BOWLERS BACK FROM WATERLOO
 AT ANCHORAGE
Elks' Pinmen Report Abso- lutely Top Treatment
 by Hosts

Reporting wonderful treatment at the hands of the Anchorage resi- dents and tournament committee. the Juneau Elks' Bowling team re- turned home Saturday evening on the steamer Northwestern.
 All declared they had an almost perfect trip, with the only fly in the ointment being that they didn't come out so well against the Anchor age pinmen in the bowling phase of the Anchorage Winter Sports Tournament. h
 Not attempting to alibi their de- feat at the hands of an exception lily fine Anchorage team, the Ju- leau rollers accounted for their poor showing, partly, by declaring that they were considerably handicapped 1t first by competing on entirely strange alleys ade ei saia4sa
 During all of their ten-cay stay at Anchorage, the Juneau bowlers de- clared, they were made to feelathat nothing was too good for them. and they have nothing but praise for the way in which the tourney was conducted e5itf t
 Members of the Elks' team arriy- ing back in Juneau were Martin Lavenik, Ed Radde, Jimmy Barra- gar, Robert Kaufmann, and R. H. Stevenson. AeE
 Stevsnson, the star of the Juneau aggregation, was accompanied on the trip by his wife, who performed in the role of mascot for the Juneau team Steve Vukovich, sixth mem Der of the squad, remained at An- chorage for time m $ Their trip was somewhat extend ed due to poor steamer connections. Returning from Anchorage, they were three days at Seward, await ing the Northwestern.
 The Juneau rollers can claim, however, that they were not entire ly whitewashed. They defeated the Anchorage ladies team in a special, post tourney ma tcn,.

BY JOHN C. HENRY.

Peace negotiations between the
Committee for Industrial Organization
and the American Federation Of Labor
appeared heading into a climax today
as A. F. of L. representatives clung
stubbornly to their insistence that the
c. I. o. be abandoned as an entity.
and c. I. o. conferees displayed an
equal determination to assure them
selves undisputed jurisdiction in the
Nations great industries.
George M. Harrison, chairman of
the A. F. of L. negotiators, made the
Federation position clear in converse
tion with reporters before entering
today's session. ....'.
Well do certain things providing
they will do certain things" Mr.. Har-
rison said, but naturally we can't
bargain by conceding something unless
they will"
Asked what he wanted the c. I. o.
conferees to do, he replied:
Abandon the C. I. O."
After comforting for more than two
hours with John L. Lewis, the G. I. O.
delegation arrived at the peace parley
shortly before noon, grimly refusing
any comment on the status of negotia-
tions. Yesterday the conferees had
deadlocked the sessions by a demand
that the A. r. OF L. Committee place
In writing its willingness to allow un-
qualified industrial organization in
some is important mass production
industries.
It was this request, in connection
with which they offered no compara-
bic concession, that Mr.. Harrison's
committee declined to meet. Although
they previously had indicated they
would be willing to make such con-
cession, the Federation negotiators
never have specified which industries
they would be willing to turn over to
industrial organization.
Although the spotting Of such in
dustries would be an obvious advan-
tage for the c. I. o. conferees, their
insistence on such action Is based
partly also on their long g-standing
doubt rs to the actual authority Of the
Federation committee.

sultations with other powers looking

unrest.

Germany's colonial demands could not

It declared France and Britain were
ready to cooperate with other powers
in protecting both their rights and
treaty obligations in the Far East.
Statement Given Commons.
The statement. outlining the French
and British position. was made to the
House of Commons after the heads Of
both governments had completed a
two-day review of their problems and
destinies in world danger spots.
The Prime Minister told Commons: :
The ultimate object we have in
view is general settlement.
1T is obvious that a general settle
ment cannot be arrived at merely by
conversations between two. or even
among three, countries
Therefore. We must ultimately con-
template that other countries should

BACKGROUND
Storm OF criticism and praise
tDds precipitated by announcement
tetp months ago that Home OUners'
Loan Corporation Mould partici-
pate in group health insurance
plan for its employees. Most OF
criticism has come from organized
medicine. Individual participation
in plan is on voluntary basis.
Officials of the Home Owners Loan
Corp. have been called on by Sena tor
McCarran. Democrat. of Nevada ito
explain on what authority they have
contributed $4,000 of Government
funds to an experiment in collective
medicine"
The Senator also announced today
he had called on the controller gen.
eral to investigate the contribution
for the operation of Group Health
Association, Inc. set up to give medical
care to employees of TIE Federal Home
Loan Bank Board. the Home Owners
Loan Corp. and affiliated agencies, who
join G. H. A.
From Government sources IL had
previously been explained oficially
that $4,000 had been advanced this
year. and the F. H. L. B. B. stood
ready to advance $4,000 more next
year for the G. H. A. A clinic has

tice OF medicine. Both these charges
are denied by G. H. A. officials, who
claim 1t is corporation selling service
Senator McCarran, in his statement
said he had called on H. o. L. c. OH
cials for an explanation because there
appears considerable doubt as to the
legality of it.
The Home Owners Loan Corp. was
set up by Congress to lend money to
private citizens on their homes or to
guarantee such loans already made,
1t was never contemplated by
Congress that any money appropriated
for the H. o. L. c. would be donated
to any one or to any oreaniza ton for
any purpose. 1t certainly was not
contemplated that any money would
be donated for an experiment in COL
lective State-subsidized medicine.
The controller general, whose duty
1t is to pass on all expenditures OF
Government funds, should investigate
this particular expenditure at once.
