total lack Of local talent. Matchmaker
Goldie Ahearn has skipped over this
sector In knitting the program, but
there's q yarn for deep consideration
behind that situation.
Washington now has no worthy
preliminary fighters. Lou Gevinson,
Buddy Scott and Hobo Williams, who
ordinarily would be confined to four
or six round bouts. have tasted the
sweetness Of feature fights and are
in a mood for more money. Judging
from their drawing power, their atti-
tude Is forgivable.
AL Of which leaves Ahearn q selec-
ton Of such moth-eaten local fighters
that he virtually Is forced to look
elsewhere to mold his cards.
Nader, nevertheless, Is well known
to Washington's ring colony, disposing
Of Terry Mitchell, BILLY Ketchell and
Billy Nichy before losing to Al Delaney
and hopping aboard ringdom's aiding

Brewers may accept a prohered bid to
the American Professional Basket
Ball League next year.
The Brewers, who were offered q
franchise in the league last year, but
rejected it due to the fact that most
Of their players could not take time out
from their regular jobs to travel, now
are in a mood to accept. The en-
thusiastic manner in which local fans
have supported the Brewers importa-
ton of major quints this season largely
is responsible.
Not since the old Palace club held
forth at the Arcadia a decade ago has
Washington been connected with the
crack court loop. Since the clubs now
in the league are grouped between
New York and Washington and a
schedule could be arranged whereby
the local five would not be forced to

hops, it is highly probable Heurich
will accept the invitation.

 Groton Accusation
 OrotCn, Conn, March 4.--(Up)- The Electric Boat Company, was accused of four violations of the Wagner Labor Act in Q formal com- plaint filed by the Industrial Union of Marine and shipbuilding Work CTS today with regional director, 4. Howard Meyers, of the National Re- lationg Board.
 The charges were brought by Philip H. Van Gelder, executive-secret of the CIO affiliate and accused the submarine building concern with:
 Organizing and dominating a corn- pany union.
 Discriminating against employees for union activities.
 Refusing to bargain collectively.
 Interfering with the right of employees for self-organization.
 Meyers said he would conduct a preliminary investigation, interro- gating workers and company offi- cials, and if probable cause" were found, he would file 6 formal com. plaint against the company with the court.
 Pressed at Capital
 Meanwhile similar complaints were being pressed at Washington by union president, John Green, who visited navy and labor officials and Connecticut congressman in behalf of the unions demand for recogni- ton as the sole bargaining agency of the company workers. Green has maintained the union, and not the Electric Boat Company, Protective Association, has majority member ship with the plan.
 Meyers set up temporary head quarters at New London and his in- quiry was expected to require near- ly week.
 Orderly picketing continued q the plant where an attempted "sit- down" was broken up last week by state police who busted l08 strikers and arrested them on trespassint charges. Their cases were sched' uled for court arraignment Friday
