 Correspondent

Washington, Nov. e-Exchange of fire between the Maritime Commis. sion and the National Maritime Union, featured by Chairman Joe Kennedy's put 'em in irons" cable to the Algic's captain at Montevidco, and union President Joe Curran's promise to "get Kennedy's scalp" is going to get hotter.
 The two chief factors begging so- lution are a strong anti-union feel- ing among most members of the commission and its staff and Q se- rious series of breaches of discipline, especially among stewards, in the American merchant marine.
 Coast Guard to Train Men
 Labor leaders don't know 1t yet, but they'll be hollering blue murder when the commissions report on the whole merchant marine situation is sent to Congress this month. The commission has decided that the Coast Guard should be used to train seamen, that new seamen should learn discipline on Coast Guard ves- sels and that subsidy contracts should require ship operators to hire the graduates.
 This hits the seamen's unions right between the eyes. It would
 strike at their union hiring halls,
 where men are provided for out
 going ships, and tend to weaken if not destroy the unions.
 The scheme is sure to be denounc- ed as "union-busting" device and reports from inside the commission indicate that some members and high officials believe. with either enthusiasm or disapproval, that 1t is exactly that. The dominant feeling in the commission is that labor unions. at least militant unions, have no place in the merchant ma rine.

disputed, will be ruled on by c fed- eral court faced by i4 crew members who temporarily stopped work at Montevideo.
 May Deal With Unions
 / Tn the background is the fact that seamen whose wages were forced down as low as $25 or $30 c month and who crowded into filthy, vermin infested quarters with bad food un- til many of the better ones left the sea, are now feeling their oats and It's cats, too, and has hired men
 But the commission is feeling releasing pent-up emotions.
 for key jobs who privately admit anti-union prejudice. Finally some Washington reports - not publi. clzed from commission sources indicate that some American pas. sengers are more provocative In dealing with stewards than pas sengers on European lines.
 The question will be asked, fai-ly or not, why the Maritime Commis- sion couldn't try to work with the unions, since interests of sailors are vitally bound up with good opera. ton of American ships. There is no record that 1t ever has taken up any complaint with any of the unions.

of the commission lately in advance of its report, everyone concerned sympathetic to unions or not-agrees that a bad situation has existed and that something must~be done to re- duce the large volume Of passenger complaints. If union leaders fail to enforce better discipline among crews, they need expect no great sympathy in official Washington. The Pilot, official N. M. U. organ, has had several editorials demanding better discipline and in at least one instance the union has promised to approve discharge of steward gull ty of bad behavior.
 Meanwhile publicity is being given to alleged instances of the seaman who demanded hearts of lettuce in- stead of lettuce leaves, 8 crew which insisted on unloading a ship on the shady rather than the sunny side or wharf, a drunken steward who fell into swimming pool among guests. a steward who said to a female pas- senger, "Oet mp. baby. it's time for breakfast" and so on.

There seemed to be no uniformity ct all as to what the quints could or could not do in this field.

Dizzy Mcleod Of Furman supports
the latter half of that suggestion,
made on the grounds that a player
who has been clipped usually is un-
able to continue in the game.
Marchie Schwartz of Creighton, as
a safety measure, would abolish the

the ball in play at the spot where
the offense fumbles, rather than
where it. RECEIVERS. Jones would
penalize the offense at the spot OF
the foul rather than of the previous
