It could take no action, but officials said that was extremely doubtful.
 After a check of the company payroll with the roster of Local 2O3, International Mine, Mill and Smel- ter Workers Union had been made last evening, it was revealed at the hearing that 408 of the men whose names appeared on the Union ros- ter were also on the A. J. payroll as of September 12. Of this num- Der. it was said that about 100 were in arrears with their dues. Finan- cial Secretary John Covich said he had not counted the actual number but had checked them on the pay roll and union roster. The figure of approximately 103 in arrears was read into the record by M. T. John- son, attorney for the American Fed eration of Labor Unions, and the figure was not challenged. Loca 2O3 is seeking to be named the bar gaining agency.
 The check of the payroll also re- vealed, Board Attorney Thomas Graham said for purpose of the re- cord. included. 45 names of em- ployees who should be excluded from the production and mainten- ance classification under considera- ton.

 At the annual religious cere- monies of the remaining Iroquois speakers mention the fact that Washington pledged the Indians their old homes after the Revolu- ton, and showed them great kind mess.
 In addition to the lodge Wash ingtons spirit is offered the right to bring along his dog. The Iro- quois believe that dogs go to Heaven because of the love they show for human beings.

 These alliance have been the tar get of German Italian Japanese anti-Connmunism pacts.

In explaining, the informant said Germany must have the decisive word to say on the output of the great Skoda munitions work at Pil- sen and the destination of that out put.

to give short answer, we said that
driftWood was why no one except in
land freighters cruised the water
way after dark. Said the skipper,
I'VE must have hit II of them"
Needs More Night Anchorage.
Still the crying need of the route
is more adequate and frequent IA
cilities between ports for docking
or anchoring overnight. Often when
darkness comes on, miles from a
town, a boat must anchor bow and
stern at the edge of the channel
and trust that the turn of the tide
won't set her out in the fairway
or into the meadows. That very
thing happened to the Larc and it
was the night it blew a breeze of
wind" With only a 9o-foot channel
width, there is precious little room
for dragging.
A series Of dolphins along the
route would improve the situation
and eliminate many headaches.
Reminiscent of the landlubber's
highways, arrow sign posts in the
flats from Norfolk to Florida con-
veniently give the mileage to the
next important port as we'll as iden-
tify certain bodies of water. And
just to give them an added land
going touch, they are in salute in
stead of nautical miles.
With the Army engineers improv-
yyYcy hn fn,~ ~ ~, -, ir1rr
additional aids to navigation, it will
be wise to keep your charts up to
date. The Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey recently issued the first complete
series of charts, all to the same
scale, of the entire route. They are
large enough to permit the inclu-
sion of much important data not
printed before. There are 20 in all
and sell for Is cents apiece.
Is Yachting Going Soft?
The engineers continue to play
watchdog for any shoaling. Work
will begin shortly on the 50-mile
stretch from Charleston to Beaufort,
S. c. When completed, the 90-foot
width, 12-foot minimum depth will
be assured from Norfolk to Jack
sonville. It won't be long before
offshore cruising below Hatteras will
be as rare as a seven-masted
schooner or full-rigged ship. May
be yachting is going soft.
Rope ends: If you think there is
enough twisting and turning in the
Norfolk-Beaufort IN. c. section,
wait until you get down into Geor-
gia's sea islands. In a single days
run you'll have courses on every
point Of the compass . Unless
boat has better than a 6-knot speed
there is little use in trying to buck
the currents that swirl through the
sea islands.
When St. Andrews Sound In
Southern Georgia is crossed
the last-exposed body Of water
to worry the little fellow Is
passed.
st. Augustine, Fla, possesses
fine yacht dock, but a boat coming

Brady and Ryon, After
Lieht-Heovy Honors,
Likely to Feature

Golden Gloves warriors are ready
for the semi-final bouts Wednesday
night at Turner's Arena, with a ca
pacity crowd expected to attend 16
matches. Last week at the quarter
finals 1900 fans jammed into the
hall before the Fire Department
stopped ticket sales.
So far in the sixth annual tour
ney novices almost completely have
stolen the show, but the seniors are
expected to come into their own this
week in the six bouts listed In their
division. Some hot naturals are
promised, with such fighters as Bus
ter Miller, Steve Thompson, Tono
De Toto, Billy Kekeris, Bill Nolan,
Leon Miller, Bernie Hardy and Jim
Brady on the program.
Brady Meets Ryan.
Probably the most interesting bat
tie will be the 175-pound final in
which Brady, Georgetown Uni
versity's colored heavyweight win
ner last year, goes after the light
heavyweight title in competition
with George Ryan of Fort Myer.
Although Brady rules slight favor
ite to cop the title, the Fort Myer
soldier is numbered among the most
rugged and hardest punching boys
in the tournament.
In the senior heavyweight semi
final, qualifying for match with
Jimmy De Chard. frankie Mann's
protege, Leon Miller of Fort Myer,
the District A. A. U. champion, is
paired with Bill Nolan of the Dis
trict National Guard. Miller Is a
Furnishing puncher and shifty boxer,
but encounters stern opposition in
Nolan, who has improved recently
under the handling of Matt Twomey
Miller Defends Title.
Buster Miller, unmatched, de-
fends his 126-pound title against
Bill Harrison of Alexandria. One
of the best boxers in recent Golden
Gloves competition, Miller figures
to retain the crown. In another
senior match Steve Thompson of
the Guards returns after a years
inactivity to meet Earl Haynes, un-
matched, in welter match. Haynes
won a first-round knockout in his
first gloves start.
The remaining senior bouts bring
together Tony De Toto and Bernie
Hardy, both Of No. Police Boys
Club, at 118 pounds, and Billy Ke-
keris, National Guards, and Jackie
Claggett, unmatched, at 135 pounds.
