Labor Board Ruling
Is Declared Absurd

SANTA MONICA, Calf, Dec. 8
R.-A National Labor Relations
Board ruling, ordering the Douglas
Aircraft Co. to reinstate 81 sit-down
strikers, was termed "one more alb
surd ruling" by Donald Douglas.
president of the company. He said
he would appeal the order announced
in Washington yesterday.
by this time" his statement con-
tinued, Everybody in the United
States, except the board members,
knows the board has been steering a
reckless course up a blind alley. In
the Douglas cases its decisions have
been travesties on justice and a
challenge to reason. Created to in
sure peace and friendly relations in

Publisher Explains
Reason for Refusal
To Debate Guild
Forum on Negotiations
Is Cut OFF Air by
Radio Station
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 9.-Wilmer
M. Jacoby, publisher of the Pitts
burgh Sun-Telegraph, said today he
had declined to participate In a
radio forum on negotiations with
the c I. o. American Newspaper
Guild because he did not intend to
negotiate union contracts "over the
air or at public assemblies"
The forum on the deadlocked
negotiations was cut of by radio
station WWSW after % minutes of
a scheduled half-hour program, re-
sulting in a telegraphed protest to
the Federal Communications Com
mission from the Guild.
Frank Smith. manager of the sta
ton, said the forum was broken of
because the speakers had made "in-
f1ammatory remarks" and because
both sides were not represented.
The newspaper has refused de-
mands for a guild shop in the 1899
contracts.
mo Interest to Public"
Mr.. Jacoby said he did not con-
slider the negotiations of interest to
the public at this time. adding:
Our contracts with four other
labor unions are open at the mo-
ment-printers, pressmen, mailers
and paper handlers, all A. F. of L.
The Sun-Telegraph has separate
contract with the C. I. O. Guild,
and If we are not able to agree on
a new contract and a guild strike
occurs, we can operate, publish and
circulate our newspaper with the
cooperation of the other unions"
He said the Sun-Telegraph and
two other Pittsburgh newspapers
Post-Gazette and Press, had joint
contracts with the A. F. of l.. and
that a strike of one of those unions
might mean the closing of all three
newspapers. He added, however
that such a strike was "inconceiv-
able" under present conditions.
Guild Heads Statement.
President Howard Browning of the
Guild said the F. C. C. had been
asked to investigate the radio sta
ton action. He said in a statement: ::
The program was shut off shortly
after we voiced our opinion that not
only the Sun-Telegraph but the

Gazette, said his paper exercised no
supervision over programs of
WWSW and had nothing whatever
to do with the stations action"

Virginia Girl Home,
In Daze, Tells Of
Being Abducted
December Bride-to-Be
Soys Two Men Took
Her Awoy in Car
By the Associated Press.

6y tnS AAbOClAteO fIc66.
NEW MARKET, Va, Dec. o.
Miss Margaret Bushong, 2l, Of New
Market, a December bride-to-be,
was under the care of her parents
today after returning from an over
night absence apparently in dazed
condition and with her clothing
dripping wet
The Northern Virginia Daily,
Strasburg newspaper. said a reliable
source informed it the girl told her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs Homer E.
Bushong, that she had been abduct-
ed by two men at Harrisonburg
Wednesday.
She wandered into a service sta
ton several miles from Harrison
burg early Thursday and was re-
turned home, where her father and
mother had kept an all-night vigil.
Woke Up In Automobile.
The newspapers informant said
the young woman told of regain
ing consciousness to find herself in
an automobile with the two men on
dark country road. What occurred
from that time until she appeared
at the service station was not clear
The newspaper account, however
which said its information came
from an unQuestionable source, re-
lated the story of the girls disap-
pearance as follows:
She had gone to Harrisonbure
with her step-mother, Mrs. Florence
Bushong, on Wednesday, and there
they temporarily parted. When Mrs
Bushong returned to their auto
mobile, the girl was missing although
some of her purchases had been left
in the car.
Finding no trace of the girl, Mrs
Bushong notified police.
Debated Disposition.
The gist of the story brought back
to her parents, the paper said, was
that the girls "captors' debated
what disposition to make of hel
after one declared, I'VE have the
wrong girl"
The condition of the girls cloth
ing recalled that a small stream
flows near the point where she was
found. The account said the victim
quoted one of the men as saying
I'VE had better throw her in the
creek" but where she actually was
left was not learned.
Police ana members of the family
declined to comment on the case.
It was similar in many respects
to the recent Mary Brown case al
Oxon Hill, Nd, where Miss Brown
reported to police she was abducted
and held captive for many hours
before being allowed to return home
to her parents.

NEW PITCHER IS SOS. OF BOSTON RED S0x TEAM
League Leaders a Week Ago Drop to Fourth;
 Cronin Desperate
BY ROBERT WEBB United Press Staf Correspondent

Boston, June l.--CUP) Unless Thomas Yawkey, millionaire owner Of the Red Sox, sticks to his de- cision 10 purchase no more ball players, the Red Sox will buy a starting pitcher within two weeks
 During the present road trip which started in the west and end ed in the Yankee stadium, the Red Sox won only three Of l2 games. They left FenWay park on the wings Of an eeight-game winning streak that moved them into first place. Today they come home in fourth.
 It Is clear that the Red Sox great est lack is pitching. During the dozen games played away from home, only Grove and Wilson went the route. Lefty pitched two con- plete games. beating St. Louis and Detroit. Jack Wilson lost to Detroit and the Yankees and beat Cleveland the three times he went the dis tance.
 Can't Be Done
 There's not baseball team in the business that can exist on two start ing pitchers. The Yankees, Cleveland and Detroit are stronger on the mound than the Red Sox whose gen. eral hitting strength has carried them since the season opened.
 Fritz Ostermueller, after winning his first two games, has been knock ed out five times while Johnny Marcum hasn't pitched a complete game for almost a month. Manager Joe Cronin counted on these men for starting assignments. Both ap- parently haven't enough ability and Cronln in desperation will now give his young pitchers chance.
 During the winter, 1t appeared the Sox would be bolstered by a group of younger pitchers who made enyiable records in the minor leagues during 1887. General Manager Eddie Collins appeared confident that the Red Sox juveniles would come through.
 Uncertain
 Jim Bagby, Jr., who has started more games than any of the new young pitchers, has shown good form in spots. Yet only on one oc- casion has he gone the route, when he beat Cleveland 15-3 in Boston three weeks ago.
 Emery Dickman hasn't pitched more than 42-3 innings at any time will Lee Rogers and Charlie Wag- ner have appeared only briefly. Rog- CTS has worked 62-3 inning spread over four games while Wagner has pitched the same amount of innings in five.
 Unless Rogers, Wagner or Dick man can develop into a starting pitcher, the Red SoX bid for the American League pennant will fall far short. The rest of the team is of championship caliber, despite weakness at second base and behind ! the bat.
 Just whom the Red Sox will add to their pitching staff is uncertain. Crcnln has openly said he wanted Elden Auker, the Tigers submarine baller. The Red Sox will probably have to deal with second division teams, though, because 1t is unlikely that Detroit, Cleveland, or New York would strengthen a potential | contender.

 It is claimed by some that a tall golfer must swing upright and a short player must swing fiat.
 But Macdonald Smith is tall, and has fiat Carnoustie swing. {" points out Davie Millar, professional Of Detroit's Clinton Valley. Mac Smith is conceded to be one of the greatest players the world has known. Yet he can-and does-play equally well with an upright swing.
 There are players among the topnotchers as well as handicap golfers who must stick to one swing but a real golfer can hit a good shot with fiat or an upright swing.
 Every player or prospective player has natural swing, whether 1t is at golf or working with a scythe.
 That swing is the one to be de- veloped.
 Hitting golf ball is only swing ing a club the easiest way possible for the individual doing the job." Get that easy-fiowing fling or throw of the club, and forget whether it is fiat or round.

"IrOn Man" Takes Part in lz-5 Yank Victory Over
 Boston Red SOx
By GEORGE KIRKSEY

| kOhtCU 1febb Otau OVrhebpUnueHtJ
 New York, June l. (UP)-Thirteen years ago today the late Miller Huggins looked down the Yankee bench and motioned to raw re- cruit to go in and pinch-hit.
 The young busher just up from Hartford slashed out single, and the next day he replaced Wally Pipp at first base in the Tanks lineup. From then on Lou Gehrig has played every day-aches or pains, sick or well. In that time he's played 2,000 consecutive games, more than any other play in history. And to- day he gets ready to play No. 2,00l and he says he isn't going to stop until he makes it 2,500. Long ago Gehrig broke the pre- vious mark of 1907 set by Deacon Scott-a record which once seemed beyond approach. In 7,455 times at bat, Gehrig has made 2559 hits, ] scored 1,785 runs, hit 468 home runs, driven in 1897 runs and has life time major league batting average of .343.
 No Bench Take a rest?-Gehrig laughs at the suggestion.
 T like to play baseball and I'm going to keep on as long as I can do my job. wouldn't think of sit ting on the bench"
 Gehrig clicked of No 2,0OO yes- terday as the Tanks came from be- hind to knock off the Boston Red Sox, 12-5, and sweep 3-game series in the only major league game. He went to bat 4 times, made a single in the eighth to drive in a run and handled IA chances perfectly afield.
 The Yanks' iron man now ap- preaching 35, took the occasion lightly. No fuss, please" he re- marked. Its just another ball game"
 Gehrigs rival first baseman, Jim my Foxx, had brief moment of triumph when he clouted a home ran with the bases loaded in the fifth inning but it was the Red Sox's only serious rally, as Joe Beggs and Johnny Murphy combined to pitch a shit game.
 The victory enabled the Tanks to cut Cleveland's American league lead to three games.
 Another east-west intersectional series opens today with the western American league clubs invading the east and the eastern National league clubs invading the west.
 Jake Powell, Yankee outfelder who engaged in fist fight with Manager Joe Cronin of the Red Sox, today was serving the second day of 3-day suspension tagged on him by President Will Harridge. In addition he was fined $25. Cronin was not punished.
