C.L.0.,|S CHARGE
A. F. of L. Asserts Board Is
Retarding United Labor
Movement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The American Federation of Labor
accused the National Labor Rela-
tons Board today of retarding a
united labor movement by favoring
the Committee for Industrial Organi-
zation.
The Federation said the board was
administering the Wagner Labor Act
to promote the committee which
seeks to set up dual labor move
ment despite all the social and eco
nomic waste which dualism involves"
The criticism was expressed in an
editorial in the American Fedora
zionist, official monthly organ of the
A. F. OF L., of which William Green,
the Federation president, is editor.
Sees Different Results.
Pointing out that the purpose of
the Wagner Act was to give workers
freedom to choose their own unions
and representatives for collective bar
gaining. the editorial observed:
There are. however, connected with
the administration of the law persons
who have in mind results widely dif-
ferent from merely assuring labor the
right to membership in unions Of
their own choosing.
Instead Of performing their func-
ton with nice discrimination between
official duty and personal inclination,
they have interpreted their duty to
further dual union organization, as
against the established organization
in the unfortunate union conflict into
which we have been precipitated."
Ihe board and the A. F. Of L. have
come into conflict on several occasions
over board orders. In several instances
the board has invalidated A. F.. of L.
contracts.
Threatened to Go to Court.
Federation officials have threatened
privately to 60 to the courts and to
Congress with their complaints. Re-
Gently they sent representative to
England as member of presidential
commission to study British labor laws.
John L. Lewis, c. 1. o. leader. baked
at participating in the study, de-
claring the c. I. o. opposed any
change in the Wagner Act.
The labor board announced that it
had certified Federal Labor Union No.
20186, affiliated with the A. F. of L.,
as sole collective bargaining agency
for all hourly-paid workers of the
Babcock g. Wilcox Co., Barberton,
Ohio.
Another development in the labor
field was publication of a letter by
Representative Hoffman, Republican,
of Michigan to the Labor Board He
demanded to know whether it would
be violation of the Wagner Act for
him to mail to employees, where a
strike was in progress, copies of a
speech he made declaring Communists
were active in the c. I. o.
He said he had been informed that
the board recently held that circu-
lation by an employe of the Muskin
Shoe Co., Westminster, Md, of this
speech on company time and COM
pany property was an unfair labor
practice. Mr.. Hoffman called atten-
ton to the first amendment to the
Federal Constitution, guaranteeing
freedom of speech.
Emigration from Switzerland has
increased in the last year.

Andolina each scored six points apiece. Grout was outstand- ing for St. Thomas.
 In the senior game it was a tough fight all Che way. The Lourdes started off well when Fish CT scored six points in about five minutes of play.

Los Angeles, Dec. 23-(UP)-With a pair of lace panties flying hravely from the cowcatcher of their special train, the Duke football players ar- rive here tomorrow for the battle of the lingerie" with Southern Cali fornia.
 Not in history or the Rose Bowl has 8 visiting team arrived under such an odd emblem. Eastern teams have come flying American, state, university, and even city, flags, but none has ever come to do battle under the burgee of the boudori.
 Warriors Bold
 Dukes own North Carolina fought under the bonnie blue flag of the Confectionery. Texas, starting from the Alamo, bled and died for the lone star. Henry of Navaree's war; riors looked to the white plume.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-12-23

Washington at Valley Forge flew the thirteen stars. Napoleon's legions, from Austerlitz to Waterloo, turned to the tricolor of France.
 But tomorrow, the Blue Devils of Durham come to the Gettysburg of the west flying the standard of an exclusive women's shop. Under its hemstitched borders, beneath its hand-turned daintiness, the Blue Devils will attempt to spike the Tro- jans guns.
 Duke got its new flag a week ago when some unknown descendant of Betsy Ross carefully sewed the lace pantieS and mailed them to the CO., captains of the Duke team, Eric Tip ton and Dan Hill. They were slight ingly addressed to Agnes" Tipton and 'Eunice" Hill.
 An aroused North Carolina pop ilace immediately launched search for the sender, in the hope of locat- ing him and giving him a stag party beneath pine tree with a low branch. Many married men were listed among the suspects. I am no detective, but this would be the last group I would search for the cul- prit. Because too many married men know that the type of person who wears lace panties can be just as forceful, shall we say, as a man dressed in suit of armour and car- rying g spear. If by wearing lace panties the Duke football team can make itself as fearsome as a wife in full cry after her husbands scalp, then Southern California is going to get licked in the Rose Bowl by a Score-and I am being conser- vative-of anywhere from 45 to o to 285 to 0.
 (My wife just peeked over my shoulder to read what I have writ ten. "When yu get through with that story" she said, q will meet you at ten paces in the library. You choose your weapons" I said okay, and that would take motorcycle. See details in your morning paper)
 Psychology Stuff
 0ub JO 6Ct away 44OAA 4AAJ WAC (which isn't going to be easy) the person who sent Duke the feminine underwear probably did the Blue Devils and the ones who are backing them to win, a tremendous favor. The pants provided Coach Wallace Wade with a means of mentally readying his team for the game. I have it on the most impcacha5le authority that on the day before the game. Wade will take his team on a sightseeing tour. Not one of the regular tours, with stops at the studios, homes of the stars, and the mountains. But on tour which will include dozen shops that ham, dle feminine apparel. A stocking shop. A garden salon. A perfume store. An ear ring joint. A girdle shop.
 If you lose. boys" I have not been told Wade will say to each stop. you can come in here and buy any thing your dear little hearts desire.
 I have q notion that the Dukes will respond imagnificently to such ribbing and that when they take the field against U. s. O., their lace panty banner waving in the breeze, they will look the Trojans in the eye at the kickoff and say:
 "Okay, you guys. When that whis- tie blows we'll see who oughta wear the pants in this game"

No Thought of Retiring; ; Recalls Baltimore, l0O6
 Cubs and 1910 As
BY OSCAR FRALEY

(Un1te0 FfeSS SCam COEEeSpOn0eutD
 Philadelphia, Dec. 23-The oldest man in baseball, Connie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Ath- letics, celebrated his 76th birthday today and said his fondest hope was for "just one more great club"
 Actually, gaunt, grey-haired Con- nie's birthday was yesterday but he's been celebrating this day so long he doesn't wan to change it. It was only last year that he learned from town hall records in East Brookfield, Mass, that he was born on Dec. 9.
 The man who has led teams to nine American league pennants and five world series victories since 1901, admitted that his club next year won't be a world beater; that it is strictly 8 second division outfit. But he still hopes he'll have one more winner.
 "At least" he added with twin- kle in his keen old eyes, T think that's all I want. But, I then prob ably you'd want just one more and still another pennant."
 Keen MifS~.
 The annual question of retire. ment was brought up and Mack said: everyone but myself seems ], to think of my retirement. never felt better and there is nothing in baseball I dislike. I still like travel ing with the team and I haven't lost my desire for the game.
 "I intend to stay in baseball as on g as my mind is clear. They say when a man advances in years his mind isn't sharp. When reach the state where I don't know my business, lose my enthusiasm of players start telling me what to do, then you'll know I'm unfit.
 T hope to realize that time-when it comeS-before anyone else"
 Night Game Helps
 Mack said he looks to 1899 as a banner year because the American league finally has approved night baseball. He figured both Philadel- phia clubs would benefit more than anyone else with a total of IA night games there-seven American league games and seven in the National.
 T think it will help the weaker clubs" he said. because some cities don't draw so well as such great baseball centers as New York and Detroit. I'm sure it will aid St. Louis, Chicago and Cleveland which now will be able to attract the busi- ness men and laborer who must work throughout the day and never has had the opportunity to see game"
 Mack reiterated his belief that the New York Yankees constitute the greatest team the game has ever known-"They are just a little su- perior to the three I formerly felt were the greatest. These were the Baltimore Orioles of 1893-94, the Chicago Cubs of 1906 to 1910 and the Athletics of 1910 to 1915 who won four pennants in five years" :" And what did Mack attribute his own success to?
 Enthusiasm-both mine and the players"

 NET ACE, QUITS DAVIS CUP PLAY
Budge Hears From Famed Rival; Yanks Have Even
 Chance for Cup
BY HENRY SUPER

DIX HENRI SO6 E@
 United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 New York, Dec. 23.--(UP)-Baron Gottfried Won CramIn of Germany, one of the worlds foremost anna. teur tennis players, is retiring from tournament competition, Don Budge revealed today.
 With Won Cramm out of the Da- wis Cup picture, Budge predicted that Australia again will be the United States most formidable rival in the international trophy com- petition next year.
 Budge, who made c grand-sIarn of the Australian, French. English and American amateur titles this year, is in New Yorok preparing for his professional debut against Ells- worth Vines at Madison Square Garden on January 3.
 T had a letter from Won Cramm, written from Berlin" Budge said. "Gottfried tells me that he is giv- ing up tennis and is going into a banking house.
 Out of Jail
 Big, blond Won Cramn1, runner-up to Budge at Wimbledon, England, and Forest Hills in 1887, was re- gently released from prison by Nazi authorities. He had been jailed on a morals charge following his re- turn from an Australian tour. His friends insisted that the political aspects of the arrest were most sig nificant.
 Won Cramm's retirement came as a surprise in American tennis cir- cles, despite the unfavorable publi- city occasioned by his arrest. When Budge turned professional, he wrote a magazine article in which he gave Won Cramm such a good hand that many court observers believed it the opening gun to make Won Cramm the big drawing card for the 1889 amateur season.
 with Won Cramm definitely out of the picture" Budge said, "Aus- tralia is the logical team to meet the United States in the challenge round for the cup. If Roderich Menzel, who has played for Czecho- slovakia in the past, is drafted by Germany, the Germans will be tough, for they have another fine player in Henner Henkel. But l rank Australia, the team we beat last year in our first defense of thd cup since we won 1t from England, as the most dangerous rival because it has John Brownwich and bee cause 1t has the best balanced team.
 Even Chance
 Budge thinks that despite his desertion of the amatuer ranks, the United States still has at least an even chance to keep the cup. He rates Bobby Riggs, who handled the other singles job this year, as the outstanding contender for the No. 1 singles post.
 q played with Bobby few weeks before I came to New York" he said, land I was pleasantly sur prised to find how much stronger his game is. Bobby is forcing more now and figure he is good for two singles victories. We ought to be able to pull out one more match in the other three and in my opinion the United States has at least a fifty-fifty chance of keeping the cup"
