the policy OF attempting to raid
unions OF one another.
By the Associated Press.
HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. 15.-The
American Federation of Labor today
started after the c. I. O.'s longshore-
men and sailors by land and by sea.
A new seamen's union, designed to
become an integral part Of new A.
F. of L. maritime department COM
posed of sailors, dock teamsters and
longshoremen, was chartered late yes
terday by the A. F. of L. Executive
Council. Harry Lundeberg. foe of the
c. I. O., was placed at its helm.
Mr.. Lundeberg prepared to merge
his 5000 members of the Sailors
Union of the Pacific, 1000 Atlantic
and Gulf tars and 5000 Great Lakes
sailors into the Seafarers' Interna-
tional Union of America, which will
: replace the disrupted Seamen's Union
Hope to Have 125,OO0.
Mr.. Lundeberg. who hopes to have
125,000 members within few months,
openly predicted a battle with the
rival C. l. o. unions-Harry Bridges
longshoremen and Hugh Curran's Ma
tlonal Maritime Union.
"Trouble?" he asked. Sure, that's
natural"
President William Green of the A.
F. of L. personally handed Mr.. Lunde-
berg the charter
Green said the A. F. of L. likely
will begin organizing marine depart
nent which eventually will include
sailors. longshoremen. teamsters han
ding dock cargoes, licensed mariners,
ship radio operators and others.
May Trap C. I. O.
Some observers said the move to
line up the sailors, teamsters and
longshoremen in marine department
of the A. F. of L. may trap the strong
c. I. O. longshoremen on the Pacific
Coast in the middle, if an A. F. of l..
strike is called.
Seamen, it was pointed out, could
refuse to move ships and teamsters
could refuse to move ships cargoes,
thus leaving the c. I. o. longshoremen
on the dock On the other hand, they
argued, If the c. I. o. longshoremen
called a strike the seamen and team
sters could help A. F. of L. longshore-
men handle their problems.
The Executive Council voted to hold
its midwinter meeting January 7, at

that with proper organization, Amer

one-third over this year.
The Army and Navy have been
ready for weeks with proposals for
more men, guns, ships, munitions and
planes.
The Navy has asked for funds to
start building two more battleships

The Army has prepared estimates

SNEAD HEADS LIST OF GOLF STARS WHO HAVE
 THAT EASY PUTTING TOUCH
By ART KRENZ NEA Service Golf Writer

NEA Service G0H Writer
 Willie Macfarlane envies Johnny Revolta, Horton Smith, and Paul Runyan.
 They scarcely ever muff hole putt" says the Scotsman who bested Bobby Jones in a double playoff at Worcester for the United States Open championship of 1925.
 Until this spring I fancied my self as butter, but my touch van- ished overnight. The same thing happened to Walter Hagen. It's one of those things nobody can explain. Everybody is giving me tips, but so far the suggestions haven't helped. I'm sunk without a putting touch because my game depends on sav- ing strokes around the greens" Gene Sarazen will take Samuel Jackson Snead on the green as well as of the tee.
 "Snead's putting touch is easy on the eyes" explains Sarazen. Sam keeps the face of the blade looking squarely at the hole throughout his swing.
 "Snead strokes through the ball smoothly instead of hitting it a sharp, short tap, as do Revolta and Runyan. Their method gets results, I'll agree, but the tap is more likely to go wrong in the course of 8 To- year span. Snead's sounder putting method should stand the test of time.
 T pick Snead to dominate tour nament golf for the next decade because, in addition to his foolproof swing, his easy natural style, tre- mendous strength, and his billiard cue touch on the green, he has youth on his side.
 "Snead will learn to control his temper"
