RECORDS SURE
 TO STAND UP AT
 M|LROSE GAMES
Athletes Not in Best Form for Tests Tonight in
 New York

New York, Feb. S-(Up)-After several tryouts on the tank town circuit, the track and field brigade moves on to the big time tonight in the 32nd annual Millrose games at Madison Square Garden-first big meet of the indoor season.
 And for once, the boys weren't re- dieting today that records would fall in wholesale quantities. Tn fact, 1t will be miraculous if any of the ma jor marks topple before the assaults of Q field that includes the "Who's Who" of American track.
 After years of pounding, the marks have been shaved SO that 1t now would take super.human efforts to better them and 1t doesn't appear that any such performances will be seen tonight because the athletes are not yet in their best form.
 Only two records are in danger the 600 yard mark and the freak two-thirds of Q mile distance. In the GOO, Harold Cagle, Q red-hot article from Oklahoma Baptist university, wil ltry and lower the i:ii.i record hung up year ago by Jimmy Her bert of New York university.
 The two-third mile mark is one of the oldest in the boks-2:43.6 @ set in 1928 by J. J. Connolly in New York. Gene Venzke, former king of the milers who has been finishing second to Glenn Cunningham these many years, vii ltry to lower that mark.
 The meet features 22 events.
 As usual, the big race will be the mile in which old man perpetual motion himself, Cunningham is fa- vored. Glenn has virtually no chance of cracking the 4:04.4 reeor dhe set In Q special race last year at Dart- mouth; 50 1t will Do news only it Glenn loses.
 Lined up against him will be Q classy field that includes Archie San Romani, Josef Mostert of Belgium John Munski, University of Missouri Charles Fenski of Wisconsin, and the rideout twins, Blaine and Wayne from Denton, Tex.

NEWSPAPER GUILD IN
CONTEMPT OF COURT

Chicago (ILNS). - The Chicago
Newspaper Guild has been fined $500
on a charge of contempt of court,
Judge John j. Lupe ruling that guild
members had violated an injunction
issued last February by Judge Grover
c. Niemeyer.
The order enjoined the guild, an
affiliate of the c. l. o., from harassing
advertisers or subscribers of the two
Hearst Chicago newspapers, now
combined as The Herald-American
A strike has been in progress at the
Hearst plant since last December 5.
Judge Lupe said the guild had re-
fused to present evidence or to cross
examine witnesses, although it re-
ceived an opportunity to do SO. He
ruled that there was insufficient evi-
dence against the American News
paper Guild, party defendant.

A. F. |. TO CONTINUE
bipartisan WAY

Cincinnati (ILNS). William Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, declared here that the fed
GRAFTON would continue to follow
course of "non-partisan politics."
In speech before the twenty-sixth
convention of the Amalgamated As
sociation of Street, Electric Railway
and Motor Coach Employees of Amer
lea, President Green said any change
from this policy would make the fed
GRAFTON mere appendage of one or
the other major political party
Three resolutions urging a third
term for President Roosevelt were re-
jected by w. D. Mahon, president of
the union, because of this -parti-
san" policy.
Green attacked John L. Lewis as a
dictator, Hitler" and blamed him
for the division within the labor
movement.
The Amalgamated Association cele-
brated it's forty-seventh anniversary
during its convention here.

Payment Of Workmens Compensation To Injured State
Employees JeOpardized-G General Assembly Ignored
Commissions Request For 81 100000

by the Industrial Commission, and
the amount appropriated has been
applied for losses incurred, no further
disbursements for losses sustained in
subsequent service to the state shall
be made until state funds for that
purpose have been made available as
provided by law
The accumulative record to Novem-
ber 1, 1888, shows that awards
granted prior to that time have ex-
ceeded the appropriations provided by
past General Assemblies, and that
current awards are being paid with
out available funds in the state public
employe account in the public fund.
Section 1465-54 provides for setting
aside funds for the creation of a sur
plus to guarantee solvent fund, but
the failure of General Assemblies to
appropriate sufficient premiums to
absorb the existing deficit has pre-
vented application of that section of
the law
The commissions request for a
premium appropriation Of $1,500,000
for the 1939-40 biennium was based
on total estimated obligation of
$1,773, ,806 to January /, 1941, includ-
ing the accumulative deficit of $685.
806, which would have left deficit
of only $273,8 at the end of the
current biennium.
Commission records show that the
deficit in the states portion of the
public employees fund is charged di-
rectly to the highway department.
The major portion of the accumulated
deficit of the high department oc-
Cured prior to 1881, as no appropria-
ton had been made from highway
funds up to that time to meet work
mems compensation losses of high
way employees.
| Officials admit that they are facing
serious condition of withholding
compensation benefits from state en-
ployes or their dependents, not only
from legal standpoint but also to
enable them to maintain some SEM
blance of an actuarilly sound public
employees fund.

Columbus, Ohio.-Payment of work
mems compensation to injured state
employees and dependents Of workers
killed on state jobs may be terminated
at any time because of the failure of
Ohio General Assemblies to appropri-
ate sufficient contribution to the
public employees fund to pay claims
allowed by the Industrial Commission.
The states accumulative deficit is
revealed in the record of awards and
total losses incurred in comparison
with amounts appropriated by Gen
eral Assemblies. Total losses in
Cured amounted to $4,183,743 as of
November /, 1888, while appropria-
tions totalled only $3,329,937, leaving
deficit of $853,806.
The Ninety-Third General Assem-
bly,, by appropriating only $50O,00O
for the public employees fund for the
1939-40 biennium, ignored the COM
missions request for $1,500,000, the
amount necessary to restore the
states account in the public employees
fund to near-solvency
The premium of $500000 appropri-
ated by the Ninety Second General
Assembly was 100000 less than the
amount appropriated by the Ninety
First General Assembly, and resulted
in an increase of $266,621 in the def
cit during the 1878 biennium.
With the Ninety Third General AS
sembly following in the footsteps OF
| it's predecessor, the deficit can be ex-
pected to reach at least $1,120,427
during the current biennium.
Section 1465-63 provides that il
fixing the amount of contributions tC
be made to the public employe funo
by taxing districts of the state, the
amount shall be determined so as ul
timately to establish solvent public
fund by January 1, 1912.
Inasmuch as the state public EN-
ploye fund is a portion of the public
fund, contributed to by townships ant
municipalities, workmen's compensa
tion to state employees is being paie
from reserves set up by the commits
sion for awards allowed but being
paid in installments every two weeks
and from premiums paid by the town
ships and municipalities.
The Legislature, in 1881, separated
the public employees fund from th'
private employer fund, and payments
to state employees cannot be made
from the private fund.
/ Commission officials admitted las
week that awards were being allowed
on state employe claims and compen
sation paid contrary to Section 1465
64 of the General Code, which pro
vides:

does not appropriate the amoun

that Americans be informed on all
national attempts to influence our
opinions. To date, we have not been
impressed by their efficiency. The
German, Polish, and Italian broad
casts, which are out-and-out propa-
ganda, discount the ability of Ameri-
cans either to hear other stations or
to read newspapers. The German, es-
pecially, has tried clumsily to under
mine American confidence in our
press-even to the extent of quoting
from a non-existent American news
paper. Let's assume the basic intel
ligence Of our citizenry, its belief in

sINSURRECTIONo CASE ENDED

New York City (ILNS).-With the
case against the remaining six de-
PENDANTS mol pressed, the three-year-
old prosecution of group of Atlanta
residents for violation of the Georgia
insurrection statute has finally come
to an end, the American Civil Liber-
ties Union has been informed. Dis
missal of the indictments followed a
formal demand for trial by counsel
for the defendants. The case goes
back to 1886 when Is persons were
arrested in a police raid on meeting
in private home on the charge of
"inciting to insurrection." The "evi-
dence" against the defendants con-
