day when people may be hungry again.
 Jane Dillon, Connecticut's fav- orite radio star, stopped over at Meadowbrook Gardens and left a basket of fine homemade pre- serves. Miss Dillon served overseas during Warld War I, she has million things to do nowadays, but she remembers how jellies are made and how to make the best plckled pears on earth. Bet your last, thin dime on person who is natural, economical and thought ful of others. Jane Dillon is all of these things, plus.
 George Mclaughlin has install led new oil heater with an auto matic draft arrangement that tops anything we've seen. This draft opens and allows fresh air to pass into the flue as needed. It flaps tight shut when a chimney swal- low tries to get into the room to disturb George and his tOmcat.
 What price publicity?-Years ago, Sergeant Alvin York grabbed breastful of medals because his platoon managed to find bevy of Germans who wanted to surrender to the Americans and get few 1e Sergeant York didn't exactly blush at the honors heaped upon him and, according to reports, he has been very fortunate in not having to work too hard for a liv- ing since the Argonne incident.
 With York, and bearing their full share of the work, were Pri- yates Bill Cutting and Joe" Kon- Osky. Operating an automatic rifle and doing a little more than his share was Mechanic Percy Boards ley, one of our buddies from Rox- bury. Nobody offered these fellows any share of the York glory. They were ''alSo rams" when the generals pinned medals on Mister York.
 Beardsley, Cutting and Konosky kept their lips buttoned up. They were glad enough to get out of the army and back to civilian life. But Sergeant York was of a different turn of mind. He just could not settle down. Somehow, like chorus girl who has once had a speaking part, he courted the spot light. America responded. The other day, after the usual advance publicity, Warner Brothers made motion picture of the York in- cident.
 Not long after the pot began to boil again, a Warner Brothers agent toured the east with releases or documents that allowed the out fit to use the names of the "alsO ranS." The boys signed up. Later, they compared notes. Bill Cutting was paid S250 for his signature, KOnOsky received SEQ for his re- lease, and our own Percy Boards ley inscribed his name on the document for $50. (We're writing Warner Bros. to inquire why the difference? A spread of twenty bucks to two hundred and fifty is considerable. 1t looks from this station as if Percy and KOnOsky got the short end Incidentally. we wonder what Alvin York got?)

Man Commits Suicide As
CROWDS Welcome New Year

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Jan. Up,
While noisy crowds in the streets
outside welcomed the new year, a
young man shot himself to death
today in a hotel room here. His
body was not discovered until sew
eral hours later and police said
that apparently the clamor outside
had drowned the noise of the shot.
DR.. Perry T. Hough, medical ex-
aminer, gave a suicide verdict. The
man, about 20, registered Sunday
night as William Leonard Of At
lanta, Ga, but nothing to verify
the identification was found in his
effects.

COURT MAY RULE
ON ALL PROTEST
Case Involves One OF Major
Conflicts Between Green's
Group And CIO

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-(R-
The supreme court may rule tomor-
row on the American Federation
Of Labor's protest against a Ma
tional Labor Relations Board de-
cision giving the G. I. o. exclusive
bargaining rights for all Pacific
Coast longshoremen. Involved is
one of the major conflicts between
the rival labor organizations.
Contesting the boards action, the
federation argued that the long
shoremen of each individual en-
ployer should have been permitted
to choose their representatives. In
tire west coast were grouped into
one voting unit.
The federation's suit was dis
missed by the United States court
Of appeals for the District Of Co
lumbia. It held that it had power
to pass only upon final orders
of the labor board and that the
certification OF the CLIO was not a
final order.
In reply, the federation asserted
that the effect Of the c~ertification
was .'final' because it's west coast
locals were being disrupted" and
their membership twas being de-
stroyed."
Two other disputes over labor
board orders are included in the %
cases which the court has under
consideration.
One Of them involves the right
of the board to place the name of
only one labor organization "a CLIO
affiliate) on a run-off election bal
lot to determine collective bargain
ing representation for employees OF
the Consumers Power company oil
Jackson, Michigan.
The board directed that the EN-.
! ployes vote for or against represen.
[tation by the utility workers com
mittee. The sixth federal circuit
l court held that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor affiliate, tho In,
ternational Brotherhood of Electri
cal Workers, had a right to {
place on the ballot also.
The third labor case presents thu
question whether workmen belong
: ing to a labor organization ordered
disestablished by the labor boare
> may again choose that organization
as their collective bargaining
agency.
j, Specifically at issue in this in
stance was a labor board order di
recting the Falk Corporation o
Milwa' zee to withdraw recognition
from the Independent union of Fall
|employes.
