Speed Readjustment
Nationwide Projects to
Give Jobs PIonned;
Industry to Get Looms
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VICHY, France, Aug. 15-The
French government stepped in to
regulate working hours in private
industry today as one of the major
problems affecting rapid readjust-
ment of Frances social and eco
nomic life.
Departmental projects were given
authority to fix maximum working
hours for each industry and pro-
fession in their territory in accord
ance with conditions in their par
ticular region.
While national wartime tax of
40 per cent of workers overtime
pay was removed all overtime,
which is not permitted to exceed
72 hours yearly, now will be paid
at the same rate as ordinary hours.
Work Projects Planned.
Employees will be required to con-
tribute an amount equal to 20 per
cent of overtime pay to a workers
benefit fund.
A national maximum of 48 ordi-
nary work hours a week, or nine q
day, was fixed by a decree pub
lished in the official journal.
At the same time the government
announced it would 60 ahead at
once with a nation wide program
of electrifying the railways and re-
pairing war damages, thus giving
jobs to many thousands of unem-
ployed. The government also will
make loans to private industry to
get it back on its feet. Mixed COM
mittees of industrialists and gov
ernment experts are being formed
to decide what loans shall be
granted and to supervise use of the
funds.
May Release Prisoners.
It was announced German au-
thorities are studying proposal for
the release of war prisoners urgent
ly needed in Nazi-occupied France
for industrial and public service
jobs. These prisoners would be
given "leave from captivity" to re-
turn to their jobs, but technically
still would be considered prisoners.
A public warning against levity
and failure to fall into the spirit
of discipline demanded by the
Petain government went out over
the official radio to certain big
cities in the unoccupied zone" to-
day.
The complaints were that there
was too much "eXuberance" and
that private festivities were permit

BY BURTON HAWKINS,
Star STAFF Correspondent,

CLEVELAND, June 17.-There
was rest for the weary here today
as the bedraggled Nationals checked
their prospering losing streak of
four games at least until tomorrow
night, at which time they may re-
sumo retreat maneuvers.
The Mats avoided another loss
through the simple medium of not
playing. Having served as fodder
to kindle pennant flare in Detroit,
Washington will remain idle until
its initial night game of the cam
paign.
Meanwhile, as the Mats amused
themselves in assorted fashions,
there was no inclination to vision
the future through rosy spectacles.
There is increasing wonder. in fact,
if the club will be able to avoid
finishing in the cellar for the first
time since 1909.
West, Myer No Aid.
With all respect to their COM
bined commendable effort and over
flowing reservoir of courage, those
again stars of another era, Out
fielder Sammy West and Second
Baseman Buddy Myer, haven t
solved any of the Mats problems.
Although both have flelded cred-
itably, Sammy and Buddy haven't
been hitting since Manager Bucky
Harris deemed it advisable to install
them as regulars. Since the mild
shakeup inserted them in the line
up Sammy has batted at mild 231
pace and Buddy has hit at a less
astounding OIL clip.
Over the same stretch Shortstop
Cecil Travis has represented sorry
specimen at the plate. Cecil has
collected only two hits in his last 81
efforts, while Outfielder George
Case has hit at conservative .234
pace in his last dozen games.
While the hitting has been feeble
the pitching and fielding have been
even more distressing. Against the
Tigers, Washington pitchers aver
aged yield of more than IA hits
game and the fielding seemed
transplanted from, an insect game
at Fairlawn Field.
Pitching Ineffective.
The Mats, in fact, collapsed COM
pletely at Detroit in dropping four
straight decisions. While the Tigers
embarrassed what is referred to as
Washington's pitching staff, the Mats
were accumulating an average OF
little more than five hits a game
In those games Washington manu-
tactured only runs, seven of
which were produced yesterday as
the Mats absorbed another lacing
81.
Washington experienced tingling
sensation at one point in the pro-
ceedings when they tied the score
at 6-6 in the eighth inning, but
Relief Pitcher Ken Chase imme-
diately pitched the Tigers the win
ming runs in Detroit's half of the
inning.
Chase, replacing Willis Hudlin
who was smeared for a dozen hits

There certainly was no JOY in Mud
vile when mighty Casey struck out,
but Mudville was a gay carnival town
In comparison with the gloom that
befogged New York after the double
shellackings the Yankees, Giants
and Dodgers took in Sundays tussles.
Historians could recall no time
when all the three, either favored
or even money choices, went into a
set of double bills and came out
empty-handed.
Most amazing Of the days doings
was the way the lowly Browns turned
on the world champion Yankees and
beat them, 1916 and 6-5. After being
walloped seven straight times this
season by the Bronx belters, the
Browns were hardly considered good
cannon fodder.
Yet, paced by Pitcher Vernon
Kennedy's home run, they out
slugged the champs in the first game
and then punched their way
courageously out of hole to win the
second game in the late innings.
Wyatt's Fate Saddest.
Saddest case of the day was the
fate of Brooklyn's Whitlow Wyatt.
He twirled his best game of the
season-a o-hitter-but had to
accept a 10 defeat when one of the
two hits turned out to be a home run
from the bat of Cincinnatis Linus
Frey. Paul Derringer pitched a six
hitter for the Reds. In the second
game the Reds hoped on Curt
Davis, debuting as a Dodger, in the
early innings and the befuddled
Brooks never caught up against Jim
Turner's eight-hit pitching, going
down. So.
The Giants, as chesty as pigeon
over their eight-game-Wi winning
streak, were talking about charging
the Pirates admission to get into
the Polo Grounds. However, Max
Butcher pitched two-hitter at them
and Truett Sewell followed with a
creditable performance and the
gluttonous Giants went down help
lessly, SO and 5-3.
Otherwise, in the National League

To Draw Cate
Of 100000

Completing Training
For Thursday Bout
BY GAYLE TALBOT.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, June 17.-Joe Louis,
the heavyweight champ, and Arturo
Godoy, his Latin American chal-
lenger, will complete preparations
today and tomorrow for their return
15-round bout in Yankee Stadium on
Thursday night.
In recent weeks, while the world
was shaken, the pair have been of
in the woods training hard. Despite
the comparative secrecy of their OPP
erations, Promoter Mike Jacobs still
believes the fight will draw 5000, 900.
Ringside seats cost $3.50 per copy.
Art to Retain Crouch.
Godoy, rugged number from
Chile, lasted the full IS with Louis
in their first meeting four months
ago, but 1t was pretty bad entertain
ment. Since then Louis has knocked
out Johnny Paychek with a few
clean swats, while Codoy has picked
up considerable easy money around
the country on the strength of his
achievement.
The burning question seems to be
whether Godoy has Strengthened up
from the super-crouch that caused
the champion so much mental
anguish in their first tangle. The
fans have been led, subtly, to be-
lieve that Arturo will draw himself
erect this time and punch it out
with the big Negro.
Arturo probably won't do any such
thing. Nobody has accused the
Chilean of being a mental colossus,
but he undoubtedly knows. better
than that. Or he's been told by his
manager, Al WE'LL.
Art Not Afraid, Anyhow.
Arturo would need only to look
over Louis past record to lose any
vagrant thought of getting gay with
the champion. Schmeling could tell
hlm. and Bob Pastor. The latter
would have come close to getting a
decision over Louis in their second
bout at Detroit if he had stuck to
his hit-and-duck tactics right
through the late rounds.
Godoy has impressed visitors tn
his camp with his rugged vitality.
He has both that and a total lack
OF fear of Louis, so he must have
some sort OF chance Of winning the
title. After all, Louis is bound to
lose his championship one of these
days.

agreement by Chief Oscar Witt to
play ball put the tribe back on the

Witt said IT am pleased" of course,
at the decision reached by the play
ers. We will 60 along and do the
best we can. All I ever wanted to
do was win ball games. I have no
animosity toward any of the team"
Proceedings at the players meet
ing were kept secret. Bradley at
tended but Witt did not. Twelve
team members had formally pro-
tested against Wits outspoken
criticisms and charged the resultant
jitters were spelling the Indians
chances of winning the pennant.
Twenty-one players signed the
statement which said:
I'VE the undersigned publicly de-
clare to withdraw all statements
referring to the resignation of
Oscar Witt We feel this action is
for the betterment of the Cleveland
baseball club"
Decision Almost Unanimous.
Players indicated there was almost
unanimous agreement on the action
to wipe the slate clean and start
over again with everybody friends"
The only players not signing the
statement were Outfielder jeff Heath
and Catcher Hank Helf, both in the
hospital; Infielder Oscar Grimes,
recovering from injuries, and Out
fielder Roy Weatherly who walked
out of the meeting. Weatherly was
not one Of the original protestants.
