AfL Chief Sees
Move for Peace

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. .(UP)-
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor after
conference with President Roose-
welt today he expected that the
chief executives message to the
AFL convention opening in New
Orleans next Monday would urge
new efforts for labor peace.
Green said he thought that there
was "some improvement" in the
labor situation and attributed this
to what he described as a decline
in the influence of CIO President
John L. Lewis among the rank and
file of CIO members. The inter-
national unions themselves have
indicated stronger desire for uni
ty, he added.

Cold Water

Cold Water
BY the time this story hits the
street w. T. Davis, the construc-
ton man, will probably be talking
about the 50-pound fish that got
away instead OF the mere 25 pound
0er that he was discussing earlier
this week.
Fish have habit of growing that
way the more you talk about them.
1t happened over on the Colo
RADIO river when Davis was a-cat-
fishing with Clyde Lee and G. K.
Patton. Because of the atmospheric
disturbances caused by the kind OF
bait Lee and Patton were using
Davis stuck to shrimp until he
noticed that Pat and Clyde were
catching all the fish.
Although the bait was an affront
to Davis clfactory organs. he final
ly designed to use it, but only
on condition Clyde do the batting
Scarcely had the powerful bait hit
the water than there was a strike
and a few minutes later he sang
Asput:
"I've got him!"
Davis danced up and down the
shoreline like an Apache on the
warpath. Then the fish headed
toward a deep hole and settled un-
der log. After few minutes more
of dancing intersperSed with dashes
of language that is swell for cat
fishing but would never do in
church, Davis thought of solution
The trouble was that Pat and
Clyde had thought of it a little
sooner
Someone has to dive down and
get that fish, Davis commanded.
He looked around and Clyde and
Pat had disappeared as quietly as
a feather blows along the ground.
Moth Balls and DecOys-
This is an old gag and we rather
suspected it to begin with. So we're
inclined to sympathize with Bill
Maxwell and lean toward his con-
tention that it's all a bloomin' Ii
ksl.
But rather than suppress it, the
story goes that Bill was out hunt
ing with Raleigh Holt and sneaked
a half mile through The tulles to
open fire upon some hunters de-
coys!
