CLEVELAND, Sept THE skid
ding Cleveland. Indians lost their
sixth straight game today and all
but one-plus percentage points OF
their rapidly fading American
League lead. The Chicago White
Sox, who had dropped Is of 10
previous contests with the Indians,
squeezed out 5-to-4 victory.
AS q result, the Indians and the
Detroit Tigers are tied in games

is ahead on percentage, .5725 to STA,
through the difference in total
games played. The New York Yam
KEGS are only a game behind. Both
the Tigers and Yanks won one-run
decisions today.
Harder Has Bad Inning.
Mel Harder, veteran Cleveland
right-hander, was the victim of one
bad inning today, which kept the
Indians in their slump. With the
game tied at run apiece, the first
four White Sox up in the fourth
inning singled. Before Relief Pitch
er Harry Eisenstat could retire the
side Chicago had ST. lead and the
ball game.
The Indians came back with a
run in their half on JEFF Heath's
homer and scored two more in the
seventh when Bill Dietrich, Chicago
starter, ran into a streak OF Wild
ness.
With one out, Ray Mack singled
and Rollie Hemsley and Sammy
Hale, who batted for Eisenstat,
walked. That brought In Clint
Brown, the Sox's ace game saver,
who made more than so relief ap-
pearances last year.
Lou Boudreau doubled sharply to
left field, scoring Mack and Hemsley
and leaving runners on second and
third with one out.
Outfielder Clarence Campbell was
Intentionally walked, but Ben Chap
man took a third strike and Beau
Bell grounded out. That was the
Tribes last real chance.
Chicago's big, winning fourth in
ming came about on successive sin
giles by Luke Appling, Taft Wright,
Mike fresh and Bob Kennedy,
bringing three men home. Dietrich
forced out, but after Webb was given
first base on catcher's interference,
Kreevich grounded to Harder and
Kennedy scored rs Harder threw

MAMARONECK. N. Y, Sept. T.

From the way they have and
haven't been scoring, it seems un-
likely any qualifying round records
will be broken, particularly if the
wind keeps up. The fairways are
playing long and the green's are
rather hard, making it difficult to
stop ball, so that the record 36-hole
1873 posted at North Shore year
ago by Tommy Sheehan of North
vile, Mich, will be hard to top.
Sheehan played with Ward, Art
Doering of Chicago and Fred Haas
of New Orleans. in one of today's
standout practice foursomes. But
the only man who drew any people
away from the clubhouse was Bing
Crosby.
The crooner found about rs peo-

were in the golf shot he hit.

Truman, backing up the plate on

of the national committee of the
American Civil Liberties Union will
be asked to register approval or dis
approval Of the action taken by the
unions board of directors in voting
to terminate the membership on the
board of Elizabeth Gurley Flynn
Communist leader.
Charges brought by three board
members, concerning the impropriety
of Miss Flynn's continued member
ship on the board, involved:
l. Miss Flynn's membership in the
Communist party in the light of a
resolution adopted at the unions an
nual meeting on February holding
that it is inappropriate for any per-
son to serve on the governing COM
mittee of the union or on it's staff, who
is member of any political organiza-
tion which supports totalitarian die
tatorship in any country" specifying
the Communist party among others.
Miss Flynn's membership in the Com
munist party was admitted.
2. Articles in the Communist pub
lications, New Masses and Daily
Worker, highly critical of the unions
personnel and policies.
After lengthy hearing, ma
jority of the board sustained the
charges and voted to remove Miss
Flynn from the board subject to ap-
proval of the national committee.

NO BACKWARD STEPS!

Organized labor, President Roose.
velt and other organizations and indi.
viduals have given a smashing set.
back to the movement for breaking
down of labor standards on the excuse
that the defense program emergency
call for such action.
President William Green and the
Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor led off with the
outright declaration that there is no
sound reason for cutting wages,
lengthening hours or otherwise break
ing down standards. President Roose-
welt backed labor in his "freside chat
with words that left advocates of re-
peal of labor laws without leg to
stand on. He said:
"There is nothing in our present
emergency to justify making the
workers of our nation toll for longer
hours than those now limited by
statute. As more orders come in and
more work has to be done, tens of
thousands of people who are now un-
employed will, believe, receive en-
ployment.
"There is nothing in our present
emergency to justify a lowering of the
standards of employment. Minimum
wages should not be reduced. 1t is my
hope, indeed, that the new speed-up
of production will cause many bust
nesses which now pay below the min
imum standards to bring their wages
up"
AS a result of the plain speaking
of labor and the President, the move
ment for the smashing of labor and
wage standards has lost whatever
force it ever had and now seems
doomed to an early end.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

and their confidence to Sir Walter Ci-
trine and the other plaintiffs, and the
removal of persons with views like
theirs from the control of organized
labor. In the courts opinion the libels
were the elimination of persistent
attempt to oust the plaintiffs from
their positions and to undermine the
confidence and respepct which they en-
joyed among their constituents.
Had he no other way of expressing
his view of the libel and of the man
who was responsible, the justice said
he would have awarded a very large
sum of money indeed. But he could
express his views in terms much
clearer than was possible in money.
The Justice declared that the libels
were inspired from abroad and were
unscrupulous in their methods.
Brought to the bar of justice the de-
fendant had not had the courage to
go to the witness box and tell the
court, Justice Stable said. He added
that the libels were nothing but an
unscrupulous attack on the character
and probity of the plaintiffs.
Let it not be thought, that because
the damages awarded were small, the
plaintiffs were anything other than
persons of the highest possible integ-
rity and sense of duty" he commented.
Justice Stable made it clear that he
did not want to shut out from the
public press the views of anyone, no
matter how profoundly he might dis
agree with them himself. And he did
not propose to award as damages a
sum which might have the effect of
putting the newspaper out of action.
The decision of the British judge is
of interest in the United States, as it
confirms what has often been pointed
out here: that Communists and Com
munist organs are not independent but
merely mouthpieces of the Moscow
tyranny, slavishly echoing what Mos
demonstrations of this, it is strange
that Communist organs can still be
regarded as anything but puppets of
Stain and his Red gang.
