U.S.. to Begin Building
Bases i'm Atlantic Soon

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. CUP)-
The navy was expected today t
begin actual construction soon of a
chain of Atlantic air and naval
bases on sites recently acquired
from Great Britain.
Locations of the bases on British
possessions stretching from New
foundland to the northern tip of
South America have been selected;
preliminary surveys have been vir-
tuaily completed
The start will be made with some
$500 100000 in defense blank

President Roosevelt during the past
summer. Soon after the new con-
gress convenes in January it will
be asked to appropriate funds to
complete the outer defenses. That
procedure was announced by Chair
man Carl o. Vinson of the house
naval affairs committee shortly af-
ter Present Roosevelt's deal that
sent so overage destroyerS to Brit
ain was revealed. The United States
received the right to lease the base
sites on a 99-year baSt

of the commission for series of
conservation and development pro-

Despite the governors indication
OF approving increased expenditures
for the commission. Director of
Finance George Killion said the

Labor Peace Hope Dim
As AFL. GO ParIeys
Insist on Own Claims
Roosevelt Plea
For Unity Due at
New Orleans Meet
BY ARTHUR F. DEGREVE

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 10.
(UP)-A new appeal from
President Roosevelt for la
Dor unity was expected to-
day by delegates to the annual con-
vention of the American Federation
of Labor.
The plea will be referred to the
executive council for consideration.
Leaders said privately that pros
poets of labor peace soon are not
bright.
This was evident at the opening
day of the convention yesterday
when President William Green said
that the AFL would consider no
truce in which the juriSdictional
rights of its unions were sacrificed
With few exceptions. those who
guide AFL policy are confident they
have the CIO on the run. They re-
gard the imminent retirement of
John l.. Lewis indicative that clash
es between CIO right and left wings
ultimately would destroy it.
The federation was revising its
per capita tax structure to finance
the continuation of the battle. Its
executive council called for in
creased organization activities on
all fronts.
David Dubinsky. head of the in
ternational Ladies Garment Workers
union, refused to confirm or deny
reports that he would lead a floor
fight for action on his unions de-
mand for the dismissal of racket
GERS and exploiters" from the fed
Grafton. He had introduced a reso-
luton that would empower the eX-
ecutive council to act if information
al unions did not clean house VOL
unfairly. Dubinsky said he would
wait to see in what form the reso-
luton emerges from committee, be-
fore deciding his next move.
Delegates today heard a warning
from Arthur j. Altmeyer, chairman
OF the Social Security board, that
agitation already has begun in some
quarters for. relaxation of govern
ment labor standards and a sacri-
flee of social services in the name
of the national defense emergency
Those who make these demands
are not enemies from without but
voices from within-some selfish
some sincerely afraid that we can
not maintain our peace time stand
ards if we prepare for armed de-
Tense" he said.
He proposed revising the security
law to blanket millions of agricul-
tural and domestic workers; protect
the Social Security standing OF
men who leave jobs to go into mill
tary service; include employees OF
non-profit institutions as eligible
for security and unemployment
benefits; provide health and dis
ability insurance.

LlOn OF mass prOOuctlOn INDUSTRIES
is accepted, and all CIO unions are
chartered in a new united labor
movement, which would include
AFI. CIO, and Independent Rail-
oad Brotherhoods.
Denouncing as utter falsehoods"
AFL charges that CIO President
John Lewis alone had blocked labor
unity, the report recommended con-
tinuance of a CIO peace negotiat-
ing committee consisting of Lewis
and CIO Vice Presidents Philip
Murray and Sidney Hillman. 1t was
considered unlikely that Hillman
would serve because of his federal
post as labor defense commissioner.
Unity in the labor movement
can be accomplished only if the
economic and legislative activity OF
labor cotinues along the progressive
and vigorous paths bazed by the
CIO." the report said
1T must protect and include all
the organizations in the CIO. The
millions of newly-organized work
ers are the pride of the CIO and
the proof of the effectiveness of
the principles of the CIO. Not one
must be abandoned to the cavillings
of jurisdictional claims of craft
unions and the prevalent racket
eering within the AFL. In short,
every affiliated organization of the
CIO must be chartered and includ-
ed in any new United Labor body
that may develop.
ANY program for unity should
involve joint convention of all
labor organizations, including those
of the AFL, the Railroad Brother
hoods and the CIO, with existing
jurisdictional differences to be ad-
justed in such a convention"

Gov. Culbert Olson today urged
creation of a federal agency SINH

Olson, who returned to his Of

out that there have been frequent
disputes between the various states
over use of the rivers waters. Some

pastime any longer for the simple
reason that nobody is playing the
game.
If there are better in the bushes
and it can't be any other way-Mr.
G. had better stop kidding himself,
hire a scout who will bring them
in and give a break to a team
which can hit a little bit on occa-
sions, steal bases whenever it gets
half a chance and hustle when
there is something for which to
hustle.
Griffith has all but decided to
return AL Hollingsworth to Brook
lyn, which loaned him on 80 days
trial. This is taking it out on the
wrong fellow. Not much was ex-
pected of AL by Griffith and Harris,
and at that Holly has pitched
better ball than at least two who
apparently are in good standing
yet. But obviously, If the Mats are
going anywhere, more than one
change will have to be made.
Two Leads Lost in Defeat.
What can I do?" is Harris come
back. 1--WE have to carry a certain
amount of pitchers, no matter how
bad they are. After all, the club
has to have batting practice. AS
it is the pitchers we've got are so
wild that on the road, while we
only have Is or 20 minutes to hit,
we only have one round of hitting"
This is logical enough, but the
trouble is that occasionally Bucky's
batting practice pitchers have to
be thrown into real ball game to
give the enemy hitting practice.
Anyway, the Mats, with a 81
lead and a rs margin, blew. a
10-to-7 decision to the Tigers yes
terday. Hollingsworth, who started,
was bad. Alex Carrasquel was
worse. There is some excuse for
young Walter Masterson. Worst of
all yesterday was Joe Krakauskas.
Among them they gave Is bases on
balls. Carrasquel, entering the
game with the bases loaded, one
down and the Mats leading, rs,
promptly uncorked wild pitch and
then walked the other two hitters
he faced.
Krakky, taking over in the
eighth with the score tied at TT,
was charged with the loss when
in that inning he walked four hit
ters and pitched a single with the
bases loaded.

Temple at Central Stadium while
Maryland will run against Virginia
as part of gigantic field day pro-
gram at College Park and some out
standing exhibitions are expected in
both meets.
AL Blozis. naturally, will be the
cynosure of all eyes at Central. But
Blozis will not be shooting for a
world record in the shotput. All
Coach Hap" Hardell wants him to
do is win the put, and win, if he
can, the high jump and discus throw.
Temple, better balanced than
Georgetown, will be distinct
favorite.
Maryland's hot quartet of runners,
Jimmy Kehoe, Tommy Fields, AL
Miller and Mason Chronister, will
be augmented by the addition of
Joe Murphy for the Virginia meet,
but the Terps expect to have their
hands full. The Cavaliers have a
powerful team led by Frank Fuller,
crack hurdler, and when the points
are tabulated there should be only
slight difference between the two.

Godoy Declares He'll

Confidence Convincing,
Chilean Mum on How

N the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 2.-The big. broad
shouldered fellow tells you there will
be . new heavyweight champion OF
the world seven weeks from today.
His name is Arturo Godoy and he
says the new titleholder will be
himself. Godoy tells you this with
such simplicity and childlike faith
that he almost has you believing it.
There apparently is little If any
doubt In his mind that he will de-
throne Joe Louis when they meet
again June 20 in New York. But
how? That is another matter and
one which Godoy admittedly cam
not discuss.
The 215-pound Chilean says only
al WE'LL, his verbose manager, can
answer this question.
Godoy has picked up Is pounds
since his last fight with Louis while
making q vaudeville tour with his
comely wife. But he says he can
slice OF those pounds in no time at
Ill when he starts training.

posed to be pitchers. Charley"

Idle thought: Would the Wash
ington hurlers, handing out bases
on balls at a rate of seven per
game, be so willing to give 'em If
they were fined, say, 81 for every
walk? Over q season the money
would run into the millions, of
course, and at the end Clark
Grimth and Harris could reward,
with bonuses, the pitchers with

It's Dutch Leonard's turn to
pitch but in the Detroit finale TO-
day the Washington thrower was
to be Sid Hudson, the class D
graduate. The reason?
1--WE got to find another starter
somewhere, Manager Bucky
Harris says, indicating that Joe
Krakauskas no longer is starter.
The popular impression is that
Hudson was a starter all along
but things must have happened.
He must have been denoted,
quietly, and now promoted. In
the meantime q lot of people
are under the impression that
Harris could do worse than start
young Walter Masterson.
After that 15-bases- -on- balls
affair yesterday Charley Gelbert,
the utility infielder, is more de-
termined than ever to switch to
Evening star., 1940-05-02

1t must be comforting to the wife
and kiddies of our Mr.. Stanley Ray
mond Harris to know that every
fourth afternoon, mincing out of the
Washington dugout, will be Emil
Dutch Leonard. This is as good a
guarantee as any that Harris won t
be found hanging from clubhouse
rafter with a belt around his neck
and, on his chest, pinned note:
Bases on balls did this to me. I
want out"
Well, maybe it isn't quite that bad
but, just the same, it's pretty brutal.
Bucky is managing a Washington
ball club which awoke from a daze
after the first four games and be-
gan to hit and hustle and win. But
it can't remain winning club. Not
as long as the pitching staff remains
as is.
Dutch Is Solid Horse.
In the wake of that delightful lit
tie exhibition staged yesterday by
four scatterarms who gave the
Tigers, in addition to 10 hits, total
of Is bases on balls and a wild
pitch, the Mats have something to
think about. Every time Leonard
pitches they know they stand a rea-
sonable chance of winning. But
every other day it's every man for
himself.
Here's how bad this Washington
staff Neonard always is excused
when the conversation gets this way)
has been: In nine games-the ones
in which Leonard hasn't appeared
our Society of Spawned Scatter
arms has given So bases on balls, hit
three batsmen and delivered half q
dozen wild pitches.
Simple arithmetic makes this an
average of seven bases on balls per
game, plus the enemy hits, occa-
sional defensive errors, wild pitches,
etc. Not so simple is it to figure how
the Nationals, behind a staff like
this one, can show 500 record for
IL games.
There Must Be Better.
Not so long ago a column poured
it into the Washington club for in
eptness and for trying to get along
with a flock of Johnnies who don't
belong in the Pullman circuit and
Mr.. Old Fox Griffith still Is pouting.
But if there aren't better pitchers
than some of Griff's in the bushes
then baseball isn't the national
