Joins Staff of c. |. O.. Group
Leader in Fight on
Pay Cuts to Aid in
U.F. A. Organizing

John Arthur Shaw, who in 1929
served as the first elected president
Of the American Federation of Gov
eminent Employees, an American
Federation of Labor afiiiate, yester-
day Joined the organizing staff Of
the United Federal Workers OF
America, G. I. o. afiliate.
MIR. Shaw helped organize the
American Federation Of Govern

the National Federation Of Federal
Employees, when the latter organiza-
ton became an independent group.
He Joined a group which wanted 1t
to reafhliate with the A. F. Of l..
While president OF the A. F. G. E.,
Mr.. Shaw led the fight against pay
cuts for Federal employees and
against the so-called marriage

Roosevelt Reported
Delaying transfer
OF Forest Service
Threot Of FoctionuI
Fight in Congress
Believed Reason

President Roosevelt was reliably
reported today to have decided to
withhold indefinitely q Government
reorganization order transferring
the Forest Service from the Agricul-
ture Department to the Interior De-
partment.
Congressional leaders who made
this statement said they understood
the President had been informed
that submission Of such an order to
Congress probably would stir UP
bitter factional fight among the
Democrats.
Decision Held Up.
They made it clear, however, that
a final decision might be influenced
by developments. This was borne
out when the President told re-
porters yesterday that he would not
submit any reorganization order be-
fore March Is.
At his press conference yesterday,
Mr.. Roosevelt said he was optimis-
tic at prospects OF having funds
for the National Resources Plan
ming Board restored in conference
to the independent Offices appro-
priation bill. The money was strick-
en- out in the House, but returned
in the Senate.
Lewis Reply Admitted.
Mr.. Roosevelt also admitted at
his press conference that a letter
OF formal reply from John l.. Lewis.
president Of the c. I. O., concern
ing labor's peace negotiations had
been received at the White House
last October, but that its removal
from the files was responsible for
his declaration last Friday that
there had been no answer. .
Mr.. Lewis wrote in response to the
Presidents peace plea to the G. I. O.,
saying he felt further negotiations
last fall would not be fruitful. On
Friday. in discussing labor peace, Mr..
Roosevelt said he had received no
formal reply from Mr.. Lewis, but
yesterday he said 1t had been bor-
roWed by the Labor Department and
had been missing from White House
files during last weeks discussion.

For Knockout Punch
In April Elections
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 1l.-Boss
Tom Pendergast's once unbeatable
political machine, routed after Il
years from the City Hall by a special
charter amendment election, re-
treated today as Reformists schemed
to smash over a knockout punch in
the April balloting for new office
holders.
How completely whipped the ma
chine was in losing the eight-mem-
Der council and Mayor no one knew
exactly since the Pendergast forces
took their licking yesterday lying
down.
Except for some mild support for
a flremen's civil service amendment,
rejected 2 to ! by the voters, Boss
Toms men refused to stake their
political prestige on the special
election. Yet the voters exceeded
all predictions by casting 10000
VOIeS OUT OF a total registration OF
1872, 900.
Four other proposals drafted by
a Pendergast councilman were
trounced 5 to l..
Republicans, independent Demo-
Gratis, businessmen, property own
ers and civic-minded women banned
together to whip the machine.
The approved amendment ends
the terms of all elective officials
April II, cutting them from four
to two years.
Pendergast was unable to figure
in the drive. He is in Leaven-
worth Penitentiary with several of
his key ueutenants, serving time for
Federal income tax evasion. Many

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Perhaps you have heard that a
salmon dies after the spawning sea-
son. That statement is not entirely
true.
Salmon which lay eggs in rivers
flowing into the North Pacific al
most always die before getting back
to salt water. This has been widely
observed in rivers of Alaska, British
Columbia and the States of Wash
tngton and Oregon.
Salmon of rivers which flow into
the Atlantic Ocean do not have this
"custom." They return to salt wa
ter very much alive and stay there
a year or two before making another
spawning trip up river. An At
lantic salmon may spawn three or
four times before it dies.
The weight of an adult salmon
seems to average from IL to 18
pounds. Some salmon, however,
reach weights of 40 to 80 pounds.
The extra large ones may be from
10 to 20 years of age.
The age of a salmon can be
learned from its scales. On the
scales are rings which tell the story
In much the same way trees age
is told. There is a difference be-
tween the rings formed when the
salmon is in fresh water and when
It Is in salt water.
Salmon are found in many rivers

Contraction OF "dre not"
From New Haven: "Since 'aint'
is in the dictionary, why not tell
your readers that it is correct to
use the word?" B. A. S.
Answer-That "ain't" may be
found in some dictionaries is no
indication that, it is held to be
correct. On the contrary, the die
tionaries, without exception, stig-
Matte "ain't" as vulgar, dialectal,
illiterate.
At one time "aint" was con-
sidered elegant usage by English
speaking peoples. Other forms were
ant and ant" No authority
today, however, gives sanction to
"aint, hain't, ant" or "a'nt."
This column must caution all its
readers against the use Of "aint"

West opened the queen of hearts,
dummy winning with the king. The
nine of spades was returned for
fnesse, and West took the king and
looked disconsolately at the dummy.
1t was quite clear that there were
no further defensive tricks in the
major suits. That meant that the
contract would be fulfilled unless
three defensive tricks in the minor
suits could be won. Apparently West
could count only on the king of
clubs, so had to depend on his part
ner to produce two tricks.
East might hold the king of dia-
monds, but that wouldn't be enough.
The only chance was that East
held the club ace-for then West
could contribute another defensive
trick.
On this reasoning, therefore. West
boldly led the king of clubs. A
club continuation went to East's
ace, and a club return allowed West
to ruff and thus take the setting
trick.
If West had not seized this one
chance to defeat the contract, South
would have drawn trumps and given
up two clubs to make his contract
with ease.
