Although the exact language re-
mains to be drafted, the Senate
committee decided yesterday to take
these definite steps on re-employ-
ment:
l. To extend to Federal employees
sent to training camp under this bill
the same privilege already allowed
Government workers in the Ma
tional Guard or Officers Reserve
Corps, to take extended leave of alb
sence from their jobs.
2. To declare in the bill that fall
ure Of private industry engaged
in interstate commerce to reinstate
an employe at the end of his mill
tary training period shall be deemed
an unfair labor practice.
This provision would replace a
tentative draft which merely ex-
pressed the intent of Congress that
private employers should take back
men who have completed satisfac-
torily their period of military train
ing, unless the status of the en-
ployer had changed sufficiently to
make Unemployment impossible.

tinued to work on the bill, rumblings
of opposition continued to be heard
on the floor of the Senate, where
Senator Wheeler of Montana warned
fellow Democrats that if they vote
for it they will be driving a nail in

the question was not presented to
the Democratic convention and ex-
pressed belief it would have been
rejected If presented

Senator Wheeler asserted the bill
was part of "hysteria" to send the
country down the road to war"
When Senator Reynolds, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina said 1t was

fense without providing troops to
man the weapons, Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican. of Michigan re-
torted that the Army could get a
million volunteers If enlistments
were cut down from three years to
one-a contention previously dis
puted by the high command.
The Army, which will have the
huge training task dropped in its
lap abrouptly if the bill is enacted,
went ahead with its plans. The high
command recreated General Head
quarters, the arm which directed
World War field operations, to as
sumo exclusive responsibility for
training problems.

M SCHOOL RUNS0vER
 ALUM FIVE
Guardsmen Defeat School Reserves-Cage Season
 Is Off 10 Good Start

Inauguration of the 1940- 1941 basketball season was brilliantly made in the Juneau High School gymnasium last night, when the Crimson Bear casaba tossers dumped the Alumni Five, 46 to 26 and the Juneau National Guard quintet defeated the high school Reserves easily, Al to IA, before an enthusiastic crowd
 The Alumni-High School contest was the game of the evening, and the teams put up a stiff battle from the opening gun on through to the last quarter when the Alumni bas- keteers wilted under the terrific pace set by the school lads, and were lost in furry of baskets and increasing speed.
 McDaniel High Pointer
 Although the high school quin- tet took the game by several points, they had no set-up, for the first three quarters of the game they had all they could handle until that fateful third quarter when the Aluns slowed down to a snails pace
 The first quarter ended ' to l favoring the high lads. In this quarter McDaniels for the high school made six of the seven points, in fact he stole the show with 2l points for the evening, as high point man on the local court open ing. He counted two points in the second quarter, two points in the third, and in that last and fatal period he massed up a total of Il points, which then and there washed away any hopes the Alum mi basket tossers had in mind.
 Murphy Second Up
 Murphy came next to McDaniels with 13 points, also making seven of those in that fourth quarter. It might be said that both these men had an enjoyable evening pottins short and long shots at will.

The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-11-16

For the Alumni Tommy Powers highlight on the Crimson Beal squad last season, was high witt eleven points.
 The half ended 16 to 8 in the Crimson Bears favor. Then at ths [ beginning of the third quarter the Alums opened the fireworks anc with Powers and Krugness connect ing for beautiful shots, they made the score stand at the end of that period at 28 to 20, probably as close as they reached the high lads at any time during the game At this period of the battle it looked even as though the Alumni outfit might make it mighty tough for the fighting Bears.
 Many Fouls Called
 That fatal fourth quarter spilled the works though, and the high school boys certainly put on the heat, and the Alumni wilted under it.
 A total of 27 fouls were called by Referee George Wiley during the game. Eleven of them on the Alumni and 16 on the high school. Rice and Miller of the high school and Brown of the Alumni were called out of the game in the fourth quarter on personal fouls. Of the free throws, the high school converted eight while the Alumni boys connected with the steel ring for four points.
 Guardsmen Win
 A new team in Juneau this sea- son, managed by Lieutenant Red ling, and known as the Juneau Ma tional Guard quintet, trotted on| the maple court in the preliminary contest for the evening, and easily took the measure of fighting high school second squad, fl to IA.
 The outcome of this opening con- test for the evenings entertain ment was probably never in doubt, although the high school Reserves were playing a team that was too for them, but they kept up the old fight until the final gun.
 In this contest Eddie Lawson of the Guards, led the field with a 1 total of IT points. Joe Bird came second with 12, and between these two men the high school Reserves were beaten.
 For the opening gun of the l940- il season, it could be considered 3 very successful evening Further as to the regular city league games will be made next week.
