ALL OFFICERS { FAIL TO SHOW
 FOR DISCUSSION
Arrests Have Been Made; Nothing to Do Until
 I04z Assembly

New Haven, oct. ib-Bowiing ale ley operators throughout the state are up in arms since a meeting of the association which was called last week at the New Haven YMCA be" cause not one of the elected offi- CTS of the association appeared at tn meeting.
 The cail for the meeting was sent out over the signature of Ed. ward Feustel, secretary.
 The meeting was called Co act upon the pinboy question, which has become serious in the south ern section of the state. After waiting for some time, an inc formal meeting was held with ihe L5ard of directors in charge, inc cluding Prank Lurix of Hartford, chairman. Johnny Bianchi cf New Haven. c. Sampson of Bridge port and Claude Conbies of Nor wich.
 No ActiOn
 Chairman Lurix ruled that nothing could be done without at least one officer Of the associa- tioin on hand. IL was reported. how ever, that the state labor depart" ment had made e very close inspec- ton of the various alleys in Lhe state with the result that mary were found to have boys under l6 years Of age working in the pits. In such cases arrests were made with the operators paying court fine During the meeting t was reported that two of the officers were de- taind due to the fact that they were out seeking boys to set up pins in their establishments.
 One operator is reported to have stated that the association .S wasting time in calling these meet ings. The age limit which has been fixed by an act Of the general ST. sembly is beirg enforced by the Etate labor department and nothing can be done until the next sesgio:l Of the General Assembly.
 Must Wait
 It appars that the pinboy ques- ton has TO solution until the fa.l of i942. The officers Of the aSSocia- ton are A. Doolittle of Branford president: J. Crossman, vice-presi' dent: H. Barker, treasurer, and I Feustel, secretary. More than 8 operators attended the meeting wit Prank LuriX and Phil Baubult frob Hartford attending.

Indians all last season and until they bumped into the Beavers ct Corvallis in . good, old-fash- toned oregon mist. There Is no getting away from the fact that the execution of the T designed by Clark Shaughnessy, with the nan-in-motion running all over te place. Is based on speed, timing and dry field.
 oregon State lost il lettermen, but q returned--ll seniors and 10 juniors. A dozen sophonores were picekd as fine performers at the outset, yet not one of them started against Stanford, so you can readily see that the Aggies were not expected to be soft for anyone.
 oregon State has a sturdy line built on the sides of quentin Greenough, an alert center. Bob Dethman and Don Durdan smash, skirt and pass. ole Daly is all fullback. Coach Stiner even has Q place-kicking specialist in the sophomore quarterback, Warren Simas.
 SOUTHPAW PASSER-P -PUNTER IS OREGON'S BIG GUN
 Curtis Mecham, six.foot south- paw passing and kicking star, turned in one of the outstanding performances of this or any other campaign as oregon stampeded Southern California. 20-6. in Los Angeles Coliseum. Mecham fired three touchdown passes and kept the struggling Trojans in difficult ty with Q remarkable display of power and control bunting.
 Oregon closed its l940 season with such a scoring rush that the Webfoots had to be considered a possible dark-horse entry in the current race on the golden slope, This despite the fact that Coach Oliver lost 10 lettermen includ- ing what he termed his starting backfield.
 The trick was that Oliver had a second quartet that was even better
 Oregon this season fields a vet eran team with the exception of the fulback, where Oliver now starts with young man named Dunlap. The key back spot, which is left half, is amply filled by Fob Robin, a hard-driving run ner, who is backed up by Frank Boyd, a fine passer and punter. Duke Iverson and Roy Ell alter nate at quarter.
 Oregon has a line to match.
 The Eugene outfit will stir up trouble for its coast rivals and Texas. which it tackles in Austin, Dec. 6. The Lemon Yellow tackles Santa Clara, too, in Portland, Nov. II.
 Oregon certainly can't be charged with picking it's spots.

originally planned and inaccuracy in
original estimates.
"1naccuracy in original estimates
came about through incomplete en-
gineering data at the time they were
prepared
The construction program
had to be carried on in winter
weather.
There has been criticism of the
selection of contractors for camp
construction. Criticism, I take it, is
inevitable where competition is not
present in the selection. With 4,20C
contractors applying for jobs, only
small number can be successful"
Mr. Patterson testified that six
"checks" had been established on the
letting of contracts without adver-
Using
In the first place, he said, such
contracts were "resorted to only
when necessary"
In lieu of public bidding, he went
on, there was competition by in
formal inquiry" Thirdly, he said,
consideration was given to increaS-
ing productive capacity by develop
ing additional sources of supply.
Then, he continued, there was fur
ther determination that such con-
tracts were necessary to expedite the
program.
Approval of Contracts.
He said negotiated contracts of
$500, 900 or more were made only on
his approval and that similar con-

more than 1000 were British, about
TOO were Dutch, with the remainder
coming from other American repub-
lies, Russia, Portugal and Iran.
Some Exceptions to Plan.
"It Is my understanding, the Sec
retary wrote, that purchasing OPP
erations by all countries in the war
zone will come under the lease-lend
procedure, although in certain in
stances, such as the Dutch East
Indies, the country itself may con-
tinue to buy for cash. The pur-
chasing operations of foreign coun-
tries not included in this lend-lease
area depend basically on questions
of foreign policy rather than upon
questions of production. This is
specifically true in the case of
Russia, and it is also true with re-
Spect to all the American republics.
Because of this situation it is my
recommendation that the Liaison
Committee be disbanded and that
all foreign countries outside the
lend-lease area desiring to purchase
military supplies in this country be
advised to submit their needs to the
Secretary of State"
Hopkins Officially In Picture.
The Secretary suggested that
members of his Office who are ex-
perienced in handling British pur-
chasing operations be instructed to
devote their full energies to assist
ing Mr.. Hopkins. He asked further
that the Secretary of War and the
Secretary of Navy, members of the
Liaison Committee, be advised OF
its disbanding.
Acceding to the suggestion. the
President wrote Mr.. Morgenthau
that:
purchasing operations by all
countries in the lend-lease area will
be supervised by Harry Hopkins and
such operations by all other coun-
tries which must necessarily involve
consideration of foreign policy will
be processed by the Department of
State"
Designation of Mr.. Hopkins to this
role puts him for the first time off,
cially in the picture of administer
ing American aid to belligerent ma
tions. For weeks past, however, he
has been living at the White House
and devoting virtually full time to
directing details of this program.
Not on Pay Roll.
1t was explained at the White
House that even this formal ap-
pointment does not place Mr.. Hop
kins on Government pay roll.
The Federal Reserve Building is
to be the headquarters for Mr.. Hop
kins Lease-Lend Administration.

which has had its Offices in the
Treasury moved to the Federal Re-
serve Building yesterday.

now that a separate leaSe-lend ad-
ministration has been set up.
AS the Chief Executive took the
action making Mr.. Hopkins the ad-
ministrator of the gigantic program
OF aiding nations resisting aggres-
sion, a conference to discuss all
phases of the defense and aid pro-
grams was called at the White
House. Summoned for this consul
tation were Secretary of State Hull,
Secretary Morgenthau, Secretary Of
War Stimson, Secretary of Navy
Knox and Mr.. Hopkins.
Earlier, the President arranged to
discuss the specific question of new
aid to China in meeting with Sec
retary Morgenthau, DR.. T. v. Soong,
financial agent for the Chinese gov
ernment, and DR.. HUI Shih, Chinese
Ambassador.
As the Chinese visitors left the
White House, Dr. Shih told reporters
they had discussed aid to China
under the lease-lend program and
that the President may have an
announcement to make on the mat
ter at his press conference this after
noon.
Asked if the government of Chang
Kai-shek intends to continue its re-
Sistance to the Japanese in the face
of the recently-signed Russo-Jap-
anese treaty, the Ambassador re-
piled without qualification that there
is no question about his country
continuing to fight.
Further Tightening of export con-
troll restrictions was effected by the
President today in issuance of two
proclamations placing additional ar
ticleS and materials under the con.
troll system.
First of these, effective today, ap-
plies to various types of construction
and conveying machinery and cer-
tain mining, well and pumping ma
chinery. The second proclamation,
effective May s, applies to caffein,
casein and certain vegetable fibers.
