InterschoIastic Cage Tourney Tits Tonight

OF the thirty;two Lower PENN
sula teams seeking titles in four
divisions in the Michigan interscho-
lastic basketball tournament, two
will be going into action tonight in
Ypsilanti Ann Arbor Highs power
full quintet will tangle with Lincoln
Park in a Glass A quarter-final
meeting in the Ypsilanti High
School gymnasium at7:30. The two
are among eight teams still in Class
A competition with the results OF
tonights battle deciding which will
be one of the four still seeing ac-
ton in semi-final play Friday eve
ming in East Lansing, the game
ought to provide more than enough
excitement for even the most rabid
cage fan.
The Ann Arbor five, which ended
the regular season with a record of
six games won out of eight played,
was co-holder this year of the Five
a League title with Jackson High
School, and they were forced to dis
pose of the same Jackson in the
Regional tourney just completed.
This contest proved TO be one for
the record books as the Pioneers
won a tie game. In keeping with
the rules the team having the larg-
est number of field goals at the end
OF the overtime period in a tie
game Is awarded five points, the
one having the best percentage of
foul shots made receives four, while
the one committing the fewer per-
sonal fouls is awarded three points
and the team having the largest
total at the conclusion OF the game
is the .official winner.
The Ann Arbor-Jackson game
saw the near-impossible almost
happen as both teams were dead
locked in the free throw and field
goal departments aud the contest
was awarded the Pioneers because
they had committed one less per
sonal foul. In order to even tie the
game the Ann Arbor lads had to
score ten points while holding Jack
son to three all in the final four
minutes of the fourth quarter, and
a team with spirit like that plus
its unquestioned ability ought to
prove a worthy opponent for any
team in the state.

labor will manifest a helpful desire
to bring about a working arrange
ment, to the end that our production
may not be curtailed. Labor must
also assist in the expulsion from its
ranks of subversive elements.
eff these self-constituted labor
spokesman are not American citizens
they should be sent back to the coun-
try whose cause they espouse. In
this period of "all-out" defense pre-
paredness, the control of American
labor should not be allowed to rest
in the hands of foreigners, whose al
legiance is to another government
than our own. On the other hand
if these agitators happen to be OF
American citizenhip, although disloy-
al to our Country, a way must be
found to curb their efforts and to
punish their reasonable activities.
"While Americas Democratic insti.
tutions endure" the Governor declar.
ed, "hope will live on among the
down-trodden nations of the earth
While the beacon Of American liberty
still blazes in the sky, the eyes of all
the conquered people Of the world will
catch it's CLEAN and take new heart
"There is not sufficient room ir
all this wide universe for two concep.
tions of Government so completely
adverse as Democracy and totalitar.

Governor Urges
Avoidance Of
Labor Disputes

"The united effort of our people,
declared Governor Herbert R. O'Con-
or this week in a Commencement Ad-
dress at Georgetown University, "will
be required to insure making Ameri-
ca impregnable against any attack
made upon it."
Former Governor Alfred E. Smith,
of New York, and Senator Joseph o.
Nahony, of Wyoming, were among
the distinguished guests.
"This consideration" the Governor
continued, "compels reference to lab
or disputes, with the aftermath of
stoppages of work, resulting in the
loss of man hours in production. The
present emergency demands that pro-
duction not be impeded by unneces-
sary strikes. Labor as a whole will
respond to the nations call, I am
confident, because the rank and file
of organized labor must realize that
the security of the country is at
stake. But recent occurrences may
indicate that so called leaders" of
labor are adopting methods which are
calculated to impede production. Such
interference must not be countenanc-
ed.
Furthermore, if radicals who have
covertly slipped into the ranks of
labor are melting such moves for sub
versive purposes, they must be ex-
posed and their efforts defeated. AL
though these individuals, who are un-
American and disloyal to the core,
have not the interest of labor at
heart, they can seize the present OPP
portunity to exploit labor by con-
tending for concessions, which may
look rosy to the working man. But
analysis will show that ultimately the
efforts of these subversive leaders
are inimical to the cause of labor.
"The whole purpose Of the nation
wide effort today is to perpetuate the
very Democratic institutions, under
which labor has been given such wide
spread recognition. This Democratic
form of Government will continue to
accord labor its just rights. On the
other hand, unless our Democratic
institutions are perpetuated, labor
will be the greatest sufferer by be-
ing reduced to the lowly position oc-
cupied by toilers in the totalitarian
states.
"No more important question is be-
fore the American public today than
that which concerns the avoidance
of strikes and stoppage of work. A
solution has to be found, and it is
to be expected that the patriotic and
sincere representatives of American
