The Chase Brass and Copper Com pany today delayed action on a fur ther wage increase of two cents an hour, such as announced yesterday by the Scovill Manufacturing Com pany, pending the return of several company executives to the city. Richard D. Ely, vice-president, said that the matter has not been taken up by company heads yet but indi- cated that 1t will be considered within @ few days. Industrial circles believe that the Chase Company will grant the raise, which will bring its recent wage boosts to the same level as those of the Scovill Company and the American Brass Company.
 John J. Driscoll, executive secre- tary of the union, said today that a conference has been arranged for Monday with the management of the Oakville Company, division of the Scovill Company. The union is negotiating for a new contract to replace the one which expired in March. MT. Driscoll said that the company has agreed to make any wage increase retroactive to May Il.
 The union will hold another con- ference Monday with the manage ment of the A. H. Wells Company. George McDonough, of the state

NEHEMIAH CANDEE WELL KNOWN HERE
Opponent of City Manager
 Plan, NOrwaIk Judge, SuccumbS

Judge Nehemiah Candee of Nor. walk who died yesterday at Stam- ford hospital, was a leading oppon- ent of the city manager plan for Waterbury two years ago. He joined with the late Senator George T.. Culhane to oppose adoption of the city manager referendum bill in the General Assembly at the 1889 session and during the referendum campaign he came to this city sev- eral times to speak against the proposed new charter.
 Though Q Republican, Judge Candee supported Senator Culhane in several important legislative fight at Hartford. His principal anti- city manager address was made at mass meeting at Temple Hall a few days before the referendum in which the plan was decisively de- feated.
 He was c one.tirne nominee for the Supreme Court of the Phillip pine Islands but confirmation was blocked by e filibuster at Washing ton.
 Judge Candee was a native oi Easton and graduated from Yale Law School in 1897. He was a rep resentative in the state Legislature in 1917 and 1919 and Q state Senator in 1921 and 1899.
 In 1881 President Hoover nomina- ted him as judge of the Philippine Supreme Court but when the Senate filibuSter developed he withdrew his candidacy.

Great Britain in north Ireland.
 Senate Democratic Leader AlbeYi w. Barkley denied knowing of any Irish base, which has been reported in congressional cloakroom conver- sations for several weeks, and was formally alleged by Senator Robert A Taft, R., O., in debate yesterday.
 Taft's speech was co-incident with a charge by Representative Andrew L. Somers, D., N. Y., in the house that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill is "as capable of blunder- ing in diplomacy as he, is in military tactics"
 Somers assailed Churchill for cri- ticizing Wheeler, who recently fore- cast American occupation of Iceland prior to the official announcement <
 Talks Of WilIIie
 Taft reminded the senate that Wendell L. Willkie, 1e40 Republican presidential candidate had had lunch with President Roosevelt Wednesday and then called for es- tablishment of American bases in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
 Every argument that has been used for the occupation of Iceland applies to Ireland and England and Portugal" Taft said.
 Taft's attack was answered by Senator Tom Connally, D., Tex. He said that an attempt by congress to dictate the movement of troops and naval units would be usurpation of the constitutional right of the pres- ident as commander -in-chief of the armed forces. s.. {
 A refusal to assert American rights, Connally added, would be a "cowardly policy" because "our an- cestors, who were much weaker than we are, were willing to shed their blood"
 Senator Gerald P. Nye, R., N D. asserted that "our leaders seem al- most impatient that we have not been attacked"

Burton K. Wheeler, Democrat Montana, non-interventionist leader asking that he comment to the con- mittee on reports by newspaper Scolumnists that an American naval patrol boat in the Atlantic had at tackled a German submarine with depth charges.
 Knox has said that no such incl dent had occurred. He asserted that there has been no conflict between American and German naval forces.
 He will also be asked, 1t was under stood, to confirm or deny charges made in the senate yesterday, that the United States is constructing a naval air base in northern Ireland.
 Questions To Answer
 Questions by committee members also may lead Knox to discuss:
 1. His advocacy of the use of the United States naval forces to sweep the Atlantic clear of the German menace.
 9. What appeared to be an in- plication by him that the navy may nave to shoot to carry out orders is- sued by President Roosevelt when Iceland was occupied. He told a press conference Wednesday that naval policy in the Atlantic now goes beyond the original orders to report sightings of hostile craft to the White House.

Golden GIovers Use
Two Rings Friday
Al U|ine Arena

Seniors begin their quest for
Golden Gloves titles in earnest Fri
day night with an even dozen bouts
involving older boys scheduled at
Uline Arena in addition to more
novice scrapping.
Two rings will be used to run off
the lengthy program. which will
start at 8:l5. Double-headers are a
novelty in Washington, but old stuff
in New York and Chicago, where
practically every kid in town goes

The seniors are beginning in the
quarter final round and ST. Mary's
Boys Club of Alexandria has a lead
on the opposition with six fighters
in the running. Apollo A. c. is
next with five boys, while Merrick
and Red Shield bring up the rear.
Bouts range from the 112-pound
division to heavyweight and the
card is dotted with four-star attrac-
tions. Nick Latsios, who reached the
finals in Eastern regional competi-
ton last winter, makes his tourney
bow against Johnny Carroll in the
147-pound standout AL Edick's
scrap with Charley Maimone should
feature the middleweight division,
and Leo Marcopolus' duel with
Bernie Cady in the lightweight
bracket is almost a sure-f1re attrac-
ton.

Golf Shops Are Altered.
Two of the golf shops around
Washington are due for face-lift-
ing during the winter, and the fair
weather golfers who come out in
the spring hardly will recognize the
old shops.
At Army Navy a completely new
shop is going up right against the

it to be finished by March /, in time
for the usual spring rush.

will be hardest hit of all golf clubs
around town. The piping days of
peace when an officer in the mill
tary service could get an afternoon
off for golf, are gone.
The old Chevy Chase golf shop,
one of the biggest around town, is
to be completely reconditioned. with
paneled walls and other changes.
Bob Barnett, who presides over one
Of the swank shops of the country
at Miami Beach, hardly will recog-
nize the old shop when he returns
from Florida next April.
Alex (Sandy) Douglas, caddie
master at Chevy Chase for many
years, will take up his post at
new spot between the present golf
shop and the 10th green, while the
caddies will be segregated In q house

They're right out In the open, just
as are the troops guarding bridges
across the Potomac.
The Army moved in few hours
ago, nudging those big anti-aircraft
units across the fairways, and closed
course F. and the East Potomac
Park driving range, probably for
the duration of the emergency. To-
day they were to fire shot or two
apiece, to settle the guns into the
yielding earth of the golf course.
Three 9-hole Units Open.
Course G, or the northern part Of
it north of the East Potomac Park
field house, has been closed for eight
months, since the welfare and
recreation unit obtained permis-
sion to build tennis courts near
the tourist camp. The golfers have
been using several holes along the
Washington Channel to complete
their circuit of course G.
I'VE will have three nine-hole
units open," said Bobby Bowers, the
lad who succeeded Tommy Doerer in
charge of the golf layout at East
Potomac Park. 81 don't anticipate
there will be any greater conges-
tion during the winter. But that
course F, now closed, helped a
lot during the summer. And we

CoroIino Channel Boss Weighing 75A
Pounds Breaks 12-Yeor-OId Record

Outdoor writer's practice what
they preach. With many it is full
time job, but seldom do they shoot
large buck or land the largest
fish.
Jack Brawley, from the Empire
State, turned the trick, however, in
the Palm Beach sailf1sh tournament
with sail measuring 8 feet inches.
Not exactly a record breaker, but
there will be few taken in the course
of a season which will exceed this
length.
Until last week a channel bass
weighing "a pounds was the largest
ever caught on rod and reel. This
record had been on the books for
II years and equaled twice in the
last three years. Now there is a
new champion, topping the old by

caught it off Hatteras Island on the

his belief that the bovine was a deer
that it was only with the greatest
difficulty the policeman proved his
mistake.
The really odd feature of this
story is that this hunter has con-
siderable company each hunting
season. Last year some 40-odd
hunters bagged their cows in Penn
sylvania.
Also the story of Andy Cihon, who
could not take little kidding from
group of railroad workers over his
lack of game. His response was q
blast from shotgun. This cost him
100 bucks, the probability Of an
assault charge and he was deprived
of his hunting permit for 10 years.
