CLEVELAND EAST
NEWS
By Frank ]. Gable.

Cleveland, Ohio. October 3
The piano has been tuned and
the rooms have been redecorated
and refurnished. But where are
the singing aspirants? 1t was a
common thought that as soon as
summer was over the attendance
at singing rehearsals would in
crease. However. attendances
are still declining. Parents and
we'll wishers were at their wits
end. Should they pay and sup
port an organization that lacks
enthusiasm? Are some drastic
changes necessary: Should some
thing that had all the appear
ances of a successful venture be
halted midway: Your efforts to
attend singing practices every
Friday evening at 7:3O p. m. will
answer these arising questions.
Prepare yourself now for
good time. Chase the moths out
of your Halloween costumes.
Train your minds on the sorceries
of witchcraft for on November
lst Cleveland East will hold their
annual Pumpkin Ball at the East
Side Sachsenheim. This is truly
an event you can't afford to miss.
Prizes will be awarded to the
wearers of costumes most SYM
bolic OF the spirit of Halloween.
The time for the baseball play
offs has finally been decided.
Sunday morning, October II,
Salem will play Detroit in Cleve-
land. The winner OF this game
will then play Cleveland East, in
the afternoon of the same dav,
in the first of a three game series
to decide the T. S. ]. A. cham
pionship. East's finely balanced
team will attempt to repeat as
champions. East teams have
achieved an enviable record in
the past year for their sterling
championship performances.
The first Friday in the month
means East Junior Saxon Club
meeting, SO let's have a rousing
attendance at 8::45 P. NJ. on Oct.
3. Dances and parties are all be-
ing elaborately planned. Come
cand offer your support and sug-
gestions.
George Oldorf certainly had ,
wonderful party on his first an
niversarv. Mrs. Minnie Oldorf re-
ceived many practical gifts, some
of which will soon be necessary
for her to use. May you folks en-
Joy the future as you have the
past. Best of Luck.
Our old friend Ed Faith will be
home on a brief visit this month.
Uncle Sam has claimed Ed, so
let's all make it a point to see
him when we can. If Gertie Baatz
will allow it we'll try to enter
tain him. Sammy Schenker has
been going home to Farrell quite
often OF late. Can it be that he is
getting homesick? Geo. Schaser
Sr. certainly is an enthusiastic
horse shoe player but he always
gets robbed OF ringers (strictly
according to him). Reiny Fritz is
best when the pressure is on.

SENATE IS GIVEN
 STIFF WARNING
Federal Funds May Not Be Forthcoming for them.

Hartford, Conn.,, May 27-(UP)-- While legislative leaders made slow progress on drafting of minor court judgeship slate, the state Senate was warned today that fail- ure to pass 6 measure making wlde- spread changes in the unemploy- Ynent compensation laws would re- suit In Stoppage of federal funds for administration of the law.
 The unemployment compensation bill was at the foot of the Senate calendar, placed there on motion of Sen. Joseph T. Rourke, D., New Ha- ven. Rourke admittedly asked the bill be placed there as Q lever to force House action on new state labor relations act.
 No sooner had the Senate ap- proved the motion to sidetrack the compensation bill then 1t was dis- closed that Howard Hausinan, ex- ecutive director of the compensa- ton system in the state, had writ ten @ letter to legislative leaders warning them of the peril in the cessation of federal funds.
 The halt in federal contributions Hausman said, also would affect ad- ministration of the state employ ment service.
 The Senate, 1t was believed, would not hold up the compensation meas ure too long. The bill contains pro- visions favorable to workingmen, as well as reducing the meployers' con- tributions by about $2,00,000.
 Minor Court Slate
 Meantime, a subcommittee of the Judiciary committee continue q huddles on preparation of a minor court slate, and slow progress was reported. Leaders said they were optimistic about approval of a slate but there were others who said agreement was distance because oi the lack of time before adjourn ment.

 TWO other E-boats (derman tor. pedo speed boats), were damaged iii the fighting, tho admiralty said.

 British Navy Strength
 British naval strength in the Mediterranean 1t was stated au- thoritatIvely, is relatively greater today than before the Crete cam paign began, regardless Of Ger man claims to have broken Bri- tain's navy in the eastern Meditcr' ranean.
 Fighting on land, however. was going against the British and Greek defenders at last reports.
 On Monday the Luftwaffe pound- cd at British positions and late in the day the Germans. believed now to have more and bigger tanks that were landed by air, attacked in the direction of Canea and Suda Bay in an effort to drive along the north shore of Crete. The offensive wid- ened the previous point of pcnetra- ton of British lines, where counter attacks by New Zealand troops had failed.
 The British fell back to new posi-. tons, the Cairo communique said.
 Fighting on the Mediterranean island Is "most bitter" as e result of German penetration of British- Greek lines west Of Canea in a drive toward Vital Suda Bay, ac. cording to British sources, but the Nazi losses so far arc much heavier than the British casualties.

 The Bismarck's loss to the Ger mans and the compensating victory for the British were out of propor- tion to Britain's loss of the battle cruiser Hood. which the Bismarck sank Saturday in the first major engagement of its career.
 Although 7,l00 tons larger, the Hood was 20 years old and much less effectively armorcd than the Bismarck.
 Here is how the British fared by comparison, in getting the Bismarck for the Hood:
