For SHORTAGE Of Seamen
Rrtha aAsSnciatad praxs

By the Associated Press.
The Marine Inspection Bureau
disclosed today "a present or pros
pective shortage of seamen" and
asked that selective service officials
take the situation into account in
drafting young seamen into the
Army
Army conscription of seamen, the
bureau said, appeared to be the
major cause of the shortages in
some ports, although another cause
was the trend of many seamen to
quit the sea and take attractive
shore jobs developing as result Of
the defense program.
An acute scarcity of seamen al
ready has developed at Boston, the
statement said. Only two ports,
Mobile, Ala, and Galveston, Tex,
said that they had enough men for
both present and prospective needs.

ence which failed to solve the
hurler's contract difficulties.
Lee, who drove to Chicago from
his home in Louisiana for the con-
ference, obviously was unhappy but
determined as he said:
Gallagher offered $4,000. I said
I would pitch for $4,000. Then I
offered to sign for S12,5 500 if assured
l would get the difference between
$12,500 and 5000 if l have a good
season. Gallagher said $4,000
I can't pitch for $4,000"
Gallagher met questions with
crisp no comment
The big righthander drew S17,5O0
last year when he won nine games
and lost II, his worst season since
he became a regular with the Cubs.
When he failed TO sign a contract
for $12,50O Gallagher reduced the
figure TO $4,000.
