GATHER IN WASHINGTON

The industry's most informed
executives gathered in Washing
ton and passed the word that. as
they see it, forthcoming earnings
statements are responsible for the
pay raise demands of the union
workers. The same quarters made
the argument that these figures
are misleading. that the steel
companies earnings are not any
thing approaching the totals TO be
shown when the figures are made
public.
Murray said fatty this did not
impress the workers. He added:
THE reason for the con-
ferences Is simply that we
(SWOC) will ask for an upward
modification of existing wage
agreements"
Murray would not disclose the
raise to be asked by SWOC mem
bers, but he said his followers
were ready to make .reselHte
fight for their demands.
MurraY'S decision raised the
threat of a battle that struck
directly at the heart of this ma
tons efforts to build up The
United States and British defenSes.
He declared that the iSSae might
provide a real test of Roosevelt
administration powers to keep de-
Tense wheels turning.
The Go leader was apparently
unconcerned with announce d
efforts of Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau and others to
Stymle an imitation trend following
the iefenSe- production increase.

Come on" he said gruffly. You'd
better get some dry land under your
feet"
Thanks. Jerry" she murmured
gratefully. "I'll let you duck me some
other time
Nuts" Jerry said.
When he had shepherded her to the
shore, they lay on great fiat rock
and let the hot sun dry and warm
them. Once he stole glance at her.
She was staring at the sky, her gaze
shuttered and brooding; although he
could have reached out and touched
her, she seemed miles away - as re-
mote as the lone tattered cloud that
drifted lazily through the blue above
him.

He felt baffled. What was wrong
with him, anyhow? One moment he
was on top of the world; the next,
his elation abruptly fizzling, he was
down in the depths. 1t was like riding
an emotional scenic railway, and he
didn't like it.
1t was after four when they went
back to the cottage. He made a couple
of drinks while he waited for Connie,
and turned on the radio. After con-
siderable dialing he got a station in
Albany that was playing dance rec
ords. "I'll pep up this outing if it
kills me-" he vowed.
"Oughtn't Bill and Alice to be here
soon?" Connie said as she came out
of the bedroom into the living room.
Evening star., 1941-08-10

IT'S hard to say. They weren't sure
when they could get away, and with
the Saturday afternoon traffic they
may not make very good time.
Let's sit out on the porch and listen
to the music"
They sat on the porch. listening to
the music in silence, and his uneasi-
ness began to return. What do you
say we dance?" he exclaimed, sud-
denly and too loudly.
''All right" Connie said.
She was warm and soft in his arms,
and her faint perfume was like the
faraway scent of flowers. But even
with her body close to his she seemed
remote. To have her and not to have
her was torment. Connie" he
blurted, whats wrong with us?"
Is THERE something wrong?" she
asked evasively, giving him smile
that was not smile but mere move
ment of her lips.
'You knoW there is. We're not hav-
ing any fun and there's no use pre-
tending we are"
I'm sorry you're not having fun,
Jerry"
''Are you7"
"Oh, loads! But then I'm easily
amused. A date every three or four
weeks and I'm in Seventh Heaven"
He stopped dancing and stared at
her with puzzled. angry eyes. Her face
was tense; her lips trembled. 81 can't
understand you, Connie. You're diff
ferent today"
81 thought was my usual happy
go-slappy self"
"You have chip on your shoulder.
You seem to want to pick fight"

Don't be like that"
"Hcw do you want me to be? Just
tell me and I'll do my darnedest.
Alter all, I've done nothing for year
but try to please you. Why should
stop now?'
She suddenly burst into tears and
hid her face against his shoulder.
"Conniep" he cried. He was shaken
by devastating tenderness that left
him inwardly in ruins. "Please don't
cry, Conniev'
"Oh, leave me alonev' She tried to

She came up cleaning. with little
round Jewels of water on her face and
shoulders.
Scarcely cat!' she taunted.
For that you get ducked." he
said, and dived after her.
The water took his breath away for
1 moment, and when he came to the
surface. she had swum out of reach
and was grinning at him.
Think / can't catch you?"
Try it,
''All right. But you're only post

0HE was an excellent swimmer, and
catching her was not as simple as he
had anticipated. He was beginning to

She clung to him tightly, and her

seeching.

She was really done in, he thought,
as she continued to cling to him.
He experienced a kind of outraged
concern. The little fool! What was she

fore his request for a match with
his old rival, Jim Londos, IS taken

That was Promoter Joe Turner's

Lewis and Londos be rematched
after a lapse of years. During their
hey deys Londos and Lewis strug-
gled against each other IS times,
the Stranger coming out on top on
each occasion. One of their meet
ings, Turner recalled, drew $4,000
to Chicago arena.
Lewis attempt to come back at

of last weeks incident in which
Lewis, refereeing, put a deadlock
on the Hornet after the latter had
protested his officiating. Henry
challenged Lewis to a formal bout
and it was accepted.

OUTDOORS
Short Duck Season, Drastic Regulations
Are Bringing Protests From Hunters

The annual sale of duck stamps
denotes the interest Of hunters in
wild waterfowl and because, like
salt water fishes, the range of these
birds is so great they can stand
publicity. Just as a fish must be
fooled into biting so must water
fowl be enticed into blind within
range of a scatter gun. For that
reason it is a prime subject at this
season Of the year.
Since the restrictive regulations
went into effect in 1884 there have
been complaints from sportsmen
and organizations. Some had merit,
many merely were selfish, few re-
ceived consideration from the gov
erning body, which had a tough job
to keep whole sections satisfied and
still keep the birds flying north in
the spring.
Long before Federal authorities
stepped in to save our dWindllng
waterfowl, cunning clubs were regu-
lating the bags taken by members
and guests. They supported thou

of birds and would be the first line
of defense of our waterfowl today
were many of them still in exist
ence.
Batting Is General Practice.
Most clubs are closed because bat
teries, batting and live decoys made
shooting hardly worthwhile. The
members were able to enjoy only a
few days hunting each season. They
shot fewer birds than the majority
OF wildfowlers.
Batteries were extremely destruc-
tive of waterfowl in the hands of
guides when used on q daily pay
basis. There is no place for them
anywhere in the future Of vildfowl-

all, of course, are the two games be-

and q great show for the GUS

Georgetown should be ready for

cap his boys. The Hoyas were rag
ged in the first half of the A. U.
contest but settled down in the
second and turned In one Of the
smoothest team exhibitions ever
seen on a local court. They could

Especially heartening to Ripley
was Ken Engle's work under the
board. A tall, muscular chap. En-

much help. but he loosened up
enough to flip in six field goals last
night and Rip hopes he'll begin to

The Washington Eagles Friday
night date with the Johnstown Blue

Eastern Amateur Hockey League
campaign into a four-team race.

Eagles in Good Shape.
Washington will enter the game
with an undefeated string of four
games, having compiled three wins
and tie in recent tits. The Eagles
also will be in fine physical shape,
resting tonight and tomorrow night.
The exception may be the veteran
Ernie Muddy, who will be X-rayed
TO discover whether he has a Clipped
shoulder bone. He was idle last
| night and may be lost to the Eagles
for an indefinite period.
The Eagles have been heartened,
though, by the performance Of Craig
McClelland. who made a satisfactory
debut in the net last night. AS a
result Of his fine play Coach Red
vers Mackenzie released Leith
Dickie to Atlantic City. retaining
Carl Howell as spare goalie.
Whistle Blasts Frequent.

whistle at frequent intervals. Gregg
Kirby Of the Sea Gulls witnessed
most Of the game from the penalty
box, being sent there on six occa-
sions. Harwood detected Is other
penalties, which is sub-par whistling
even for him.
Kenny Ullyot and Keith Allen sent
the Eagles into a 81 lead in the
first period, while Art Thompson
and Ode Hallowen matched a brace
Of Atlantic City goals in the second
session Little Roland Bleau scored
the only goal Of the third period as

ing. Live decoys made suckers OF
the wild birds. Their prohibition put
a handicap on easy shooting, even
though it was justified. Hunters
took that too, without a squawk,
but not the batting, without which
many blinds are worthless.
We have not found single vio-
lation of the battery and live decoy
regulations, but batting is as wide
spread as late shooting. Sportsmen
appear to believe it their due and
shoot after hours because other
wise in a season such as we have
had this year they would get no
shooting.
If there is disregard Of some
regulations it will extend to others
in time. We are bringing the sub
ject up constantly, for now Is the
time to prepare for next season.
Longer Season Might Help.
Given an extension of hours I'M
til sunset, and a season partly
through January would. we believe,
remove the present disregard of
regulations, ana allow Fe0eral war
dens to concentrate on commercial
violators.
In some States sportsmen are
agitating for an extension Of the
season into February and even
March.
Daily permit shooting is just as
possible as daily permit fishing. 1t
is being used on upland game sue
cessfully in many States. There
are other means of controlling shoot
ing.
Such ideas could be talked out
by bringing State authorities and
sportsmen together. Both would
use their dollars freely, II given the
chance.

George B. Johnson, Newport News
sportsman. adds this one to the 1941
hunting yarns: A 12-year-old boy,
squirrel hunting with a % rifle
in Dismal Swamp, was confronted
suddenly by large bear. He
emptied his rifle in the general d.
rection of the bear and the animal
fled toward a nearby tree. Under
it and looking up for squirrels at
the time was another hunter, who
hurriedly sent shotgun blast at
the bruin and climbed the tree as
the bear brushed by.
Dogs of other hunters picked up
the trail of the bear and, as the
barking neared, the men spread
out at intervals of hundred yards.
waiting. But instead of a bear,
four-point buck jumped from the
bushes and made straight for one
of the hunters, who had never seen
a deer before, dead or alive.
