NEWPORT, r. l., March 20.-In

DENVER, March 2O.-As some
Eastern players see it, height, drive
and superior physical condition give
the West a big edge in major
league" basket ball.
That Is the slant of several for
rner college stars from the New
York and Washington area who
played for the New York Ohrbachs
In the National A. A. U. tourna-
ment and lost their only game by
81 points to a California team.
AS the New Workers packed up
to go home today, eight powerful
teams, survivors of the starting field
of 40 quintets, moved into tonight's
quarter-fnalS at the 34th national
meet.
Former Colonial Quoted.
Said sgd Karp, eX-George Wash
ington forward: These Western
teams drive, drive, drive, all the
time. They have plenty of tall men,
who are extremely good basket ball
players. We have very few big men
in the East, and a good big man
always is better than a good little
man on basket ball floor"
Karp believes Eastern quintets
show better team play than West
ern teams, but said, None of the
teams that have played in Madison
Square Garden would get beyond
the third round in this tourna-
ment."
Said Joe Dzienkiewicz, former ST.
Francis College star: western
teams keep popping away at the
basket and if they miss, their tall
men drive in for tip-in shots. Our
New York teams depend mainly on
two-handed set shots and we haven't
the height to follow in against
tall Western team"
Cites Westerners' Condition.
Said Abe Novak, 182-pound Ohr-
bach guard: Teams out in the
West seem to be in better shape. l
think, though, that officiating in the
East doesn't penaliZe a defensive
player as it does here and this helps
us Wnen we play bigger teams at
home"

BRASS co. HAS NOT REACHED
 SETTLEMENT Company Representatives Met With CIO Officials
 This Morning NO AGREEMENT AT
 RECESS FOR LUNCH None of Interested Parties Had Anything to Say
 About Progress

Negotiations between the management of the Ameri- can Brass Co.,, and commit tees of the Waterbury, Tor rington and Ansonia locals of the c. I. O. International Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers were appar- ently at almost a stalemate this afternoon. The con- ferees, meeting for a third time within a week in an effort to avert q strike that would affect 10000 workers and tic up Q vital defense industry, were to re- sume their barley ct 1880 this after noon after a brief luncheon re- cess. It was indicated that little progress was made ct tho morning conference, which began at 10 o. clock.
 Deputy Commissioner Morgan R, Mooney of the state labor depart fnent, who arranged the mediation conferences, said the only state ment he could make was: Both sides are continuing to negotiate" He said he was unable to comment on whether 8 deadlock had been reached or on reports that break down in negotiations was near.
 Make No Comment
 J. Harold Madden, labor relations director for the company, and John J. Driscoll, executive secretary of the Waterbury Brass Workers union and spokesman for the CIO groups, said they were unable to make any comment.
 Commissioner Mooney appeared to held out some hope that Q settle- ment might be reached. The dis pute has centered on wages. the company offering a raise Of six cents an hour and the union seeking a raise of 10 cents an hour such as 1t secured in recent negotiations with the Bridgeport Brass Go. The union has also refused to approve a com pany proposal that 1t agree not to seek another wage increase for at least Q year.
 The outcome of the negotiations will affect wage disputes in & num- Der of other plants, where negotia tions are being held up.
 The union personnel has voted to authorize a strike at the Ameri- can Brass plants in the three cities if the parleys are not successful.

Authoritative city hall sources said today that Republican Town Chair man Vernon L. Hall Is not among these being considered by Mayor Vincent A. scully for appointment to the board of tax commissioners to succeed Attorney Frederick W. palomba, who is slated to be named city court prosecutor within Q few days, The list of candidates before the mayor Is said to include the names of Works Commissioner Fen- ton Niver, Alderman William V. derardi, former Alderman Charles Schmidt, Anthony Petrillo and sev" erai more.
 Associates of the mayor said that never at any time had he considered appointing MT. Hall to the $3,l00 q year plum and that stories In other newspapers linking the c. O. F. chairman with the job had been en- tireiy aside from fact.
 The appointment must 90 to Q Republican, under c charter provi- sion that two of the five members of the board must be of the party not in power.
 From Q political point of view, the mayor would have laid himself open to charges of Q bipartisan "deal' had he named MT. Hall. There IS already considerable protest in Re- publican ranks against the fact that Attorney J. Werren Upson, former town chairman, is serving as acting prosecutor of the court of common pleas. At 6 c.

Hope Abandoned to Save Them; Probe Already Has
 Been Started
(NEA Ratliophoto)
BY GARDNER FROST United Press Stal4 CorrespOndentl

Portsmouth, N. H., June 23-(Up) Navy officials arranged today for a court of inquiry to seek the cause of the laundering of the submarine Ol9 and loss of her entire crew of 8.
 A naval spokesman disclosed that principal witnesses would include inspectors of the O.9's New Lon- don, Conn.,, base who reportedly cer- tified her fitness recently.
 Rear Admiral Richard Edwards, Atlantic fleet submarine commaia. der who directed futile efforts to reach the O-9 crew in their steel tomb 26 miles at sea, revealed that first reports concerning the O-9's activities at swept" testing grounds off here were not entirely accurate.
 Periscope Disappears
 At S:36 a. m. (EDT) Friday the O-9 began a lengthy submergence, diving through the water with only her periscope showing. Officers aboard the ether ships watched the tests but glanced away nomentarily. When they turned back the O-9's periscope had disappeared.
 Edwards said the O-9 tests were expected to last two hours so there was no immediate concern. Reports that the lost submarine fired Q black smoke bomb were incorrect, he said. The bomb was fired by one of the other "O-boats" to attract attention.
 Edwards said so far as he had been able to learn, the O-9 gave no sig nals, reported no trouble and at- tempted no communications after she disappeared from view.
 Naval observers believed an ex- plosion might have occurred in en- zine or battery rooms to send the ship plunging to the mud bottom 440 feet down where water pressure crumpled her plate-steel hull.
 Died Almost Instantly
 It was believed the two officers and 3l men died almost immediately when the O-9, relic of World War days, recommissioned because of the present emergency, was subjected to the 440-foot pressure. The O-9's hull was suilt to stand pressure at only 200 feet.
 At noon Sunday the o-s crew was given up for dead and salvage oper- ations were abandoned.
 Two divers-R. M. Metzger and Claude Conger-had completed the deepest working dive ever attempted to reach bottom.
 Conger had touched his hand against a Jagged. dark object" and had summoned Metzger to feel 1t. For a minute or two they explored their find like blind men. They they had reported that they thought they had reached the submarine.
 It was then that navy officials concluded that further attempts at rescue would prove futile and dan
