Torpedoed in every combat by successive "Sinkers" down the fir ing line by aggressive rivals, Cap- tain Father Michael McVerry com- manded his men in the lead of re- taliating some never too late ex- ploSion, to come up from submis- sion Wednesday evening in a col- orful battle fought on the alleys of the North End "Y".

The big game also gave "Lumpy" high three score.
 Let us not overlook the main factor in the powerhouse explosion which credited the New Dealers taking two away from the Scouts We take pride to announce that the calmy Danny Summa mastered great execution of beautiful pin ming for the New Dealers; not for getting to mention Dodo Mastan- drea.
 "Spiggie" Mazzalupo's Senators continued their rapid drive toward first position in sinking the pow erful Chillemi's Presidents in two sets. Tony Caserio came through with an unexpected 116 game; therefore the Presidents gained one win for the night. and that was only by the margin of one pin.

Government Plans to
= Avoid Sugar Shortage

Washington, Apr. II -AP- A
plan to guard against a shortage OF
sugar by increasing the carryover
at the end OF 1941 was reported to
be under consideration by the De-
partment OF Agriculture today.
1t was said the plan would be
accomplished by lifting all restric-
tions on harvests OF cane and beet
sugar during the remainder OF this
year.
Benefits payments would be
made on the entire harvest, but
the producer would be allowed to
market only that amount provided
by his marketing quota.
1t was said this plan had been de-
vised to allay fears that war con.
ditions might cause a shipping
disturbance and a resulting short
age OF sugar importations from Off
shore areas.
