NEW YORK, June 12.-The New
York Times says it has learned that
three of the most powerful c. I. o.
unions have united to break the
control of left-wing elements over
the C. I. o. organization in Los
Angeles"
The Times said the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America had
sent an international vice president,
Leo KrZycki, and one of its high
ranking organizers, Frank Daniel,
to the West Coast by plane for this
purpose. The Textile Workers Union
sent a representative Jack Ander-
son, from Portland, Greg, to aid in
the drive, the newspaper said.
The Times said these men will
work In Los Angeles with Richard
T. Frankensteen, national director
OF the Aircraft Division of the
United Automobile Workers, to set
up new central body which will

bring about the withdrawal of all
right-wing groups from the Los
Angeles Industrial Union Council.
Sponsors of the movement, the
Times says, hoped that the charter
of the present council will be with
drawn. A similar movement, 1t
added, might be attempted in San

Nurses Urged 10 Register
For Military Service

An urgent call to qualified nurses
to register with the Red Cross for
military service was issued today
by the District Chapter.
The Army needs more nurses to
take care of the thousands of re-
cruits being added to the armed
forces week after week, it was
pointed out, and the Red Cross
is undertaking to enroll a reserve
available on call.
The emergency is here" said
Mrs. Bertha Jones, executive secre-
tary of the Committee on Red Cross
Nursing. Many thousands of our
young men are in camps being
trained for duty. We all hope that
the only need for nurses will be to
take care of common ailments that
affect people in all walks of life at
all times. But that need Is definite
and at hand"

in the Army Nursing Corps during
the last war, has volunteered for

Supplies 10 Britain
Under Panama Flag
Loneshoremen Protest
Job Loss by Transfer
Of Morgan Line Fleet
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 12.-Ten
United States-owned cargo vessels
are slated for transfer to Pana-
,manian registry within the next few
weeks and will be sailed to British
ports with American materials,
maritime circles said today.
The ships comprise the entire
feet of the Southern Pacific Steam
ship Lines as acquired Tuesday by
the Maritime Commission and will
be operated, shipping sources said,
under charter by the United States
Lines.
These sources declared the freight
,ers would be manned by foreign
crews, which, together with their
sailing under the flag of Panama,
would enable their use without vio-
iating the American Neutrality Act
First repercussion of the Govern
ment's requisitioning of the South
iern Pacific Morgan Line) ships
came yesterday when 421 longshore-
men and tugboat workers ceased
loading the freighter El Occidente,
scheduled to sail Saturday for Gal
weston, Tex.
Joseph P. Ryan, president of the
International Longshoremens Union
"a. F. L., which called the strike
In protest of the transfer, asserted
the move would throw 5000 men out
of work in New York, Baltimore,
Galveston and Houston, Tex.
Mr.. Ryan, charging the Morgan
Line had seized an opportunity to
offer its ships to the Government
and thereby avoid its obligations to
its employees, said he would confer
today In Washington with Chair
man Emory S. Land of the Maritime
Commission in an effort to have
the vessels transferred one at a time
and over as long a period as pos
sible.
Ringing on the outcome of this
meeting, Mr.. Ryan said, is the uues-
ton of whether the strike would
spread to Baltimore and the two
Texas Gulf ports.
A Morgan Line spokesman fatty
denied the company sought to avoid
It's responsibilities to its men and
declared the line had merely full
filled its duty of surrendering the
ships at the call of the Government.

 Last week in the Dusty, Dan Montanari was the boss bowler with a 15o single and 397 three game set with that results causing tie betwee1.

MADE NAME FOR HIMSELF AS FORDHAM LINE COACH

Leahy made a name for himself among coaches as line coach un- der Sleepy Jim Crowley at Ford blocks of granite. He added to this prestige as lecturer at summer football schools. It was on the rec ommendation of Carl G. Snavely, with whom he was associated at a Cornell coaching school in the sum- mer of 1888, that Leahy became the surprise selection as Boston Colleges chief in '39
 Leahy talks well, but not too much. He is modest is in no sense a pop-off. He weighs his words carefully, and when he does say something it means something.
 Frank handles his own lines. which is the mark of the good coach, for games are won up front.
 To put his own methods into ef- feet without sip, he brings hi' entire Boston College staff-Ed McKeever, formerly of Texas Tech. to handle the backs; Joe McArdle and Johnny Druze, Fordham men, to assist him with the line, and Freshman Coach Tom Powers, upon whom he banks to feed the varsity in the established Leahy way.
 Frank Leahy has ideas of his own

Tom Conley, current head man at John Carroll of Cleveland, is among the many greatly pleased by his alma maUer's choice, and not only because Leahy was his classmate and teammate on Knute Roskne's last and one of his finest clubs, the 1880 edition, which he captained.
 Leahy was still an undergraduate when the ill-fated plane carrying Rockne plummeted to a Kansas plain, March 31, 1881.

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON wv. RURGESS.

To be artful is to be very clever.
1t is to do things in a way so clever
that people will not see what you are
doing, No one can be more artful
than Blacky the Crow when he sets
out to be.
You remember Blacky had got
it into that funny little black head
of his that he would try to help
Bowser the Hound get home. 1t
didn't take him long to find out that
Old Man Coyote wouldn't help.
Then he tried Reddy Fox, but he
was smart enough not to let Reddy
know that he was seeking Reddy's
help for BoWser. He soon found
out that Reddy would not knowingly
help the least little bit, so Blacky
decided at once that the only thing
for him to do was to get Reddy to
help unsuSpectingly He changed
the subject very abruptly.
How are the chickens at Farmer
BroWn's?" inquired he. Reddy
looked up and grinned. They
seem to be in just as good health
as l can judge. Farmer Browns
Boy seems to be terribly suspicious.
He locks them up at night so tight
that not even Shadow the Weasel
could get his nose inside that hen
house"
Blacky's eyes twinkled, but he
took care that Reddy should not
see them. Farmer Browns Boy
is different from some folks 1 know"
said he.
"How's that?" demanded Reddy
Fox.
Why" replied Blacky, there is
a certain farmyard 1 know of
where the hens are not kept shut
up at all in the daytime but run
around where they please. I see
them every day when 1 am flying
over. They certainly are fine look
ing hens. I don't think I've ever
seen fatter ones. Some of them
are so fat they can hardly run"
AS Reddy Fox listened, a look of
eagernesS crept into his eyes and
his mouth began to water. He just
couldn't help it. Where did you
say those hens are?" he asked,
trying to speak carelesSly.
Il didn't say" replied Blacky
turning his head aside to hide a
grin. 1t is long way from here,
Reddy, so don't believe you would
really be interested"
That all depends" replied Reddy.
Il would go a long way if it were
worth my while. I don't suppose
you noticed if there were any dogs
about where those hens are?"
Blacky pretended not to hear this
I've often thought" said he, "of
you and Mrs. Reddy as I have looked
down at those fat hens. 1t is TOO
bad that they are so far away. Good
ness me. 1t is getting late and I must
be going"
Without another word, off he flew.
