Mr.. Hickey has an uncanny knack
OF Iudg ng men. He is a polished
orator, graduate lawyer, churchman
and holder of numerous degrees. He
has properly been called the father
Of the "chain store" system of using
smaller clubs as recruiting ground
or young players.
In addition, Mr. Hickey is no

teaching country school in the hills

Hickey coached baseball at the
University of Michigan during the
seasons of 1912 and 1913. He dis
covered" such stars as George Sis
Ter and Johnny Lavan for the St.

part-time scout for the st. Louis
Americans and finally came to the
front Office as secretary. He became

Cream Of Oyster Soup

Eating oysters in assorted ways
is the hobby of many people. These
juicy bivalves are nice enough to
make themselves adaptable to
many recipes, so all we have to do
is buy them either in or out of the
shells and put them to work to
make something like this:
CREAM OF OYSTER SOUP
l pint oysters
" cup cold water
cup white sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Wash the oysters with u cup
of water, through a colander re-
move any bits of shell; reserve
liquid heat gradually TO The boil
ing point. Let oysters simmer
until they look plump and the
edges curl; drain and skim the
liquid. Make a white sauce, add
the hot strained oyster liquid,
salt and pepper to taste and cook
until smooth. Add the oysters
and serve hot with oyster crack
ers toasted in the oven for just
a few minutes.

sion that its purpose was to settle
differences over various proposals
for legislation and then to get con-
gresSional action.
He said that looking to this end

W.l.B. Power Needed
To Enter Direct PAY
Negotiations Studied
Bourd Now Believed
Able TO Act Only on
Certified Disputes

William H Davis, chairman Of the
War Labor Board, said this after
noon that a study had been under
taken to determine If the boards
age-stabilization powers needed
amplification to enable it TO deal on
its own motion with cases in which
proposed wage increases are the
subject of negotiations between
management and labor and are not
brought before the board.
An interdepartmental conference
of officials, he said, had named a
subcommittee to decide If further
authority Is needed and the extent
to which this power should be
sought from the President. On the
subcommittee are Secretary of Labor
Perkins. Chairman Paul v. McNutt
of the Manpower Commission. Price
Administrator Henderson and Mr..
Davis.
In his seven-point program for
economic stability, the President
said that "all stabilization or adjust
ment of wages will be settled by the
War Labor Board machinery" but
that has been interpreted to cover
only those cases involving disputes
in war industries which come before
the board. 1t is recognized that
negotiations outside OF the boards
sphere influence might bring about
wage increases to an extent op-
posed by the administration.
In its study, Mr.. Davis said, the
subcommittee would consult with
leaders of the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations and the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.

Traffic Group Weighs
Extension Of PARKING
Limit 10 II Hours
Proposal Goes Bock to
Committee; Relocation
Of enforcement Suggested

A move to amend the present
parking regulation to permit park
| ing for a maximum of 72 hours
throughout the duration Of the war,
suggested as a step to help local
automobile owners during the gaso-
line and tire rationing program.
was sent back to committee last
night after it had been discussed at
length at a meeting of the Trafflc
Advisory Council.
The proposal came in the form OF
an amendment to another submitted
! through the Commissioners and
calling for the parking maximum to
/ be increased from the present 18-
hour limit to So hours.
| Harry Wender, council member,
who offered the 72-hour amendment,
pointed out that, under the present
tire and gas rationing, motorists
need permission to park on the
street more than ever in view of
the fact that they are unable TO
find sufficient off-street parking to
| take care of the increased demand.
Enforcement Change Suggested.
Arthur C. Miller, inspector in
charge of traffic. said in urging post
ponement of action on the proposal
| that he thought there should be
some relaxation of the parkirE
regulation, but that he believed it
could be done by relaxing the policy,
! of enforcement rather than the law
itself.
The parking law proposal was in
! cluded in report submitted by
the Committee on Parking and Ex-
pediting Traffic, which also recon-
mended and obtained approval on a
suggestion to be submitted to the
Commissioners that cars be pro-
hibited from standing between 7:30
and m and between 4 and $50
pm. on the east side Of Twelfth
street NV, from Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to New York avenue, and that
no parking be permitted at any time
on the east side of Twelfth between
F and 6 streets. This latter change
was recommended. the report ex-

An analysis of the traffic situation
in Washington by Paul Stricken OF
the National Safety Council, who
conferred with the Executive Com
mittee of the Advisory Council, was
submitted and sent to the Commis-
sioners for further consideration.

of traffic, reported that gasoline
rationing had caused a reduction in
traffic Sunday, as compared to the
previous Sunday, of So per cent
along Wisconsin avenue, As per cent
on Highway Bridge. % per cent on
Memorial Bridge and Is per cent on
Bladensburg road.
The council accepted with regret
the resignation of c. W. Turner, who
explained that he had been forced
to resign because of other business.

future, it was announced. will be
held on the third Monday instead OF
the second Thursday Of each month.
