RAN clustering MILE

Alsab last fall was acclaimed a
new Man O. War. He ran the
fastest mile on record for 2-year-
old. From July through November
he decisively defeated the best
that could be thrown against him.
But now it appears the son of
Good Goods has run smack into
the jinx which haunts 2-year-old
champions when they get to be
three.

bust. For the original $500 which
owner Albert SABBATH paid for him
at Saratoga in 1910. he has re-
turned over $4,000. But when he
minces on to the track for the
Derby he will be stamped with the
biggest question mark of any horse
in the race.
So far this year Alsab has not
run back to his juvenile form. Sew
eral times it appeared he was get
ting back his speed of last year
but he has never quite made il.
Now he's going to run for the
roses. But he won't have to worry
about Colchis. So maybe this bar
reimbursement colt, who rose to
the heights but found it tough to
stay there. can find his way back
with a Derby victory on May 2.

was Highbe's first of the year.
TRIPLE TIE DISSOLVED
The Braves previously had BEEN
tied for the lead. Pittsburg's Pr
rates also were knocked out of
their share of the three-way lead
when the Chicago Cubs pounced
on them for an 8 to 2 triumph,
their second straight over frankie
Frisch's hirelings. Jake Mooty
allowed only seven hits for the
BUGS as his mates drove Max
Butcher to the showers with a
four-hit- attack in the eighth,
topped by Lou Stringer's triple.

friendly to the stockholders Of
America and no one knows this
better than our labor leaders who
have waxed fat since MIR. Roose-
welt was first elected. AS TO the
paid form leaders, their shor..
sighted selfishness is being stoutly
fought by the President. In fact,
he will, ! believe, veto the farm
parity bill if 1t passes in its pres
ent form. He is getting tired and
disguised with all paid lobbyists
whoever they represent.
Our most dangerous foe today is
not Hitler. 1t is not Japan. il
is our own refusal to give up our
selfish privileges for the duration
OF the war. From the evidence at
seems to be one Of the worst o.
tenders. The Russian people and
the Chinese people are winning
their battles because they are sac
rificing everything to the common
purpose of defeating the enemy.

union leaders, or as corporation
officials and begin to act as our
embattled forefathers did at Bunk.
or Hill and Valley Forge, we shall
begin to win this war. Then
and only then-and not one day
sooner.
Labor Bringing on Initiation
Even apart from primary patri-
otto reasons, Labor must realize
that, by insisting on the retention
OF its favored peacetime hours and
wages status, it is bringing down
upon all of US the full fury Of in
flation. Leon Henderson is abso-
lutely right in his stand against
wage increases, higher farm prices,
and other attempts to hasten the
inflstionary spiral. The retention
OF the 40-hour week is only an
oblique insistence on further wage
advantages. II marks the point at
which overtime pay starts. know
workers are perfectly willing, any
time, in war or peace, to work As
or even 81 hours a week. Il is sole
ly question of wages that is
involved.
The decreased output OF consum-
ers goods means that for the dura-
ton we all must accept the reality
OF readjusted standard of liy.
Ing. If the workers, by insisting
on direct wage increases and the
iO-hour week. push wage schedules
skywards, they will merely be try
ing to lift themselves by their eco
nomic bootstraps. Their wage dol
lar will buy less and less Of more
and more articles. No system OF
liked prices can prevent universal
bootlegging.
Use More Defense Stamps
When wage increases are abso.
lutely necessary. they should be
paid in the form of defense stamps
and bonds. There are two good
reasons for this: o. II would help
sop up the surplus purchasing pow
er that would otherwise 20 to speed
up initiation. (2) 1t would provide

a grateful cushion for the workers
later on against the dislocations OF
the early postwar unemployment
period when such bonds, converted
into cash, would come in very
handy. In fact, | believe more OF
present wages should be paid In
defense stamps.
Labor is making a fundamental
mistake IL il insists that peace
time prequisites are permanently
endangered II they are temporarily
waived as part of the total war eff
fort. believe that some sort of
legislation suspending the work
week limitations contained in u
federal laws should be enacted.
Such repeal can-by the legisla-
tive act itself-be confined TO the
duration OF the war. After the war
is over the former provisions would
automatically become effective
again. Such action would carry
out the expressed wishes OF the
President in his last address to the
nation when he asked that con-
tinuous and maximum war produc-
ton be maintained. frankly think
that the House OF Representative

posal some days ago. ! hope the

Remember France as We'll az Pearl

Let us not forget that one Of the
things which paved the way for
the defeat OF France was the insist

the pro-labor Blum government,

sistsnt TO the Secretary OF Labor
during World War /.
The grim fact confronts us, how
ever, that We as a people are to-
day nghting for our very lives.
The continued existence OF all the
values We hold dear is at stake in
the global war which now encom-
passes us. II the United Nations
are defeated. the status OF the
American working man and woman
will be degraded TO that OF slave
labor. This is what some con-
gressmen seem to forget when they
insist that, in this grave emergen-
cy, We must continue TO grant La
Dor the 40-hour week. They even
appeal to a willingness to extend
general wage increases and other

itself even more strongly than be-
fore.

| believe that such labor leaders
as Philip Murray, president OF the
clio, and William Green, president
OF the AT OF l., are honest and
sincere men. There are racketeers
in the labor movement Just as
there are racketeers in business
and in the professions. I'm not
worried about those fellows. It's
the short-sighted attitude OF ma
.ority OF Congressman that I'm
concerned about. This short-sight-
edness becomes almost criminal
when Congress permits labor lead

should at least Immediately adapt

sincerely hope Congress will again

did when voting themselves pen

advanced in favor OF continuing La

Or was It that she didn't like the
way her son, Tay, paid so much at
tention to her? Perhaps combina-
ton Of all three, Molla thought.
Anyway, Molla figured, there had
been no indication on Tags part
that his interest would increase.
Not yet, perhaps, but whether in
America or Norway, all men give
certain signs that all women can
read.
Molla's thoughts quickened as
she recalled the way his gaze
seemed to linger on her eyes, the
little compliments he paid her, his
almost acute effectiveness.
She dropped off to sleep after re-
solving two things-that she must
give Tay Whitworth no encourage
ment and that she must cease to
let Agatha Whitworth bother her.
Molla had a phone call at the Of
fee the next morning. II was the
man who had given her his card at
the Rockefeller Plaza skating rink.
IT'S very important that I see
you for lunch today" he told her.
You mustn't refuse. Promise me
you'll meet me downstairs at
twelve-thirty."
Molla hung up, slightly confused.
She had almost forgotten the little
man named Eddie Bryan.
Eddie Bryan idled impatiently at
the entrance to the Whitworth
building. He was roundish and
short and had pale pink complex
ion which contrasted sharply with
bright, black eyes, blinking through
shell-rimmed glasses.
He rushed over and dotted his
hat when Molla finally appeared.
He gave her q quick, appraising
glance. He liked it.
He took Molla to a restaurant
not far from her ONCE and led her
to table in the corner.
I'm come straight to the point"
he said after they had placed their
orders. Young lady, there's a ca
reer in pictures ahead for you. It's
yours at just one scratch Of a pen"
Molla's blue eyes widened. Eddie
Bryan hunched forward in his
chair.
