Drastic Work or Fight
Law Sought 10 Halt
Arms Plant Stoppages
Administration Likely
To Ask Congress for
w. l. B. Strong Hund'
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Drastic work or fight" legiS-
lation may soon be sought by the
administration to give the War
Labor Board a strong hand in
its task of eliminating all STOP
pages in arms production.
An informed source predicted to-
day that this request to Congress
was likely, and indications were that
1t would command strong support
especially since President Roosevelt
called on Americans in his Monday
night radio address not to stop work
single day.
Proposals for such legislation were
said to have originated with off,
cials charged with responsibility for
all-out war production. President
Roosevelt has repeatedly stressed the
need for uninterrupted production in
numerous speeches during the last
year. but the arms program never
theless has lost hundreds of thou
sands of man-hourS because of la
management, jurisdictional and
other controversies.
Immediate Draft Provision.
AS outlined by one influential
Democratic Senator, the legislation
probably would include provisions for
the immediate drafting into the
armed forces of any striking worker
who was subject to military service,
but who had received deferment be-
cause of employment in an essen
tial war job.
Under tentative plans, workers not
subject to the selective service who
went on strike would be blacklisted
and their employment banned for
a time by any plant working on
Government contract.
The Presidents call for uninter-
rupted war production brought pre-
dictions in Congress, meanwhile,
that If the War Labor Board failed
to find formula to keep all of the
industrial wheels turning without a
stop, Congress would act to see that
the Job was done.
Senator Hill of Alabama, the Dem
ocratic whip, said he felt that some
legislation might be necessary to
give the board broader authority to
prevent strikes.
TT just isn't in keeping with any
all-out effort to win a war to have
anybody stop work, even for an
hour" Senator Hill told reporters.
Ellender Forecasts Action.
Agreeing with this viewpoint, Sen
Ator Ellender, Democrat, of Louisi-
ana, a member of the Labor Com
mittee, forecast speedy congressional
action if the W. L. B. failed to guar
antee the uninterrupted production
the President wanted.
This action might come, suggested
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
in the form of legislation to freeze
the open and closed shop status of
war industries and to link wages to
the cost Of living. Under the latter
provision, he said, wages would ad-
vance only as the cost of living rose.
Taft said he believed members of
the w. L. B. would welcome estab-
ishment of such general policies.
Like Senator Taft, Senator Van
denberg, Republican,, of Michigan
felt that the Presidents pronounce
ment called for congressional action
to fix policies. although he said he
would be glad if the no-strike
agreement reached by industry and
labor last year could be carried out
voluntarily. There was some doubt.
he added, whether that agreement
was being followed to the letter.

Longtal faces one of the hottest elections in turf history before he can claim that coveted equine award
 h fact. many competent observ- CTS believe that Alsab will beat out Whirlaway when the sports writers east their ballots. We favor Aisab the rags-to-riches colt that beat Whirlaway twice in their three Geettngs.
 By some strange process of req ncning. the Whirlaway advocates are inclined to Shrug of Alsab's superiority over the Calumet Comet kn actual competition, which is somewhat Ike comparing the ring records of Billy Conn and Joe Louis without considering the significance cf their title fight.
 Went Lame
 Aisab campaigned from January Co November, winding up in glorious fashion by winning the Victory Handicap at Belmont Park We'd nesday-winning gamely despite a lame right foreleg and despite the fact that he carried six pounds above scale in a handicap-a feat which four-year-old Whirlaway was unable to accomplish all season.

races were blown because of bad rides by Alsab's pilots.
 The Sab won more money this yearl than Whirly-$234. .565 to Si9S. 800 And their records are not too different. Alsab registered nine wins in 3 starts, against Il in 2l for Mir Longtail but one of the latter was the Sl0,o00 walkover at Pimlico.
 The Whirly supporters make much of the fact that the Calumet charger this year brought his total earnings past Seabiscuit's all-time mark, wind up with S5s4,4 46l fol three years Of campaigning. But it must be emphasized that most of Whirly's gold was garnered in i94l and l940. and that those earnings have no bearing upon the horse ot the year for 42.
 Tn their first tilt at Narragansett Park. Sept. le. Alsab won by a nose in the electrifying finish of their S25, 900 match race. They met next in the Jockey Club Gold Cup al Belmont Park. again under scale weights but over atwo mile course instead of the mile and three six teenths route. Again the same jockeys were up-Carroll Herman on the Sab and Georgie woolf on Whirly. Alsab led for a mile and seven-eights Herman thought he had Alsab home safely. but Iceman Woolf surprised them with a stretch drive that gave Whirly victory by three-quarters of length.
 Whirly Third
 Their rubber meeting was a week later. in the S25 900 New York Handicap at Belmont. This time the distance was two and quarter miles. Alsab not only ran Whirly into the ground. but fought of the stretch challenge of light-weIghted Obash. which finished second.
 When Whirlaway trailed in a weary third that day. he lost much ground in the race for horse-of- the-year honors.
 The Whirly adherents point out that Alsab hasn't even clinched three-year-old honors for AZ. This is true. There will be balloting on that also Shut Out is in the run ming for that award. having split honors with the Sab in four meet ings Shut Out also won more money than any horse in '42. a total of $238, ,22250. But Shut Out never tangled with Whirlaway the four year-old. and generally is not con- sidered a candidate for horse-of- the-year lRurels.
