FiopeIessly Deadloeked
on Six Major Demands
With contract negotiations be-
tweeno the General Motors Cor
poration and the UAW-CIC
'hopelessly. deadlocked." Fedora
Labor Conciliator James F. Dewey
was in Washington today to rec
ommend that the points IN dispute
be certified to the war labor board
for arbitration.
Dewey was also to report Q
deadlock between the corporation
and the Electrical. Radio ant
Machine Workers Union (CIO)
which represents 10000 workers
in six GIN plants and recommend
that this too be turned over Il
the war labor board. Demands
of the electrical workers are sim
liar to those OF the JAW.
WILSON ENTERS DISPUTE
Dewey left for Washington fol-
lowing 12-hour conference which
was attended by GIN President
Charles E. Wilson. who entered
the six weeks negotiations for the
first time yesterday. Wilson's
presence failed, however. to result
In settlement Of six major issues
which will be taken before the
war board.
The six demands of the JAW
which remain unsettled are:
sThe union shop.
"a dollar-a-day wage in
crease.
sPay for lunch periods.
oTime and one-half for over
40 hours a week and double time
! pay for the seventh consecutive
y work day.
"a 500 defense bond for
employees instead of paid vaca-
tons.
. Establishment Of the shop
steward system instead OF the
present committee representa-
ton system"
10000 AFFECTED
The contract affects 10000
General Motors employees and will
have a direct bearing upon JAW
contracts with so TO 60 other
former auto companies and parts
plants that are awaiting the deci-
sion of the war board on the GIN
contract before beginning nego-
tiations on their agreements with
the union.
Last year the General Motors
contract was referred to the Ma
tional Defense Mediation Board in
Washington which ruled that the
workers should receive 10cent-
an-hour wage increase.
WIDESPREAD INCREASE
The 1O-cent increase was later
granted in scores OF other JAW
contracts and in some plants
where new contracts had been
signed they were reopened and
wage increases granted
The war labor board is made up
of members of labor, management
and impartial mediators appointed
by the government. Usually only
three members of the l2-man
board sit on each case. but be-
cause of the Importance OF the
GIN contract il is understood that
the entire board may hear the
matter.
Walter Reuther. head OF the
GIN division of the union. said he
hoped that negotiations before the
board would begin in Washington
next week.
REUTER- ASKS SPEED
II was he who insisted that the
matter be referred TO the board
now although some company Off
Gals said that the negotiations
here were not yet deadlocked.
"AIl possibilities Of q settle
ment are exhausted" Reuther
declared.
The hearings before the war
labor board may be open TO the
press. Wilson suggested that re-
porters be admitted TO negotia-
tons here, but Reuther objected.
The labor leader said. however,
that IL the dispute went to the
war board he would be agreeable
to an open hearing.

Squads Rivals

CHICAGO, Dec. "a (P) -
The Great Lakes basketball
team, seeking the same No. l
ranking among service team
cagers as the Bluejacket grid
ders achieved during the foot
ball season, has bumped into a
serious rival right in its own
backyard in the red hot Camp
Grant warriors of Rockford, Ill.
Camp Grant won its third sue
cessive game last night, defeat
ing the touring Oklahoma club,
1874. On Tuesday the soldiers
won an overtime match from
the navy pier team in Chicago
and on Monday they handed the
University of Illinois its only
setback of the year. Illinois pre-
viously had dealt Great Lakes
its only defeat.
Great Lakes also won last
night, setting a new scoring high
by romping over Fort Sheridan,
81 to 33. 1t was the Sailors
eighth win in nine starts.
The only western conference
team in action last night was
Indiana, which came from be-
hind in the last half to turn back
Kentucky, 1882. The win was
the fourth in a row for the I'M
beaten Hoosiers.

Honors or Not;
He's Going to
Raise Hogs

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. "a
(P)-Professional golf is swell
and Henry Picard has won 40
major tournaments and a wad of
prize money at the game, but
he's hanging up his shooting
irons for good in favor of raising
hogs on his South Carolina
farm.
Picard has submitted his res
ignation after nearly two years
as pro at the Twin Hills Golf and
Country Club here, effective
Feb. l.
Now SO, Picard explains he
won't be any younger when
the war is over and major golf
tournaments are resumed.
Even if could get back to top
form after the war, I'd still be
away from home and my fam
ily," he said.
Picard started his golf career
as a caddy a score of years ago
and went to the top of the sports
toughest hill, winning every
major tournament except the
national open.
He won the national PEA.
tournament in 1899 over the
Pomonoc Country Club course
at Flushing, Long Island, de-
feating Byron Nelson 1-up over
81 holes. That was the year he
topped the nations pros with
STA ZOO in prize money.
For three years, 1857,
Picard teamed with Johnny Re-
volta to win the national four
ball championship in Miami,
Fla. Picard won the North and
South open at Pinehurst, N. c.,
in 1884 and 1896 and took the
Metropolitan open in 1885 and
1899.
In 1910 he won the masters
trophy at Augusta, Ga, with a
72-hole card of 286, edging out
Harry Cooper and Ralph Guild
ahl. He was member of the
1887 Ryder Cup team, first
American team to win the Gov.
eted trophy in England.
Picard used part of his golf
winnings several years ago to
buy 100-acre farm near Wal
terboro, S. c., just 40 miles from
Charleston where he began his
pro career in 1924.
After 10 years at Charleston,
ne. became pro at the Hershey
Country Club in Hershey, Pa,
in 1884. He came here from
Hershey April l, 1941.

Tennessee Squad Will Test u nbeaten Tulsa
in Sugar Bowl Contest on New Years. Day
BY ROBERT MELLACE

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. "a -
Just how good is unbeaten and
united Tulsa and its fabulous
tailback, Glenn Dobbs?
Tennessee will answer this
question in the New Orleans Su-
gar Bowl on New Years Day.
The Volunteers should win on

ules.
Tulsa will not find any Waco

types of football when it takes
the field in Tulane Stadium.
The solution to the problem is
expected to produce more often
sive football per square yard
than any of the other Bowl bat
ties.
Tulsa murdered 10 opponents
to amass more points than any
big club in the nation, 427 to the
opposition's 80.
On each of the 627 plays call
ed by Tulsa quarterbacks. an av-
erage of 6.8 yards was attained
to produce a back rated by some
professional coaches as good as
any in the current crop-Glenn
DObbS.
This six-foot-four-inch safety
man passed for IL touchdowns,
scored eight, punted for an av-
erage of 48.3 yards, got five
yards each time he carried the
ball and completed So per cent
of the 107 passes he tossed.
These figures easily could be
tip-off on the worth of Tulsa S
opposition.
AS though Dobbs doesn't pos
sess sufficient backfield talent
for one club, Henry Frnka has a
couple of other, Keithley and
Leforce, who play behind Dobbs,
and this pair shows records the
magnitude of which would
stamp either as a standout on
any team.
Tennessee has young squad
with no outstanding men.

40-14, in an early surprise of a
screwy autumn. They beat Lou

Officials Face
Stiff Ordeal

ATLANTA, Dec. "a R -
Imagine the plight of a football
official defending his interpre-
tation of a rule in a game be-
tween teams coached by two
guys who helped write the rules.
That might easily happen in
the Cotton Bowl game this year
which will bring together Geor-
gia Tech and Texas. w. A.
Alexander, Yellowjacket coach,
and Dana X. Bible, Texas tutor,
are both members of the foot
ball rules committee of the ma
t.onal collegiate athletic associ-
alton.
It's a safe bet that the Cotton
Bowl arbiters will be four of
the best informed officials in
the country-a trifle well-read,
to say the least, just in case
Alexander or Bible come out to
question a ruling.
