PHILADELPHIA, Dec. % The
Philadelphia Phillies are in the mar
ket for baseball scouts and big and
rangy' players.
We don't want any "midgets" on
next years team. said General Man
ager Herb Pennock. We want the
big, rangy fellows who pack punch
when it is needed and are no powder
puffs at the plate"
Pennock said the Phillies also are
on the prowl for scouts who can be
depended on to bring in the material
to build up the clubs farm system.
A capable group Of ivory hunters will
get busy looking for talent as soon as
the Phillies select the men they
want, Pennock said. He didn't
specify how big the scouts should be.
Wants Men With Power.
When our scouts start looking for
pitchers they'll be principally inter-
ested in the big. raw-boned player
who can zip that apple across the
plate
Il don't care il their curve is only
a wrinkle and their control isn't
exactly needle eye The scouting
staff's orders will be to bring EN- in
big"
Commenting on the proposed
tPhillies scouting staff, Joseph Rear
don, new head of the clubs farm
system, said, The number of scouts
will probably be increased from
three to eight or nine men.
Well need new men if We operate
at Bradford, Pa. in the Pony League
There will have to be enough players
to put an entire new team on the
field there. At Utica, in the Eastern
League, we have only half dozen
/ players. and the same thing is true

Sought by Pennock of Phi|s

at Wilmington, in the Interstate

Pennock admitted that the Phil

for the next seasons team, but added
IF they are little fellows we want
them with speed and plenty Of
power"
Il guess I'm partial to big players
because I was with the Yankees. -
Pennock said. Every time turned
around there I bumped into men
like Bill Dickey, Lou Gehrig and Bob
Meusel."
Pennock didn't say whether the
Phillies had any particular scouts in
mind, but Indicated the club has
plenty of applications for the posi-
tions. The present Phillies' scouts
are Cy Morgan, Ted McGrew and
Jocko Collins.

Miss Mullin, he said, is the daugh-

Galatea, Cinderella and Eliza Doo-

She was just a wonderfully dutiful
Mullin daughter until several years
ago when her father bid her come
and visit him in Ireland. Mother
Mullin thought that would be q
foolish thing to do and said no.

Theatre Workers Score Legislators
State Convention Raps General Assembly For Failing To Pass State Labor Act; Seek Repeal Of
 Smith Connaly Bill; Notify GEL.

The State Association of Motion Picture Machine Operators and Stage Employees, has gone unani- mousIy on record as cOndemning the refusal of the 1943 session of the General Assembly to pass the proposed State Labor Relations Act, and U. s. Congressmen for passing the Smith COnnally anti strike bill.
 Resolutions on both subjects were passed at the semi-annual convention of the State Association meeting in New Haven. Both will be presented to the 58th annual convention of the Conn. Federation of Labor when it meets in the Elm City, Sept. 7-9, at the Garde Hotel.
 ''It is the unanimous opinion of this convention" reads the resOlu- ton on the labor relation act ''that there is no reason why the act pre- scented by the Conn. Federation of Labor to the General Assembly should not have been passed. The Republican party which was in con- trOl of both Houses of the Legisla- ture as we'll as the administration, must take the full responsibility for its defeat"
 The resolution condemning the passage of the Smith Connally act calls for memoralizing the GEL. convention on the matter and for petitioning the Connecticut delegation in Congress to work for the repeal of the measure. Letters will be sent to each representative and senator, condemning those who voted for the anti-strike bill and thanking those who voted against it.

There are no medals and very little glory for the soldiers on the production line. But they can know the great satisfaction that comes from a job we'll done. And that is American labor's position today. Indeed, on this Labor Day of l943, American labor celebrates with the full knowledge that it has done and is doing a job which has earned the respect and gratitude not only of the people of America, but of our allies all over the world.
 In all of the other Allied Nations soldiers of production are also on the job, fully realizing how great a re- sponsibility they bear for the eventual victory of the cause of freedom. 1 have visited these men and women in all parts of the world-I have seen them carry on in England in the face of terrifying bombardments; in China in hastily thrown together plants that
