George Conner, the 210 pound
Holy Cross All-American foot
ball candidate, weighed but
THREE POUNDS at birth, and
was an incubator baby" for
several months. Last night he
was presented the George Bull
ger Lowe Memorial Trophy at
the Lenox, Boston. His uncle,
Rev. George Conner, of Holy
Name Church, Springfield, was
the standout speaker of the
party, because he was a Holy
Cross football captain in 1907;
a chaplain in the 1914-1918
World War and helped care for
the late IRON MAJOR Frank
Cavanaugh, after the latter was
wounded in France. A MILK
DIET helped save the life of the
three pound baby who Is now
one Of the best tackles Of 1943.
Several years ago someone tagged

"All-American WATER BOY" be-
cause his interest II. the high school
football and basketball teams from
the borough was so keen that he
did everything he could to get as
close as possible without going on
field or court, except when the ball
was not in play. Later, he decided
to become a selector of All-Amer1-
can football talent each season, and
from his 1894 selections, present.
ed herewith, you can see he really
knows his college gridders. How
many of his picks do you agree
with? Here they are:
Ends-Heywood of Southern Cal
and Yonakor of Notre Dame; tackles
OF Norre Dame ard Whit
mire of Navy; guards - Agase of
Purdue and Filley of Notre Dame;
center: Myslinskl, of Army; backs:
Oden of Pennsylvania at quarter
back; Prokop of Georgia Tech and
Miller of Notre Dame, halfbacks
and Bill Daley of Michigan at the
fullback post.

SISSY game, until one gets look
at it. Originally played outdoors,
and the fore runner of SIX MAN
football, the game is now played in
Waterbury's central "Y" by no less
than IL teams of more than 100
boys, mostly high school lads, who
are ZANY about the high speed and
action Of the game. OF course,
KICKING the ball and tackling Is
out, as 1t Is moved in the "Y" gym
by forward passes, but there are
SHOULDER BLOCKS thrown which
are OK. under the rules. FEET are

The Rev. Fletcher D. Parker loaded
his automobile today for a l4O-mile

garden at Sunapee, N. H., despite

that this had been Cancelled.
He said that permission had been
granted by John Richards, OPA

that it had been lin error"
Mr., Parker's family already is In

U. 5. Employees Union

Table Lawyers Bill
Fohy Defends Measure;
Veterans Ask Preference
Be Considered Further

Opposing the House-approved bill
to give statutory authority to the
Board Of Legal Examiners In the
Civil Service Commission, Charles
7. Stengle of the Federation Of Gov
ernment Employees (AFL, today
asked a special subcommittee OF
the Senate Civil Service Committee
to table the bill.
Mr.. Stengle was one Of several
opponents of the legislation present.
ing their views to the subcommittee
session attended by three Demo-
cratic members, Senators George of
Georgia. Byrd of Virginia and
Scrugham Of Nevada
Charles Fahy, solicitor general OF
the United States and chairman of
the Board of Legal Examiners, de-
Tended the measure and sought to
Justify its continued existence.
Veterans Express Doubts.
The spokesman for the Disabled
American Veterans and the Amer
lean Legion. who said they previ-
ously had hoped that a special
amendment inserted by the House
in the measure would protect the
rights Of the veterans, today ex-
pressed serious doubts and asked
further consideration for veterans
preference.
The pending legislation is designed
TO give statutory authority by the
board, appropriations for which
during the forthcoming fiscal wear
beginning July have been stricken
from two different appropriation
bills. Attorney General Biddle on
Saturday appealed for immediate
favorable action on the pending
bill.
Mr.. Stengle charged the proposal
was "disruptive." He pointed to the
proposal made by Attorney General
Biddle that the measure could be
amended to make the board subject
to the Civil Service Commissions
jurisdiction. Mr. Biddle's proposal,
Mr.. Stengle contended, made the
board itself unnecessary as its work
could be taken over by the Civil
Service Commission.
Veterans representatives were
L. S. Ray of the American Legion
National Legislative Committee and
Millard w. Rice of the Disabled
American Veterans.
First witness today was George
D. Riley of the Washington Times
Herald, who sharply criticized the
bill.
"Unranked Register"
Mr.. Fahy contended that the So
called "unranked register" of po-
tential Government lawyers set up
by the board was operating to i'm
prove the caliber of men in the
lower brackets"
If the board were abolished, he
predicted, the same work would
have to be thrown to the, Civil Serv-
Ice Commission requiring the same
amount Of personnel and appro-
priations.
Mr.. Fahy pointed to a report of
the House Civil Service Committee
on the measure, saying the COM
mittee had obtained rather IA
vorable impression of the work of
the Board in recent months but
prefers to withhold approval until
pending legislation on the matter is
favorably acted on"

TNthe language of the Navy ship is expend.
i able if it can be sacrificed to protect a
larger and more valuable force.
On the production front railroad cars and
coaches and engines are expendable-for to
those charged with winning the victory they
are less valuable these days than the materials
of war they carry.
Ask any traveller, or any shipper, or any
railroad employee about the war job being
done by these treless public servants of steel
and wood.
All previous performance records have
been broken and broken again. Despite the
fact that thousands of old cars and locomo.
tives have been brought back from retirement
and pressed into service, the. ton.miles of
are the highest in railroad history.
But the situation is not without its cost-to the
country as we'll as to the roads. For rails and
engines and cars wear out with use rather
than with age. And during the war they are
being consumed" at an enormous rate.

But if our railroads could pit a,vay in
tar.tree reserve the earnings that would now
be spent on such repairs (were it possible to
make them), it would help to solve the prob.
lem. After the war, when the work can be
done, the roads could put themselves back in
good order.
Ifthe railroads could make the repairs now,
the cost, of course, could be charged to their
normal expense of doing business. But be.
cause they cannot, the money is subject to
tax as profits"
No thinking American wants us to face our
postwar reconstruction with impoverished
and depleted railroads. And one of the best
ways to guard against it is to allow the rail.
roads to set aside now tax.free reserves for
deferred maintenance.
The iron horse is expendable in wartime.
But he is also indispensable to our future.
