At a recent toy dog show held in

of the downtown hotels. The re-
porter asked the elevator operator
where the dog show was being held
and was directed to certain room.
In the room were many cages and a
lot OF people. He did not see any
dogs but since it was toy dog show
he assumed they were all in the
cages. He asked for the secretary
and spent some hours taking down

Film Extortion Case
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec 23.-Six men,
described by the Government as
members of AL Capone's Chicago
gang, and a Newark IN. j. official
| of the AFL international Alliance
of Theatrical Stage Employees were
convicted last night Of attempted
extortion of $1,000,000 from the mo-
tion picture industry.
The seven, found guilty by Fed
eral jury of nine women and three
men, each face a possible maximum
sentence of 10 years imprisonment
and $4,000 fine.
The jury, which has been sitting
for II weeks, deliberated 10 hours
and l3 minutes. A separate verdict
was returned for each defendant
A jury poll showed each decision
was unanimous.
Sentencing was set for December
80 by Judge John Bright, who de-
ferred hearing any motions until
that date. Acting over the opposi-
ton of the prosecution, Judge Bright
continued the men in bail, setting
them at liberty for Christmas
The defendants were Louis Cam
pagna, Philip DAndrea, Francis
Maritote. Charles Gioe and Paul De
Lucia. all of Chicago; John Roselli
OF Los Angeles and Chicago and
Louis Kaufman, business agent OF
the IATSE Newark local.
Bond for Kaufman had been set

at $25 900. The six other men had
been free on 100000 bond each.
The trial began October 5.
Eighty-one witnesses were called
and 100000 words Of testimony were
recorded by court stenographers. I.
The prosecution charged that the
seven men were the higher ups"
supporting Willie Bioff and George
E. Browne, labor leaders who were
convicted Of extortion two years ago
and now are serving prison senes
tences. y
Biof and Browne we're principal
Government witnesses at the trial.
The Government contended that
the defendants coerced and ter.
rorized motion picture executives
to get their demands.
| Several Of Hollywood's top execu-
tives were called to the stand DUR
ing the trial to testify that they
paid because of their fear of the
defendants.
I The defense argued that the pay
ments by producers to Biof and
Browne were bribes to avoid labor,

Ford Officials AssaiI
Labor Management
Article by WPB Aide
By the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Dec. 23.-Ford Motor
Co. ofncials, in replying to an article
in publication of the War Produc-
ton Board, termed the labor -man-
agement program a political vehicle
designed long time ago in an effort
to push labor farther into the man
agemene of industry
The article, appearing in the
Labor Management News, criticized
Henry Ford, president of the Ford
Motor Co., and Alfred P. Sloan,
chairman of General Motors Corp,
for giving only superficial atten-
ton" to the Labor Management
Committee plan.
Sloan Cites G.. M. Record.
Earlier Mr.. Sloan had replied to
the criticism by saying, General
Motors Is proud Of its war effort
1t stands on the record-the record
of the magnitude of it's expanding
war production, of the quality of its
war products, Of the low cost and
efficiency of its operations, and its
cooperation with the armed forces
All this reflects the morale and
effectiveness of its organization *s.'
Ford officials asserted further:
The idea given in the press when
this program was explained was that
the unions wanted to sit with man.
agement on $3.50 basis in the dis.
cussion OF production and other
problems. Actually, since in our
plants union membership is COM
pulsory, such program would give
the unions practical control of the
operation of the plants.
Big Bundle Of Authority.
That's a pretty big bundle of
authority to concentrate in a group
whlcn is not contributing one cent
OF finance; not assuming any of the
responsibility; and which has
notning much to offer in the way
OF experience or ability along man
agement lines.
1t should be borne in mind. too
that labor-management committees
mean giving practical control to .
group which does not account tn
any one for its income, nor does it
pay taxes. How Government can
condone the association of two such
opposite types of operating agencies
Is more than we can see"

As York Tops Loop
Al Batting in Runs
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Rudy York Of the Detroit Tigers,
fellow who annually boosts his
RBI quota by sending himself across
home plate with liberal portion of
home. runs, won the 1943 American
League runs-batted-in title with 118,
official averages released today show
Hitting 10 less than Boston's Ted
Williams did in taking the 1912
knock 'em in" crown, York, never
theless, was II ahead of Nick Etten
of the New York Yankees, who
grabbed runnerup honors with LOT
RIBS. Those two players, Incl
dentally. were the only ones to top
the 100 level, whereas five did so
last year.
York Also Home Run King.
York, who also won the home run
championship with "a, marked this
down as the fifth time in his eight
major league seasons that he had
topped the 100 RBI level, although
his 1943 quota was considerably
under his own best high of 134 made
for the 1910 championship Detroit
team. This was Etten's first time in
five seasons in excess of 100.
Other substantial runs -batted-in
totals were compiled by the Yankees
rookie third baseman, Bill Johnson,
with "a; Vern Stephens of st. Louis,
81; Stan Spence of Washington, who
was fifth, with 88: Charley Keller
of New Work, with 86, and Jim
Tabor of Boston and Chet Laabs of
St. Louis, with IS apiece.
Keller was top man in drawing
bases on balls, with l06-again far
below the 1912 high set by Williams
of 145-but the Yankee outfielder
was in class by himself, as no other
player reached the 100 level. Joe
Gordon of the Yanks walked SO
times and Roy Cullenbine of Cleve-
land, 96.
Credit for being hit the most times
by pitched balls went to Mickey
Vernon of Washington, with 10, while
last years most frequent target,
Frank Crosetti of New York, tied
with Joe Kuhel of Chicago with
seven.
Laabs Fans 105 Times.
Only two players topped the 100
mark in strike outs, Laabs tanning
105 times and Joe Hoover of Detroit,
101 times.
When it came to hitting or not
hitting into infield double plays, the
boys did things in record fashion.
Jim Bloodworth of the Tigers
grounded into twin killings 29 times,
more than the old mark, and
Tony Lupien of Boston hit into only
three for a new low, the previous
record for $50 or more games being
five.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-Maj. John L.
Griffith believes the Western Con-
ference has proved the value of con-
tinuing wartime football and that
colleges which suspended the sport
will flock back into the fold in 1914.
Many schools have realized they

spectators in home games this fall,
profited enough financially to assure

Football Has Paying Year.
Football was so successful, he
added, that it also had paid the
expense of installing physical tough
enlng courses for civilians at each
Big Ten school The cost of these
courses ranged from $4,000 to $40. 900
apiece.
The Big Ten didn't have the ma
terial it has enjoyed in the last three
or four years. but the fans didn't
notice it." Griffith observed. That

Coaches and athletic directors were
extremely pleased with the caliber of
competition and with the attendance
We've moved over our biggest
hurdle-l943 was a test year-and

Agree With Navy Policy.
A survey of football by Griffith in
IL Midwestern States showed:
Ninety-eight per cent of the fans
were in agreement with the Navy
policy which permits VIZ students
to compete on varsity teams.
Ninety-eight per cent thought II
and l8 year-old boys on college
teams showed up we'll with older
teammates and against older oppo-
nents.
Ninety eight per cent believed
football should be continued in 1914
and that college tions
should be urged to keep intercol-
legiate programs operating for the
duration.
The poll disclosed that 48 per cent

Year after year the same people
show up at the kennel clubs and
at the dog shows Sporadically new
faces appear with some of them
absorbed into the fancy and others
disappearing after a time or two
One often wonders whether the old
timers, the people who support the
kennel clubs, support the shows,
support the various breeds, are at
tracted to dog showing by love OF
dogs, love of excitement incident to
any phase of show activities or stick
to it because of business In most
cases the business theory can be
eliminated. Few of the local
kennel club members, for instance
are professional breeders or kennel
owners. Some own only one or two
dogs and some do not own any
Yet there are many fanciers in the
Washington area who have been
members of kennel clubs and ex-
hibitors for 10 or more years. At
least two local exhibitors have shown
and bred dogs for over 40 years
Probably the abiding attraction in
dog breeding and dog showing is
the combination OF creativeness
called forth in trying to improve a
breed and competition in the show
ring. But above all is the love of
man for dog and dog for man.
Covering dog show for a news
paper is much more of a tricky busi-
ness than many editors realize.
Sometimes the mistakes in the dog
show catalogue are responsible for
