Cincinnati Times-Star)
The National Labor Relations Board claims ur-
isdiction over Maryland Corporation the Baltimore
Transit Company, the grounds Cd that its street
cars carry workers in plants whose products are
shipped in interstate commerce; 90 that the cars
carry advertising cards of goods shipped in inter-
state commerce, and go that the company buys
of its Supplies outside the state That line of
reasoning if sustained would give the Federal Gov
eminent jurisdiction the Cincinnati Street Rail-
way Company, over every grocery store here and
elsewhere, and over just about everything else on
the map.
State rights would disappear and completely
centralized bureaucratic government would come in,
Washington making itself into another Berlin,
possibly minus the goosestep.
The ruling falls in with other matters current:
among them, the attempt of the War Labor Board
to tell New Jersey city what sort of wage scale
it should have with its employees, and the decree of
the Securities and Exchange Commission that every
corporation should inclose with the call for its
nual stockholders meeting any memorandum of not
more than 100 words submitted by qualified stock
holder, even If every word falsehood, a libel
upon itself and its officials, upon others.
What these matters sum up to is that while the
Army and Navy are doing splendid job in meeting
and wearing down the enemy, and while the business
men in the Governments production agencies
are doing just about well. the original New Dealers
keep pegging away-"boring' is better word--in

BUSINESS AIRS: This

conditions OF grave concern to
many manufacturers. Great wis

NATIONAL ISSUES: When mil

citizens of every class, those who
read the stars emphasize, as they

Charles c. Peterson, the worlds fancy shot billiard champion will give an exhibition of his cue skill here on Friday, Dec. 1T, at 2030 hours at the Recreation Hall.
 Peterson will devote his show to demonstration of billiard funda- mentals, designed to show the be- ginner how to approach the game; open his bag impossible" shots, and perform the favorite shots of such champions at Willie Hoppe, Jake Schaefer, IT,, Welker Coch- ran and others.
 Pete is touring American colleg- es and Army and Navy posts as billiard missionary, under the aus pices of the Billiard Association of America. His tour has the approv- al of the Army and Navy officials and the association of College Unions.

He is, perhaps, the most amaz- ing billiard player of all time ,de- voting his skill to fancy shots that make the spectator say, "impos- sible" even after he has seen the shot with his own eyes.
 Petersan is enthusiastic about his appearances before men in mil itary service, since he believes bil- lizards can do a lot to fill up the leisure time of these fellows, and he is confident that new stars in the sport will emerge from men who learn the game while in train ing.
 Last year he appeared before 200 college groups and army and navy audiences, and he expects to fill 25O engagements during his 1942-1943 tour. He played before 100000 billiard enthusiasts last season.
Bradley beam., 1943-12-11

The League has some thrilling James, as those who are on hand, con- stantly, can vouch for. Some of the most impossible shots have been buck eted and the closeness of the games has made them exciting to watch. While the League can't compare with the Eastern Intercollegiate League in basketball caliber, still the games should attract more interest from the standpoint of the enlisted man. Come cut to the games and root for your team. Next Friday nights game be- tween the Ordnance and Finance should be a humdineer as neither team has as yet tasted defeat.
