Football Star, Missing
After Plane Crash
Westinghouse Finished
Army Air School Course
In Alabama March IS

Second 1t. Wilmeth Sidat- Singh,
former Syracuse football star and a
District policeman until his enlist
ment in the Army Air Forces last
summer, was still being sought to-
day after his single-seater pursuit
plane caught fire and crashed in
Saginaw Bay off Lake Huron
yesterday.
The missing airman's mother, a
War Department employe residing
at 610 r street NV, was notified
of the crash last night but had
heard nothing further from Army
officials today. 1t. Sidat-Singh, Is.
was an only child and the adopted
son of DR.. Samuel STATESMEN of
New York.
Bailed Out of Plane.
Headquarters at Selfridge Field,
Mich, where the flyer was sta
toned, reported witnesses had seen
him bail out of his plane but neither
his body nor his chute could be
found despite an intensive search
of the area The plane sank i'm
medlately. leaving large Oil slick
about mile off shore.
Assigned to the 3O1st Fighter
Squadron of the 332d Fighter Group,
1t. Sidat-Singh had transferred to
Selfridge Field only five days ago
from Tuskegee, Ala, where he grad
uated from the Army Flying School
March Is. He was on a routine
training flight at the time of the
crash.
The flyer was rated one of the
best of modern colored athletes,
reaching the zenith of his career
on the gridiron in 1898 when he
spanked last-minute Syracuse
aerial attack that netted three
touchdowns in less than nine
minutes and defeated Cornell, 1917.
He was prominently mentioned for
all-America honors that season.
Native of Washington.
1t. Sidat-Singh later played pro-
fessional basket ball with the world
champion Washington Bears after
returning to Washington and taking
up his residence with his mother.
A reputation as keen shot and able
floor general had preceded him, but
he lived up fully to his advance
notices.
He was born in Washington but
his youth was spent in New York,
where he starred in sports on the
Clinton High School teams. While
at Syracuse he was rated on the
same plane with Fritz Pollard and
other colored gridiron stars of for
mer years although passing was his
strong suit.

Calls on Los Angeles
Employees to Walk Out.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 10-Eli Shamus,
vice president of the Independent
Communications Guild, an indie
pendent Union, said last night he
had called on Los Angeles employees
OF Press Wireless, Inc, to join in a
strike of 1875 persons in New York
City and Hicksville and Baldwin, N.
Y. He said there were about so en-
ployes in Los Angeles.
He said the West Coast employees
called on to strike are engaged In
communications work. Mr.. Shamus'
statement was made a short time
after Boyd King, personnel director
for the management, issued state
ment saying the dispute involved
Chronic absenteeism" and that
wages were not involved.
The guild vice president, however,
declared the strike resulted from the
arrangements attempt to evade
various contract stipulations. One
of them, he added, was the changing
OF one position ito evade a wage
clause" in the union contract.
Among employees on strike were

transmission of Office of War In
formation messages and press dis
patches filed by news associations.
Mr.. King said the services ARE going
forward with but slight modifca-
tion." He said the company did not
anticipate strike of employees In its
manufacturing division.
Mr.. Shamus said the Office of War
Information had queried the guild
on the status of the strike and that
he had offered to permit the trans
mission of all Government messages
provided union stipulation was met.
That stipulation. he added. was
that sufficient union men should
return to work to insure Owl trans
mission only if all supervisors and
non-union workers were prevented
from substituting in work normally
carried out by the men on strike.

House Reported Ready
To Try 10 Scutt|e
Anti-Strike Bill
Campaign Being Mapped
To Load Senate Measure
With Labor Curbs
By the Associated Press.

bS INC hSSOCldlCu FIeSS
A move to scuttle the Connally
anti-strike, plant-seizure bill under
the weight of far-reaching amend
ments restricting the wartime activ-
tiles of labor organizations was re-
ported developing today in the
House.
Influential lawmakers, long re-
garded as friendly to the cause of
labor groups, were mapping quiet
campaign to sit tight while the
amendments are offered on the
theory the Senate will reject the
measure If it is returned to that
chamber with drastic changes. The
Senate approved the measure last
week by an overwhelming majority.
Outcome Uncertain.
The outcome of the battle-one
which has engrossed congressional
attention ever since the shutdown
of the coal mines-remained I'M
certain, but there appeared every
likelihood that a bill to curb labor's
rights would emerge eventually
from the House.
That view was reported by one
Of the Understanding administra-
ton spokesman in the House, who
declared that "a wartime labor bill
banning normal labor privileges is
certain of passage"
Declining use Of his name, he re-
called that the House, even before
Pearl Harbor, had passed anti-strike
legislation, only to see it die in the
Senate.
Meanwhile, there was labor legis-
lation consideration on several
fronts, with the likelihood that the
proposals may emerge in the form
of substitutes or amendments to the
Connally bill, If and when it reaches
the House floor
Might Scrap Measure.
The House Military Affairs Com
mittee, 70 whom the Connally bill
was referred, was reported ready to
scrap it in favor of much wider legis-
lation to outlaw strikes altogether.
Some legislators were discussing the
ACCESSIBILITY of offering an amend
ment which would give strikers
choice between joining the armed
forces or working.
The Judiciary Committee studied
a measure to prevent unions from
making financial contributions to
political campaigns, and still pend
ing before the Rules Committee is
bill designed to curb absenteeism in
war industries by requiring en-
ployers to report every three months
to local draft boards the names of
workers absent without cause.

whole purpose of my existence
has met, and passed, its climax.
AT any rate, that is the best ex-
PLANTATION can provide for my
present compulsion to set down
these facts upon paper.
1t is no doubt odd, at the age
OF "a, to be man who has
completed his work upon this
earth, to be sitting beneath the
awning which covers the after
deck of his yacht. glancing out
over the blue waters of the
timeless sea, and dwelling upon
memories after the fashion of an
ancient veteran of long forgot
ten wars. But such, alas, is the
truth of it.
Really? Well, perhaps within
a certain while I shall hitch my
wagon to another star. Though
no star in all the heavens could
be so glitteringly compelling as
the last one. The pursuit Of no
dream so fascinating, SO magnif-
icently satisfying, as that which

he did not lose his elegance.
