Plea 10 Stain Seen
In Polish Crisis
Two Reported to Have
Agreed on Course in
Trying to Heal Rift

LONDON, April 29.-Prime

between Russia and the London
Polish government-in-exile.
Some sources declared a persona
appeal would be made to Premier
Stain of Russia to cooperate in the
move.
1t was understood on good author
tty here that either-or perhaps both
the British and American Ambas-
sadors were scheduled to confer with
Stain, and no further conferences
were planned here currently.
However, British Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden and Ivan Maisky, the
Russian Ambassador to London
talked about the situation this
morning.
The Daily Mail said Mr.. Churchill
and Mr.. Roosevelt had been in direct
contact, presumably by trans-Atlan-
tic telephone.
The Russian government severed
relations with the Polish leaders
over the latters' request for the In
ternational Red Cross to investigate
German charges that 10000 Polish
officers had been slaughtered by the
Russians.
The London Polish government
reply last night did not reiterate the
request for an inquiry, but empha-
sized that the Polish government
had no claims to Soviet territory and
denied any Quisling-like dealings
with Germany.
The reply, however, also contained
an appeal for the release" of Poles

their families and thousands of
Polish orphans. and diplomatic cir

Stalin's Cooperation Sought.
Nevertheless, it was speculated
here that Stain was being asked
to cooperate to clear up what the
British and United States govern
ments realized was an unfortunate
break in the United Nations front,
caused by the Goebbels trick, which
must be trumped by a frank ex-
change of views among the Allies

Broadcasters Urge
Transcription Firms
To Fight Record Ban

Violated Labor Pledge
And Hurt War Morale
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April 29.-The Ma
tional Association of Broadcasters
announced today adoption of reso-
luton calling on the electrical
transcription industry to take such
measures under the law as may be
necessary to end the ban on trans
criptions imposed by James C. Pc
trlllo and his AFL American Fed
Grafton of Musicians.
The resolution asked the trans
scription companies, in their current
negotiations with Mr.. Petrillo. to
stand firm in their position so that
they will not give tacit or implicit
recognition to Mr.. PetriIo's union,
or to his equally false claim that the
industry owes an obligation to the
members of his union not employed
by it,
Charge Pledge Violation.
The resolution said the ban was
in violation of labors pledge to the
Nation, injured wartime morale and
inflicted grievous and unjustified
injuries on the broadcasting and
transcription industries"
Yesterday, at Government re-
quest, the second antitrust suit
against Mr.. Pettialo and the AIM

action by the Government.

In the second suit, however, the
Government charged the Petrillc
ban would destroy approximately
$50 independent radio stations re-

programs. Assistant United States
Attorney Daniel B. Britt said the
Government has until 1945 to prose

the unions answer to the second
suit was scheduled to be filed today
but with the dismissal, the way is
left open for the Government to
reflle a third suit if it desires.

that the Petrillo edict had cost
union members millions of dollars,
and that the radio industry wants

A report was given at the con-
ference on study designed to show
that unemployment among AIM
members 'is today virtually non

tended that the purpose of the ban
on recordings was to provide more
work for his musicians. The ATM
presidents offers to lift the ban If
members were given royalties ION all

CINCINNATI, Aug. Sit is be-
coming realized around the Ma
tional loop that the Cincinnati Reds,
whatever their faults, have the hot
test double-play combination of the
year and maybe of major league
history.
Miller, Frey and Mccormick can
be rubber stamped into practically
every box score. To. date Eddie,
Lonnie and Frank, with Bert Haas
contributing from third base, have
119 twin-killings, II in the past three
games.
The major league record is 1876.
set by the New York Yankees in
1941, and the National League rec
ord of 1874 is held by the Reds of
1928 and 1881.
The Reds look upon Frey in the
same light as such greats as the
late Miller Higgins and Hughie
Critz. their keystone stars of 1eO4-s
and 1924-30.
Partly on the basis of that and
partly on the current three-game
winning streak, Manager Bill Nc
kechnie Is wearing his Checked
suit with the runs in it" again. The
moths IN this masterpiece scarcely
have been disturbed since 1910,
when the Reds won their last pen

next Monday night at the ball park

Petro Is staging comeback after
being stopped by Jackie Wilson two
months ago. Idol of local boxing
fans. Danny was displayed as just
another promising local boy with
lots to learn. He learned lot that
night, including the fact that a
good left hand isn't enough to step
into boxing's upper brackets. A va

also help, and Petro and his mana

to develop Danny into a we'll

Early Wynn and Milo Candini will

Little Mickey Haefner unleashed
a Shit pitching job on the Browns
last night as the Mats captured a
4-3 verdict, with Gene Moore again
supplying most of the batting
heroics with single to right in
the third inning that scored George
Case and Vernon after Vernon's
single had scored Angelo Giuliani.
Haefner Hits in Big Run.
Haefner did himself no harm
with bat in his hands either. In
the fourth inning with two out and
Stan Spence perched on second base
as the result of single and Johnny
Sullivan's infield out, Haefner
parked a Denny Galehouse pitch in
the left field corner for a triple,
scoring Spence.
That, 1t developed, was the win
ming margin, for the Browns picked
up run when Chef Laabs tripled
and Haefner inserted wild pitch
in the seventh inning. George Nc
Quinn opened the ninth with a
single and after Laabs and frankie
Hayes had been retired the Browns
became troublesome.
Mark Christman thumped a dou-
BILE to center, scoring McQuinn, and
Mike Chartak slapped a single to
center, scoring Christman. With the
tying run on base, though, Haefner
whitfield third strike past Mike
Kreevich.
Haefner permitted only two hits
in the first six innings in snatching
his fifth win before 5,119 fans. He
walked only two and struck out
three. The Mats nicked Galehouse
and AL Hollingsworth for seven
hits. b. H.

Peggy, a slender, brown haired
miss, who holds the American So

the lead at the crack Of the gun,
taking the first lap from Miss
Fischer, with Betty ROLAND of the
Shoreham a short distance back.
At the turn she was yards to the

had another yard on the Shoreham

could not overtake the Goldsboro
