"They were fast and good bunters," he recalls, "and although they hated like hell to lose, they were always bending over backwards with diplomacy" Paige's experience recalls that of Lefty ODoul, once great Dodger swatter, who clubbed Jap pitchers all over the lot during major league exhibition games in Japan in 1882. Lefty's slugging made him a national hero to the Japs.

Johnson and Singer Star

The Bradley Field Base basket ball team opened it's season last night by defeating the Pennington All Stars at Pennington 50-25. The game was played before a roaring crowd of 200 people who packed the new gym for the opening game of the season. Dewey B. Johnson scored the first basket for Bradley to set the pace for his team mates and from then on the issue was never in doubt. Singer, playing left forward, seemed to be all over the court at all times scoring 10 points for the winners making him high scorer for the evening. Gut koIwski and LaCicere were out standing defensively holding Farm ington we'll in hand throughout the game. Francis, Stetson Markowicz played their hearts out in a losing cause and kept the game close for the better part of three periods. The Fighters play their second game of the season against the strong Contelco A.A. at Meriden, December 18th. The game will be preceded by a bond rally and fol- lowed by a dance.

Basketball Tourney. Draws 20 Entries;
 Fighters to Compete

MlICIlcAf r 1SIQt ANCW OIhS bN-3 cember 5-A basketball tourna- ment for teams representing bases in the First Air Force will be con- ducted during December 1914, and January and February, 1945, it was announced today by First Air Force Headquarters here. The championship base team. will be determined before the end of Feb ruary 1945, and it is expected that the more than twenty bases of the First Air Force from Massachu- sets to Georgia will participate in the tournament.
 According to the announcement the playing of the tournament will in no way interfere with the mili- tary mission of any of the air bases. At the present time the First Air Force is engaged in pre- pairing pilots, planes, and crews for combat. However, no combat crew trainees or flying personnel in groups will be used on any of the base teams.
 In order to facilitate the opera tion of the tournament the First Air Force will be divided into geo. graphic sections. Bases located in each section will compete for the sectional championship, and the winners of each section will play for the championship of the First Air Force. The basketball tourna- ment is a part of the First Air Forces extensive physical training program designed to fit men for combat and also aid in returning to normal health the wounded and battle-weary recuperating at sev- eral of it's bases.
 Among outstanding players on First Air Force base basketball teams are Sgt. Johnny Gutkowski, formerly of Manhattan College and now stationed at Bradley Field, Conn.,, Capt. William McCrockiin, All-American from Kentucky State Teachers College now at Chatham Field, Savannah, Georgia, and W/O Charles Mow of Manchester State College, Indiana, who is at present stationed at Mitchell Field, New York.
 In addition to the regular tournament games to be played by the various First Air Force base teams, schedules include engage ments with Fordham University at Mitchell Field, Georgia Tech at Chatham Army Air Field, and Am- herst at Westover Field, Mass.

Labor Regulations
Trouble Merchant

H. j. Gingles, general retail and
wholesale merchant at Benton, feels
particularly resentful over the Wage
and Hour law and unemployment
compensation. One employee who
was discharged for drunkenness re-
ceived unemployment compensation.
Two women who remained away
from work for several months to
have babies drew unemployment
compensation, quite illegally, but
the fact that they could do so with
impunity disturbs him.
But all of Benton is not against
the New Deal. The town is close to
the bauxite mining region dominat-
ed by the operation of the Alumni
mum Company of America. In this
area are several thousand people
who work in the aluminium mines
and the great government alumina
plant near the town of Bauxite.
To this region the Aluminium
Workers Of America, a CLIO union,
sent young man by the name OF
r. w. Goddard about two years ago.
Under his leadership as business
agent, Locals %, %, 50 and 80 have
been organized. He says they in
clude most of the aluminium work
ers of the area.
Il can't speak officially about the
politics Of our members" said Mr..
Goddard but l think can say
unofficially that for the most part
they are satisfied with the New Deal.
A big percentage are native to Ar

They we're born Democrats and re-
main so. think they feel that the
New Deal has truly tried to protect
the workers interest"

lnf1ammabllity.
Perhaps the Republican farmers
around Ava are less inclined to be
violently inimical to the New Deal
than the Democratic farmers around
Benton.
Opposition to the New Deal springs
far less from party aff1liation than it
does from resentment against multi
pie restrictions and regulations.
Opposition also rises from a
deep-seated idea that the Democrat
ic leaders in Washington are more
interested in building power for
themselves than in rendering prac-
teal service to the people-at least
to the hardest working and most in
telligent elements OF the people.
These attitudes may be right or
wrong-but they are the way more
and more people in rural districts
feel about it. In fact. in Arkansas
feeling has risen so high among
those who have voted the Democrat
ic ticket all their lives that
the situation has aspects Of an in
cipient rebellion. Farmers have
openly written defiant letters to fed
eral authorities challenging them to
come and enforce the law.
Lawrence B. Burrow, Little Rock
attorney to whom Benton merchants
go for legal advice, summed up the
situation thus:
Many small business men are
getting their affairs in shape so they
can quit after the war They are
the backbone Of this part of the
country, but Washington hasn't
learned it yet Between high taxes
and all kinds Of restrictions, Wash
ington has built up a psychology OF
resentment that in every way is
comparable to the attitude of the
American colonies toward King.
George III. You can 60 back and
read the speeches of Patrick Henry,
and you'll discover that he felt ex-
actly sas most OF the merchants and
farmers Of Arkansas feel today"
Arkansas farmers and business
men have gotten to the point where
they pay very little attention to many
federal regulations. Bootlegging OF
grain and other farm commodities
above ceiling prices is said to be
the usual practice, rather than the
