NEW YORK, Dec 18.-Byron Mel
son. who averaged less than 10
strokes for 78 rounds of big-time
tournament golf, is 1944's athlete Of
the year.
Seventy-Eine sportwriters through
out the country, who scattered
their affections on 40 different
athletes, thought enough of Nelson's
efforts, however, to name him as the
successor to Gunder Haegg, Swe-
den's miller, who was last years
winner.
Nelson's smooth -as-silk perform
ance on the fairways brought him
more than $45,0O0 in War Bond
prizes as well as 16 first-place votes
in the present tabulations. Each
such ballot was worth three points,
two points for each second place
vote and one for third-place mem
ton.
Marion q Close Second.
The Toledo SHOEMAKER, who re-
Gently resigned his post to join an
umbrella firm, finished with rs
points, only five ahead Of Martin
(Slats) Marion, Mr.. Shortstop for
the st. Louis Cardinals, recently
named the most valuable player in
the National Baseball League.
Les Horvath, Ohio States all
America quarterback and the Heis-
man Trophy winner, was third with
SO points and is the leading anna
teur. The play-for-fun athletes
have topped the poll seven times in
the last decade with only Joe Louis
in 1885 and Joe Dt Maggie in 1e41
crashing through from the salaried
ranks.
Nelson Is the second golfer to have
reached the pinnacle In the 14-year
history Of the poll, having been pre-
ceded by Gene SaraZen in 1892.

The paper is THE SPOTLIGHT,

about the anti-labor policies of Mont

Of the French coast at a specific time.
Once they had set their own date for
the invasion, the Nazis waited for
time to dash the hopes raised by this
propaganda and pounce on patriots
who revealed themselves in anticipa-
tion of the invasion"
Another method has been for the
Gestapo to publish fake editions of
the underground newspapers, using
familiar type and anti-Nazi headlines
to attract readers and then misleading
the readers with false information
buried in the stories.
Recently the British radio broad
cast to occupied France a statement
by the French Committee on National
Liberation warning the people against
the latest trick being used by the
Nazis-he circulation of a false story
that man named "Fernet", repre-
sented as delegate-generar' of the
FCNL, had come to France.
"This is a new ruse en- the part of
the enemy, intended to bring patriots
into the hands of instigators," said

Karker, who was highly praised in
congress was no "bureaucrat" or pro
fessor" or "starry-eyed-idealis He
was the chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the Jewel Tea Company,
another big business man. His first
assistant was Albert ]. Browning, an
engineer, sales manager for large
electric supply companies, another big
business man. They had many sub
ordinates and probably some of them
may have become nauseated by the
exhibition of greed. Complaint
against some of the workers may
have been justified.
"One company" reported Browning,
had total sales before renegotiation
of S51, ,000 900 and profits of $31,700,-
900 before taxes The net profits
after taxes were $5,964,000. After re-
negotiations the sales we're adjusted
downward to $27 ,2S5, 900 and the prof
its after taxes were S1,5OO,OOO. The
capital invested was $1,371 ,000."
More than 1907 net profit-after

of its profits out of war!
This particular machine tool COM

they paid $5,000,00O in dividends, and
they have $15,OOO,OOO of net worth

Karker said, "a different one from
this (the one with hundreds of per

they must be allowed in 1941 and 1912
to make 20 years normal profits,

The renegotiation issue is simple.
1t is a legal issue but more than that,
it is a moral issue, a test of the de-

Contractors practically fix their own
prices and profits 1t is only fair
and truthful to say that most of the
contractors were taking business
where they had no experience, where
they had no yardstick to measure
prices or profits. The profits, with
rare exception, were tremendous.
Finally, congress decided that war
contracts should be revised and 800
of the contractors agreed it was adj
visable to cut prices and profits. Forty
percent of the contractors co-operated
and their profits were fair enough
they needed no revision. About 500

CHILD LABOR
ON INCREASE
IN MONTANA

Henry A. Yeager, inspector in
charge for the Montana Division OF
Labor said today that the Division OF
Labor issued 2,96S age certificates
during 1943, which represents an in
crease of AGO per cent over 1912 He
also reported that the certificates is
sued in 1943 was 256 per cent greater
than the total certificates issued dur
ing 1889, 1910, 1941, and 1912 COM
of children in Montana has increased
at an alarming rate during the past
year Yaeger said, however, that al
though with this increase in the en-
ployment of children, child labor law
violations in Montana has increased
only about 500 as compared to the
national average of 123%.
Mr.. Yaeger also reported that ac-
cording to reports from the Montana
Industrial Accident Board to the Di-
vision of Labor, a total of 112 chill
dren were injured during 1943 as re-
ported by employers covered by Indus
trial Accident Insurance.
The Division of Labor has no sta
tistics nor any means of determining
how many children were injured while
they were in the employ of persons
not carrying insurance, but it is esti-
mated from reliable sources that
there are hundreds of employers not
carrying any form of accident insur-
ance in Montana and on this basis
figures show that approximately one
child out of every three under the
age of Is years employed during 1943
was injured in some way.

tween the ages of 8 and Is years of
