WLB And FDR Expected To
Meet Demands For Bredk
In Wage Formula

Washington, ID. C.--Launching the
final phase Of the American Fedora
zion Of Labors fight to break the wage
freeze, AFL Secretary Treasurer
George Meany told the War Labor
Board action is overdue to remedy in
justice to the nations workers and to
safeguard America from postwar
depression.
At the conclusion of the Boards
public hearings it will submit re-
port to President Roosevelt making
recommendations with regard to the
future of the Little Steel formula.
Indications are that the Board will
urge relaxation of the formula and
that the President will authorize such
action within the next few weeks.
Mr.. Meany, in opening the AFL case
against the wage-freeZe, charged that
it not only has reduced the real income
of the nations wage earners but that
it is unjust to the millions of workers
now serving in the armed forces, who
have every reason to expect their gov
ernment To honor its promise that II
would maintain their living standards"
in their absence.
THE long delay that has ensued
since the filing of this petition by the
American Federation of Labor mem
bers of the Board merely compounds
these injustices that the nations
workers and fighters have suffered"
Mr.. Meany added.
Mr.. Meany laid special emphasis on
the disastrous effects of the wage
freeze on post war economic conditions.
Full production and employment after
the war ends, he insisted depends en-
tirely on the maintenance of the pur
chasing power of the nations con
sumers, which is impossible with in
adequate wages.
I'VE can not afford to wait until we
are suddenly thrown into the postwar
period to decide what to do about
wages. Unless we act before victory
has been achieved, the question of
wages in the vital reconversion period
will he left to be decided by the eco

50 weeks, depending upon length of
active service. In case of partial EN-
ployment, the amount of wages for the
week in excess of SO is deducted from
the allowance
Basis OF Payments
Within the 50 weeks limit, the total
eligibility is determined by allowing 8
weeks of allowances for each of the
first months of active service and'4
weeks of allowances for each month
or major fraction thereof of active
service after September 16, 194O.i For
this purpose the month begins with
the first day of active service; thus a
person who served from September 16,
1913, to January Is, 1914, would have
exactly 4 months of active service and
be entitled, if otherwise eligible to 2S
weeks of allowances.
TO be eligible the applicant must
have served i'm the armed forces az
least 80 days unless sooner discharged
for Il disability incurred in service in
line of duty must have been on active
duty after Sept. 16, 1910, and prior to
the termination of the present war
and must have been discharged or re-
leased from active service under con-
ditiOns other than dishOnOrable.

Loncers Win
Over Southinqton

In the sectional play-off last
night at the Central Y. M. c. A. in
the State Junior League tournament
the Lancers Hi-Y team defeated the
Southington Boys team by the
score Of 24-15.
In the opening first quarter, it
was Mucci of the visitors who scored
the first point with foul shot, then
Miller Of the locals fired in bas-
ket to put the locals out ahead.
Pidge of the Lancers found the bas-
ket twice to end the period with
the Lancers ahead GA.
In the next quarter both teams
played defenSively and the score
ending up in a tie, 10 all. In the
second half the Lancers really start
ed to play the brand of ball that
made them the Hi-Y winners this
year and went out ahead in the
third quarter with WilkoWski Mil
Ter and Mccormick each finding
the hoop to put the locals out
ahead by the score of 1914. Morelli,
the stellar guard, played a good de-
fensive game and kept the out-of-
towners from scoring. Pidge was
the high scorer for the Lancers with
IL points collected while Mucci OF
Southington was the high man with

Anything but that! Man O'War
earned $249,4 in 1919 and 1920,
but what could another Man O'War
win in the next few years?
Let's see In 1881 Top Flight
earned $4,000 as q two-year-
and In the year before, Gallant
Fox won 1908, 275, as a three-year-
old. That means super" horse
could possibly earn 100000 before
entering the handicap ranks. Some
thing OF a feat, We must admit, yet
1t Is possible. II he were to con-
tinue the pace, as a four-year-old,
he could win the Dixie. Massachu-
sets Handicap, Trenton Handicap,
Suburban, Arlington Handicap
Washington Park Handicap, Nara
gansett Special and one or two
others. If that super" horse start
ed this year as a two-year- old. the
chances are good that the 100000
Santa Anita Handicap would be
back on the schedule by the time
he was retired early in his five
year-old career.
Such horse--a real champion, of
nourse-could pass the million dol
ar mark and, in the doing, take

1hich are at the highest levels

KIDS FROM UTAH
DEFEAT FAMED
DARTMOUTH
BY JOE JAMES CUSTER

New York. March 29-(UP)-
Utah's Stout-hearted Cinderella
kids" after a gruelling overtime
game last night, were the new ma
tional collegiate basketball cham
pions today and the rnystified gym
handles" from Dartmouth still Won
dered what had hit them.
Dartmouth, the professionally
smooth club, failing for the fourth
straight year to annex the N. C.
A. A. title, lost In a heart-throbbing
finale to the freshman-studded
westerners, AZ to 40, in a game that
kept the 1890 fans at Madison
Square Garden standing from start
to finish.
The victorious westerners play ST.
Johns university of Brooklyn, win
ner Of the national invitation meet,
for the mythical national cham
pionship" in a Red Cross benefit
game tomorrow night.
Utah was an eight point under
dog, the team that didn't belong"
the team that returned here after
being eliminated from the invita-
ton finals week ago.
No Chance?
The UteS, last minute entries in
the N. C. A. A. western finals at
Kansas City, Mo-, when Arkansas
withdrew because two Of its players
were injured and an assistant
was killed, wasn't conceded an out
side chance of beating the proficient
New Englanders.
1t was the biggest upset since the
inception Of the annual national
title series in 1899, since Dartmouth
with 10 victories and only one de-
feat prior to the assignment last
night had outclassed all collegiate
opposition.
Victory was achieved only In the
final second of the five minute over
time when Herb wilkinson, long
shooting guard, thrust q desperate
one-handed shot at the basket and
1t went through.
The teams were tied at SO all at
the end OF the regulation playing
time and desperate Dartmouth
forged ahead briefly with a free
throw by substitute Walt Mercer.
Arnold Ferrin, Utah forward and
high point man with % points,
calmly labeled in two one-handed
free shots, but Aud Brindley, Dart
mouths captain and center, knotted
1t again with another free throw.
Fouls came on almost every play
as the time waned and Ferrin calm
ly dropped two more free throws to
make it 1913 for Utah, but Brind-
ley deadlocked the score again at
4O-40 with a pivot shot basket, set
ting up Wilkinson's game winning
goal.
Nip and Tuck
The game was contested bitterly
from the start with Dartmouth
ahead Is to II at half time and
with the lead changing hands seven
times in five minutes. Utah suf-
fered what appeared a crushing set
back IN the first five minutes when
Fred Shefdeld, their top scorer and
play maker suffered twisted ankle
and was REPLACED by diminutive
Walt Misaka, Japanese-America
player from Hawaii Misaka, an ex-
cellent retriever, despite his size, be-
came the outstanding defensive
player on the floor with Ferrin
handling the bulk of the offensive
burden.
Brindley led the losers in scoring
with IL points with forward Bobby
Gale counting 10.

New York, March 29.-(UP)-
Mike Della, on the biggest day OF
his life, says, IT believe Juan zurita
can lick Beau Jack at Madison
Square Garden Friday night"
Della speaks with authority Of
the lightweight division-the golden
division of boxing today-because
Cd He is a lightweight who fig
ures he can beat anyone in the
135-pound class, and ca He has
seen both Beau Jack and Zurita
in several bouts.
This is the most important day
in Delia's life because half of his
contract was bought last night by
Milton Berle, comedy star Of stage,
screen and radio; and because he
was matched for an all-important
fight with Young Ike Williams at
the Philadelphia Arena on April II.
Della, a sharp-featured, rangy
California youngster departed today
for Detroit, where he is slated for
10 rounds against one Ruby Garcia
of Puerto Rico Friday night. Della,
who carries a knockout punch in
either hand, regards Garcia and
Ike Williams as just two more OPP
ponents. He says, "All that I ask
Is that Garcia or Williams will
stand up and swap punches with
me. I'll belt them both out, and
then maybe get a crack at Beau
Jack, who has been getting away
with murder because he never met
anyone who would slug with him
intelligently. I'll guarantee that
Beau Jack doesn't 60 the distance"
Milton Berle, the screwball-actor-
man, says, 1--WE been lifelong
fight fan; but never before did I
see pug who I'd let operate I'M
der by aegis. Nope, I don't k1ldw
what 1t means, either. But, any
way, he looked like a million dol
lars to me when I saw him in Cali
fornia few months ago"
Della is a busy scrapper. On Mon
day night he registered his Saith
victory In SO professional fights.
He took a lop-sided decision over
Leo Francis Of Panama, a guy who
refused to be knocked out at Hol-
yoke. Mass. Previously dynamite
Mike had belted out 20 opponents.
Delia's manager, Freddie Som
mers. said, Sure, I sold half of
Mikes contract to Milton Berle.
because Milton offered a lot Of
money and because Berle has a lot
of influence that will be used in
forcing a title fight with Bob Mont
gomery or Zurita."
Zurita of Mexico, the National
Boxing associations champion, has
been offered a guarantee of $40 900
to defend his title under the pro-
motion of Nick Londes Of Detroit.
Milton Berle says. "Zurita is cur
aZy If he doesn't accept. For
twenty grand, I'd fight Joe Louis
If my mother would let me-and
I hope she doesn't change her
mind. After all, why should Zurita
be afraid of Delia-iust en- unknown

New York, March 29-(UP)-The
long demanded breakup of the New
