GAVE FIGHT ORDERS

GAVE FIGHT ORDERS
These reports were so persistent
that the managers of both fighters
sent them into the ring at Braves
field Monday night with the in
structionS:
You'll have to beat his brains out
to Win"
Promoters Eddie Mack, and Jack
OBrien explained that they didn't
care who won, just so that the Gus
toners got a run for their money,
which happened to total $50, 450.
Perhaps the promoters were hoping
that Ortiz would lick Pep, and
thereby win a title shot at Pops
126-pound crown. One Boston writ
Ell, in his advance story, suggested
that the promoters had arranged
for an Ortiz victory, or, at least a
great showing by Ortiz, so that a
big-money return bout could be
staged in Boston.
Unfortunately these wizards of
odds failed to appreciate the brand
OF men who were being thrown into
the ring when Pep and Ortiz met.
Ortiz - SWarthy, black-haired and
ead-panned-Was out for a knock
Out-or at least a decision after he
had slowed up Pep with stunning
blows.
Pep was out to win by means of
smart defensive tactics that includ-
&c off-to-Buffalo footwork, paint
ing left jabS and tying-up maneuv-
erS. He was out to win by any means
poSSlole-Without endangering him
self. Trainer Bill Gore told him to
get out there and Win-regardlesS
OF the reaction from Ortiz or the
fans. And that's exactly what Pep
did. Meanwhile Ortiz's pilot, Tom
my Farmer, had groomed him for
yictory-along the same lines in
which Manuel had registered %
straight wins without being beaten
in nearly three years.
Ortiz unfortunately fought along
the same line that had governed
previous victories stalking his
man, and waiting for his man to
lead, before delivering a stunning
counterpunch. Pep declined ito
lead when Ortiz was trying to force
him into fatal movement. Hence
their combined reluctance caused a
dull bout
1t seems to us that Ortiz hand
lerS should have sensed the trend
Of battle after the third, round
should have sent the bantam king
out with orders to start betting
from all directions. Ortiz has the
speed and terrific punch to wage
Slam-bang attack

GuYC Comedy Opens
At Ceramic Today

The problem of the relationship
between soldier and civilian, an inn
portant current and postwar item, is
tenderly and humorously surveyed in
Warmers new film, "The Very
Thought OF You," which opens
Thanksgiving day at the Ceramic
Theater.
It's cast offers the most promising
of that company's new stars-Dennia
Morgan, Eleanor Parker and Dane
Clark. A brilliant supporting cast in
cludes Faye Emerson and the vet
eran performers, Henry Travers and
Beulah Bondi. Delmer Dawes, repre-
sented most recently as director of
the highly successful Destination
Tokyo" both directed and collabor-
ated on the screenplay for this film.
"The Very Thought OF You" is
concerned with two soldiers who meet
two girls in Pasadena after long
stand in the Aleutians One of them
is brought home for dinner and must
endure the opposition of a tense, war
strained family. It's a condition which
will prevail again and again before
returning servicemen will finally be
absorbed back into civilian life. A
belevable adult solution is offered in
"The Very Thought OF You"
Alvah Bessie and Dawes wrote the
screen play. Franz Waxman wrote

Areu-Leuder Plun
Keeps Youngsters
Out Of Mischief
Juvenile Delinquency Drops
rs To SO Per Cent Over
Short Period

Detroit (ILNS). - Detroit's area
leader plan to help keep teen-agers
out of mischief has reduced juvenile
delinquency from 25 to so per cent
in the last few months, the American
Municipal Association says.
Though the decrease has not beer
this large throughout the city, stats.
tics encourage leaders in the drive
For example, in the first months OF
this year $500 complaints against
girls under II were made to the
women's division of the police depart
ment. For the same period Of 1943
there were 1864 complaints.
City Divided In Areas
Under this area-leader system the
city was divided into areas with an
adult leader chosen to coordinate ac-
tivities. The program combines ac-
tivities of city departments-esp
ly the police and recreation depart,
ments and the board of education
with the work of social agencies, civic
clubs and business men.
A study of one area in the city's
large produce distributing center
which had the worst reputation for
juvenile delinquency shows that cases
of petty theft, property destruction
and general disturbing the peace
were cut more than rs per cent in
one month.
In cooperation with the area lead
ers, the police department assigned
special officers to the task of cutting
juvenile delinquency in that section
These officers work on the principle
of forestalling crime rather thai,
punishment for deeds already DONE
Officers bring both youths and
parents to the stations to discuss
problems.
Other Steps Taken
Merchants in the area donated
funds to turn a block-size section into
playground.
Detroit also is fighting delinquency
through the new Wayne county chill
dren's center, which was set up with
money appropriated for child-guidance
clinics at special legislative session.
This clinic aids children from baby
hood up to 16 years of age who do not
conform to normal patterns. Still
another step in the program is the
visiting-teacher program backed by
provided funds. Teachers Sc
lected especially for this work were
trained at Wayne University this
summer.

On Pacific Island
Stevedore Seobees Engage
In Direct Action Agdinst
The Enemy

Washington, D. C. QLNS). = The
Construction Battalions of the U. S.
Navy, the "Seabees," whose reputa-
tion as wonder-workers increases with
every new front taken from the
enemy and whipped into shape for
new offensives, have proved equally
ready to engage the enemy, the Navy
Departments Industrial Incentive Di-
vision says.
Sent into the front lines on a newly
invaded island as combat unit for
approximately 10 days, platoon of
Second Special Seabees is believed to
be the first unit of Specialist" to
engage in direct action against the
enemy.
Company B. of the Second Special
landed on the beach of the island
within a few hours of the first as
sault waves and assisted in unloading
ships of the task force, getting the
cargo on the beaches, and carrying
ammunition to Marine gunners. The
platoon which went into the front
line came from this company.
The Seabees suffered 3 casualties:
man was shot while carrying NOR
tar ammunition to a Marine gun en-
placement, another was picked off by
a sniper while con patrol, and the
third has been missing in action since
an enemy shell or mine exploded
close to where he was working.

Forced Labor
(Confinned From Page One)

ly several hundred more now in
prison for refusing to go to camps
Administrative Fancy" Hit
"We wish to make it clear at the
outset" the ACLU brief says, "that
no argument is made that conscienti-
Gus objectors should not serve their
country in time of war or peace. Even
under the present system they have
volunteered to perform numerous un-
pleasant, difficult, and dangerous
jobs, becoming attendants in mental
hospitals, parachuting from airplanes
to fight forest fires, and submitting
themselves as guinea pigs for medical
experiments. Their mortality in vol
unteer ambulance units has in many
cases been higher than in the armed
forces.
"Most conscientious objectors would
do more if not forced to do less"
But, the brief maintains, conscien-
tious objectors under the present
forced labor system administered un-
der Selective Service "are relegated
to status lower than prisoners of
war, lower than interned enemy
aliens, or even convicted criminals, all
of whom are paid for their work, and
this inferior status is imposed on
them solely and exclusively by ad-
ministrative fancy without any legis-
lative mandate" The court is remind
ed that conscientious objectors have
been certified sincere only after the
most exhaustive Investigations by
their draft boards, the FBI., and
Presidential appeals boards.
Discrimination Charged
"Of all the millions of men liable
for military service and deferred for
various reasons" the ACLU con-
cludes, "only the few thousand con-
scientious objectors are subjected to
forced labor without pay. 1t is clear
that no other reason than that their
religion disqualifies them for military
service"

High Court Sldps
Down Mr.. Avery
Union Busting Mdil Order
Head Must Comply With
w. L. B. Orders

Sewel Avery, union-busting head
of Montgomery Ward & Co., big mail
order house, has lost another battle
to escape compliance with orders OF
the War Labor Board.
This time the United States Su-
preme Court upheld Circuit Court
of Appeals decision dismissing
Avery's suit, in which he sought to
enioin the WLB from enforcing an
order directing Montgomery Ward to
grant employees union security, the
check-off and impartial arbitration.
Technically, the courts action ap-
plies only to six stores in Detroit,
Denver and Jamaica, l.. |. Actually,
the issue is the same as that involved
in six other injunction suits brought
by Avery throughout the country, in
cluding the Chicago stores taken
over by the government last May.
Takes Another Licking
Recently Judge Matthew Mcclure
of the Federal district court for the
District of Columbia orally dismissed
the six Montgomery Ward cases, but
deferred entering an order until the
Supreme Court had ruled in the Den
Observation-Disclosures case.
Avery took another licking when
Federal Judge John P. Barnes, at
Chicago, dismissed his suit charging
the government had Illegally held
hearings on union grievances in con-
nection with the Chicago strike of
last spring. Judge Barnes said he
based his decision on the latest Su-
preme Court findings.

in the new Congress to meet in
January.
In the form of concurrent reso-
luton, the Pepper measure would de-
clare it "the sense of Congress that
a straight time hourly rate of SO
cents per hour is the minimum below
which the National War Labor Board
shall consider any wage rate sub
standard"
Primary affecting lower paid tex
tile, cannery and railroad mainte-
nance workers and some white collar
groups, the move, if successful, could
result in general adjustment with
out change i'm the Little Steel wage
freeze formula, making it necessary
for the WLB to increase wages all
along the line to maintain pay diff
ferentials.
Technically, the measure provides
only a congressional definition OF
"substandard wages" not defined in
executive orders empowering the War
Labor Board to correct substandards
of living under the Sterilization Act.
Actually the board has generally used
so cents an hour as minimum pay
guide, and then only where manage
ment and labor were agreed on the
increase, CIO textile labor applica-
tions for an increase to 60 cents are
now pending before the board.
Introduction of the Pepper resolu-
tion in August followed report by
the Pepper subcommittee on wartime
health and education that "some 20
million Americans have not enjoyed
rises in income commensurate with
the most conservative estimate OF the
cost of living increase"
Senate Labor Chairman Ebert ID.
Thomas of Utah, appointed another
subcommittee headed by Pepper to
consider the substandard wage reso-
luton. Besides Pepper the members
include Thomas, James NJ. Tunnel OF
Delaware, Robert M. La Toilette, Jr.,
of Wisconsin, and George d. Aiken,
of Vermont. u
Hearings were scheduled for Oct.
IL and IL, but were postponed as the
political campaign picked up.
