Post Office, Trojan Lads, Koydets Win

The Post Of1ce rolled over the Hawks A to 16 to score their first win in the second round of the Victory league at the Boys Club last night. Having 19 to 2 lead at the half the mailmen coasted through to their triumph paced by Miller with Il and Walsh with g points.
 T-L's Top Leaders
 The EnkcorS were toppled from first place by the racy Trojan Lads in the feature game of the evening. Although the Trojans won B to B the game was much tighter tahn the score indicates. The Lads got of to flying start and at the quarter led g to 2. The Enks came back to outplay the Lads in the second period and at the half had cut the lead of the Lads to points. The third period was pretty even with the Enks trailing most of the way by one or two baskets. Late in the last period the Lads began to click as the Enks lost timing and threw away the ball on several oc- casions. Keane gave the Lads a couple of fouls and the game ended B to g for the Lads. This gives three teams a deadlock for first place with one loss each. They are the Trojan Lads, Enkcors and the Kaydets. High scorer for the Lads was Steffanelli with eight counters while General and Andolina scored eight apiece fer the Fnkcors.
 Overtime
 The final attrectio found the Robins cleshing with the Kaydets in a closely contested game which the Kaydets won in en overtime period by the sore of 36 to 28. The Kay detS got an early game lead which they held hy 2 or points through out most of the game. In the final period of the regulation game the Robins jumped into a point lead but the Kaydets with minutes to play started tossing them in and with 12 seconds to play Thomas scored the hoop which knotted the game at "A all A three minute overtime period saw the Kavdets score quick baskets while holding the Robins to two long ones. Sav- age with 10 and Keane with g noints led the Kaydets to victory. For the dauntless Robins, Coelho as usual assisted by Knapp led the scoring with 8 and 2 points re- spectively.

 New York, Feb. 1-(UP)-It was a great but doubtful day for the intelligentsia of Tin Ear terrace as they walked into the lavishly ap- pointed Jansen suite of the Waldorf Astoria to see what their own bully boy, Mickey Walker, had been doing as an artist-stretching pictures in- stead of opponents on canvas.
 AS the bright lights blazed over the reception-exhibition of 15 pie lures painted by Walker, former welterweight and middleweight champion, barrel-bodied Tony Gal ento rolled in.
 Before Tony could get to free drink, 8 sweet, blonde young thing from Click magazine (which put on the exhibition) grabbed him and in- quired:
 MT. Galento-what do you think of art?"
 Galento said, q think he's the worst referee .."
 A sports writer intervened, and explained that Galento apparently was talking about Art Donovan the referee.
 The sweet thing then coralled Willie Gilzenberg of Newark, N. J. manager of welterweight champion Red Cochrane. She asked bushy- haired Willie if he didn't think Walkers art display was magnifi- cent.
 Willie said, Tt is not only mag nif1cent, but it is also smart. Mickey has painted such big pictures that nobody can walk out with them under their overcoats. He was al- wevs one halluva guy"
 Mickey Walker, a middle sized, round-faced guy with a pug nose and 8 mop of black nair--with traces of silver--admitted to per- petrating the pictures--all IS of them--when Bill Duffy, one of the "boys" who had handled Primo Camera, etc., demanded an explan- ation.
 Mickey said to Duffy, please don't let this leak out to the gang at Elizabeth, N. J., where I run the tavern. have enough trouble al- ready with drunks, who are always challenging me-"
 But Mickey was stuck with his exhibition. Everyone from Jacobs beach felt a little bit sorry for him as he tried to explain how and why he happened to go arty.
 Mickey, who had earned and blown more than $2.0OO,0o0 as he battled from lightweight to heavy weight during 16 busy years in the ring. blamed the whole thing onto a motion picture "The Moon and Sixpence'. He saw this picture about year and half ago, and he went right out and bought can vaSs and colors and started splash ing paint on canvas, without any instruction.

Should the Government hold out to get all its costs back?
Should accept any price that is offered just to get the
plant converted promptly? Or is there some middle
ground that would be fairer to everyone?
If the Government should sell the plants outright their
purchase might require many millions or billions that
only the greatest corporations could afford bid them in
Would it be better If the Government we're to lease
them instead, Henry Wallace suggests, making the
preservation of free competition in industry almost as
important m objective as getting good rental?
we are to avoid tragic period of unemployment after
the war, questions like these must be decided now, before
peace comes.
Bernard Baruch has offered principles to guide

you in Government-who must really tackle these knotty
problems right and settle them for good or bad
Whether it be for good bad will depend to great

is an awful lot of headscratching to be done.
The wrong way out, says almost everyone, would be
for the Government to take and these plants
Nobody wants expects the government to 90 into the

the thumb tack and paper clip business.
No one doubts that most Of the plants should be turned
back to the people management and workers)-back
to private industry
That isn't going to be quite easy as it sounds
For example, if the Government decides to sell the
plants what would fair price be?
Many of the plants built inflated wartime costs
Some had to be built with substitute material
Others were planned efficiently for making military
products like tanks and ammunition and are ineff-
centy planned for making the gener products of peace
Some experts doubt whether their true value will be
