Postwar Bill
Battle Nedrs
BY DAVID CAMELON
Detroit Times Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON. Aug. S-Re-
publicanS and southern Democrats
will begin a fight on the floor Of
the Senate today for what they
declare Is the preservation on the
American system of free enter
prise.
The battle will center about the
so-called Kilgore-Truman-Murra
postwar adjustment or recon-
version bill a measure which
Scra+ef- Chapman ReXercomb -lRl
of West Virginia charges would
establish a dictatorship over labor
and industry far exceeding even
wartime controls.
LEADERS OF FIGHT
Leading the fight against the
measure, which has the backing
of Senator Truman. Democratic
vice presidential nominee will be
Senators George of Georgia and
Byrd of Virginia.
The bill sets up an office of
war mobilization which would
be given control over the recon-
version of industry 10 civilian
production, and work director
with sweeping powers over the
T unemployment OF labor.
r. J. Thomas, JAW president,
aSSailed Senator Nandenberg for
supporting the George reconver-
sion bill as opposed 10 the Mur-
ray-Kilgore proposal.
\ LETTER TO VANDENBERG
Thomas wrote to Vandenberg:
II am shocked 10 learn that
you are supporting Senator
Georges reConverSiOn bill, in
view of your repeated prOtesta-
tiOns concerning the necessity
Of taking care Of the human
element in recOnversiOn."
Thomas asserted that organized
labor was strongly united" ir
favor of the Kilgore measure
which would provide unemploy-
ment benefits up 10 maximum OF
$35 a week for discharge serv'
icemen, as again maximum
of $40 a week in the George
measure.

Browns Snatch 7luin Win
From Faltering Tigers

ST. LOUIS, June 25-lR-Mark-
ing up their 10th and 11th victor
les of the season over the Detroit
Tigers, the league-leading St.
Louis Browns won a doublehead-
er this afternoon to 4 in 10 inn
ings and to 2.
The Detroit club has stopped the
Browns only three times this yea-,
twice last Sunday.
The double victory gave the
Browns clean sweep of the Tiger
series and four-game winning
streak.
Nelson Potter pitched one-hit
ball for the league leaders for
seven innings in the first contest
only to have the Tigers explode
with five consecutive singles after
two were out in the eighth to
score four runs and assume AZ
lead.
George McQuinn put St. Louis
back in the game in the last half
of the ninth inning with a long
homer with Floyd Baker on base
to tie the game.
Gene Moore opened the tenth
with a single off starter Paul (Diz-
zy) Trout and Rufus Gentry was

ding, with all the trimmings.
The formal white satin we'd
ding gown designed for the
'mock'' bride was a perfect
fit for the real one, Miss Ber-
nice Cook of Julie, Wyo. The
bridegroom, Sgt Lester w.
Holcomb, Jr., of Julie, was
wearing his full dress uniform.
The Rev. Howard W. Scharf,
pastor of the First Presbyter-
ian church of South Orange, N.
j., was uncertain as to the
legality of his performing the
ceremony since he did not have
North Carolina license. A
hurry call soon brought the
Rev. Mr.. Jones, rector of St.
PauPs Episcopal church, Beau
fort, to officiate, with Mr..
Scharf assisting.
Nearly 600 service men and
women and civilians attended
the ceremony, reception and
cake-cutting afterward.
The only thing lacking was a
oft for the bride. The specta-
tors promptly passed hat, and
garnered $50 cash, five blue
ration tokens, a red one, and
safety pin. The couple then
left for a honeymoon.

NEW YORK, June 25.-tR1We
just made a couple Of false starts
on this piece, something that new
er would have happened, Lawson
Robertson says, with the electric
gum he demonstrated after the
epidemic of gun jumping in the
National "A. A. U. 100-meter dash
a week ago.
AS near as we can figure out
the starter is wired for sound with
Mr.. Robertson's gadget. or wired
for no sound. as if a runner leaves
the mark before the gun sounds,
the gun doesn't sound.
The contrivance smacks OF one
of Ray Dumont's brain-children,
with it's underground wires, cleo
tr,c plates and what not. Mr.. Du-
mont has practically completed
the identification Of semi pro
baseball, and a player can't move
out there without getting in front
of some seeing-eye device which
will ring a bell, blow whistle or
call him out on strikes.
Jack Lavelle, 280 pounds or so
Of bruised dignity who was the
man behind the gun in the uafor-
t.nate episode a week ago when
al, six finalists were disqualified,
asks plaintively:
.TIow is this electric thing 60
ing to prevent false starts? There's
nothing to prevent man from
leaving his mark before the gun
sounds. and if he does the gun
can't be fired to bring the men
back On recalls, where the start
ar fires the gun after seeing too
lste man getting an unfair start
and then fires it again to bring
the field back. there is no penalty.
therefore. all il1egitimate starts
with the electric gun would be
false starts.
Lavelle is one of the best start
ers in the business. He's jovia-
and witty and has a soothing way
about him that quiets skittish ath
Ietes. He's 280-pound Jockey
when it comes to getting those
| runners nerves to quit jumping
Frankly, we don't see how any
device could prevent false starts
unless starting gates were used
which isn't so silly as 1t nigh
sound, although it brings up thu
n;cture of trainers leading thu
athletes by halters to their cages
AS long as there is nothing il

BUILDERS DEFEAT
CAMP DAVIS, S-4
BY BILL McILWAIN

The North Carolina Shipbuilding
Company's mighty horsehide ag-
gregation kept its undefeated re-
cord intact yesterday afternoon
with a 8-4 win over the Camp Da-
Wis Blue Brigade baseballers on
the Davis diamond.
Lefty Cheshire pitched the con-
test for the Boatbuilders, setting
the AA-men down with 4 hits. The
husky portsider kept himself in
trouble throughout the majority OF
the engagement by walking 13
men. He in turn worked himself
out of these difficulties by tanning
IL Brigade stickmen.
Errors led to the Camp Davis
downfall. The Soldiers defensive
play was marred by eight costly
hobbies afield, six of the miscues
being of the infie1d variety.
The Shipyard raped Davis hurl-
err Ray Gawrys for II safeties.
Taylor, backstop who was subbing
at the initial sack for the Defense
Workers, paced the encounter
hitting with two doubles and a
single. Urban and Dejarnette were
next in line with two hits apiece.
The highlight of the fracas came
in the sixth inning. Cheshire walk.
ed four Camp Davis batsmen in
a row to force across a tally. The
big southpaw then proceeded to
fan the next three men to retire
the side.

T day on top of a similar decisive
victory in the Shevlin a weekago.

aased by Parker last summer
