dromes in preparation for new
aerial blows against Japan's totter-
ing strongholds in the southwest
Pacific.
General Douglas MacArthur's
headquarters revealed that the
fighting seabees moved into the
Cape Gloucester area Immediately
after the air strips had fallen to
the Marines at noon Thursday and
began clearing away the wreckage
caused by weeks of Allied bombing
prior to the Marine landing last
Sunday.
Reconstruction of the fields would
place Allied air power within 275
miles of Rabaul, the main Japanese
air and naval base in the southwest
Pacific theater.
Marine units maintained a pro-
tective Gordon around the airfields,
but there was no indication that
the beaten Japanese, who lost more
than 700 dead in vain defense OF
the area, were in position to in
terfere with the reconstruction
work.
Meanwhile, Allied fliers con-
tinued their incessant attacks on
Japanese defense installations on
New Britain and the surrounding
islands, bombing and strafing ene-
my positions along the island coast
and in the Dampier Straits between
New Britain and New Guinea.

Union Officials
Hit at Byrnes;
Deadlock Holds

WASHINGTON, Jan. /. UP)-
The railroad wage dispute involving
Is incorporating unions and three
of the five operating brotherhoods
was deadlocked Saturday with little
prospect of further progress until
next week.
Spokesman for the incorporating
unions, after rejecting President
Roosevelt's offer to arbitrate and
after accusing War Mobilization
Diector James F. Byrnes of trying
to thwart the presidents attempt
to solve the disputed overtime pay
issue, adjourned until Thursday.
HOW SITUATION STANDS
Unless the unions retreat unex-
pectedly from the stand taken Fri
day. the president must make the
next move. In releasing respond-
ence between himself and the un-
ions, he gave no indication of what
that move might be, or that he has
any planned.
One issue that had worried not
only the unions holding out against
ating unions who accepted the
presidents offer appeared to be
cleaned up. Byrnes, in a letter to
A. F.. Whitney, president of the
Brotherhood OF Railway Trainmen
and Alvanley Johnston, grand chief
engineer of the Brotherhood oil
Locomotive Engineers, assured them
tration by the president did not
that their decision to accept arbi-
freeze all wage rates for the dura-
ton of the war.
The criticism of Byrnes by the
incorporating unions was issued q
few hours after the president re-
leased his correspondence in the
dispute, revealing his opposition
and that of the carriers to separ-
ate consideration of straight wage
increases and overtime payments.

In chart No. A we show the
4-7-9-10 which gives the bowler
a little more latitude than when
only the ALTO is left because
the 4 pin may either strike the
8 on the left-hand side and have
it topple into the 10, or the base
of the may strike the 9 and
the neck or head strike the 10
pin. This spare should be rolled
at from comparatively the same
starting point as shown in the
chart, i. e., the hook ball from
somewhere near or to the left
of the center of the alley and
the straight ball near or to the
right of the center of the alley.
We advise the hook bowlers to
move to the left of the strike
spot in this instance because his
ball will contact the 4 pin at a
better angle than if he were
bowling from near the right
hand corner of the alley.
In bowling at the 6-7-8-10 pin
leave shown in chart as, the
hook bowler must definitely
move to the left in order to per-
NIT his ball to come into the 6
pin at the proper angle. The
right-handed hook bowler is apt
to convert this leave into a spare
more often than the 4-7-9-10
leave because his ball is coming
in to the 6 pin, whil in shoot
ing at the 4-7-9-10 his ball is
travelling away from the 4 pin.
In chart No. As we show the
2-7-10 split which is far easier
to convert than the ALTO al
though it seems more spectacu-
lar to the non-boWler. The ball
must, of course, be fitted be-
tween the 2 and 7, the z pin

having two chances of carrying
off the 10 pin-one by going di-
rectly into the 10 and the other
by coming off the kickback.
The foregoing likewise applies
to chart No. AZ where the 3-7-10
is shown. The 3 pin must def
nitely be hit on the right side,
the ball going into the 10 pin
while the 3 may either 60 to the
kickback and rebound onto the
Z or strike the z direct.
The same general rules given
for charts 43-44 and As apply
likewise to the ALTO leave
shown in chart 48 and the 81
10 leave shown in chart 49.
When bowling at the 4-7-10, the
4 must be cut thinner than when
bowling at the 4-7-9-10. In both
charts 48 and 49 we show COM
paratively the correct spot from
which to start the ball.
In chart No. so we show a
leave which many boWlers be-
lieve is impossible to convert
into a spare, when, in reality, it
is quite often made although
the three remaining pins are all
in the same row. If the ball,
especially hook, strikes the 10
pin sufficiently full to cause it
(the ball) to rebound to the left
into the 9, the 8 pin oftentimes
goes straight across and carries
off the 7. Here the hook ball
has the advantage although the
spare can be made with a
straight ball. These three pins
are left so seldom that naturally
the number of times one sees
this spare made are small never
theless, it must not be classified
with such leaves as the As, 7-9,
$40, or 7-10.
