Bidding Brisk
 On Cooper

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 6.-Even though he's still in service, Catcher Walker Cooper today had become the prized piece of ivory as the 44th annual convention of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues got down to serious busi- ress and serious trading
 The major league clubs had no of ficial status at the convention, of course, but they all were represent ed and the dope was that the New York Giants, the Boston Braves and the Pittsburgh Pirates were inter ested in getting Cooper's contract from the St Louis Cardinals.
 The Pirates were reported ready to offer Catcher Al Lopez and the Braves were ready to toss in back stopper Phil Masi. The Giants were said to he ready to give only cash.
 Meanwhile, it was reported from sources the boys said were reliable that Johnny Hunphries was going from the Chicago White Sox to the Philadelphia Phillies. Humphries, who formerly pitched for Cleveland won only six while losing IA for the SoX last year, but he reported late after being a holdout.

Ap SPORTS
 ROUNDUP
By HUGH FULLERTON, JR.

, COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 6-Inflation must be here I. first the Southern Association moved up a class, the double-A leagues threaten to make 1t a triple-A ard now the Pacific Coast league has decided to become a third major circuit = until the major league meeting next week, at least :. Ony logical reason for these changes that We have heard advanc- ed is the claim that the South should stand on even terms with the East
 International League) the Midwest (American Association) and the Pacific Coast And does anyone want to bet that the Coast league wouldn't withdraw it's bid for big league status if it gets that $l5,000 draft price it has been after for a couple of years? Might be settled for even less than that. Some smart baseballers claim it takes more than four million attendance to make a big league go, while the PCL hasn't done much better than three million. They also say that $l0000 is about as high as anyone could be induced to go for drafted player

UNHAPPY HAPPY

Baseball Commissioner Happy Chandler probably is wondering these days where he ever got that nickname :, Happy's grin is undin- med but it must have hurt him a lot to be frozen cut of the new baseball promotion setup-the one thing he has emphasized since he tecame head man was that he want ed to do anything for the good of baseball A lot of that speech making, that has been charged off to politics" has been done with the idea that it would stir up some interest in the game to have the commissioner appear at Father and-Son banquet or a high school victory celebration T never thought I would be anyone of im- portance," Happy said the other day, but I can remember what thrill it would have been to me when was kid to have Major league player or any prominent baseball man appear in my home town. If Muddy Ruel and l can do the same thing, I think it is very small con- tribution for the good of the game.

STRICT ADHERENCE
 T0BUIEDING WAGE
 CONTROL REQUIRED
Vigorous PenaIizing Pro- gram Launched Against
 Illegal Pay Scales

The Twelfth Regional War Labor D5ard, which includes Alaska, will ,Gunch immediately a vigorous en- lorcement campaign against viola ticns of wartime wage stabiliza- ticn regulations still in effect in the building and construction industry, as announced by William A. Bab- cock, Jr, Regional Attorney.
 D. E. Davis, director, Wage Stabil- .zation for Alaska, said that this an ncuncement was in line with a statement released in Washington, D. C., by Judge John c. Collet, Stab- ilization Administrator, declaring tl,at the wage stabilization unit Of the NWLB has assured the Wage Adjustment Board of strict enforce ment of VILE regulations against illegal wage payments in the building and construction industry. Judge Collet's statement followed Q con- ferences of the agencies in his of flee.
 Push EnJorceWent
 "The decision of the NWLB's wage stabilization unit to push enforce ment has resulted from a nation wide checkup which indicated many unstabili2ing wage increases have been given in the construction in- dustry," Davis said. He added that many reports of such alleged viola ticns in this region have come to the 18th Regional Board office.
 Every reported violation will be checked up on carefully and en- fcroement action taken if the facts justify it" Davis said Employers in the building and construction in-

dustry should realize that stabilizar tion controls in this industry have not been lifted although other vol untary wage adjustments can now be made without Government ap- proval'
 Require ApprcDdl
 Wage increases in the building and construction industry require approval of WLB's Wage Adjust ment Board" Davis said, even though they may be requested vol untarily by the employer or agreed upon through collective bargain ing"
 In his statement issued in Wash ington, D. C., Stabilization Admin istrator Collet declared that the majority of law abiding contractors as we'll as the buying public must be protected from inflationary rises in construction labor costs He added that as long as inflationary pressures persist in the construction industry, controls provided for by Congress in the Economic Stabil- ization Act must be maintained.
 While the WLB is scheduled to gc out of existence at the end of the year, enforcement of stabilization controls will be carried out after that point by the agency which will succeed to WLBs responsibility for wage stabilization.

NLRB ATTORNEY
REPORTS ACTION

A four-day adjournment OF the
National Labor Relations Board
hearing of unfair labor practice
charges brought against the North
Carolina Shipbuilding company at
the instance of the c. I. O.-Ship-
yard Workers Union began Satur-
day and will end Wednesday.
Sessions will recommence Wed
nesday at 10 am. The long recess
was asked by the senior NLRB
counsel, William J. Avrutis, in or
der to permit him to go to Board
headquarters in Washington, and
to report the progress of the case
thus far.
Last witness on the stand was
William A. Everitt, former pro-
duction worker at the shipyard,
who averred that he and other
workers, whom he named, had
been discharged for acquiescence
in CLIO soliciting, alleged by the
shipyard to have been carried on
within the yards. He implied com
plicity by the United States EN-
ployment Service in keeping him
from being re-hired, he said when
a need for workers in his category
was publicly posted in the Employ.
ment Service office.

Army Newspaper Lashes
$4,000 A VOL Soldiers

PARIS, Jan. 28.-(R,-The Army
newspaper Stars and Stripes lash
ed out today at the $4,000 soldiers
absent without leave in the Euro
pean Theater Of Operations.
1--WE don't know the AWOL rate
in the Red Army" the editorial
said. Our guess is it's low"
Asserting the Russians know
what they are fighting for and
have no illusions about the Ger
mans, the newspaper added:
"a bitter fact can also 60 on
record-that there are $4,000
American soldiers in the European
Theater of Operations who haven
the faintest idea what this war is
about, who seemingly know moth
ing about its causes-and care
less about its outcome: who make
it business to murder their pals
by engaging in black market skull
duggery; who deny the great over
whelming mass of informed, think
ing loyal Americans the amount of
food and fuel they need to finish
their jobs.
1t. Gen. Ben Lear, deputy COM
mander of American troops in the
European theater, said yesterday
he was mot alarmed at the high
figure of AWOLs, since it was like
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-01-29

ly that only few thousand of them
were willfully absent. He said most
of them were simply overstaying
their pass or were accidentally de-
layed in getting back to their units
The Provost MarshaPs office
said that the figure actually was
lower than in the last war though
double what it was before D-Day.
Brig. Gen. P. B. Rogers, COM
manding general in the Seine sec
ton, said the AWOLs presented a
serious problem, with the men fac
ing the temptation to pick up easy
money in blackmarket rackets or
to resort to other crimes while
cut off from the army payroll. He
declared however, that only mln-
ority of AWOLs were in this cate
CORY and that most of them were
simply stragglers" who will soon
be back with their outfits.
He cited as an example that on
typical day in a Paris guard
house, 700 men were held, with
1877 accused Of pilferage and black
market activities, while the re.
mainder were routine AWOLs.
In cases of wilful AWOLs the
penalty is severe. If intent to de-
sert can be proved the offender
risks the death sentence.

OF those for Wallace, II are
Democrats. Those for the George
bill include 26 Republicans.
One Southern Democrat who said
he would vote for Wallace, was
amazed" at the tide against the
former Vice President. He re-
called that there wasn't a single
vote against Wallace when he was
confirmed as Secretary Of Agri-
culture in 1898.
He is the same man today as
he was then," the senator said,
"the same idealist with the same
philosophy. l see no reason for
opposing him"
One Senate veteran said his
proposal poll showed At or SO
votes against Wallace and over
whelming support for the George
measure.
The man who holds the key to
whether the nomination or the bill
will be considered first-Chairman
Josiah w. Bailey, D-NC.) whose
Commerce Committee approved

he did not know whether they will
