Family Discussions
OF Race, Economics
Urged on Catholics

The family should know and dis
cuss race relations, housing, eco
nomic conditions and labor unions,
as all these subjects vitality affect
every member, Miss Dorothea F..
Sullivan, professor of social group
work, National Catholic School of
Social Service, told the concluding
session of the Family Life Confer
ence at Catholic University yester-
day.
The four-day meeting was spon-
sored by the Family Life Bureau in
cooperation with the National
Catholic Welfare Conference.
Miss Sullivan urged parents to
have a wholesome attitude toward
sex and a vocabulary enabling them
to discuss sex education. She ad-
vised discussion of the papal en-
cyclicals on marriage in the family
group, emphasizing that these and
other discussions should be held in
language people without college
educations can understand.
A cultured home is the "surest
road to happiness" the Most Rev.
Joseph P. Hurley, Bishop of st.
Augustine, declared. He emphasized
the value of spacious minds" and
urged parents to encourage the
natural talents they may observe in
their children. He also advised
parents to discuss with their chill
dren the different vocations open to
them, both with regard to their
natural abilities and world needs.
"Only by talking this over in the
home will children choose the voca-
tions that will develop the cultural
atmosphere in our land" he said.
We must be careful that our en-
phasis on the rights of the indi-
vidual does not result in a lessening

|WLb Refuses 10 Order
Strikers Back Until
Firm Accepts Ruling
By the Associated Press.

ATLANTA, Feb. 3.-The. Fourth
Regional War Labor Board held in a
ruling made yesterday that where
an employer failed to comply with a
ruling Of the board union members
on strike will not be ordered back to
work.
In a precedent-setting order yes
terday, the board refused to order
employees of the Cocker Machine 61
Foundry Co. of Gastonia, N. c., back
to work and gave the company until
February to notify both the unions
and the WLB that it would comply
with a previous wage ruling.
The unions involved are the Inter-
national Molders and Foundry Work
ers' Union of North America (AFL)
whose members struck after COM
plying with provisions of the Smith
Connally Act, and the International
Association of Machinists (AFL)
Spokesman for the machinists said
their union members refused to cross
the picket line of the other union.
Chairman M. T. van Hecke of the
regional WLB said the number of
companies failing to observe WLB
orders was becoming acute in the
Southeast, where SO such cases exist
in the eight-State region.
This percentage of noncompli-
ance, when compared to a total of
COS dispute case decisions by the
regional board, makes it a most
serious matter" Van Hecke said.
THE tendency toward noncompli-
ance by employers has shown an
alarming increase during the last
few months.
BY unanimous desision the
board held that the Cocker Co. had
failed to comply with the wage
ruling and also had failed to show
adequate cause at a hearing yes
terday.

Hope Seen for Settling
Greek Dispute Soon
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATHENS, Feb. 3.-The conciliatory
spirit that marked the opening con-
ference between Greek government
representatives and left-wing EAM-
ELIAS delegates spurred hopes today
that settlement would be reached
in the dispute that hared into civil
war after Greece's liberation.
The first meeting Of the two fac

that taking up arms with the ELIAS

punishable offenses, but individual
acts contrary to rules of war or the

ment program of the war Manpower
Commission.
In a letter to the Senate COM
mittee, made public yesterday, War
Manpower Chairman Paul v. Nc
Mutt strongly recommended revision
of the House bill, contending that
under it VINO either would have
to discontinue its present recruiting
OF men between 18 and As, or there
would be two independent Govern

Favors Present Powers.
As the Senate group reconvened
this morning, Senator Kilgore,
Democrat, of West Virginia declared
the manpower problem could
be solved by full use of the powers
already contained in the Selective
Service Act, with the possible ex-
ception of the need for an appro-
priation to transport workers who
volunteer for jobs away from home.
He said he would prefer to see
Congress pass a resolution calling
on the Army, Navy, selective SER
vice and the VINO to use the
authority they already possess to re-
classify and induct men who do not
stay in or go to essential jobs.
The committee, however, is be-
lieved ready to adopt the revised
House bill, and take it up for de-
bate in the Senate Tuesday.
Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman
of the Republican Steering Com
mittee, indicated today the Repub-
licans will not take formal posi-
ton on the measure. He said he
was inclined to vote against it.
One Major Difference.
Under the rewritten Senate bill
the draft boards would continue to
make up the lists Of registrants
who are available for transfer to
war work, but when men
are needed the draft boards would
send these men to such agencies
as Mr.. Byrnes may designate for
job placement. Similarly, If this
voluntary effort failed, the draft
boards would order them to report
to the agency Mr.. Byrnes desig-
mates, whereas under the House
bill the draft board itself would
tell them where they must work.
One major difference in the two
bills 10 In the workers right OF
appeal. The House gave workers
the same appeal procedure pro-
vided under the draft law for men
called for military service. The
Senate version allows Mr.. Byrnee
to establish IN appeal system By
regulation.

This week finds us In Crescent
Bay Camps, on lower Saranac Lake,
New York. In our opinion this whole
region is one of natures finest play
grounds in the Eastern half of the
United States. 1t is a land Of lovely
lakes and streams, teeming with
fish; green, forest-clad mountains;
cool, invigorating climate (48 de-
grees at 8 a.m), and most hospitable
people. Harry Duso, our host, is a
top-notch outdoorsman and has
everything here to meet the needs
of the most discriminating angler
From this base it is easy to take
day trips as far as middle Saranac
Lake, or Round Lake, as most call
1t, where monster pike abound; all
over the lower lake and down the
Saranac River to Miller Pond and
other points.
There is excellent small-mouth
bass and pike fishing to be had
everywhere, although. according to
the natives, this is not the best sea-
son. The bass average from to
2l2 pounds, and 3 and 4 Founders
are not uncommon. Although this
may smack of heresy, we believe a
2-pound bass here will put up a
scrap equivalent to that of any
4-pound Potomac small-mouth. The
great northern pike run up to over
20 pounds, their average being from
2 to 7, and the yellow perch here
grow up to more than 2 pounds in
weight. There are also giant lake
trout to be trolled for and white
fish up to 4 and 5 pounds.
IN spite of the lateness of the
season we've done pretty well with
the bass, using surface lures, par
ticularly our pet hair frog. How
ever, it took 10-year-old boy some
years ago to show us how to tease
. pike into striking. We were making
the same trip we've had today
down the Saranac River and through
the locks to Miller Pond, known to
oldtimers as Oseetah Lake. Along
the western shores of this lake,
which has been formed by daming
the river, there is tangled mass Of
of fallen timber, mostly under wa
ter, fringed by great beds of pickerel
weed on one side and marshy shores
behind. 1t is tricky water to fish,
but the big bass and pike are there.
This particular day, plugs just didn't
work, nor did our favorite trolling
lures and surface bugs. We stopped
at the locks for lunch and chat
with our old friend the lock tender,
Ed Lamy of Olympic skating fame,
and were grabbing about the shy
ness of the fish. He grinned and
called to his 10-year- -old son to show
us what to use for lures.
The shy lad diffldently looked
through our bulging tackle boxes.
Selecting a small fly-rod size tan
dem silver spinner he said, Put a
bare gang hook on this, mister, and
troll it slowly" 1t worked, and how.
And it worked just as well today.
Your scribe and his companion each
had fish on at the same time and
actually managed to land both Of

pet bass, will be glad to know he's
still to be found at his old hangout
under the boat dock. Charley must
scale close to four pounds now.
Just stomp on the dock near his
habitat and out he comes, ready and
willing to gobble up the small leop-
ard frogs which admiring anglers
feed him. He'll actually take them
out of your hand if you don't mind
getting nipped occasionally. We've
seen him swallow four in quick sue
cession, which must be quite a
morning meal for even a 4-pound
bass, and in the late afternoon of
the same day, there he was, a regu-
lar piscatorial Oliver Twist, asking
for more. The number of frogs
Charley consumes in a single sea-
son must be almost astronomical.
