Representatives of organized labor and the United States Chamber of Con- merce have announced "peace charter" to prevent strife between management and labor when the nations economy contracts to a peacetime basis. The document recognizes the inherent right and responsibility of management to di rect the operations of an enterprise" It supports "private property and free choice of action, under a system of pri- vate competitive capitalism" It sup ports the right of labor to organize and engage in collective bargaining. It calls for the establishment of an international organization capable of assuring lasting peace This is constructive, statesman like action. Every workman and every business man should do his best to make it bear fruit. Continued labor-manage- ment strife will inevitablely result III total and permanent government control oI both.

AT PLAY IN THE STREETS
New Britain Herald

One hears much about the need for providing recreation for the young. In some communities it is already problem, in others it is rated high in postwar planning.
 But one type of youthful recrea- tion goes right on, the same this year as befora: Youths continue to play baseball in streets.
 They shout with j y each time someone almost makes a home run; and with their loud noises and con- stant yelling they prevent. numer- ous pappies from early-evening maps and snoozes. The police. sometimes called by telephone, chase tham 'out of the block" But there are always other blocks: and when the prowl cars move. the late afternoon street bas aball recreation continues merri- ly on.

FAREWELL FOR INEZ

AhEWELL fOh lNEL Id Files in the Poets Corner, Hartford TimeS) Yesterday she left by the back door across the meadow with the sun at her back =. She took with her the hours her tired hands had mixed the porridge at sunset by frightened candle; and sang a robin-song to the boy. And steered her way by tall trees, and the endlessness where they dance. At long last let her recall no more than these tall trees, and their fruit dismembered with the ancient flowers whose love shall run before the darkness to strike an holy chord upon her quiet.

Robinson Toys With DeIIicurti

Boston, Dec. 5-(UP)-Sugar Ray Robinson d;shed out lump at 8 time to Vic Dellicurti last night to win by decision rather than knockout their 10-round bout at Boston Garden.
 The clever, methodical Robinson had no trouble wining his third victory over the veteran Dellicurtt who served as little more than a walking punching bag for the un- crowned king of the welterweights.
 A crowd of 8,428 jeered as Robin son, who apparently could have kayoed Dellicurti in almost any round, contented himself with dancing around his helpless oppon- ent, flashing almost continually a damaging left hand into his bloody face.
 Game Dellicurti continued to bore in toward Robinson in a re- narkable clinch-free fight Only in the ninth round did Robinson answer the crowds plea for his hlink punch. With two vicious right smashes to the head, he caused Dellicurti to stagger com- pletely across the ring and fall into the ropes. But he failed to finish him of and appeared to carry him until the final bell.
 Heavyweight challenger Billy Conn received a great hand when he stepped into the ring to referee the eight-round semi-f1nal bout in which Indian Gomez, 163, Miami, and J. c. Wilkins, 163, of New York, fought draw.
 The bout drew a gross gate Of $17,859 for a net of $13,314.

WATERBURY BOY HOOP PROSPECT AT PROVIDENCE

Joe Kelley, graduate of Crosby High last June who at IT years of age stands exactly six feet high and tips the beams at 160 pounds, is a candidate for a varsity posi- tion with the Providence College basketball team. The local lad, freshman taking business course, hopes to land regular starting as- signment as guard with the Friars.
 First Game Tonight
 "Friars" inaugurate their 1945-46 basketball seaeon this evening when they meet the Newport Naval Training Station at Harkins Hall in Providence. The Sailors from Newport had one of the strongest service teams in this area last year and won the Narragansett Bay Service League.
 Storey and Hill, the two star forwards, are back this year and they will be ably assisted in the front line by Bornheimer, a six foot-four boy who won fame at La Sale Military Academy of Long Island. The guards are Bob Strang and Frank Taylor. Taylor is 8 former University of Vermont star. The Newport team is coached by Lieut.. John Mazzarella who played with Boston University. From all reports on the squad from the Naval Training Station it looks as though Coach Ed Crotty's boys in their first court appearance will be meet ing a powerful and experienced team.
 The 1945 edition of '"The Friars" will be another young and untrled squad. Of the thirty or more who answered the call to basketball drill, nineteen still remain. The average age of the squad is eighteen years, and fourteen of the nine teen are freshmen at the college. The remaining five are sophomores. The squad has slightly more height than last years team which was one of the smaller teams in the nation. Three men are six-foot- two. They are Rae Edwards, a freshman from St. Mary's High School in Milford, Mass; John Fogarty, also a freshman from La Sale Academy; and Joe Lebel from Barnstable, Mass, sophomore. Eight of the squad hit the six-foot mark and all the rest vary down to Jean Vaudeville, 5-foot-4, an ex-serviceman who was substitute with last years team.
 "All State" Men
 Bob Corry of Hope, "Brud' King of La Salle and Henri Ethier of Pawtucket East are former high school "All State" men. All three are also veterans of World War II Henri Ethier was member of the 1o42-43 team but left early in the season to become an Army pilot He is now a sophomore. From the nineteen men left Coach Crotty has still to pick his first team and the starting lineup for Wednesday nights game. Three of last years first team, Labossiere, Cory ana Arzoomanian are back and may hold their old positions, at least 1ol the present. Arzoomanian was hlgn scorer last season with an average of 1e6 points game. Corry Is a guard, and Leo LaboSSlere, who k only 5-foot-5 and weighs 122 pounds was captain of last years midget Friars. The squad has been prac' ticing for several hours every oa5 and have had several strenuous scrimmages. By tonight's game they hope to be ready to give good account of themselves.
