Basket Squad Of Ten
Stars Is Named by
Helms Foundation
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April g.
Helms Athletic Foundation Of Los
Angeles, an organization for the
general advancement and promotion
of sports, has selected its 1945 all
star collegiate basketball squad.
In arriving at the selections the
foundation seized upon what
amounted to poetic license. Instead
of the regular forwards, centers and
guards who make up the regular
basket ball team, the squad is di-
vided into six forwards and four
defense players. Five make up a
team but there is spare for each
position.
The foundation and it's various
activities have been under the su-
pervision of w. R. (BilD Schroeder
for many years It's selections:
Forward-Biu Henry, Rice, s feet 9
inches. 215.
Forward-pale Hall, Army West Point
Forward-Howie Schultz, Hamline, 8
.efs ansne1i TdMMsx Morris, Northwestern,
Forward-George Mikan, De Paul, feet

Forward-Vince Hanson, Washington
State, 6 feet s inches, 1875.
Defense-Bob Kurland, Oklahoma Ags,

Defense-Adrian Back, jr., Navy. An
napolis, feet. 175.
befense-Walton Kirk, jr, Illinois, 8
'etS DefenseMHerb raenii wilkinson Iowa, feet
inches, $50.
AS noted, five of the six forwards
are centers by trade, namely, Henry,
Schultz, Morris, Mikan and Hanson.
Hall is the only genuine forward
Still another center, Kurland, was
placed in a defense, or guard, job.

Action Called For

When people have as deep a conviction
about anything as we have about unionizing
management, they ought to do something
about it.
If the meaning of the National Labor Rela-
tions Act can be so confused as to promote
unionization of management-and thus i'm
pair the effectiveness of the American pro-
duction system of which we are all so proud
then the meaning ought to be cleared up.
General Motors believes-and hopes others
will feel the same-that it is patriotic duty,
a duty to the foremen, to industry, to labor,
and to the public as a whole-to oppose the
unionization of management by every
proper and lawful means.
That is our intention.

Jones High Man in Air
As Well as With BAT

Ey the Associated Press.
Being high man is something OF
habit with Jake" Jones.
He led the Texas League in home
runs as a rookie in 1910 when he
played first base for Shreveport. In
1941 he was hitting 306 and was
leading the boys in homers again.
With only few weeks Of the season
left, the Chicago White Sox tapped
him. He stayed with the Sox until
the following spring, when he signed
with the United States Navy.
Now he is 1t. q. g. James Mur-
rell Jones. The Navy said he has
seven confirmed kills and is the
high man in his Hellcat fighter
squadron.
The thrill of shooting down Jap
plane, he says, is like hitting
home run with the bases full.

baseball when the war is over, IF
I'm not too old" He is now %. His
wife lives at EppS, La.

SAN FRANCISCO. April g.
Where are the big sports figures now
serving with the Army and Navy?
A recent Navy press release from
Guam provides partial answer
1t tells of a Navy sports troupe
composed of former baseball, boxing
and tennis stars which is now in the
Pacific forward area. Its purpose
is to play exhibition matches and
to serve as a nucleus for intramural
teams.
Athletes have given shows at
Kwajalein, Saipan, Guam, Tinian,
Ulithi, Peleiu and Angaur.
The Navy says that after the ex-
hibitions are concluded the troupe
will be broken up and members as
signed to various Marianas islands,
Ulithi and Peleiu for athletic work
and to help supervise rehabilitation
training in hospitals. Navy and
Marine teams will be formed around
them, each island having an intra-
mural league. Later, championship
games between the islands will be
played. Then the stars may be re-
assembled for more exhibition
games.

New York Giant pitcher, is in
charge of the sports troupe. Other
members are:
Baseball-Johnny Mize, first base

Bad for F0remer1

We think it would be bad for foremen
if American industry should be compelled
to make a change in its proven type of
organization, which would unavoidably re-
duce the foreman's status, diminish his
responsibility, authority and influence,
decrease his opportunities for personal
advancement
In General Motors, foremen have always had
important responsibilities and authority.
We have always guarded the status of our
foremen, and have provided special training
to improve their abilities, increase their
efficiency and enhance their opportunities
for promotion to even more important man.
agement positions. The great majority of
General Motors principal executives at
one time were foremen.
We are conyinced that it would be impos-
sible for foreman to follow both manage
ment and union leaderships at the same
time, and under those conditions to carry
on all his duties as they now exist. All ele-
ments of management must have common
objective.
1t would obviously be impossible, for in
stance, for him as fellow unionist with
those under him, to perform his functions
which relate to their working conditions,
wages, promotions and assignments on the
unbiased basis which is essential to good
management.

Bad for Industry

From our experience both before and during
the war, we are certain that the accepted
American method of spreading managerial
authority and responsibility among fore
men-so that management is in close, direct
contact with comparatively small groups of
workmen-is the best and only sound method
of handling day-to-day relations with the
thousands of employees engaged in modern
mass production.
Anything which would require change in
this set-up would interfere with employer
employe relations and with production.
For example, there have been many strikes
in war production plants, particularly in
Michigan. Charges have been made that
workmen have been loa6ng in plants en-
gagged in war production and that they are
being paid high wages for not working We
are conscious that the public feels that there
must be something wrong. The attempt to
tear down the position and authority of fore
men and to, unionize members of manage
ment is Importantly contributing to this
condition.

Bad for America

The removal of foremen from their present
position as vital integral part of manage
ment would require reorganization Of fac
tory management on a basis far more
complicated and decidedly less effective.
Necessary factory discipline would suffer,
worker efficiency would be impaired.
We believe the effect on you-on the public
as a whole-would be very real.
It would interfere with the war effort.
It would make war materials cost more
1t would slow up postwar reconversion to
civilian production.
1t would delay adequate postwar output of
cars, refrigerators, ranges furniture-all
the things people need so much and have
waited for so long.
Finally-and, in the long run, perhaps most
important of all-t would so increase pro-
duction costs as to boost prices and the cost
of living, and make the problem of reason
ably full employment much more difficult

i HE National Labor Relations Board has
ordered a bargaining election among the
foremen and other supervisory groups of
a Detroit automobile company.
This company is not part of General
Motors, but we are concerned with the prln-
ciples involved
This confusing action by the Board means
that it is sanctioning and promoting the
unonization Of management personnel,
in spite of the fact that the National Labor
Relations Act includes as an employer
g.. any person acting in the interests of
an employer directly or indirectly"
We are sure that Congress did not intend
to approve unionization of management
when it passed the Act.
The results if applied throughout industry
would be bad for the management groups
involved, bad for industry, bad for labor,
bad for America.
