Swedes Uncertain About U. s. Trip

Stockholm, Jan. 18-CUP)-New doubts over the proposed trip to America by Gunder Hagg, Swedish miller, were raised today by his track colleague Haakan Lidman, who said that plane or boat trans portation would have to be avail able within this week" if they were to be on hand in time to get in shape for indoor meets in the states.
 Lidman denied to the United Press that arrangements had been made for a boat trip which would get them here on Feb. 2, a state ment attributed to Charles JanSon, secretary of the Swedish Athletic Association.
 According to the latest news, the prospects for boat transportation from England to the United States are looking good, but so far we haven't received any confirmation that either plane or boat reserva- tions have been made" Lidman said.
 If we are able to leave Stock holm around Jan. 25, we will have 10 days of training in the United States before the races, which is about the minimum"

WORLD EVENTS
 OF 3O-6O DAYS WILL ME IAN MUCH
By ERNEsT BARCELLA

ny ENlNEOA DAHNOEAAA
 Washington, Jan. 18.-UP)-The future of professional war-time sports apparently rested today on congress- decision of how far to go on the work or fight legislation recommended by President Roose- welt.
 The feeling was general that it was too early to interpret the Presi- dents conditional approval of base ball as a second "green-light," and that events in the next 30 to 60 days will decide definitely whether the nation can fight the last phases of a great war and have a full measure of sports events. too.
 Rep. Samuel Weiss, D., Pa. National league professional football official and the sports worlds cham pion in congress, said that passage of work or fight legislation will fold up the minor leagues and drain many players from the major leagues"
 Tt will put the majors close to the borderline," he said. "But I think they vii lbe able to survive somehow and scrane up enough players to carry on"
 Weiss said he interpreted MT. Roosevelt'S press conference re- marks as "a stop, look and listen signal" rather than as a green light for baseball"
 Passage of the work or fight bill along the outline recommended by MT Roosevelt probably would strip the major leagues of virtually all of their players and remove the majority of top performers from all other professional sports.
 Big Help
 MT. Roosevelt in his message to congress said that while this bil. is not a complete national service law. 1t will go far to secure the effective employment in the war ef- fort of all registrants under the selective service law between the ages of 18 and 45"
 If strict interpretation of that outline were followed, only five of the 800 men now on major league rosters would remain unaffected. These are players under IS, none of whom were given chance to become regulars. Among the re- mainder, there are 232 classified as 4-Fs, 31 as discharged veterans. and g who are over the military age of 38, but who are under 45.
 Weiss said there was a possibility that the governments stiffened at titude might force more than 100,- coo men from non-essential employ ment into war jobs even before the congress acts on the proposed leg islation, which might lessen the pressure on sports.
 He stressed that there were a number of imponderables which could effect sports either way, a sudden improvement in the war pic~ ture, the mobilization of the 600. 900 urgently needed war workers before the work or fight orders cut too deeply into sports rosters, or the attitude of local draft boards.
 4-F Manhunt
 Some took the view that draft boards might take their cue from MT. Roosevelt's guarded approval of baseball and act accordingly in handling the cases of professional players. Others felt that his stand for baseball, if it could go along without hurting war production or using perfectly healthy young men. might prompt draft boards to bear down on the 4-F athletes, reclassify- ing all but those with serious af- f1iictions as available for military service.

Observers here believed that the
British action in closing roads to
the villages and searching for sabo-
teurs showed the British were I'M
willing to tolerate further sabotage

There was still no decision to
try any large-scale disarmament,
as this would be likely to embroil
the Arabs as well as the already
incensed Jews. Since at least So
900 British troops are here, dis
armament at present is not con-
sidered absolutely necessary.
The British denial that troops
were searching for illegal immi-
grants indicated that for the pres

of departing from the reported
practice of deducting the estimated

Late last night, the General Fed
