Senator'S Ire

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. CUP) -
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg (R)
Michigan, openly accused James
c. Petrillo, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Musicians (AFD
of engaging in battle with the
school children of America"
Vandenberg's remark was evoked
by the AIMS action in placing the
National Music Camp at Interloch-
en-, Michigan, on its unfair list. The
senator is author of a bill which
would make it illegal for anyone
to interfere with the broadcast of
noncommercial cultural programs.

Legion Dickers
For DODGERS

NEW YORK, Feb. 9. CUP)-The
Brooklyn American Legion wants to
buy the Dodger National league
baseball club and will close the deal
whenever satisfactory arrangements
can be worked out, Commander
Lawrence E. Wiseman said Friday.
THE Legion is willing at the mom-
ent to put $4,000 deposit on the
purchase, providing that the bal
ance sheet and operating state
ments, including the current year
are submitted to a special committee
of the Legion" he said.
A special committee of the Legion
met last night to discuss the trans
action, but Wiseman said represent
atives of the Dodgers failed to ap-
pear as scheduled with the state
ment of the teams financial con-
dition.

In the second flight, Riley Nc
Bride is favorite but he may have
trouble with Sgt. Sanderson. Glen
McNay and Dick Hammer are men
to watch in the third group. It's
hard to spot this flight as several
of the players are out of practice.
Walter walsh is the big threat to
the fourth flight players and he
may be playing Sgt. Fredericks in

Smith is another threat, though he
hasn't been playing much golf this
year.
Mote Dizney is a good bet in the
sixth flight but he'll have plenty
of competition. There are several
players in this group who haven't
been playing much recently and
anyone could upset the dope sheet.
Martin Wahl, who used to be one
of the top golfers in the club, may
take the seventh flight, depending
on how quickly some extra practice

Imperial Valley and Yuma
golfers were getting in their
last rounds of practice Fri
day before the opening of the
Barbara Worth Country club
championship ;, S a t u r d a y
which includes eight mems
flights and one ladies' flight
for the largest number of
entrants since before the war.
The course is in excellent shape,
according to Jack McLaren, pro,
and fairways and greens have been
freshly moved. Even the rough
has been trimmed down to avoid
as many lost balls as possible.
Favorites are Jersey Birchfield,
Vic Blalack and OSSie Austin, in
that order. However, FL Centrans
are sure Jersey will regain his title,
which he held two years running
but lost last year to Blalack. The
Yuma contingent is putting its
faith, and money, on Blalack. He
and Jersey both play steady. con-
sistent golf and tournament play
doesn't ruffle them at all after all
these years.
BEEN CLOSE TO TOP
Austin has gone close to the top
in many tournaments but has never
won the title. He's been playing
lot more this year, though, and his
hackers believe it will pay off this
time.
Jersey should win his first match
against Forrest Ferguson and Bla-
lack should defeat E. Wilson. Aus
tin will have mere trouble with
Newt Brazelton, the recent winner
of the Brawley championship at the
Del Rio club, and always close to
the top of the Barbara Worth tour
ney.
Sgt. Roger McManus, who will be
remembered by many from an ex-
hibition match last year when he
and Blalack played Birchfield and
Jack McLaren. Although he and
his partner lest the match, the
army man made a very good show
ing. He is expected to win his first
match against Charles Donnelly.
DARK HORSE
Dark horse of the tournament is
Captain Conrad, who comes from
a family of professional golfers and
looks as if he'll keep up the tradi-
ton. He shot IA the first time
he played the course and he's been
out practicing since. He meets
Elmer Sears of Brawley on Satur-
day.
In the ladies' flight, Louise Rob-
erts of CaleXico will defend her
title and a former title-holder,
Lynelle Smith will also be out. 1t
is difficult to predict the winners
of the women's matches because
they are handicapped and several
qualified higher or lower than they
usually play. However, both these
should win their first matches Sat-
urday.
Two newcomers look like threats
to the local ladies - Elizabeth
Heard, who meets Iva Clarke, and
Ollie Wallace, who plays Babe Ste
vens the first day.
In addition to the championship
flight for men, there are seven
other brackets and interest is nearly
as high in each one as in the top
group. The large number of service
men, whose play is not known to
local golfers, makes it difficult to
pick the winners in any group.
Eldred Ferguson and Paul Post,
both having played in many cham
pionship flights, will meet Saturday
and one may be the winner of the.

Herzog Appointed NLRB
Chairman; May Try To
Cut Inter-UniOn Strife

Washington, d. C.-An era of de-
creasing labor representation contro-
versies was foreseen as the result OF
the appointment by President Tru-
man of Paul M. Herzog to be chair
man of the National Labor Relations
Board.
Mr.. Herzog succeeds H. A. Mills
who resigned after the American
Federation of Labor had served public
notice that it would oppose his reap.
pointment.
While he has served with the u S.
Navy for the past two years, Mr.. Her
zog formerly was member of the
New York State Labor Relations
Board where his record was highly
regarded by labor and where he sue
ceeded in avoiding conflicts between
AFL and CIO unions.
1t must be remembered, however,
that the law governing the New York
State Labor Relations Board specifi-
cally provides that the workers them
selves shall decide which collective
bargaining unit they wish to be in
cluded in, thereby reducing the area
of controversy.
The National Labor Relations
Board, in the past, has assumed the
discretionary authority to make such
decisions itself and as result has
become involved in bitter conflicts be-
tween AFL and CIO unions.
Because of his successful experience
under the New York State law, it is
expected that the new NLRB chair
man may seek to follow a similar
course in his new job. At the same
time, AFL leaders indicated they
would continue efforts to have the
National Labor Relations Act amend
ed so as to conform with the much
more practical provisions Of the New
York law.
Mr.. Herzog was born in New York
80 years ago. He was graduated from
Harvard College in 1927 and from the
Columbia Law School in 1886. He
was an instructor in government and
economics at the University of Wis
consin and at Harvard, 1928-31.
He was assistant to the secretary
of the original National Labor Board
1933-35 and served on the New York
Labor Board, 1874, resigning to en-
ter the Navy, in which he is now a
lieutenant in the labor division. He
will be released to take his new post.

''DEMAND" AND BUYING
POWER

A staggering demand for civilian
goods of all types both at home and
abroad is ''the foundation on which
America can build strong transi-
tional economy as it swings from mu-
nitions to peacetime production,
WPB Chairman ]. A. Krug said in a
report to the board on reconversion.
Pointing to the pent-up demands
that will provide backing for indus
trial plant expansion and renovation
in this country, Krug cited statistics
to show that in 1914, if goods had been
available, Americans would have spent
close to $4,000, 100000. In addition,
he said, 1943 and 1912 consumers were
likewise unable to use their incomes
as they normally would have.
Krug outlined the policy of the
WPB in the months to come, saying:
Although war will be the country's
main job, we must do everything pos
sible to provide opportunities for re-
turning soldiers and discharged work
ers after the defeat of Japan. Toward
that end, it is necessary to get rid of
regulations and production limitations
as quickly as possible and by doing so
automatically lift the ceiling on initia-
tive, imagination, and resourcefulness
the very qualities the country will
need most if we are to have a resilient
and expanding economy after the de-
feat of Japan.
sIn this way" Krug continued, ''the
choice of what and how to produce,
buy, and sell-after positive assistance
to military and essential war support
ing agencies will be left to the deci-
sions of thousands of manufacturers,
wholesalers, retailers, farmers and
ultimate consumers, father than to
government agencies and officials"
1t will be noted that Chairman Krug
emphasized demand" Despite the es-
Inmates of purchasing power he men
tions, there is danger that purchas-
ing power will be lacking unless wage
increases are made now, as urged by
organized labor. Only by doing this
now-not after the war-can there be

Pacifist Teachers Appeal
To Highest Court Dropped

Washington, D. G. (ILNS) An ap-
peal to the U. S. Supreme Court
against the decision of the Florida
Supreme Court upholding the dis
missal of Edward Schweitzer, Dade
County, Fla, school teacher after his
draft board classified him as con-
scientious objector, has been dropped
by the National Committee on Con-
scientious Directors for technical rea-
sons. A petition for hearing was
scheduled for filing early this year,
when a review of the record of the
case in the lower courts revealed that
the constitutional issues had not been
properly raised.
The appeal to the high court of
Clyde Summers, Illinois lawyer re-
fused admittance to the bar because
he was a pacifist, heard April 26, may
settle the issue raised by the Schweit-
ger case.

in workers yearly income as compar-
ed with theft present take-home pay.
The change from highly paid war pro-
duction jobs to lower paid peacetime
jobs will cause an additional loss of
So billion. The net reduction in the
nations labor force, when emergency
war workers withdraw, will reduce
workers buying power by another $5
billion. This adds up to total loss of
$23 billion in workers buying power
during the reconversion period which
is beginning now and will continue un-
til we reach full peacetime employ
ment after VI Day.
Of this $23 billion, at least $13 bill
lion must be restored to workers if
we are to create an adequate postwar
market for the products of full en-
ployment. This means an average
wage rate increase of little more
than 16 cents per hour for forty
hour week to our 40,000,000 wage and
small salaried workers, including gov
ernment employees. 1t will require an
increase of little more than 20 per-
cent above present wage rates to re-
store this S13 billion to workers buy
ing power.
Unless this $13 billion is restored
to workers, it becomes a deflationary
gap, starting a downward spiral, in
creasing the ranks of unemployed per-
sons, and making full employment i'm
possible. Workers will earn all in
creases given them. We may expect
enormous increases in productivity in
civilian industries as new machinery
is installed, skilled workers come back
to their peacetime jobs, and new tech
niques learned in war are put to use.
Experts believe that in the first three
postwar years production per man
hour in American factories will rise at
the rate of 10 percent per year or 80
percent for the three-year period.
This, added to the productivity al
ready achieved during war, and with
the present high level of profits, re-
moves all doubt that industry will be
able again to pay higher wages, while
reducing prices.
