Those brilliant Birmingham
Black Barons, prides of Negro
baseball. will be on view here
Monday night, April 30th. against
the Memphis Rld soS in night
game at Travellers Field, starting
at s:S0 O'Clock.
If any team is going to keep
the Birmingham Black Barons
from their third successive Negro
American League championship,
it's going to have to be an aggre-
cation the likes of which the cir
cult hasn't seen in many years.
That's how powerful Manager
Winfield Welch's Barons shape
up for this titular campaign. Ex-
cept for Tommy Sampson, the
lineup is the same as that which
carried off both halves OF the
pennant race last season and won
the 1943 crown before that. Only
this years team is stronger in re-
serves.
There's no doubt but that the
brilliant Sampson, now on loan
as manager to the st. Louis Stars

WARREN URGES SPEED ON POSTWAR PLANS
Congress Ba|ks
On About
National Draft
Will Try StOp-Gaps
Plan First and
Give 4-Fs New Trials

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.
(UP) Congress appeared
Monday to be ready to fol-
low White House leadership
for drafting 4-Fs and nurses
but baked for the time being
on the idea of complete ma
tional service legislation.
In response to President
Roosevelt's request for "to-
tai mobilization of all human
resources for the prosecution
of the war;" congressional leaders
were prepared to put the Tightening
OF manpower controls at the top of
the legislative calenCar.
STOP GAPS FIRST
A sampling of congressional re-
action, however, indicated desire
to try so-called stop-gap measures,
such as the AZ draft and a check
on job-jumping by occupationally
-deferreu men, before embarking on
more drastic courses of action. Or
ganizeo labor expressed strong hos
tility to labor draft.
Typical of the feeling in congress
was the attitude of Senate Demo-
cratic Leader Alben w. Barkley of
Kentucky.
"The question of what should be
done about getting AIS into essen
tial jobs is wholly independent of
the question of national service leg
islation,' Barkley said. "It should
oe taken up promptly and not have
10 wait on national service legisla-
ton"
Thus, it appeared that the first
legislation on the subject would be
along these lines:
l. A requirement that 4-Fs get
into essential jobs or face induction
into non-combat service or labor
battalions.
2. A similar draft for men who
leave jobs on which they are occu-
pationally deferred to enter less
essential employment.
3. A draft of nurses unless the
present program of voluntary en-
listment gets the 10000 which the
armored forces still need.
