NeuU England Facing
Excellent Prospects
BIackall Claims Regions Business
Outlook Brightest in Years:
High Production Peaks Seen

Providence, r. l., March 23-(UP)
New England Is facing its bright
est business outlook in years, &C
cording to President Frederick S.
Blackall, Jr., of the New England
Council who said today that the re-
glon's industries should soon enjoy
high production peaks.
In speech prepared for the 82nd
quarterly meeting OF the council
here, Blackall said business pros
poets are excellent in textiles, leath-
err products, jewelry, lumber and
wood products and rubber.
Even the New England farmer,
he said, has been producing at a
high level despite serious shortages
of feed, fertilizer and farm machin-
cry. Blackall added, however, that
price relief Is essential if operating
losses and declining production are
to be avoided. He said manufac-
turerS in all the previously-me1l-
toned industries are squeezed be-
tween low price ceilings and high
labor and material costs.
A favorable factor for New Eng
land industry was cited by Blackall
as the growing trend toward deem
tralization of the mass production
industries now centered in the
middle west,
Its effects are evident in such
new developments as the establish
ment OF the General Motors plant
at birmingham, Mass, and re-
viYing interest on the part Of extra
regional producers in subcontracting
for machined parts and other metal
products among New England
plants" he said.
Blackall charged that reconver-
sion has not been as rapid as 1t
should have been, due to bureau
cratic double talk which ignores the
direct relationship between labor
costs and prices, ignores fundamen-
tails in economics and is largely re-
sponsible for the wave Of strikes"
New England is facing "a parting
Of the ways" he declared. One road
leads to rebirth Of industrial
might while the other road leads to
decay and stagnation, he said.
THE recognition Of basic econom-
ic law and the natural incentives
of freedom of enterprise are the
things which will make New Eng
land greater If we adhere to them, "
Blackall said.
The Council was told by Rep. A,
s. Mike Monroney, D., Okla, that
Congress must be reorganiZed II
representative government Is to be
preserved.
He said that Congress lis trying
to operate and supervise the worlds
largest enterprise with an old-fash-
ioned bookkeeper'S stool, a slant top
desk, a Civil war ledger and quill
pen"
Monroney spoke in favor Of the
policies Of the LaFollette-Monroney
joint committee on the organization
Of Congress. He said his committees
37-point program would rule out
the danger Of government "by one
man."

Derby Winner On His Woy To Triple Crown
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Sports Editor

Baltimore, May 8-(NEA)-As- sault the Texas-owned and bred chestnut takes another of his sire's footsteps in the historic Preakness Stakes at Pimlico on Saturday.
 Bold Venture, the daddy, broke down after bagging this one, thus was denied the opportunity of wiIl- ming the Triple Grown in The Bel mont Stakes, something Assault and his deformed right forefoot seem on their way to do. at the mo- ment.
 A dozen are expected to go in The Preakness with six in addition to Assault coming from the Ken lucky Derby.
 Maine Chances Lord Boswell will have to strike back hard with much better racing luck than he had near the upper turn at Churchill Downs if Assault is going to be given too much trouble by any of those from which he ran away in the Run for the Roses. The King Ranch colt has clearly demonstrated that he can handle the rest in any kind of going.
 The others here from Churchill Downs are Knockdown, Hampden, Alamond Rippey and Marine Vic- tory.
 Spy Song, second in the Derby after setting the pace to the head of the stretch, is not eligible for The PreakneSs.
 Seven making their bow on three year-old big time in The Preakness have yet to demonstrate that they belong on the same track with Assault, Hampden, Lord Bos- well and Knockdown. They are

A 5-3 victory for Farrel Foundry over Mattatuck Mfg. was the result of the best-played of four IRA. national division softball games last night. Bristol Company scored in all but one inning for a 14-2 win over Plume & Atwood; Lux Clock defeated Waterbury Mfg. 1924 and Patent Button was a 9-2 winner over Waterbury Companies in other games played
 Wallin's hitting for Farrel was a feature, including a home run and two-base hit with Schlander and Fournier going well for Mattatuck. Gallulo gave Plume-Atwood batters just hits, Cassidy and Bartosinski hitting home runs for Bristol Com pany; DePalma getting two PA hits. Lux pitcher, Eddie Korr gave out 5 hits and scored a run himself with homer in the first Lux win to date; while W-M made six er- .'ors.

Club Never Has Won 13 In o Row

Boston, May 8. CUP)-After winning l2 straight games the Bos- ton Red sox win try to lose today lose the distinction of being the only major league baseball team that has never won 1S straight.
 Visitors this dank day which the weather bureau promises will be clearing and warmer by game time are their pale White Sox cousins from Chicago who will be meeting Boston for the first time this year.
 Despite the fact that they twice have won the world series the Req A-u4i never nave won more than 12 straight games. The last time they did it was in 1899 and the present unbeaten streak is the longest the major leagues have seen in five years.
 Jinx
 This, however, could be the day the jinX is broken. The Chicago club that appears in the Fenway Park death house is clinging des- perately to fifth place-four games out of the American League cellar. Joe Haynes has the dubious honor of facing the modern ,'murderer'S row" the Red Sox have fashioned while Mickey Harris with four wins and no losses will be on the mound for Boston.
 At the moment the Red Sox lead the second place New York Yankees by 3k games and third place De- troit by 714.
 In the longest game o1 the cur rent major league season yester- Qay, the bosoX kept their record clean by beating the St. Louis Browns, 1O to 6, on Leon Culbert- sons grand slam homerun in the 14th inning. Hitless in five previous trips to the plate, the chunky out 1leloer turned thi1d baseman, blasted the first ball pitched to him over the left field renee to score behind Andy Gilbert, Dom DiNdag- gio and Hal Wagner.
 Trailing until the seventh inn ing, Boston took advantage of a pa1r of errors by Shortstop Mark Chlistman to push over two runs ana tie the game. From then on, Southpaw Clem Dreisewerd shut out the visitors until Culberson de- iivereu his lethal smash, ana was credited with his second triumph of the season. Cecil (Tex) Hughson started on the hill for Boston but failed to survive third ming uprising.
 Ted Williams and Rudy York with three hits apiece paced the Red Sox at the plate. William de- livered his fifth round-t -tripper in the third with Johnny Pesky on the basepaths.
 Javery vs. Wyse
 Meanwhile the third place BoS- ton Braves, two games out of the top spot in the National League, move into Chicago with big Al Javery to joust with the Cubs. Henry (Hank) Wyse, who has won once in t. rts, will be the op- posing hu,

smack dab in Baltimore. Like the Derby it is worth $10O,000 in added money, for the first time an ap- proximate gross of $125, 900. Assault is in a grand position to win S90,S 900 more for Robert J. Kleberg.
 Along with the trend there will be record mutuel handle and att tendance with a crowd of more than 5000 overflowing out into the in- field.
 The Preakness outdates the Der by, having first been run in 1873, but the Battle for the Black-E Eyed Susans was discontinued from 1889 to 1909, period of 20 years.
 The Preakness, named after the horse that won the race which led to its inception, has been won by more famous horses than the Der by.
 The Lorillards had a lease on the big number in its early days. Piere Lorillard bagged it with Shir- ley in 1876; G. L. Lorillard with Duke of Magenta in '78, Harold in '79, Granada in 80, Saunterer in '81 and Vanguard in 82. How that? Five straight and six out of seven.
 In latter years the Preakness has been captured by such renowned steeds as Sir Barton, Man O War Gallant Fox Burgoo King, Omaha Bold Venture, War Admiral, Chal- ledon, Bimelech, Whirlaway, Alsah and Count Fleet. Man 0, War didn't go to the Derby, Challedon, Bime- lech and Alsab ran second in it.
 Mrs. P. A. B. Widener's Polyne- sian came down in front in the Preakness a year ago, and then dropped out of sight as though swallowed by the mud in which he oallOped.
