 Does Not ExpIoin Move

New York, Oct. 25. (UP)-By a process of elimination, Charley Dressen, a baseball brain-truster, was today's most logical bet to be- come manager of the New York Yankees.
 Dressen, who resigned as coach of the Brooklyn Dodgers yesterday, without giving any reason, was ex- pected to be named shortly to the post that long has been considered the best in baseball -bossing the talented crew of stars which makes It's headquarters at Yankee Sta dium.
 It was virtually certain that Dressen would SO to the Yankees, but there were some reports that he might come as coach in which case President Larry MacPhail still would have the job of selecting his manager.
 First Choice Was DurOcher
 That MacPhail had decided to entrust the reins to Dressen, how ever, seemed logical in view of the fact that the veteran coach was manager of the Cincinnati Reds from 1884 through 1887 when Mac Phail raf that club.
 MacPhail virtually admitted that his first choice as manager had been Dodger pilot Leo Durocher, who won a pennant for him in Brooklyn in 1941.
 But when Durocher said at the finish of the 1946 pennant race that he hoped to stay in Brooklyn for the rest of his life, MacPhail was forced to look for another can didate.
 He reportedly attempted to WOO Frank Oefty) O'Doul, the manager of the San Francisco Seals from his lucrative West Coast job, but O'Doul this week signed new con- tract there, indicating that he brushed off the temperamental Larry.
 Harris Doesn't Want Job
 Stanley (Bucky) Harris, former major league manager, who came to the Yankees late in the 1946 season as an administrative assist ant to MacPhail repeatedly has been mentioned as candidate for the post and just as repeatedly has said that he does not want 1t.
 Harris has insisted that his value to baseball now consists entirely of supervisory work and that he no longer has the desire to direct team from the field. However, it was understood that MacPhail of- fered him the post and attempted to persuade him to accept 1t.
 Whether Harris might reconsider was a matter of conjecture, but. close friends doubted that he would do so.
 Other possible candidates were Frankie Frisch, depoSed manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Jimmy Dykes, now manager at Hollywood who resigned during the early part of the 1946 season as manager of the Chicago White Sox.

MacPhail was said to have turned thumbs down on both of them be- cause they had been associated with losing ball clubs and as such were bad psychological risks. The 48-year-old Dressen was given a large share of credit for the success of Brooklyn's young team this year. Steadier than Duro- cher, he coinplefnented fiery Dodger pilot perfectly, working with great patience on young pitchers, going to great detail to explain the finer arts of base running to rookie stars, and appearing in every game as one of the best third base coaches in the business.
 When Durocher was absent from the club, Dressen always took over, and generally had been regarded as Leo's heir apparent. When he announced yesterday that he had resigned, Dodger President Branch Rickey said that he was "very much disappointed
 T hope Charley reconsiders and decides to stay with us," Hickey said. we certainly don't want to lose him."
 Dressen also Is regarded as one of the best signal stealers in base ball and is famed for his ability to observe give aways" in the deliv- cry of opposing pitchers.
 He had a long and outstanding career as . major league third baseman before starting his man. agerial and coaching career as pilot of the Nashville, Tenn, Volunteers of the Southern Association in 1882
 He came to the Reds as man ager in 1884 and left to go to the Dodgers as coach in 1889 where he remained until yesterday.

The last issue of The Sub had an excellent piece on its editorial page concerning this subject, bring ing out in particular the high over head that the Boat Go. staggerS along under. The Go. was asked to prove its sincerity by creating an efficient administrative set-up be- fore expecting the employees to consider lower wage rates. The management could we'll heed these word of wisdom.
 No union that is sincerely dedi- cated to the principle of raising the working mans standard of living can be expected to approve of low CT wages. especially during period of rising price levels.
 On the other hand, no manu- featuring concern can long pay higher wages than its efficient com- petitors for equal amounts of work. There Is, however, an in-between ground that evidently has not been explored and this is the incentive plan. If sincerely followed through by both the management and the workers, this could solve our problem here.
 The Go. has not made 1t clear just what it proposes to manu- facture, but most things can be produced under a fairly simple in- centiVe plan. The failure of the bonus plan here couple years ago was probably due to the vast com plications of applying such a sys- tem to submarine construction.

Shipyard Unions
 Press Pay Case

Washington, D. C.-Leaders of organized labor in the shipbuild- ing industry met with top admin istration officials and demanded that the government carry out it's solemn pledge to preserve the real" wages of 750,00O shipyard workers.
 The barley is an aftermath of the national shipbuilding wage con- ference which ended in a dead lock at Colorado Springs, Colo, af- ter two weeks of negotiations. West Coast shipyard owners at the Colorado Springs confab declared their willingness to talk business" on a wage increase, but most man. agements from other areas refused to go along.
 President John P. Frey of the AFL Metal Trades Department, stressed the fact that the govern ment, by virtue of past promises, has binding obligation to see that the shipyard employees get a square deal now.
 He pointed out that since April l. 1941. these employees received an increase in their rates of only Fl per cent, though. even official figures concede that prices during the war have scooted up B per cent.

 In essence they are saying that we must do two things simultane- ously-one, immediately; the other, beginning immediately, but carry ing on continuously.
 We must first have an effective world organization to which all the peoples of the earth will adhere.

a successful incentive system. Most important, perhaps, is that it re- wards skill and diligence, in a personal way. This is not always the case under the usual wage set- up.
 Another advantage Is that there is more production per man-hour of labor, as the lazy are diciplined by their own fellow workers, and either reform or drop out. The ex- tra pay Is more than made up by increased production from the same equipment, the same floor space, and the same number of workers.
 The incentive plan is a complete and healthy negation of the strange, deadening idea of the showdown" that seems to be prevelant in SO many industrial plants. This Com- muniSt-inspired doctrine has been heard here, and is not entirely Q trumped-up charge against Labor.
 A genuine wage-slave is a per- son to be pitied-and helped: but an ambitious working man proper ly rewarded for his skill and high production is not slave to any system. Far from taking away jobs from other workers by his high production, he creates new jobs by building new home, or buying new car, etc., with the extra money he takes home. This is the very backbone of the Am- erican way of life.
