NEGRO BASEBALL STARS
BEGIN WORK With ROYALS

SANFORD, Fla, March s.
Baseball broke precedent Of long
standing today when Shortstop
Jackie Robinson and Pitcher John
Wright, two Negro athletes, report
ed for spring training with the Mon
treal Royals, Brooklyn's farm club
in the international league.
Before an interested gathering
of seven spectators, Robinson and
Wright went through the routine
practice motions in a drill that failed
to create as much excitement as
daily battle between the "blues" and
the greens at Hickey university.
The two athletes reported to
Bob Finch, assistant to President
Branch Hickey, Robinson greeting
Finch with a smile as he said, "Well
this is it."
In the absence of Manager Clay
Hopper, who was in Daytona Beach
with a special squad to play the par
ent Dodgers in a practice game,
Finch directed Robinson to take his
turn with the other hitters facing
the mechanical pitcher. He met
some pitches squarely but was so
busy answering reporters and pos
ing for photographers that he had
little time for real workout. Wright
threw to the hitters for short time,
cutting loose with good curve
ball.
Robinson is determined to make
the Montreal club if he possibly can
although he realizes he will have
tough competition for the shortstop
job with Sam Breard, last years
regular returning, and the parent
Brooklyn club so deep in rookie in
fielders.
II don't know how our league
(the Negro American league in
which he played last year, compares
with this league" said the former
football, basketball and baseball star
at USCLA. He is personable, 27,
married only three week ago and
realizes full we'll the problems he
may have to face.

US. MOVES TO HEAD OF TELEPHONE PERIL

NEW YORK, March 5.-Another
last-minute effort. TO head off ma
tion-wide telephone tieup was made
late today when Edgar L. Warren,
director of the u. S. Cancellation
Service, summoned leaders of the
Federation of Long Lines Telephone
Workers, and the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company to
a conference in Washington at 10
am. today.
The company and union received
telephone messages from Warren
requesting the conference.
The summons followed by a few
hours assertions by union leaders
that the walkout, set for 6 a. m.
Thursday, would begin as sched-
uled, after another meeting over
wages ended early today without
agreement.
The Federation of Long Lines
Telephone Workers is the key group
in the National Federation of Tele-
phone Workers (Ind.).
In Washington, Warren said the
conferences here would be a re-
sumption Of the New York negoti-
ations, but said various methods of
averting the strike would be dis
cussed if an agreement could not
otherwise be reached.
These methods, he said, undoubt-
edly would include fact finding and
arbitration.
Warren said, if settlement could
be effected by the Long Lines Fed
GRAFTON, he believed there would be
a very good chance of getting the
other situations cleared up."
Joseph A. Beirne, president of the
National Federation of Telephone
Workers, is not expected to partici-
pate in today's meeting. In addition
to G. S. Dring, assistant vice presi-
dent Of the A. T. and T., and John
j. Moran, president of the Long
Lines Federation, bargaining teams
from both sides, are expected to
come to Washington.
When today's meeting ended, Mo-
ran said:
'The unions demands of 1917
cents per hour, which have not been
met up until now, and the COM
pany's offer of approximately Is
cents, leave us with but one alterna-
tive and that is to complete our ar
rangements for a strike"

Red Price Too Stiff For Nazis
 Axis Espousal
 With RG sians
 Falls Through

Nuremberg, April 1-CUP)-Joac- him Won Ribbentrop told the War Crimes Court today that the NaziS tried for months before the war to manipulate Russia into a full- 1iedged Axis pact but failed because the Soviet counter demands were too stiff.
 Ribbentrop testified that Russia wanted Finland, points of sup port" in the Balkans and specifi- cally in Bulgaria, and access to the Baltic, the Skagerrak and the Dardanelles as the price of e tri- partite pact with the Nazis and Italy.
 After comforting with Benito Mussolini, the witness said, Adolf Hitler turned down the Soviet de- nands and the negotiations look ing to the three- power pact includ- ing Russia collapsed.
 Ribbentrop said that by the m- clusion of Russia, the Axis would have become such strong caol- ition that it would have forced England to seek peace"
 The prosecution opened the cross examination of Ribbentrop after the tribunal permitted the reading of an affidavit concerning a secret Nazi-Soviet pact on the division of Poland.
 The court overrlled objections by Gen. Roman A. Rudenko, chief Soviet prosecutor, that i've are not here to investigate the policies of the Allied nations, but the crimes of the main German war criminals" !"
 Rudolf Seldl, defense counsel for Rudolf Hess was allowed to read the disputed affidavit of Frederick Gaus which the defense tried to introduced last week. It gace sub stantfally the same account as Ribbentrop, who said it was agreed during the Soviet-Nazi negotia- tions that territories taken from these two. powers by force Of arms would be reunited with them by force of arrns.y

 Some May Stick

Washington, April 1-I(UP) Pub lished charges that they were spon- soring meeting here of Q Com munist front organization today put score of CongreSsmen on the spot. Some of them are expected to withdraw their names, but most of them probably will stick 1t out through the April 4-5-6 meeting of the 'Win-the-P Peace Conference" Some notable Communist Party line followers are listed among the numerous Congressional and non- Congressional sponsors of the con- ference along with persons who have no connection whatever with the Communist Party.
 Rep. Luther Patrick, (D..Ala.) ) already has demanded removal of his name from the sponsor list. Patrick predicted that Rep. Estes Kefauver, (D. .-Tenn.), also would withdraw when he returns to Wash- ington. Patrick said the conference promoters had not obtained per- mission to use his name and that "there are too many plnks and Reds among the list of sponsors' for him to be associated with the movement.
 Sabbath Denies Reports
 Rep. Adolph. J. Sabbath, (D.-Ill.) who made the original conference announcement on March { at the request of left-wing elements was asked about the Communist front reports.
 "That's bunk" said Sabbath. Let those who say so look over the names"
 Rep. Charles B. Savage, O. Wash.), another of the Congress ional sponsors, also denied the re- ports.
