Crimmins Draws
Norris Praise
By JOE NORRIS

Most remarkable thing about a
huge pile of records covering 10
years of bowling in The Detroit
Times Classic is the fact Johnny
Crimmins never has gone under
a 200 average in the league. A
tough test that brings you to 80
different houses every year, every
member knows it's difficult
enough to average 200 for just
one season-but Johnny has done
it for 10 straight! That alone
should prove he is one OF the
greatest of all time.
The General has led the pa
rade four different times-l937-
38. 1883, 1943-44 and 1944-45.
He started off with 2Ol.59 in
1885, and then as the years
went by tackled on 2OO.3S, 2O5. 10,
209.32, 203.92, 203.57, 2O5.55,
2O2. 70, 205.4 and 205.24. This
gives the Parisclean pilot a grand
average of 204.318 for 876 games
over the 10-year stretch, making
him kingpin of the whole setup.
JOE LED s TIMES
A guy named Joe Norris is sec
ond with 203.394 for 843 games.
Editors note: This same
"guy," captain OF the Stroh
team, topped the averages three
times, himself-posting an all
time high of 211.28 In 19S9-40
and, with Crimmins, has
made the race In that depart
ment practically a two-man
affair since the leagues incep-
tion.)
Fred Wolf. who unfortunately
had to drop out because OF back
ailment, and Wally Reppenhagen
are third and fourth with 1878
and 197.247. Fred Breckles of De-
luxweld is right on Repps belt
with 1877 .245.
Cass Grygier, another Stroh
name, and E & B captain Louie
Sielaff have 1911 and 1878
for sixth and seventh. Charles
Ketarski t195 .586t and Phil Bau-
man (194.749), Fife teammates,
and Mineralite leader Harold AL
len (194.71O, round out the first
10 in the 10-year class.
THREE ROLL 908 GAMES
It is interesting to note three
men hold the record for most
games rolled. Sielaff, Paul Scrib-
ner and Dick Krakow have each
chalked COG lines. The latter two
no longer are in the league. In
fact, only IS of the more than SO

are still taking their turns.

Emergency Measures
Demanded by Legion
To House Veterans

Immediate relief for homeless
veterans was the goal announced
today by the American Legion s
Department Housing Committee
with the backing of 60 Legion posts.
On the theory it will be at least
year before the national housing
program bears fruit and several
months before $50 temporary hous-
ing units can be erected in the Dis
trict. the committee demanded that:
l. Federal Government and semi
official agencies move out of apart
ment buildings being used for Offices.
g Legislation be enacted. If nee
essary. to prohibit landlords from
discriminating against veterans be-
cause of religious beliefs or becausr
they have children.
3. Reasonable controls be set L
preventing owners of Residential
property from circumventing the
District Rent Control Act by LEASING
such property for use as offices.
4. Discontinuance of the practice
of razing residential property for
commercial buildings and parking
lots.
Under the direction of A. E. Cas-
grain and in cooperation with
other groups, the committee is
surveying housing needs. The Le-
gion is urging every member to
make spare rooms available to
veterans.
The housing committee of Coole,
Mccullough Legion Post, pointing
out that several thousand veteran,
are living in the city with unem-
ployment checks the only apparent
means of support, has urged the
Veterans Placement Service of the
United States Employment Service
to devise an educational program fo,
the relocation of these men. Many
are farmers, unskilled laborers ano
tradesmen for whom the District
has no employment, it was said.
The legion housing committee will
meet at 8 pm. Tuesday, May %
at the legion club house for further
| discussion of prOblemS.

cheering crowd in this former leftist
stronghold yesterday that Russia
after shutting down her churches
was now reopening them lin an i'm
perialist attempt to dominate the
world"
Amid shouts of Spain yes, Com
munism no, Franco spoke for 40
minutes in the central square of
this mining capital in a Northern
Spain area, where Socialist and
Communist elements once predomi-
mated
Il should like your cry Spain
yes, Communism no to reach every
corner of the world, so it may
know the feeling of all Spain,
Franco said.
1T will" voices in the crowd
replied.
Franco asserted that the Soviet
Union had engaged in a mockery
OF destroying private property
religion and the army, and then
restoring them. The Russians, he
said, after abolishing military deco
rations, now authorized them to be
worn on the sleeve, because there
was no room left on the chest.
The generalissimo declared that
when the French were driven from
Spain in the last century, they left
behind heritage of decadence
masonry and political parties
Spanish Republicans who took
refuge in France after the civil
war, he said, were sent to con-
centration camps and installed
there like cattle" after which they
were taken ito work like animals

Highway Delegates
Leave 10 Garry Out
Safety Programs

Delegates to the Presidents High
way Safety Conference returned to
their homes today convinced they
can induce their State governments
and the people to pay the price for
traffic safety by completely over
hauling their traffic control and en-
| forcement machinery.
Warned by w. Earl Hall, chairman
of the National Committee for
Traffic Safety, that they can't as
sumo the public either knows how
or is willing to foot the bill for re-
ducing accident casualties. delegates
of every State stood up at the closing
session yesterday to express conf
dence in their ability to get the
mammoth job done.
They carried back with them spe-
cific recommendations for reducing
accidents, the result of months of
work by eight standing committees
The conference adopted the reports
at the final session and agreed to
help organize Federal, State and
local committees to prepare and pro-
mote legislation necessary to carry
them out.
50 Per Cent Cut in Toll Seen.
The national fatality rate per 100,-
000, 900 vehicle-miles can be brought
down from IL to within three
years, with even a reasonable ap-
plication of our new know-how,"
according to Paul G. Hoffman,
chairman of the Committee on
Organized Public Support.
AS q result of the conference,
Governors of every State will be
urged to call conferences to gain
support for changes in motor vehicle
laws that will make them conform
to the uniform vehicle code.
But don't call these conferences
until your program is ready" Mr.
Hoffman advised II Governors in
his audience at the Departmental
Auditorium.
The code, written originally in
1924 at a conference called by the
Secretary of Commerce, has been
kept up to date by the National
Conference on Street and Highway
Safety. It was republished last year
in the form of five laws providing
uniform motor vehicle administra-
ton, licensing, civil liability, safety
responsibility and highway traffic
regulations.
District Follows Code.
The Districts traffic regulations
either are based on or are identical
with the code but it's licensing law
is not as comprehensive" the Com
mittee on Laws and Ordinances re-
ported. 1t also noted that in the
District maximum speed limits are
Unusually restrictive outside of busi-
ness and residential districts"
The conference advocated con-
sideration of a legal requirement
that physicians and surgeons report
physical defects who may affect
the ability of persons to drive a car
Federal licensing Of all motorists
was disapproved in favor of uni
form State laws. To enforce the
laws. the conference suggested po-
licemen make routine safety checks
