ISTIRNWEISS
 AND WALKER MAY BE SOLD

New York, Jan. 2. (UP)--AEajoE league player deals, some Of which might make the celebrated si75,0 900 walker Cooper purchase look like Q bargain basement" transaction, appeared to be on the griddle today and the St. Louis Cardinals were connected with most of them.
 Owner sam Breadon, who finds himself in the enviable position of being able to break up three-tlmes champion ball club and still have title contender left, indicated that the sale of Cooper, his 3l-year-olu star catcher to the New York Giants, was just starter.
 The willy Breadon almost froze out the Giants on the Cooper deal and forced them to raise their ante at the last minute when the Braves and Phillies raised their bids Tor the player. Both clubs backed down, however, when Breadon refused to make the sale contingent upon Cooper's release from the Navy be- fore the start of the 1046 baseball, season, request which the Giants did not make. "
 Moreover, the Giants failed to land the left-handed pitcher who was supposed to go along in the deal for CoopsD, and because they still desperately need a first line southpaw, probably will continue to dicker with the Cardinals. Giant owner. Horace Stoneham said the Cards did not offer any of the pitchers he wanted, but that he was hopeful a deal would be made.
 Dodgers After Kur0wsh
 Although the new Cardinal man. ager, Eddie Dyer, said he received assurance that shortstop Marty Marion would not be sold, reports still persisted that the long-legged star will be bought by the Phillies for perhaps a quarter of 8 million dollars. The Phils also were inter- ested in third baSeman George Kurowski and outfilder Johnny Hopp of the Cards, while the Dodgers reportedly have offered $65 900 for Kurowski. If that oeal goes through, it will be the nrst transaction between those clubs since Branch Hickey left St. Louis to become general manager m Brooklyn. z.
 That the Cards mean business m big way also was revealed in the sale of infielder Jimmy Brown 70 the Pittsburgh Pirates for re- ported $30,000. .
 Other trade runors indicated the sale of Fred (Dixie) Walker, the Peoples Choice" in Brooklyn. to the Braves for catcher Phil Masi, while either Joe Gordon or Ceorgs Stirnweiss may be sold at fancy figure by the Yankees, solving man aeer Joe McCarthy's problem oL what to do with the extra star second baseman.

Purple Knights To Meet Legion

Thomaston, Jan. - The Amer ican Legion basketball team lost a hard fought game to the Waterbury Globe Trotters at the High School gym Saturday evening. The Soldiers were badly handicapped due to the lack of replacements and were forced to play with only six men.

 WHIP ANSONIA; WILEY ROUTED
By YIN MALONEY, JR.

Approximately 800 filled Wilby Gym to capacity Saturday night, to witness g. sizzling" doubleheadcr in which Bill Tracy's Leavenworth Tigers whipped a classy Ansona combine, 42 to 33, as an after math to Wilby's defeat at the hands of Danbury, 56 to Al.
 For the Engineers this was the second victory in three starts as they dropped their opener to Tor rington by one point, then whipped Wilby. This victory for the Tracy men puts them in second place in the Naugatuck Valley league, only one game behind the league-lead- ing Torrington quintet which has copped all three league tilts to date. For the Purcellmen who suffered a Is point setback at the hands of sharpshooting Danbury array, this was their fifth defeat in seven starts.
 Tech 42; Ansonia B
 The Tech Tigers jumped into an early g to 2 lead as Jimmy Piersall and Joe Cocchiola, fast breaking forwards outstepped the opposing quintet to toss up 2 of the g points to lead going into the second period. Despite the efforts of Frankie Cas- alvieri and Bobby Bryce, Ansonia's $ co-captains, to stem the locals ac- curacy under the basket, the Tracy men again outscored the visitors l2 to to lead at the halftime 2l to IS.
 Although there were times during the first half that the contest was nip and tuck, the speed and ac- curacy of the Engineers gave them meager lead going into the third period. In this frame the Ansonia team sparked by CaSalvieri, Bryce, Alu, and Dudley staged comeback to cut the locals margin to two points until Whitye Korbusieski, Piersall and Cocchiola tossed in 2 points apiece to give Waterbury 34 to 28 advantage going into the final quarter. In the final frame neither team was able to outpoint the other by decisive margin as Tech tossed in 8 points against 5 for the visiting array. Although Casagrande, Casalvieri, Dudley and Alu tried to rally the Ansonia quin- tet and thus cut the locals scoring spree they were unable to pene- trate the Tracymen's defense to a sufficient extent to cop the contest

Danbury 56; WilDy Al.
 Despite the very brilliant offen- sive maneuvering of Buggy Mo Grath, Mario Quattro and Jerry Beccia, Wilby went down to defeat for the fifth time, at the hands of Danbury's sharpshooting twins, Norman Tahan and Emerson Briggs.
 In the opening frame, the visitors sparked by Briggs and Tahan, took advantage of Wilby's weak defense to "pop" shots from all corners Of the court, but were unable to do better than forge a 2 points lead at the end of the first quarter to lead 8 to 6.
 However in the second period the visitors, led by Briggs, Tahan and Green, tossed in i7 points against s for the Purcellmen to lead at halftime g to i3. At this time the spectators expected to see another rout but were rudely awakened In the second half. During the third quarter the Wilby team began play ing as a unit and for the first time during the contest outpolnted their high-stepping opponents ie to IT. and were thus on the short end of a 3s to 32 score going into the final period.
 McGrath and Quattro clinched their roles as high scorers of the contest during this stanza by run. ing their scoring spree up to 1T and i2 respectively. And although they were outpolnted I2 to ' in the final frame by their classy rivals the Grove Etreeters were near the peak of perfection in the second half Of this contest. The summary:

.Stassen Voices Need
For Policy 10 Guard
Labor From Abuse
BY the Assoeioied Press

CLEVELAND, Mar 16-The Ma
ton needs a new labor policy to
safeguard workers against "abuses
by capital or by government or by
any small cliques of dictatorial or
subversive labor leaders" Harold E
Stassen, former Governor of Min
nesota, declared today.
The former flag secretary to Ad-
miral Halsey in the South Pacific
emphasized it should not be an
"anti-labor policy"
The Government, he told the
Cleveland City Club, should require
democracy within labor organiza-
tons and that there be an oppor-
tunity for working men to be we'll
informed of facts of their working
conditions and their contracts"
Mr.. Stassen, regarded as a pos
sible candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1948 as
serted the Government also should
require that officers of unions be
elected at periodic intervals by Sc
cret voting of members and that
strikes be held off until there has
been a reasonable period of nego-
tiation with the assistance of Gov
eminent conciliators"
Results of the negotiations then
should be submitted to union men,
bers for ballot decision, he said.
Criticizing what he termed "old
style diplomatic double talk" Mr.
Stassen said that Ito send the bat
tleship Missouri to Turkey and at
the same time announce that it
has no diplomatic significance, when
the world knows that it does, is not
in my judgment the manner to
solve anything
