STEEL ROW HINGES
ON new 0PALET

PITTSBURGH, 3. Jan. 80. TIP
Settlement of the vast steel strike
apparently still hinged tonight on
whether the industry obtained a
price for products which its rep.
resentatives considered sufficient
to enable them to meet wage IN
crease demands.
The strike, in which the Go
United Steelworkers asks an 10
~ cents an hour increase, went
through it's tenth day. Thousands
of workers have been laid off IN
allied industries dependent on
steel, and many companies are
planning furloughing OF employees
within the next few weeks unless
an agreement starts up the wheels
of production.
The steel union estimates that
.ssomewhere between 100000 and
900, 0O0'' members are directly en-
ga aged in the walkout, but agree
ments reached independently with
30 smaller fabricating companies
have. returned approximately 49,
600 to their jobs.
The government was reported to
have given it's 'last word" to the
industry on what price increases it
would approve. Benjamin F. Fair
less. president of U. S. Steel cor
poration, who spent yesterday in
shington, returned to- his desk
in New York and spokesman said
there was no comment on this is
sue.
Reconver&on Director John W.
Snyder has expressed optimism
over the prospects Of settlement.
However, top officials at Wash
ington have been sticking with a
price boost of 81 ton, and Chair
man Irving S. Olds of y. S. Steel
said only yesterday an increase
livery much more than 81 would
be necessary if wages are increas-
ed by IS cents, the figure offered
by the corporation to the union.
OPA has been reported staying
steadfast with its previous high of
$3.50 ton.

THEFT OF GOODS
TOTALS MILLIONS

PARIS, Jan. 30.-U.H- Loans
are being negotiated in Washing
ton to permit European countries
to buy up surplus U. S. army
stocks which are so inadequately
guarded that 100000 worth Of
goods is being stolen every month,
it was disclosed today.
Officials of the Foreign Liquida-
ton commission told a senate SUBJ
committee investigating surplus
stocks that all loans would be for
30 years, and that one tor $780,
100000 is being negotiated with
Russia.
In addition to a $45, 1000, 900 re.
verse lend-lease credit already al.
loted to Belgium, they testified
that loans are being considered of
$50, 100000 each to Poland and
Czechoslovakia and $1,000, 900 each
to Finland and Holland.
Earlier, John C. Wirden, central
European manager of the office
of the Foreign Liquidation commits
sioner, said the sale of surplus
goods will be delayed unless re-
placements are found to handle
and guard the material now that
rehabilitation is draining mill
tary personnel out of Europe.
Questioned about an OFLC prac-
tlce of not selling stocks at more
than fixed ceiling price, Wirden
said it is not the commission s
policy to take advantage of exist
ing shortages of goods in European
countries. This policy, he said, is
In contrast with British practice
in the Middle East, where buyers
are beng charged as much as 500
per cent more than the normal
price for certain goods.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 30-tRH
Canada's wartime munitions chief
said tonight that Britain should pay
her debt to America in western
hemisphere bases or by other
mutually satisfactory" settlement.
William Flockert Drysdale,
speaking as "a private CITIZEN"
declared the grim specter'' of
debt forgiveness must not arise in
this new age of infinite threats
and dangers as it $50 unhappily
arose after the first world war;"
Drysdale, in a speech prepared
for delivery to the Albany County
Historical society, said Britain S

Dated"
"Contractual arrangements for
payment" he said, could be either
by permanent cession or by leases
of heightened tenure, of present
or different lands in or contiguous
to the waters of the western hemis-
phere; and - or by such other
media of installment payments as
are mutually satisfactory"
He said England's staggering
war losses, especially the destruc-
ton or damaging of 1000, 1000
homes, must be replaced '.if Bri-
tain is to continue as useful ally
in the company of enlightened
nations"
Between neighbors and allies
and comrades in past times of
peril, that may arise again, there
must be no sordid question of the
cost of such human and necessary
help. xxx past, present and future

fellowship for advanced study at
Columbia university looked mighty
good a few weeks ago to w. Ned

But he was back today to re-

that his wife had retained their

He just couldn't find a place
to live in New York, and after
days of fruitless search decided to
give up the fellowship. =

Artful Art Fitzgerald was on the Yale scene less than 48-hours last Fall before he galloped to a game winning touchdown against Dart game Yale won by a 6 to 0 count. He followed this up with real fireworks in the windup game against Harvard, scoring three times to set modern record for scored against the Can- tabs by Yale man in a single game. Although used in a fullback slot last Fall after being assigned to Yale by the Navy, it's probable that Art might get the call at one of the half-back stations this year. He can run with the best of them and also throws a fine pass. In his junior and senior years at Ridge field, N.J) High School he was an in football and basketball and won all-district honors in base ball. During the 1914 season he was a member of the Notre Dame var sity before enlisting at the Navy and was assigned to Westminster College before the shift to New Ha- ven.

 Club Seeking MdoorQuarters
By LOIS MORRISSEY

Torrington, Sept. 18-Matchmaker Nunzio Iacino announced today that negotiations are underway to secure a new location in which to hold weekly boxing events. MT Iacino and Promoter Bill Dandrea complet- ed a successful outdoor season Thursday night and at first sought the spacious Armory as the site of the Winter seasons indoor con- tests.
 MT. Iacino, however, said that several problems stood in the way of securing this location. He pointed out that, although the seating cap acity is large, in order to accom- modate the expected 1,200 fight fans, it would be necessary to in stall bleachers. He said that the added expense of such a move would be prohibitive.
 The well-known matchmaker also pointed out that the Armory is be- ing used at the present time for other activities and said that time would have to be spent in arrang- ing for an open date. And in addi- tion to all these drawbacks" he said, Tin order to show a profit for the Winter season we would have to find location with a lower rem tai than the Armory."
 The past season, termed success ful" by MT. Iacino, drew capacity cvrowds each Thursday evening. MT. Iacino expressed the opinion that the coming Winter season would prove similar During the Summer the outdoor bouts were rained out twice and boasted 12 successful cards.
 In announcing the plans for the coming season, fight officials named no particular bouts, but MT. Iacino said that, as in the past, the man. agement would attempt to bring is only the best semi-pro fighters ap- bearing in the state.

 The local IRA. is attempting to create enough interest among the member companies in lawn bowling and pistol shooting, as new activi- ties to be promoted in their pro- gram. In lawn bowling, four com- /, panies have indicated that they either have teams or are interested in promoting this activity within their plants. Scovill and American Brass have organized teams while VI S' ililC dllb 49uA S1OCh IldNG dicated their interest in the activi- ty. Although it has not yet started in their company athletic programs.
 In the pistol shoot, American Brass would be in a position to field a team while several of the other companies have indicated that they would be interested in starting such an event. A meeting for each of these activities has been planned for a later date, depending upon the interest shown from other member companies not yet heard | from.
 The State lawn bowling industrial championship will be held in Bridgeport Saturday, the 28th. It is expected that the local associa ton will be represented by two company teams in the state tourney. All teams interested in either of the above activities have been requested to contact the IRA. director in care of the Central YM.C.A. as soon as possible.

Well, if the first two weeks of play may be used as crystal ball, indications point to well balanced league this season. There doesn't seem to be a real powerhouse or doormat team in the entire circuit which should tend to keep interest at a high pitch throughout the season, which in turn makes our Friday night sessions that much more exciting.
 If "Coily" Hallenborg's Machin- ists had any designs of making 8 fast getaway after winning their first three starts, Palmer's Rollers quickly nipped that idea in the bud by sweeping an entire set from the erstWhile leaders to create a triple tie for first place. "Coily" was in his best voice and Billy Foote was in his best shoes but even that wasn't enough to overcome Tony Garafano's 152 seasons high single and high three of 368 and the Rol- lers went on to establish early league team marks of 544 and l540.
 The Automatics with Thin Man" Mendillo and Squire" Cipriano, the Prospect farming expert, who be- tween them threaten to outlook the rest of the league doublehanded, setback Jumping Joe' Adamchick's Clerks by a 2-1 margin. Steve Jager and Bill Becker, who also know lot about curves are proving pleas ant surprises to Mendillo. Each clipped in with better than 300 set.
 Captain Georgie Skilton, the Ply mouth rage, who has probably made as many women swoon as Sinatra or Van Johnson, was responsible for his teams first two victories of the season at the Packers expense. His great clutch bowling pulled both wins out of the well known fire. Nick Carosella, flashed some old time form in the last game for Tony vaitkus's, Club but had little
