FourGomes Scheduled
 Wednesday

The C.Y.O League starts it's sec- ond round of play tonight in Naugatuck. The first round, par- ticularly in. the Eastern Division was marked by hard fought games. St. Lucy's won the honors, but only by single game. Along With that three teams wound up in a tie for second place.
 The teams in this half of the league are pretty evenly matched as proved by the fact that last week St. Francis Xavier's nine which had not won a game, set back St. Francis of Naugatuck, one of the strongest teams in the league
 Outstanding in the first round of play were DiLeo and MaSsimo of St Lucy Geary and Carlone of SS Peter & Paul, UszakieWicz and San Angelo of Naugatuck. Bowling and Heidkamp of the Immaculate. Abbandolo of St. Francis X and Walsh of St Thomas.
 Mount Carmel Tops
 In the Western division of the league the heavy hitting Mt Car mel array was just about the whole show LaWlor, Recehia and SinkoWicz battered every pitcher whom they faced and it was on the strength of their attack that Mt. Carmel went through the first round unbeaten
 St. Michaels looked ~ f they had enough power to cope with Father RivardS team. but when the showdown came last week Mt Car mel dropped the Vile lads into sec ond place St Johns played 500 ball in the first round and they may have surprise or two in store for the leaders in the next round.
 St. Ann's definitely has a strong team, but they have not been get ting the breaks St. Josephs gave both Mt. Carmel and St Michaels plenty of trouble in their first meeting and they have the power to upset them in their second round clash

NEA Sports Editor By HARRY CRIMSON

New York. July Is NEA)-Like many another famous baseball fiure, Walter Perry Johnson left the game bitterly disappointed
 Walter Johnson was practically booed out of old League Park, Cleveland. in August, 1885, for do- ing the best he could With what he had.
 It's too bad that the Big Train did not hang on for another year because then tn, greatest pitcher who ever lived would have man. aged the boy who generally is con- sidered the closest approach to him. Bob Teller
 Johnson was as nice fellow as he was a pitcher however, too decent and soft spoken to handle a lot of roughneck ballplayers.
 Alya Bradley offered to make him vice president and general manager Of the Indians, but Barney had enough
 Johnson generally is rated the daddy of them all despite the fact that everybody in the park knew what he was going to throw, and that the batter was perfectly safe in swinging at it.
 A pendulum arm swung from Johnson's shoulder, that propelled the pellet ike a slingShot. The large Kansans sweeping, effortless delivery was little lower than that Of a side-ar pitcher The ball was either fast or faster and the Big Trains theory was that pitcher might as well pour tue pi.. through there while he had 1t.
 Remarkable .-.
 Had there been a mean streak in Johnson. batters would not have dared to leave the dugout. But Barney had remarkable control especially for one so sWift-and not once in 20 years did he dust of a batter
 Shortly before the fine Cleye- land shortstop was killed by Carl Mays bean ball in 1920 Billy Evans called a second strike on Ray Chapman in game pitched by Johnson. Chapman started for the bench
 You have another strike com ing Ray said Umpire Evans.
 Never mind Billy replied Chapman, T don't want 1t
 Had Johnson been ambitious to establish records, he would have set more than he did and more than a dozen of his marks still stand despite the fact that he spent half of his 20 years with a second division ensemble of Sena- tors. His total strikeouts, 3497, is likely to stand for all time. He had earned-run marks of l09 in 1913, III in 14, 1855 in IS. 189 in '16

French Loses
 Thriller, 3-2, To Tool Team

The Waterbury Tools undefeated record in the American Division of the Industrial Softball League came very near being spoiled by the French Manufacturing Company, but three runs in the last inning netted them 3 to 2 victory, their ninth consecutive triumph.
 The Tool trailed by two runs going into the seventh when they pulled the contest from the fire. Don Fras- CT opened with a walk but was forced at second by pitcher Hardy Brownell. Bill Steinmetz singled and Hank Flanagan walked to fill the bases. Esposito then passed Mario Verdosci forcing in the first run and Steinmetez scored the tying marker on a squeeze play. When Esposito threw wild past first after fielding Ed Lafferty's bunt on /the play, Flanagan raced home with the de- ciding marker.
 French scored two runs off Brow nell in the second on a walk to Ray mond, Jim Bowes' triple and wild pitch.

NEW DELHI, India, Dec. 16. (P.-
The Constituent Assembly adjourned
today until Tuesday after hearing
four of Al proposed amendments to
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's resolu-
ton for creation of an Independent,
sovereign republic of India. No
action was taken.
DIR. Mukund Ramrao Jayakar,
former federal and privy council
Judge, proposed that discussions of
the constitution be postponed until
the Moslem League and Indian
states participate.
..At this stage, no question Of lay
ing down fundamentals of a consti-
tuition can be argued" he said. "It
will not be possible for us to frame
one constitution for the whole Of
India as union"
He said no constitution passed
now by the Assembly would be bind
ing on the Moslem League and In
dian states, which have made it
clear they will not participate in a
Constituent Assembly composed of
one party"
An amendment offered by a Com
muniSt to rewrite Mr.. Nehru's resolu-
ton was ruled out of order.

dental candidates who, he said,

gressive forces which he said were
seeking a new leader to take the
place of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Potofsky said the Nation needs
IAN inspiring national leader around
whom all progressive forces can
rally.
"Men are emerging like Gen. Ike
Eisenhower and Gov. Arnall OF
Georgia, Henry A. Wallace and Sen
ator Pepper, and maybe it is not
wishful thinking to expect that from
the Republicans will come q man
like the late Wendell Willkie within
the next few months to lead the

Voluntary Returns
Found Best Solution
10 Refugee Problem
BY ths A.seeiotsd Press

LONDON, Dec. 16. = Sir Herbert
Emerson, director of the 4ntergov-
ernmental Committee on Refugees,
reported today that voluntary re-
patriation is by far the most salts
factory" method Of solving the dis
placed persons problem.
The committee-in which 36 gov
ernments are represented-is facili-
tating individual migration and
group settlement" however, Sir Her
bert said In his report to the COM
mittee's six plenary session and
added that "a steady flow OF refu-
gees able to obtain visas is now
crossing the Atlantic, mainly to
South American countries"
Agreements Being Negotiated.
Sir Herbert stated that an agree
ment is being negotiated with
Brazil and missions representing
the committee are now visiting
Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay,
Peru and Ecuador, while further
mission will shortly 60 to Colombia
Ecuador and Venezuela.
Argentina last week sent a special
mission to organize the emigration
of 10000 Europeans month, main
ly from Spain and Italy. At the
same, time, it was reported today in
Londan that Polish soldiers OF Gen.
Anders' army, who long ago had
applied for visas from Argentina,

North Africa and to anti-Nazi Ger
mans residing in several countries,
has been extended to many other
groups

vided that repatriation continues
at reasonable rate and that there
are no large accretions of new
groups of refugees or displaced per-
sons" the back of the problem
should be broken within five years.

5oufh's 'Readmission
To Union Is Necessary,
Gov. ATnaII Declares
BY the Assceioted Press

ATLANTA, Dec. 16.-Gov. Ellis
Arnall OF Georgia, as participant
on a Nation wide radio forum, today
described the political movement in
the South as toward "a reactionary
trend" but predicted an early return
to power of liberal and progressive
forces"
Gov. Arnall. one of three-mem-
ber panel taking part on the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co.'S weekly
forum, America United, said that
while the situation commanded at
tention there were "other problems
far more important to the South
than that"
Participants with Gov. Arnall on
the forum, with Kennedy Ludlow
of MICS Washington staff as mod
orator, were A. G. Mezerik, New York
author of THE Revolt of the South
and West" and Allan L. Swim, pub
lie relations director for the CIO
Southern organizing campaign
SOuth's UnfavOred Role.
| whats in Store for the South"
was taken as the subject for dis
cussion.
Gov. Arnall said much Of the Sec
tion's present condition stemmed
from its acceptance of the role of
"the unfavored." For one thing,
he added, the South must be "re-
admitted to the Union" and accord
ed equal treatment.
Besides ''the unequal freight
rates." there is "the unequal dis
tribution of Federal money, espe-
cially for education. Federal money
must be allotted on the basis of
need, rather than ability to pay.
That last remark, he explained, re-
ferred to the practice of having to
match Federal funds. 1--WE can't
match funds-dollar for dollar-we
are too poor"
Says Uni0nization Would Help.
Mr.. Swim, as a representative of
the CIO, host for the broadcast,
said that unionization of the South
would do much ito do away with
some of the South's ills, particularly
differences In wage rates"
Then, in response to a question
from Gov. Arnall about a compari-
son of wages in the various sec
tions, Mr.. Swim said that national
wages for some industries were the
same while others were "far from
uniform.
Mr.. Mezerik, agreeing with Mr.
Swim, said much of the trouble lays
"in the South's inability to pay"
He cited examples of articles man
ufactured in the North and sent
into the South for purchase, point
ing out that the South got neither
the money for raw materials nor
the wages for their production.
THUS" he added, ''the South has
less to spend and more to pay"
