 Pitcher Praises ABG
 Pitcher Ray Scarborough, of the Washington Senators, was only one of dozens of big 1eaguers who gave the ABG credit for forcing the club owners hand "This is no time for the players to be bashfu1," said Scar borough. "The Mexican League busi- ness and the ABG opened the way for us. Maybe we ought also to ask for a resolution thanking the Pasquels and Robert Murphy for their help"
 That the ball players have plenty of grievances and have given plen- ty of thought to their demands was evidenced by six concessions Scar borough said the Senators should seek at the conferences: l-Mini- mum salaries, especially for first year players. 2-3O days notice with pay when a player is released, instead of the present lO-days' pay. 3-Part of the purchase price when ballplayer is sold. "A pension system or severance pay based on length of service. B. A flat sum for the six weeks of spring training. GA separate pay ment to the player by the club owner for the privilege of holding the option on his services for the following year.

House Inactivity
 Dooms Proposal

WASHINGTON (LPA) = The 7oth Congress ended with a perfect record-a perfect record of failing to pass intact one single piece of major legislation asked by organized labor.
 The House provided a fitting cli- max as the 65c minimum wage bill, passed by the Senate and voted out favorably by the House Labor Com mittee died an ignominious death in the Rules Committee.
 Nothing that anyone could do not even a discharge petition con- taining the signatures of 142 rep- resentatives-could persuade the wilfulI l2 men on the Rules COm- mittee to let the House discuss and vote on the measure 1t never reached the floor.
 Labor's bitter disappointment was shared by Representatives Hook O., Mich author of the bill, George E.. Outland CD. Cal), Andrew Biemiller O., Wis), Jennings Randolph O., w. Va.), Charles R. Savage O., Wash and many others.
 Randolph told the House: There are more than 100000 individuals who are working in U. s. manufac turing industries who are receiving less than 60c an hour. It is believed that about 330,0O0 receive less than soc an hour.
 Bill SOrely Needed
 Savage dec1ared "We have taken care of almost every special interest in the country. The minimum wage bill is badly needed. A person who gets only 40c an hour, $16 a week, cannot live and keep family in de cency with prices as they are now. We will probably raise our salaries; we have already raised the judges salaries, the ambassadors salaries, and servicemen's pay. The Rules Commit tee should have brought the bill out because that committee brought out the other salary raises. If this bill passes it will create as much as SIP billion additional purchasing power per year in America. The government would not have to do much for the people if Congress would see to 1t that they have wages enough to do things for themselves"

The. Reader Has the Floor

To the Editor, The Union Times:
 Your reporter of the Senate vote on the Equal Rights Amendment has not made it clear that the ma- jority of the Senate voted in favor of this Amendment last week. And if many Senators who sponsor the Amendment had not been absent, it probably would have received a two-thirds majority, necessary for submission to the States.
 One of the special functions of law is protection; the hue and cry that the Amendment will wipe out protective laws is emotion without reason.
 Senators we'll known as friends of organized labor voted for the Amendment, including Senators Pepper, Kilgore, Cuffey, O'Ma- honey, etc. As Senator Cuffey said ''there is no word in legal or con- stitutiOnal matters that takes the place of justice. There is no substi- tute."
 Women have come long way since Aristotle said free citizens do not include women and slaves" !" But we still have inferior legal status. The Amendment would re- move that by establishing the prin- ciple of justice, Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex". We might add that the word ''equality" pertains to values; it does not mean identity.
 Mrs. Florence [. C. Mitchell,
 Chairman
 Connecticut Committee for the
 Equal Rights Amendment.

Wac corporal, was rescued from
Shangri-La. Now she's tackling
the problems all veterans face
nNE year ago 3O-year- old Wac corporal
~ named Margaret Hastings landed at
Hamilton Field, San Francisco, and found
herself the most celebrated young woman of
the war.
On May 18th an Army plane had crashed
with her and % other passengers in the Hid
den Valley of Dutch New Guinea. The only
survivors we're Corporal Hastings, T/Sgt.
Kenneth Decker and Lieut.. John McCollom.
Even when the battle for Oknawa was at
its highest PITCH this was story made to
order for headlines and pictures. Two men
and pretty American girl we're stranded in
place 50 remote that maps marked it I'm
known" They were trekking through jungle
with painful injuries BY parachute they got
food, clothing and voice radio that was
their only contact with the outside world.
They were among natives who had never
before seen white persons. Soon the Hidden
Valley was named Shangri-La. Corporal
Hastings was the white queen. To top it
off, after AZ days, she and her companions
we're rescued in a dramatic glider-tow opera
ton that very nearly crashed them again.
1t seemed then as if everything was hap
pening to her at once.
Nnv,, Gh>Ss Raen.v>rxed
To-Day she is Miss Margaret Hastings of
Owego, N. Y, and it would be hard to find
anyone whose life is less eventful.
Almost any morning she can be seen
in faded CI pants and shirt, sweeping
and dusting inside the green frame house
that she shares with her father.
She is prettier than she was when everyone
was looking at her pictures. The burn scars
are gone from her face and her dark blonde
hair has grown out (McCollom knitted it
short when it tangled with jungle foliage).
She is trim, pert l0O-pounder with self
sufficient air and rather cautious good humor.
Margaret is not writing book about her
experiences. She has no movie ambitions. She
signs no testimonials for canned goods,
cigarettes or camping equipment. The big
gest thing in her life right now is plan - to
go to Syracuse University for degree.
Whole Town Greeted Her
WHEN Margaret returned to the States, she
was caught up in six-months whirl of glory
and exploitation. 1t was almost as strenuous
as her adventure in Shanghai.
Nearly all of Owegos 5000 citizens turned
out for her Homecoming. J. Edmund Morton,
President of the Chamber of Commerce, rem
dered ford official greeting Margaret made
short speech: Thank you. I'm very glad to
be home and I'm thrilled to be met by band.
l never thought it would happen to me-"
She stood in an automobile with her father
and the cavalcade wound slowly through the
elm and maple-lined streets.
The thing remember most clearly" she
says, was seeing two old women sitting on
