 Some of the Presidents close advisers now want him to ciarify this point and get lot tougher with the steel industry They point out that if merchant violates oPA ceiling prices, he is fined even goes to ja oPA ceiling prices are fixed under the same Economic Stabllixation Act which also gives the President the power to fix wages
 Yet the biggest industry in the nation gets away with violation, while the little merchant doesn't
 One trouble, oR course, is the fact that Truman let himself be rushed into abolition of the War Labor Board, the agency which fixed wages during the war.
 Insiders admit privately that this was the big gest domestic error of the Truman Administration. It was put over partly by Reconverter John Snyder whom Truman insists on keeping despite his repeated fumbles; also by Secretary Lew Schwellenbach who wanted all labor problems placed under his Labor Department.
 After abolishing the War Labor Board, Truman realized his mistake, and begged It's members to stay on Having been kicked in the pants however they refused. His fact-finding commissions now operate as sem-substitutes But the Economic Stabilizataon Act is still on the books and under 1t Truman could either create new War Labor Board or give his fact-finding commissions power to enforce their de- cisions.
 All of which has convinced insiders that the costly steel strike could have been averted Truman had been a little tougher and had statesman inc stead of fumbler running his domestic reconversion
 NOTHING most important personnel changes, affecting the entire nation occurred when Truman transferred able Judge Fred vinson from War Re- converter to take Morgenthau's place as Secretary of the Treasury; and when he abruptly fired Davis astute Economic Stablizer Having abolished the Of flee of Economic Stabilization, Truman later re- established it, but with Kansas City judge, in- experienced 'snuffy Smith" collett, in charge

 FAINT NECESSARILY so It may be said the married heart Is something that's distinct, apart From complications that arise From extra.marriage enterprise.

Governor of Pennsylvania

My dear Governor:
Our attention has been called to
an advertisement of the Franklin
County Ku K1ux Klan that appear
ed in the August %, 1916 issue of
the newspaper, Public Opinion,
published in Chambersburg, Penn
sylvania, copy of which is enclosed.
The advertisement audaciously
reveals the existence of organized
Klan activity in Franklin County,
Pennsylvania, and publicly solicits
membership.
There is no need to dwell upon
the un-American character of the
hooded order of the Klan. All de-
cent Americans abhor its principles
and its continued existence. Your
outstanding record against bigotry
is assurance that you will forthwith

in your State against this resurg-

Moore, Batt|ingP Parks,
Brings Ring Glass
To Turner'S Arena

Matchmaker Gabe Menendez, the
smiling Southern gentleman who
does the booking for Turner's Are
ma, has answered critics who accuse
him of bringing in soft touches for
local fighters by getting Archie
Moore of ST. Louis as opponent for
George Parks, Distrit Negro light
heavyweight, on Tuesday night,
January %.
Moore will be the highest ranking,
nationally known fight figure to
step into the Turner ring this win
ter. He's rated as the No. con-
tender for Gus Lesnevick's cham
pionship by both the Ring magazine,
which mostly reflects New York
opinions, and by the National Box
ing Association.
Moore has one of the longest and
most impressive records of boxers in
action today. Over a nine-year
span he's knocked out better than
three-fourths of his opponents, and
naturally will be favored to add
Parks to his string next week.
Parks, good journeyman fighter,
made his best fight in defeating Joe
BakSi.

BY BEN McALWEE.

Bent on gaining their third major
tournament victory Of the season as
well as the edge again over their
keen Baltimore rivals who squared
matters by winning the last two big
stake events, Washington's top
fight feminine duckpinners are eX-
pected to turn out en- masse for the
18th annual Women's Dixie carded
at 2::3O this afternoon at the Lucky
Strike and at 7:30 tonight at Lafay-
cite.
It was the brilliant triumphs of
Frances Wilson in the Forest Park
and Chesapeake tournaments at
Baltimore that gave the Capital
two successive decisions. Myrtle
Liphard, then equaled the early sea-
son feat of the Lafayette star by
winning the Women's Old Domln-
ion at Richmond and coping the
Meyer Davis open here.
While Washington's bowling fra
ternity would like nothing better
than to see Miss Wilson hit the
jackpot again, they believe Lorraine
GULL, four times winner of the
Dixie, is far overdue. First winner
in 1882, the famed No. l ranking
woman duckpinner of the country,
scored her last victory in 1910.
But not to be overlooked is Ruby
Parry, the 1914 Dixie champion,
who is the top average bowler in
both the Ladies' District and Wash
ington Ladies loops. Bing Moen,
l943 Dixie winner, and Jessie Sacrey,
captain of Brookland Recreation's
District League team; Madge Lewis
and Mary Brown, her King Pin
teammate, and Lois Gladding loom
as threats, along with such other
contenders as Ruth De Chastair,
Georgia Hays, Alma Mehler, Ruth
McClintic and Caroline Hiser.
Baltimore's big squad, which is
expected to outnumber the Capital
contestants, besides Mrs. Liphard,
will include Ethel Die, defending
champion; Elizabeth Barger, Mari
