Secretary Praised by Iru- man-New Riff Between
 US. Soviet Revealed
(BY JOHN M. HIGHToWER)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Secre- tary of State Byrnes returned to- day from the Paris peace confer .ence and received President Tru- mans congratulations for doing a most excellent job" at the 21- nation conclave.
 Byrnes reported to MT. Truman immediately after arriving home. The 50-minute conference was the first meeting of the nations top foreign policy makers since Henry Wallace was busted from the Cap- inet for criticizing Byrnes hand ling of relations with Russia.
 Although the State Department chief told reporters he could say nothing about his conversations at the White House, Presidential Press Secretary Charles G. Ross report ed that MT. Truman had congrat- ulated Byrnes on his work.
 Ross said the Secretary gave MT. Truman a complete report" on the peace conference and that the Chief Executive felt Byrnes had done a most excellent job"
 Byrnes hurried from the White House to his office to begin draft ing radio report to the nation tomorrow.
 Not A Failure Earlier at the airport, he had told newsmen the peace conference made progress toward writing the peace for Europe It was not, he said a failure.
 Byrnes flew to Washington in the Presidents personal plane, 'the Sacred Cow" He was in good spir- its and happy" to be back after three-month absence.
 Senator Vandenherg (R-Mich) who accompanied Byrnes, said there were both peace credit and peace debit at Paris but on the whole the balance shows a net ad- vantage for peace"
 Russ Conflict Grows Byrnes' return from the confer i ence where he was in almost con- stant conflict with Russia's Foreign Minister Molotov, coincided with new indications that American re- lations with Russian bloc countries are worsening
 The latest development was the State Departments disclosure last night that the United States appar- enly angered by charges of dollar diplomacy" had choked off deals to give Czechoslovakia financial help
 To Reveal Differences
 Byrnes' speech tomorrow is ex- pected to cover the whole field of issues between Russia and the Unit ed States-differences given new emphasis by the action against Czechoslovakia which said the United States had concelled a $40,0oO,000 surplus property credit to Czechoslovakia and in addition had suspended indefinitely a pend- ing $50000,00O rehabilitation loan to the Czechs by the Export Import Bank
 The primary reason behind this S9O,O00,0O0 slap at one of the coun- tries in the Russian bloc was said to be the Czech backing of Soviet charges at Paris that the United States is resorting to dollar di- plomacy" in eastern Europe in an effort to advance American i'm perialism."

SAVING NAVY DOLLARS

Suggestion to Navy Admiral: It may seem like chicken feed to some people, but if you want to save a few thousand dollars, take a look at the Naval Air School at Olathe, Kans., commanded by one of your own Annapolis grads, Capt. w. M. Drane. Naval Academy 30.
 Captain Drane is now tearing down three enlisted mems barracks which cost $47,7O0 each to construct and which were only completed May T, 1943, in order to use the lumber for quarters for himself, plus quarters for the bases exc cutive officer Meanwhile, houses

AS of tonight, with a few eXcep- tions, jayvee basketball in Crosby, wilby and Leavenworth Hig h Schools will cease to exist; it will be no more. We are not too mar row-minded to see the High Schools side in this setup nor are we too blind to see the repercus- sions which will result in future years with the discontinuance of jayvee basketball.
 The High Schools have started 6 new policy this season of playing double header basketball games at the State Armory in order to give the fans a double smattering of basketball, to be able to meet the high overhead at the Field Street drill shed and to make it possible for all the high schools to be able to use the big floor. These motives are strictly above board and are highly commendable. However, when this plan of attack was drawn up, the three local high schools had apparently overlooked any plans for encouraging and bringing along the varsity basketball players of fu- ture years.
 Everybody knows that up to this time players, unless they are un- usually exceptional, start by play ing freshman basketball in the Freshman League and then step into iayvee basketball and play the ureliminaries to the varsity games. From the jayvee teams the majority of varsity high school basketball players are found.
 Two weeks ago Coach Bill Tracy of Leavenworth advocated in an ex- elusive interview with this writer the formation of a Jayvee Basket ball League. which would play ball in the afternoon similar to the Freshman League. Since that time word has gotten back to this writer that the athletes in all the high schools were enthusiastic about this plan. They thought that such a league would be started immediate ly and SO did we. But as yet noth- | lllR mas Uetl 0OA4C bO PASNAAS AVA W morrow's varsity basketball players. If all the coaches would only realize the evils of discontinuing jayvee basketball. and got together to cor rect this evil, it would be a big step forward in scholastic athletic com petition in Waterbury.
 People have been asking TOT
 years why Waterbury can't seem
 to work up the interest in schot"
 astic sports as is displayed in
 Naugafuck, TorringtOn and An- sonia? When you come right
 down to it the answer Is that .
 general apathy exists among the officials who have it in their
 power to correct this evil by plan
 ming for the future. Only the other day President Truman
 called several sp0rtswriters from
 all over the nation to the White
 House and asked them tO help
 wake the American public up 90
 that they fully realize the value of a well planned Athletic pr0-
 gram as a step to curb juvenile
 delinquency. It's true that Wa
 terbury has a program of ath-
 Ieties for its youngsters but It
 can be improved upon and en-

Tony Z0Ie Voted Neil RingAw0ri

New York, Dec, ie - tUpl = Middleweleht Champion Tony zale, Q soltspoken, cleansllvlng former steelworker whose victory over Rocky orahano was one of the most thrilling in ring history, today was the winner of the Edward ]. Neil award for the man who made the outstanding contribution to box. ing In i946
 The New York Boxing writers Association unanimously named zale of Gary, Ind, at it's meeting yesterday, and ct the same time voted its annual award for long and meritorlous service to boxing to Promoter Mike Jacobs. Jacobs is rec covering from c cerebral heniorr- haze, and his doctor said today the promoter, although better, still is very sick.
 zale is the ninth recipient of the Nell award, but is the first to win the honor on the basis of 6 single bout---that with 0raEiano.
 The bout was fought on Sept. 27 at Yankee Stadium, where the 1otlls-Conn ilasco in June had brought criticism to the fight game. zale came out fighting hard and floored Rocky in the first round as the crowd yelled hysterically.
 But in the second round Rocky came back; it was zale who went down, badly hurt. He struggled up, but Grasiano had the edge in the third, fourth and fifth rounds. In the fifth zale took e severe batter ing. his crown seemed lost. But the champion rallied in the sixth round and knocked Qraxiano out.
 The fight atoned in full for any shortcomings of the Louis-Con match and re-established boxing in the eyes of the fans.
 Previous Neil awards were won by Jack Dempsey Billy Conn, Henry Armstrong, Joe Louis, Barney Ross, all boxers in armed service, Benny Leonard and the late ex-Mayor James J. Walker.
