Organized baseball in Chicago
last week, launched its first i'm
portant attack on the newly
formed ball players union, the
American Baseball Guild.
Designed to break the rapidly
forming ranks of unionism, the
magnates made a monumental
concession to their slaves and
agreed, for the first tt m e in
baseball history, to permit play
ers to have a say in writing
their contracts.
A Joint committee of diamond
tycoons from both the Ameri-
can and Natl. Leagues made the
decision. 1t had recently been
under intensive secret discussion
by them. They played an ace
card in frantic efforts to stem
the rising tide of unionism and
to ward off probable court ex-
posture of the infamous reserve
clause" in slave contracts with
players.
THE MAGNATES cleverly
decided to offer the bait of
"player representation" in the

Big league players get

boards decision to decide the
merits of the American Baseball
Guilds case against the Pitts
burgh Natl. League Club. They
asked for prompt action in Sc

Seems the major leagues want
a report on the matter within
the next few weeks"
They are also painfully i'm
pressed by some of the guilds
recent demands. It is rumored
that the magnates are now at
the point of conceding players
a slice of their sales price when
sold to another club. And that
they are softening up on mini
mum major league salaries even
to boosting them to between S.
600 and 81, 500. They now range
between $4,000 and $4,000.
The American Baseball Guild
will have to swing into instant
action to counterfeit the mag

this neat shell game their union
ism will be reduced to a label

IF THEY GO for the "spokes-

mere suggestions, not demands,

writing of new uniform con-
tract. However, this committee
of athletes" will probably be
carefully controlled by the mag
mates t h m selves. Happy
Chandler, high commissioner of
baseball, was empowered to di-
rect his Is major league manag-
ers to nominate the players rep
resentatives.
There are plenty of sly iniq-
uities in this procedure. The
players themselves have limited
choice in naming their represen-
tativeS. The manager, who will
do the nominating, of course is a
strong company man. He can be
depended upon to n m the
right man to "argue" for the
diamond hirelings. If the play
ers do not reject the proposition,
they are certain to find conserv-
alive, management-minded men
cumming up their demands.
1t was revealed that the base

most of you remember that spoke of a quartet in my column. "The -Four Southern Wonders" this or ganization came into being last June. Since that time two of our
 original singers got cold-feet.
 Yours truly, who happens to be the manager had two young men rec commended to him by the remain ing two men. I then contacted
 these two men and now both of them are here and ready and will ing to sing. The two additions to this organization are: Messrs. George Jones and R. C. Giles, both from South Carolina. The other two members of the organization are Messrs. $. P. Jones, IT,, and James Moses. We are ready to take part in programs now.

 Should anthallan prove to be the long-sought cure for hay fever it will relieve an increasing army of sufferers of what is said to be mans most common ailment ex- cept tooth decay.
 Like all drugs used in the con- trol of hay fever, anthallan must be taken only under the doctors supervision.

approve of Communist methods. Most Communists are extremely cynical. They have little, if any, faith in people That is why they fail to show any concern about the means they use to accomplish something as long as the result is attained. They don't realize that force and crude methods build up hate and fear that can do great damage in the future. Communists have a different def milton of democracy than we have. It is a definition which can be stretched to include the Russian one-party system of dictatorship. They place so little value on our progress toward freedom of ex- pression and government by the people that they were opposed to fighting Nazi Germany as long as the Soviet Union was neutral. but suddenly became anxious to make war as soon as the Soviet was at tackled.
 Communists place a low value on freedom, as we think of it, and aim for security above all. Their mistake is in thinking that there is a need to choose between free dom and security. We can have both and we must have both.
 We must not accept the cyni- cism of the Communists. We must not be content with denouncing Communism. We must work for something better. Our hope is for mixed system in which natural monopolies like the public utilities will be under public or cooperative ownership and ordinary enterpriz- es will be preserved as competitive private firms or as cooperatives to protect the consumer.
 There is a liberal plan for both freedom and security. The Com munists would rather give all con- trol to the government (which would sacrifice freedom for secu- rity). That is a difference of opin- ion and we should hold to what we believe is best. It doesn't mean that because of this disagreement we must struggle with the Soviet Union for control of the world. As Henry Wallace has said, it is far better for us to improve our own system than to try to change some one else's. More will be said on that subject next week.

Louis Fights Lynch Terror

New York, Oct. 2 - Fresh from his triumphs over Tami Mauriello in the Garden and Jim-crowism in the Isaac Woodland Benefit affair, Worlds Champion Joe Louis again entered the ring against the south ern tyranny this week when he launched three-day drive in New York last week for the benefit of the Southern Conference for Hu- man Welfare.
 The participation of the champ in this effort marks one of the most radical steps for the better ment of his people that any title holder has yet been known to take. Joe said in announcing the open- ing of the drive that he was be- hind it because it stands for a bet ter South. Joe was born in Ala {: bama.

WEEK END BRIEFS
Continued from page D

Continued from page D counts, the editorial pages are cas- fly and freely accessible to our citizens for their views on the news accounts and other controversial or non-controversial subjects.
 Fortunate, indeed, are we in this city because of our newspapers, our two dailies, The Hartford Courant and The Hartford Times, and our four weekly newspapers, The Catholic Transcript, The Hart ford CHRONICLE, The Jewish Ledger and The Sunday Herald. As we are fortunate to have our local newspapers, other Americans throughout our land are equally fortunate to have their newspa- pers, whether in country villages or huge cities, as constant bull warks against the loss of freedom of speech.
 National Newspaper Week will be observed throughout our ceun- try fro October 1 through October 8 this year. Both officially and per sonally I urge the people of the City of Hartford to recognize the week locally by visiting our local newspaper offices and plants dur ing open-house hours, by talking to our newspaper editors and their staffs during those open-house hours, by carefully noticing how the newspapers give unbiased ac- counts of news and, last but not least, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with the editorial pages. I further urge that our children of school age be prompted to study our local newspapers either in school or at home.
 For all of us, for you and for me, a free press is the voice of freedom and the guardian of lib- erty.

After nine months of arduous work in Marina Village to interest parents in a cub program for their children, Mrs. Mary Gibson has been forced to discontinue by the United Church which was the sponsoring institution. Mrs. Gib- son was able to rally, but three parents, Mrs. Bush, Mrs. Mailloux and Mrs. Matthews, although Mrs. Thompson was very deeply inter ested, her circumstances did not permit her participation.

 It is with deepest regret that program is curtailed because of parental indiff ference to their chil- dren as to cub program.

MAN TO MAN

ny LICK 0Cfm8On
 (Hartford, Connecticut SpeciaD Who's a Red?
 Once upon a time there was a boy who cried t'Wo1f!" There are many people who are like that boy, except that they are warming of a bear-that big, bad Russian bear. There is "a radio commentator on the Yankee Net work who hollered sfCommunistw and when people looked where he was pointing they saw a Ro- man Catholic bishop who has a great love in his heart for the common man.
 'SCommunisE" shouted this radib propagandist again and people saw that he was denounc- ing fforward-looking and thoroughly democratic organiza- tion of World War II veterans.
 Someway, if we continue to re- enact the fable of the Boy and the Wolf, a req Communist will become a threat and the same people will shout 'tCommunit!'s' once more, but no one will be- lieve them and the sheep will be devoured.
 Where is a Red?
 Communists are always embar- rassing liberals by joining liberal organizations. Most liberals are willing to let Communists work for social objectives, but are afraid that the Reds will cap ture the organizations and use it merely as af tool O the Commun- ist Party. Anyone who does as much talking about Communism as most of us do should know more about it than most of us do.
 Communists point out the faults of capitalism as it exists today. Theoretical capitalism is a worthy ideal, but it depends upon competition to keep it run ming efficiently. That competi- ton is becoming the exception and monopoly is becoming the rule. Public utilities are by na- ture monopo1istic. The concen- tration of wealth is causing mo- nopoly in manufacturing. Chain stores are monopolizing the retail trade. Even agriculture, the last great refuge of competition, may come under more concentrated control as large-scale mechanical farming drives the independent farmer aut of business.
 Communists believe that this trend toward monopoly is the necessary result of capitalism. They favor complete monopoly of all means of production under the direct control of the govern ment.
 Even if liberals were to agree with the Communists on Govern ment monopoly, they could not

NEW HOPE FOR HAY FEVER
 VICTIMS

About five million Americans have taken new hope over the pros pect of a cure for their common ailment - hay fever. These and other members of the handkerchief brigade whose allergies to pollen, dusts and foods cause them to suf- fer from hay fever, hives, eczema and certain kinds of asthma have found little relief in treatment - up to now. Treatments that were available were uncertain, inconven- tent, expensive.
 But allergy sufferers are apt to have one trait in common - they will try anything to relieve them of the sneezes, the burning throat, the running nose, the weeping eyes or whatever symptoms their own peculiar allergy chooses.
 The promised relief lies in "a new drug called anthallan. Care ful tests indicate that anthallan is effective in most allergy cases regardless of cause. The drug is easy for the doctor to administer and is said to be entirely safe 1T reasonable doses.
 The cause of most hay fever sufferers misery is ragweed = { plan that seems to thrive in man! sections of the country with nt
 encouragem whatever. Its pol len floats in the air almost every where from the middle of Angus

 The annoying symptoms of ha, fever result from the sensitivenes
 of the mucous membranes of tn eyes, nose and upper respirator tract to this pollen. Besides tn well known and uncontrolIabl sneeze, itching, redness and swell

Anna Lucasta Bringing
 Rare Parade Of alent

"Anna Lucasta," the robust dra- matic hit by Philip Jordan which is now in it's third smash year on Broadway, will have its local bap- tis at the Bushnell Memorial stage on this Thursday, Friday and Sat urday. The All-Negro play has re- gently concluded a successful years sojourn in Chicago.
 John Wildberg, astute producer of "Anna Lucasta" as well as the memorable "Porgy and Bess," has assembled superb cast, second to none, having culled the best play CTS from the New York and Chi cago companies to represent the company which will be seen local ly. The cast embraces Roy Allen, Laura Bowman, Alice Childress, Alvin Childress, Ralf Coleman, Warren Coleman, Ossie Davis, Ru- by Dee, Inge Hardison, Robert Saunders, John Tate, Lance Fay Tor, Edith Whiteman and Frank Wilson. Harry Wagstaff Gribble is responsible for the staging.
 Anna Lucasta" satirizes, with lusty comedy overtones, the lar ruping Lucasta family which sprouts to uncanny heights when Rudolph, a southerner, visits their Pennsylvania household. They set out to scheme and caiole Rudolph. whose pockets bulge with eight hundred single green-backs - a veritable Kings ransom to the greedy, hungry-eyed Lucastas. When they hear that Rudolph is looking for a girl to marry, they even transgress to the wayward point of pairing him with their sister Anna, a beautiful wench of

 Rev. L. A. Barco, assistant pas tor of the Little Zion Baptist Church, preached the morning ser- vice last Sunday morning. Rev. Barco found his inspiration in the book of Revelation 2-1O. His text was "Be thou faithful unto death" His subject was "Be Faith ful." In days gone by man seemed to have possessed more faith than he does today. The world itself has changed in such way that the faith of man itself has been shak- en. But if man returns to God his faith shall be restored. Therefore, if you are faithful unto death God will give you a crown of life.
