Justice Vinson Is Among
1900 Fans Watching
67-56 6. w. Victory

George Washington started an up
hill climb toward a berth in the
Southern Conference championship
tournament by turning back Wash
ington and Lee, 67-56, last night in
the Roosevelt High School gym.
Chief Justice Vinson, whose son
is one of the Generals top players,
was among the 1900 spectators. An
estimated 500, including hundreds
of G. w. students and group of
$50 w. g. L. alumni, were turned
away before the game started be-
cause of the packed house.
1t took Washington and Lee six
minutes to score a field goal, but
once the Generals started they made
it a close game until G. w. staged
a spurt, led by Len Small, to pull
away, 1921 at halftime.
Vinson Starts Scoring.
Fred Vinson, jr., scored two
spectacular goals at the outset Of the
second half to bring the Generals
within four points, but G. w. snap
ped out of it and led by from 7 to
16 points for the remainder of the
game. The Generals remained
teasingly close but could not over
come the margin.
The victory was G. WIS first in
conference play against two defeats,
although it was the Colonials' 18th
victory in Is starts for the season.
The defeat sent the Generals home
with one conference triumph against
three defeats, two at the hands of
Maryland. ...
Reggie Crockett, gangling center
of the Generals who is gifted with
an unstoppable hook shot, spent a
second profitable night by pouring
in % points after posting 20 against
Maryland on Friday.
COl0niaIs Move Aggressive.
The Colonials were more aggres-
sive and, led by Jim Rausch, stole
the ball from the visitors time and
again, although the Generals were
about even off the backboards.
G. WIS Bill Cantwell made some
beautiful cuts and totaled Is points
for the night from all over the court.

Home Run King ToIks
With Homey, Expects
To Sign This Week
By Joe Reichier

Associated Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK, Feb. L. Hank
Greenberg,s salary for 1947 may be
as high as $4,000, or as much as
Bobby Feller, Clevelands ace hurl-
er, stands to get, it was learned to-
day after q two-hour conference
between the newly acquired Pitts
burgh slugger and Roy Hamey,
general manager of the Pirates.
Declaring that no contract was
discussed in his talk with Hamey,
Greenberg said he was awaiting the
arrival of President Frank McKin-
ney from Miami Beach, Fla, be-
fore opening negotiations with the
Pirates in Pittsburgh early next
week.
Received $4,000 from Tigers.
Although Hamey insisted no con-
tract had been offered the major
leagues home run king, he said In
an interview after the confab that
the Pirates were willing to 60 as
high as 100000 as a basic salary
and probably would tack soms
bonus clauses on to the document.
These would be based on attendance
figures which would give Hank .
chance to earn more money.
Were certainly not going to Of
fer him less than he earned in De-
troit last year." said Hamey. II
am against the bonus clause Of
$4,000 Hank got from the Tigers
last year, but naturally we're going
to try to satisfy him."
Greenberg received $4,000 for
leading the American League last
year with A home runs and 127
runs batted in. He earned $55,000
as base salary and received an
additional $40, 1000 bonus check, con-
forming to stipulation in his con-
tract calling for a payment of that
sum If Hank voluntarily retired.
was released, or was assigned else'
where.
Confident Of Quick Agreement.
Greenberg said he was confident
he would have no trouble coming to
"a quick agreement and conflded he
felt in ''the best shape in years" He
said 1t would be okay with him no
matter what position would be as
signed to him.
"I1l play the outfield, first base or
even become the water boy If Man
ager Billy Herman wants me to-"
said Hank. Anyway I'd be the
highest paid water boy" he quipped.
Still resentful over what he con-
sidered poor treatment by President
Walter o. Briggs of Detroit, Green
berg said he, desired to clear up the
matter of the missing letter. The
lex Tiger, in q recent radio broad
cast, stated he had written a letter
to Briggs on December 16 asking
consideration for the job Of general
manager. Briggs, however, said he
never received the letter.
"Mr. Briggs said he did not receive
a letter from me dated December
16, but he didn't mention that had
sent him one dated December 5,
which he should have received De-
cember 8 or7.
Sent Letter to Home.
obviously erred in the date, but
this much is positive. I sent a let
ter to Briggs on the day the Detroit
club announced that George Traut-
man had resigned as general man
ager, and asked to be considered for
the job.
ASK Briggs if he received letter
December 6, or 7, and not to look
for the letter in his Office, but in his
home. That's where I sent It,"

 NEGOTIATION
 TOUGH TASK
Marshall Faces Difficult, Delicate Job Over
 Strdteqie Island
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

WASHINGTON. May 30. IF tR Diplomatic authorities said today Secretary Marshall faces an ex- tremely difficult and delicate task in trying to negotiate new defense agreement for the strategic island of Greenland.
 While Marshall himself carefully avoided stating that the objective of the approaching negotiations with Denmark will be to retain military bases on the island, other officials made it clear privately that the United States would like to have continued in peacetime at least the right to such establishments.
 Twice before, the United States has sought to maintain bases on At lantic islands Iceland and Azores and twice it has failed to gain it's full objective.
 Greenland is regarded as possibly more important than the other two because it is closer to home.
 A combination of nationalism and Communistic agitation is regarded as the main difficulty in the case of the huge island off the shores of North America

TRUMAN VETO OF LABOR A(T IS PREDICTED
Hatch Forecasts Disdp. DrovaI But Ball Confi-
 dent of Override

WASHINGTON, May 30, R-- Senator Hatch CD-N.MD said today he believes President Truman will veto the Labor bill slated to ar rive at the White House next week
 And Senator Ball (R-Minn) said in a separate interview that if MT Truman does veto the measure de- signed to halt many union prac- tices and curb strikes, there is a very good chance" Congress will override the Chief Executive.
 A two-thirds majority in both House and Senate is required to set aside Presidential dissent.
 Hatch is personal friend of MT Truman, but said he has no infor- nation about what the President plans to do about the bill as it was approved yesterday by House-Sen- ate conferees who reconciled diff ferences between separate mea- sures.
 T just think myself that the bill will be vetoed Hatch said.
 He added that the measure fin ally agreed upon appears to be pretty much the same" as the one the Senate passed, for which he voted.

35CENT5 HOURLY
 WAGE INCREASE
 SOUGHT BY LEWIS

WASHINGTON, May 30, R - John L. Lewis was reported today to be demanding the equivalent of 35 cents an hour wage increase for the 100000 soft coal miners.
 This information was given re- porter by persons close to the ne- gotiations as contract talks be- tween Lewis and mine operators went on despite the holiday.
 The informants on the wage de- mands said that Lewis asks more than 20 cents an hour increase through a shorter work week and also asks other benefits which would boost the Miners basic rates as much as 35 cents hourly.
 The soft coal digger now gets $11312 an hour With some over time" pay, this gives him $ll85 for the normal nine hours underground daily. The miner who works six days receives more than $75 a week.
 The latest Bureau of Labor sta tistics report says soft coal miners are averaging S64.90 weekly for a 43 hour week in the mines.
