Highlights OF Games


Friday Night, August %: Batter
les, for Hagerstown, Schultz, Bum
stead in the third, Brumbaugh in the
ninth, and Swanson; for Allentown,
Gosselin and Mccormick. Losing
pitcher, Bumstead.
The story of the game is the story
of two hits by jim Halkard, the AL
lentown first baseman, and two by
George Daddario, the HagerStown
shortstop, with Halkard's doing the
most damage.
Halkard tripled in the second,
scoring Burgess and Smith who had
walked, and then scored himself on
a long fly. He came back in the
seventh, with the bases loaded by
virtue of two walks and hit bats
man, and knocked one over the right
field wall, giving him six runs driven
in and scoring the seventh himself
Daddario got four-bagger over
the rightfeld fence in the fourth
scoring behind Ken Humphrey who
had singled, and came right back in
the sixth and banged another one
over, in almost the same spot, this
time with none on, since he was the
first man up, to give the Owls their
three runs
There were a total of sixteen hits
in the game, but as far as the scoring
was concerned only the blows of
Halkard and Daddario-plus the
wildness of Schultz and Bumstead-
mattered.

IF FASCISm IS TO BE
AVOIDED

Washington, D. C--For the first time in more than five
years, the AFL and the Clio re going to get together to seek
ways and means Of bringing about a united labor movement.
The meeting between the peace committees of the two groups
wa. set by arrangement between AFL President William Green
and CLIO President Philip Murray for May at the Statler hotel
here.
Never before, Mr.. Green emphasized, was the need for organ
ic labor unity SC great, what with the heavy threat of anti labor
legislation which is aimed at the destruction Of the entire trade
union movement and the gains made by workers in the last two
Nh. Murray postponed the date of the meeting from April "a
&c May because he and other members of the Go committee
were engaged in wage negotiations. The AL executive council
accedcd tc the postponement.
Immediately after the adjournment of the executive councils
session, the members of the AFL peace committee met to draft
. merger plan to be presented to the Clio group. The members
of the AFL unit r President Green, Secretary-Treasure
George Meany, and Vice Presidents William Hutchinson, Dan
J. Tobin and John l.. Lewis.
MI. Green said he did not wish to discuss ALL plans for labor
unity in advance of the meeting, because the AL representa-
tives intended to enter the mes otistions with ar open mind and a
Willingness to consider any reasonable proposal. In that same
spirit, he said, the AFL would draft its own recommendations
toN the conference.
In recent years, the Clio has emphasized a desire Tor JOINT

On the other hand, the AFL has made it clear that united action

Next Row May Be
Federal Aid To
Education

Washington. (FP) - The next big
fight in congress may be the proposals
to give federal aid to education.
Two schools of thought on the situa-
ton are represented in two bills in
the senate.
S. 472 by Sen. Robert A. Taft (R,O.D
would give federal funds to those
states least able to finance a minimum
basic education for their children. be
ginning with $3.50 million in 1913, and
reaching $3.50 million in 1850 and
thereafter.
Taft's bill is intended as an equali-
cation measure, helping states and
stimulating expenditures for educa-
ton. Federal funds would be re-
stricted to free public schools. or non
public schools legally receiving state
support.
On the other hand S. 199 by Sen.
George Aiken Or, Vt.) would have al.
most the same goal, but include paro-
,chial and church-operated schools as
beneficiaries of federal tax funds.
Aiken said it would help ~equalize edu-
cational opportunities for children
whose parents feel constrained to send
them to nonpublic %taX-exempt schools
Aiken argued that fears that ted
eral aid to church-controlled schools
would bring about union of church and
state" are groundless.
The recent supreme court decision
approving payment of tax funds for
bus fares for pupils of a New Jersey
Roman Catholic school may have some
bearing on support or opposition &c
