.Exfra-Point Question
Is Big Problem al
Meeting Of NFL
BY the Assoeioisd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The
much reviled but very durable
extra point will be on the spot again
tonight when the National Football
Leagues rules makers huddle here
as prelude to the circuits annual
business sessions.
Less than week ago elimination
OF the point-after-touchdown was
one, Of the proposals laid before the
rules committee of the American
Football Coaches Association.
The college tutors decided the
long-established feature of the grid
sport shouldn't be tampered with.
Now q stout move, led by Com
missioner Bert Bell. is afoot in the
National League to dispense with
the extra point and substitute q

tie games.
Point Has Its Champions.
But in the pro ranks also the
point has Its champions. Coach
e. L. (Curly) Lambeau Of the Green
Bay Packers has announced he will
oppose any effort to shelve the extra
tally ceremony.
Lambeau says q majority Of the
fans in his neck Of the woods are
in favor of it and he adds: IF the
fans want 1t, I want it."
Commissioner Bell contends q
measure to end tie games should be
put through for the sake Of the man
who pays the freight.
"The professional football player
must never forget that the spectator
is paying his salary" Bell COM
mented. "That's why the rules
should be amended to eliminate all
chances of tie games-let the game
continue until team wins it, not by
an extra point, but by q field goal,
safety or touchdown"
Others to Be Studied.
Other rules changes will be stud
led by the national group. Lambeau
Is urging that the standards be
altered to prevent q defensive team
from advancing a tumble.
His theory is that some teams
don't use their most spectacular
plays for fear Of k-f1ring bobble.
The leagues club owners will be-
gin q four-day business meeting
Thursday. They are scheduled to
map the 1948 schedule, consider a
bid by San Francisco for a berth
and discuss the proposed profess
sional football shrine at Latrobe, Pa.
Indications were the bid by the
San Francisco Clippers for a fran
chise would come to naught. An

said, would make the schedule too
heavy.

Railroads Urge Law
To Bar 'Indefensib|e'
Strikes or Lockouts
By the Associated Press

A Federal law to forbid "inde-
fensible" railroad strikes or lockouts
was proposed yesterday by railroad
management spokesman.
j. Carter Fort, vice president and
general counsel of the Association of
American Railroads, made the sug-
gestion to Senate-H House commit
tee studying possible labor-law
changes.
Senator Ball, Republican, of Min
nesota, committee chairman, said he
believes Mr.. Forts ideas have got
to be exploded"
The committee, ending three
weeks of public hearings, already
has decided, however, not to recon-
mend any changes in the Taft
Hartley or other labor laws at this
session of Congress.
War Powers Used.
| Mr.. Fort told the committee last
months threatened rail strike was
averted only because World War II
had never been declared officially
ended and the Government there
| fore was able to use wartime powers
He said the Railway Labor Act
should be amended to prevent such
strikes when a technical state ot
war does not exist.
One approach Mr. Fort said, would
be to make decisions of presidential
emergency boards binding on both
unions and management. These
boards now can recommend terms
for settlement of dispute but nei-
ther side is required to accept them.
Another way, Mr.. Fort said, would
be to ban strikes or lockouts lin
time of national emergency declared
by Congress or proclaimed by the
President"
Proposals Are Definite.
He said he referred to work stop
pages for the purpose of:
l. Enforcing demands which have
been submitted to presidential
emergency board and which have
not been approved or recommended
by such a board"
2. Resisting demands which have
been approved or recommended by
the board"
Mr.. Fort said workers should be
guaranteed that no wages or work.

them, even temporarily, which had
not been found by a presidential
board to be lust and fair"

Senator Bridges estimated that
the committees action gave ECA
$3.50, 100000 more than the House
voted. -.-.
While the committee was unani-
nous on shifting the program from

was strong disagreement over the
total amount to be given ECA.
Angry Voices Heard.
Reporters outside the committee
room could hear angry voices. Sen.
ator Bridges said later some com.
mittee members wanted more money
for the European aid program
others wanted less But he declined
to discuss what had gone on ir

Funds Are Switched.
The Senate committee lifted this
$50, 100000 out of the ECA funds
and placed it in the program for

it's consent than he has in country
where his government may fall over
night if the legislature does not ap-
prove the arrangement he has made.
This, together with the tremendous
importance of the German problem
there, is the reason why the French
government feels it must seek legis-
lative approval of the six-power
agreement.
Recent Precedents Cited.
There is plenty of precedent in
recent history, for handling the Lon
don decision as an executive agree
ment. That was the procedure fol-
lowed, for example, in the cases of
the Atlantic Charter, the lend
lease agreements, the Yalta and
Potsdam accords, decisions of the
various Allied Control Councils, the
agreement setting up zones of oc-
cupation in Germany, the subse-
quent fusion of the British and
American zones, and so on.
There is little doubt the admin
istration's decision in this case will
stand, for the challenge from Capt.
tol Hill does not seem very strong.
The feeling among the objectors ap-
pears to be more that a matter of
principle is involved than that the
London agreement was a bad one.
When .Undersecretary OF State
Lovett, two weeks ago, made plain
to the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee that the administration
planned to approve the agreement
as an administration act, no objec-
ton was raised by committee men,
bers.
But it is not hard to see why, in
view of the prospect of Repub-
lican victory in November, the prin-
ciple involved should be matter of
some interest to Senator Taft and
his friends. For an agreement like
this, made by the executive branch
alone, commits whatever admins
tration might be in power here next
year to the policy set forth in the
agreement.
1t is a commitment, not of the
administration, but of the Govern
ment. And, as matter OF prln-
ciple, some Republicans can logl-
cally be expected to squirm a little
at the thought of such commitments
being made in what they like to
think is their behalf.
