STATE5' RIGHT FRS WILL BE WELCOMED DEMO PARTY DINNER
No Peace Moves Planned with Soufherners, How
 ever-No Special Message

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-tR- Prod:gal followers of the States Rights movement may find the wei come mat out for them when the Democratic Party stages its annual Jefferson Jackson Day dinners early next year.
 Democratic officials are said to be planning to send invitations as a sort of indirect peace gesture to many who strayed somewhat afield in the election campaign.
 Tn fact. one Democratic official, who didn't want to be named told "a reporter;
 You may be surprised at how many of the so-called DixiecratS at tend these dinners as good Demo- Icrats."
 NO PEACE MOVES
 It was emphasized, however, that there will te no peace moves from the party toward those who took leading roles in the civil rights re- volt which cost President Truman 3e southern electoral votes
 For instance, no one expects the national committee to invite either Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina or Gov Fielding l.. Wright of Mississippi to come back into the fold. They were the standardbearers for the States Rights ticket.
 On the other hand, it was indicat- ed that a lot of other officials some of whom took lusty cracks at the Presidents civil rights propos- als-will find that most, if not all, is forgiven
 TRUMAN ISN'T MAD
 President Truman has said he isn't mad at anyone. While that may not be strictly true of some of his followers, the general trend among Democratic leaders has been toward patching up, rather than widening, the party break.
 For this reason, most politicians here think there is a lot of smoke but very little fire in the movement to thump the States Fighters heads by denying them important commit tee assignments in Congress.
 NO SPECIAL MESSAGE
 MT. Truman told his news con- ference yesterday he doesn't expect at this time to send any special mes sage to Capitol Hill on the civil rights question.
 He said he doesn't think a separ- ate message will be needed-that the objectives can be reached with out it. These include laws to ban state poll taxes, curb job discrimi- nation, make lynching a federal ot- fense and halt Jim Crowism.
 But if he doesn't get action, MT. Truman said he will ask for it later.
 The Presidents decision against a special message now on these topics was interpreted in some quar- ters as an Indication he doesn't want to cuff the southerners unduly while his lieutenants are trying to enlist backing for other parts of his program.

WASHINGTON Ever since election Day, Secretary of Defense Forrestal has been frantically painting himself true and loyal Democrat. But here is an off-the- record talk indicating the kind Of men Forrestal puts in high posi- ton.
 The other day, Donald Carpenter, Forrestars newly handpicked chair man of the Munitions Board, called in William Bourne of the State De- partment and suggested that he take charge of the Munition Boards press relations. After some inconsequential conversation, Car penter looked quizzically at Bourne and asked:
 Now what about your politics?'
 Startled at the blatancy of a question which is prohibited being asked of Civil Service applicants, Bourne replied. What do you mean?"
 T would like to know what your

F0RTY-H0UR WORK
 WEEK WITH NO PAY
 L055 FOR RAILMEN
Emergency Board Makes Accommodation for
 Million Men

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-P-A Presidential emergency board today recommended a 40-hour work week without loss in pay for the nation million incorporating railroad work CTS.
 The workers now are on 48-houl week.
 The three-man board recommend ed that present basic pay rates for the workers be increased by 20 per cent to proviee the same ba earnings in 40 hours of work as now are paid for 48 hours
 The workers had asked cut in the work week to 40 hours, without any reduction in "take-home' pay and-on top of that-a 25 cents an hour wage increase.
 The SOC alled "non-operating railroad workers are those who dc not operate trains.
 The boards recommendations, made today to President Truman are not binding on the carriers or unions.
 The board said that it felt the incorporating rail workers should get the 40-hour week because "all other interstate industries have had the 40-hour week since 1888 when the Fair Lator Standards Act was adopted"
 The board recommended. that the railroads be given until September 1, l949, to prepare for inaugura- ton of the shorter work week.
 Meanwhile, it said, an immediate seven cents hourly wage increase should be granted retroactive to Oc- %-t@. I

fielder MaZgay when a gust OF
wind carried the ball.

had walked Caldwell added a
run in their half of the second,
Ferguson sliding home on wild

runs. Twelve Merchants batted in
this inning.
Pleasant City registered three
runs in the sixth after two were
out. Bailey was safe at first when
Boyd took Tilton's toss but

and w. SeloCk walked filling the
bases. Spurrter, with the count
three and two, smashed a triple
into right center clearing the

Merchants batted around in the
seventh to score five more. That
was all for Selock as Wagner, the
catcher, finished the game allow
ing two runs and three hits in the
/ 2/3 innings he worked.
Both managers substituted
freely in this first game Of the
