Darby Nine Wins
South Loop Title

Darby won the south league
baseball championship Monday
by virtue of its second, and play
off, victory over Union. Darby
had previously downed Union,
making the playoff necessary to
break the tie that existed in the
south end.
In the first game last Wednes-
day, Darby came up with three
run sixth inning to take a Az
game from the Union team. Don
Rausch went all the way on the
mound for Darby although he
was in trouble several times.
Gene Harbold pitched for Union
and suffered his first loss as a
myriad of errors by his team
mates let four runs across the
plate. The win gave Darby a
two won and one lost record, the
same as Unions
In the playoff Monday, Har-
bold again faced Rausch but
neither pitcher was able to go the
route. Rausch was relieved by
George when the Union batters
began to hit him in the fifth. Har-
bold was also blasted off the
mound in the fifth when Darby
took advantage of Unions sloppy
fielding and drove in four runs
to take an 8-3 lead. Bright came
in to put out the fire but it was
too late.
Union made total of seven
errors. Two of them accounted
for two runs each.

District Pressmen Defy
International Union in
Fight on Berry Estate
By Jones Y. Newton

A group of AFL pressm n
bluntly told the International
Printing Pressmen's Union today
that unless it files big claims
against the estate of the late
George L. Berry, longtime union
president, the group will go into
court independently to protect the
interests of members in the es-
tate.
The ultimatum was served on
the international union by the
National Policy Committee. COM
posed of members of Washington

union, which for several months
has been battling for a share OF
the Berry estate 1t claims belongs
TO the pressmen. The letter told
International President J. H. de la
Rosa that unless the international
acts by October to protect men,
bers' interests" the committee
will take the case to court.
International Threat Defied.
The ultimatum was in defiance
of the international, which has
threatened to take up the char
ters Of the Washington and New
ark locals largely because of the
threat to file suit against the
Berry estate. Pending against
the locals are a number of charges
alleging violations of the union
constitution through threatening
to take action without consent of
the international.
In the letter to Mr.. de la Rosa,
the committee claimed virtually
the entire Berry estate rightfully
i is the property of the union. in

bank. newspaper and the Inter-

night voted to assess each member
$40 for a special defense fund

Mr.. Stanley accused the gov

Cripps went on to say that the
government cannot cut defense

social services and thus must try

New Plan Considered
To Seek Extradition
0fAcree 10 Maryland
BY the Associoted Press

PRINCESS ANNE, Md, Sept. q.
The indictment of David Acree
on a murder charge found him to-
day once again in the middle of
the Maryland-V Virginia boundary
squabble.
States Attorney E. MacMaster
Duer of Somerset County saio he
had under consideration" a plan
to seek extradftion of the 26-year-
old Virginia Fisheries Commission
deputy.
The Somerset County grand
jury, which returned the indict-
ment against Acree yesterday, also
charged George Colonna, jr. as
being an accessory after the fact.
Named as Plane Pilot.
Colonna has been named as the
pilot of a plane which took Acree
away after he shot Earl Lee Mel
son. so, Crisfield crabber, last
July 6.
Mr.. Duer took eight witnesses
before the jury in an effort to
show that Mr.. Nelson was killed
in Maryland.
Shortly after the incident a
special commission was named to
survey the scene, just off Smith
Island in Chesapeake Bay. The
survey group included representa-
tives of both States. and Maryland
officials came away convinced Mr..
Nelson was shot on the Maryland
side of the line. Virginia author
tiles contended otherwise.
Cleared by Virginia Jury.
Acree was cleared by an Acco-
mack (Va) County grand jury
after he said he boarded Mr.. Nell
sons boat in Virginia territory to
carry out his duties. He said an
alteration took place aboard the
vessel and he was not responsible
for Mr.. Nelson's death.
The Virginia deputy explained
he fled from the scene with Colon
ma because a group of Maryland
fishermen began closing in on him
and he wanted to avoid further
trouble.
Before the Virginia jury cleared
him, Maryland authorities had
sought custody of Acree, but Gov.
Tuck denied their request for ex-
tradition.

The Trades Union Congress has

Doubts Food Price Rises.
In his address today Cripps in
sisted that food price increases
"are not likely to come either in
large measure or soon" The price
Of bread, however. already is up
a penny. Cripps said that it may
be that by the end of the year
the cost of living index figure may
be up about a point.
Cripps said he does not intend
to raise government food subsi-
dies, which are intended to keep
prices down for the lower income
groups. He had insisted earlier
this year that the subsidies could
not be permitted to rise any
higher.
On the subject of keeping wages
at their present level, Cripps said
ut is Of critical Importance that
nothing = and I mean literally
nothing-should be done tor in

out of profits. wages or salaries

He left the door ajar, however
for increases in any cases where

family with a minimum stand

Price Controls Remain.
The Chancellor also promised
Britain'S present price controls on
goods sold at home will continue
in force and be vigorously admin
