Aftermath of the tennis tour
nament which ended in a sour note
this weekend was the announce
ment-still unconfirmed by Amer
Jean Tennis association officials
that the national championship
will be held again next year on
the courts at the State College of
Education and Industrial Arts lat
Wilberforce. The site has been de-
clared ideal by Alta officials,
players and by those who attend
ed as spectators. There were a few
complaints which will be noted
later, but they can and should GER
tainly be considered by persons
concerned.
The sour note on which the
tournament ended was the heavy
downpour which prevented a few
of the finals including the mems
singles from being completed. DIR.
Reginald Weir of New Yorw City
and Howard Mitchell of Califor-
MIA, were tied at two sets each
with Mitchell leading in the de-
Gliding set, 1-love. DR.. Weir won
the first two sets, 81 and Cd,
and it looked as though he would
win handily. But a brilliant come
back by Mitchell gave the lanky
youth the next two sets, rs and
Ga, and the first game in the
final set.

Television Sets
Will Have Color

Owners of television sets in
Dayton can take heart in the an
nouncement that one of the big
gest problems which has beset the
industry for the past few years
appears to be solved. It is the
transition from the present black
and white transmission to color
tranmission. The problem which
has delayed the change over was
how to do it with the present sta
tons and home receivers. Under
the new system which will be
demonstrated publicly next month
no notifications nor additional
equipment is required to receive
black and white images from sta
tons transmitting in color. And
only an adapter will be necessary
on old sets to receive color images.
New sets will be equipped to re-
ceive both.
Radio Corporation of America,
parent of the National Broadcast
ing company, is the developer of
this system which differs from
that developed by the Columbia
Broadcasting system. CHS would
require the owners of sets to pur-
chase new adapters whether the
picture was to be seen in color
or black and white. Before pro-
duction work can proceed, the two
net works must argue the merits
of their respective systems before
the Federal Communications COM
mission. Hearings start Septem-
Der 26 in Washington.
Not in Dayton and this section,
but in the east, dealers are ex-
periencing anxiety over the in
: novation of color, particularly the
above announcements. They fear
that prospective buyers, believing
| color will be here almost immed-
lately, will hesitate to purchase
sets at this time.

By The Associoied Pres.

SOUTH BEND. ind. April 23.-
An attempt by Sheritf's deputies
to move four freight cars oft of
the struck Bendix Aviation Corp.
plant was abandoned temporarily
tonight because of union resis-
tance.
Two major automobile manu-
facturers. Ford and General Mo-
tors, had obtained an order from
Circuit Judge Dan Pyle for re-
moval Of the cars. They are load
ed with dies used in making auto
mobile parts.
Sheriff Stephen c. Hipsak at
tempted late today to carry out
the order. But massed members
of local 8. CIO United Automobile
Workers, had blocked the Ben
dix railroad spur with debris and
refused to allow a diesel loco
motive to pass.
Millard z. Stone, Bendix indus
trial relations director. said no
further effort to move the cars
would be made until attorneys for
Ford and General Motors carried
out their expressed intention of
getting an Injunction. This ap-
peared unlikely before Monday,
with Judge Pyle's court closed for
the week end.
Unionists Mass at Plant.
The sheriff said that II an in
junction were issued he would ar
rest any one who interfered with
removal Of the cars.
The union members had massed
at the plant in response to an ap-
peal broadcast by Local 9 officials
over a South Bend radio station
this morning after Judge Pyle is
sued the order for removal Of the
cars.
Police and sheriff's deputies
patrolled the streets around the
plant after the radio summons was
broadcast. but reported no wio-
lence.
Sheriff Hipsak said he examined
the contents of the four freight
cars after getting the order for
their removal, and found their
contents were dies as specified by
Ford and General Motors in their
petition.
|. The sheriff said that after ex-
amining the care he notified union
leaders of his intentions to re-
move them. The union officials
refused to permit their removal
but the sheriff ordered the loco
motive sent to the plant gates
anyway. he added
Wouldn't Force Entrance.
Sheriff Hipsak said he would
do nothing ito cause violence"
and did not attempt to force an
entrance to the plant when strik-
ers stood firm against allowing the
locomotive to enter and pick up
the cars.
