Wilder and woozier than any of
our childhood memories of "Buf-
falo Bill's" Rodeo shows" was
that fourth game between the
Dodgers and Yanks played in the
bailiwick of the "Bums'' we love
to root for. For example let's re-
live that Milksis-to- Campanella-to
Jackie Robinson beau of a play
that will be discussed all Winter
long. Scooter" Rizzuto opened
with a clean single off Don New
combe and when Tommy (Old
Reliable) Heinrich further humili-
ated "Newk" by bashing a sharp
blast thru a hole in the outfield,
the Yanks had men on first and
the hot corner. Yogi Berra hit a
g~rass-cutter to Miksis who literally
surrounded the ball" and then
Tipped it to Campanella. AS thous-
ands looked on in abated wonder
ment, Rizutto was caught in a
rundown between third and the
plate. Stocky 'Campy" chased the
Yankee shortstop back towards
third but missed the tag. Turning
to a "high-brown' spectator we
said: "Rizutto stepped across the
basepath line and he's out" : and
Of course, it was as simple as
that. With lightning thinking and
bullet-like throwing, the matchless
Dodger back-step fired to Jackie
Robinson tagged out Tommy Hen
rich who had come off the midway
hassock when he saw Rizutto
break for home. An easy Double

Negro on Memphis
Court Jury


MEMPHIS, Tenn. CAMP -
Edgar H. Davis ST., a building
contractor, was the first Negro in
many years to sit on a chancery
court jury last week.
His selection was unchallenged
by attorneys for both sides. It
was pointed out by courthouse en-
ployees that many Negroes have
been called for duty in the past.
However, they were released from
duty ither by their own request
or thy have been challenged by
counsel. The Longest memory on
the Chancery court staff goes
back 23 years and it probably has
been longer since a Negro has

Britain's dollar reserves that has
forced her to make drastic reduc-
tions in imports from this country
were before the conferees for dis
cussion, meanwhile.
American officials were reported
reasonably confident that meas
ures under study will provide tenn
porary relief by the end of the
year. Long-range aid seemed
likely to be slow in developing
however, while several proposals
appeared to require congressional
action.
Among the latter is a British
suggestion that a provision of the
1946 British American loan agree
ment be relaxed to permit dis
elimination against some imports
from this country in favor of SIM
liar goods which would not cost
dollars. Mr.. Snyder said, yester-
day he did not think this could be
done without congressional ap-
proval.
A policy of encouraging Export
Import Bank loans to India and
other sterling area countries to
help the British indirectly is being
considered favorably by American
officials, although there is no
of additional direct flnan-
cial aid to Britain.

Among such rumors, he noted, was
one that Mr.. Symington might

Mr.. Martin said his only possible

7 Negroes Sentenced 10 Die
For Florida Assault
ey the Associated Press

TAVARES, Fla. Sept. 8. -
Charging the defense with trying
to inject the racial question into
the trial, Circuit Judge T. G.
Futch yesterday sentenced two
Negroes to die in the electric chair
for attacking a young farm wife
last July.
He condemned Samuel Shep-
herd and Walter Irwin. both a.
to death for the assault that
stirred white night riders to ter
rorist activity against Negro COM
munities in Lake County.

pair and Charles Greenlee. 16, last
Saturday, but it recommended
mercy for Greenlee. Judge Futch
sentenced Greenlee to life i'm
prisonment.
A fourth suspect, Ernest Thomas,
was killed by a posse 10 days after
the attack.
Judge Futch said the Negroes
were given a fair trial. The rec
ord will show the State attorney
was particularly. careful to be
fair and honest with the defend
ants" he said.
Defense attorneys, however,
seemed "far more intent upon in
jecting the racial question into
the record than in maintaining
the presumption of innocence, F"
the judge contended.
Defense Attorney Alex Akerman,
jr., of Orlando said he will appeal
the conviction of Irwin and Shep-
herd to the Florida Supreme
Court.

Wage Chief Proposes
To Raise Level for
Exempt Employees
Rv the Associated Press

The Wage-Hour Administration
proposed today to raise the salary
level at which executive, admins
trative and professional employees
can be exempted from minimum
wage and overtime rules.
Administrator William R. NC
Comb said 80 days will be given
labor and management for COM
ment on the proposed changes.
Then the new regulations are to
60 into effect, possibly with alter
alton based on the criticism.
Under the new regulations the
salary test for exemption execu-
tive-type employees would be raisd
from $50 to $55 week.
The salary test for exempt!.ig
professional or administrative en-
ployes would be boosted from 5000
a month to $75 a week.
Would Clarity Rules.
In addition, the proposals would
clarity existing regulations. Mr..
McComb said this would reduce
"the risk of unwilling violations
through improper classification OF
exempt and non-exempt en-
ployes."
The present wage-hour law re-
ouires payment of Accent
hourly minimum wage and OF
time and a half for hours worked
beyond a 40-hour week in busi-
ness in interstate commerce. Con-
gress is nearing final action on
raising the minimum wage to IS
cents an hour.
Under the law. executive, ad-
ministrative and professional
workers are exempt-according to
definitions for such employees fixed
by the wage-hour administrator.
Today's proposed revisions of
the definitions are the first since
1910. They are the result of ex-
tended hearings in which wit
nesses for management generally
sought to have the exemptions
broadened as much as possible
and labor witnesses to have them
narrowed.
2,500,000 Exempted.
Mr.. McComb said there are now
about 2,500,000 workers in 600,-
900 businesses exempted under the
executive, administrative and pro-
fessional regulations. He said the
proposed revisions would not ma
terially change the number OF
white collar employees affected"
A new provision would exempt
salaried employees receiving at
least $1O0 a week if their primary
duty is recognized to be executive,
professional or administrative in
character.
Oficials said, however, that
this does not mean that any work.
er receiving $100 or more would
be automatically exempt.

To Revolutionary Aim
By the Assoxioted Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 9.-The 1e<S
switch in the Communist organi-
zation, according to one Of its
leaders, was simply to put the
party on full-f1edged political
footing and not to seek revolu-
ton.

chairman of the party, testified at
the Red conspiracy trial yesterday
that the new 1945 Communist con-
stitution gave the party political
meaning and purpose
He disputed the Governments
contention that the party switched
from peaceful to violent aims in
1945 when the wartime Com
munist Political Association was
replaced by the regular Com
munist Party.
The defense read into the
record a statement by William z.
Foster, National Communist chair
man, at the 1945 convention. in
which he said the party should be
reborn because "only political
party can meet the great tasks
confronting us.
Foster, along with the II Red
leaders on trial, was indicted on
charges of conspiring since 1945
to advocate forcible overthrow
of the Government, but his trial
was delayed because Of i'll health.
Winter denied that he or any Of
the other defendants had ever
advocated violent overthrow OF
the Government.
