PLAY CALVERT
THIS THURSDAY
Dave krupp and Harold Mas
ing Lead Redskins To Easy
Victory Over Willard

Having overwhelmed Wizards
cagers, 62 to 35, in the opening
round of the ISandusky Junior
High School Glass A sectional
tournament Tuesday evening,
Coach Norm Willbond's Redskins
are primed to eliminate Tiffin
Calvert this Thursday night and
to advance to the Saturday night
finals.
Kelly Dunn Motor Sales, local
Chevrolet dealer, will again spon-
sor the broadcast via WLEC,
Sandusky, of the Port Clinton
Tiffin Calvert semi-fnal game at
7:30 this Thursday night. Mr..
Dunn also sponsored the Tuesday
night Redskin-Willard game, and
will sponsor the broadcast Satur-
day night if Port Clinton advances
to the finals.
With Bill Fritz playing a bang
up defensive game against six
foot, seven-inch Jim Nowakowski,
the Willard team appeared help
less against the championship
bound Redskins.
Nowakowski, who tossed in 33
points against Port Clinton in the
season finale last Friday night,
could score only 10 points Tues
day night.
Coach Willbond had drilled his
team in defensive tactics especial
ly applicable fer spelling Nova
kowski's rebound shots-and the
practice paid off admirably. Fritz
time and again ruined Nowakow-
skis set shots but Harold Masing,
Bill Belshaw, Andy Migala and
Dave Krupp aided considerably.
AS anticipated, Sandusky de-
feated Fremont Ross, so to "a,
in the first game Wednesday
night, and Bellevue's Redmen had
little trouble eliminating Norwalk's
Truckers, So to 20. Milt Bruck-
ner paced Bellevue by scoring %
points, while Barth had 13 to lead
Sandusky. The Sandusky-Belle-
vue game is scheduled to start at
S:45 this Thursday evening.
Indications are that Port Clin-
ton and Bellevue will meet in the
finals Saturday night, thus mark
ing the third time this year that
the two teams have tangled.
Bellevue was victorious both
times, once by a two-point mar
gin, and more recently, by one
point. Surely the law of aver
ages will work this time.
Harold "Nook" Masing and Dave
Krupp got the Redskins off to a
good start as Masing scored 10
points and Krnpp scored seven
points during the first quarter.
Buckets by Dave and Nook gave
the Redskins a four to nothing
lead before Thornton could score
a free throw as Wizards initial
poinc.
Port Clinton led IS to 7 at the
quarter; 40 to IL at the half, and
40 to 27 at the three-quarter mark.
Coach Willbond substituted free
ly throughout the game, thus per-
mitting Masing, Migala and Fritz
to rest up fcr Thursday nights
semi-fnals. John Lukac replaced
Masing in the second quarter,
while Gene Ohm and Dick Berg
man were later requirements for
the Redskin center.
The Redskins were definitely
"on" Tuesday night, making rs of
their 81 goal attempts. The regu-
lars were hitting at a 50 per cent
average, as substitutes in the last
quarter missed nine attempts. Dick
Blaskis was the only new player
to break into the scoring column,
his bucket being the final score for
the Redskins.
Dave Krupp scored II points in

uIllNIlS.
According to the Secretary OF
Labor. Mr. Tobin, himself, strikes
and man-days lost have been
greatly reduced since the passage
of the law MIR, robIn testified
that IN the l6 months between the
end OF the war and the passage OF
the Taft-Hartley law, work stop
pages averaged a0l a month with
$500. 900 man-days idle per month.
In the Is months following the pas
sage of the Taft Hartley law, Mr..
Tohin reported that Workshop
pages had averaged only 259 q
month. compared with d0l, and
man-days-idle averaged only 2,0OO.-
900. a month compared with 7,5OO,.
900. In other words, work lost by
labor under the Taft Hartley law
was only one-third of what is was
during the l6 months Immediately
preceding its passage.
And how have the labor unions
Jared under the Act? Union
membership has increased by
more than a million since the
passage OF the law. At the end
of two years experience with this

law, unions are stronger than
they have ever been before. so
far as their power to recruit and
retain their membership is con-
cerned.
In the face of this testimony,
all the propaganda to the effect
that this is ''slave Labor" law
seems bit silly.
IKE all major pieces of legisla-
~ tion, the law has some defects.
The law itself set up a committee
to consider amendments which
might be shown to be necessary by
the actual operation of the law
The minority members of the
Senate Labor Committe after lis
tening to criticism on the part of
labor, arrangement and the public
have proposed revision of the law
with numerous amendments based
on those criticisms where they were
convincing. We propose to retain
most of the essential features of
the Taft Hartley Act, but to cor
rect every subject of reasonable
criticism
The Administrator knows that
ii cannot completely repeal the
Taft Hartley law and has adopted
some features of the law, but If
the Thomas bill, the Administra-
tion's measure, were adopted 1t
would really take us back to the
one-sided Wagner Act Ii would
relieve unions from responsibility
for their contracts and for the In
justices they do third parties by
secondary boycotts and iurisdlc-
tional strikes. 1t would restore and
encourage the closed shop and re-
fuse any man a lob who can't get
into the union, or doesn't want TO.

Relations Board again as a one

My belief is Congress will accept
those provisions of the Taft-Hart-
ley law which have proved their
worth and desirability.

There has been so much propa-
ganda against the Taft-Hartley law
that it seems worthwhile to recall
that this bill was passed twice by
a bipartisan vote in the 80th
Congress. overriding the Presidents
veto. A majority of Democrats as
well as Republicans in Congress
voted for this bill.
The act was passed for only
one purpose. namely, to restore
Justice and equality in labor re-
latiOns and to eliminate special
privileges. II was not passed be-
cause of any hysteria nor because
of any prejudice against unions

Carolyn Long, young American
lyric soprano, brought to close
this seasons Community Concert
Series last night at the High
School auditorium. This is the
second year that Key West has
been on the itinerary Of Commu-
nifty Concert artists, both seasons
sponsored here by the Woman's
Club.
Miss Longs program. and her
beauty. vivacity, and charm
made this final concert trium-
phal occasion and one to be re-
membered until next seasons
memberships are safely tucked
away in ones wallet or desk. I
should certainly venture to guess
that Key West wiz have a big
season next year. The calibre of
the artists brought here has been
consistently high. and this city's
response to their programs was
increasingly enthusiastic.
Carolyn Long enchanted last
nights audience with her
warmth, her infectious gayety,
her magnificent flair for the dra-
matte, and above all, with a voice
that is rich, full. and inpeccably
controlled.
She sang five groups. each
with its own special character,
each demanding an -increas-
ing respone from the large. audi
ence that packed the high school
auditorium for this final concert.
The first group included 18th
and 18th century songs by Pur-
cell, Darland, Arnold, and a par
ticularly appropriate Easter.
hymn by O'conner- Morris. Be
cause it felt like spring, Miss
Long decided TO substitute some
lighter airs for the Verdi Aria
"Ritorna Vincitor'' from Aida.
Rachmaninoff's Floods of
Spring" and two other delicately
light and gay spring airs were
well received as the substitution.
The young ARTISTS third group
included, ''The Statue at Cars
koe-Selo by Cui; The Clock" by
Sachnowsky; the light-hearted,
fast-paced Sleigh" by Kountz:
and Leonora's aria, Pace, milo
Pace Dio (Verdi's opera, la For
