KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 81.
Footballs flair catch" rule has
been discarded.
The football Rules Committee
failed to mention this change in
the playing code after it's January
meeting at Pinehurst, N. c., but
the surprise has leaked out to a
few coaches. Many others still
are unaware of the change.
Now. the safety man, on a punt
has two options instead of three
as formerly. He may elect Cd to
catch the punt, or (2) let it hit
and roll free.
Previously. if tacklers covering
the kick were bearing down un-
comfortably close he could raise
la hard-the fair catch signal
and protect himself. In this case
the ball was put in play at the
spot where he caught it.
Wallace Wade of luke, d com
mittee member who confirmed the
rule change, said the fair catch
was eliminated because the conf
mittee felt it would have little
effect on the game"
He suggested that It will en-
courage more punt returns, one of
the most colorful maneuvers in
college football.
Bob Neyland Of Tennessee dis
agrees. He thinks the change will
discourage punt returns.

After Braddock's retirement,
Gould handled other boxers but
none was as successful as the one
time heavyweight champion.
Early in World War II, the two
were commissioned and assigned
to the New York Port of Embarka-
ton because of their knowledge of
shipping.
In November. 1914, Gould was
sentenced to three years of hard
labor, fined $4,000 and dismissed
from the service following his con.
viction of conspiracy to accept
bribes for the awarding of Army
contracts. The sentence later was
reduced to one year and the fine
to $1,000.
Gould generally is credited with
having engineered that part of
the contract for the Braddock-

Foreign Aid Conferees
Push Task After Votinq
Billion Trade Fund
BY the Asseeioted Press

Senators and House conferees
hope to finish writing a compro-
mise foreign aid bill by tomorrow,
after voting to set aside $1.2 billion
for the job of breaking down
>Irope's trade barriers.
That action by Senate House
conferees was reported late yes
terday by Chairman Connally of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. Senator Connally is
one of the conferees trying to
adjust differences between sep
arate measures passed by the Sen
ate and House.
Both foreign aid bills would
authorize a number of programs,
the most important being a third
year Marshall Plan costing close
to SO billion. Actual cash for that
and the other projects involved
would have to be provided in a
later measure.
Senator Connally said the COM
mittee agreed yesterday to ear
mark at least 5000 million of the
funds just for breaking down trade
barriers. Economic Cooperation
Administrator Paul G. Hoffman
would have wide authority in de-
Gliding how to use this sum.
Another amendment, Senator
Connally said, would provide UP
to $500 million for setting up
European payments union, which
Mr.. Hoffman has urged as the best
way to encourage a free flow of
money between countries - and
thus to increase trade. The Sena-
tor said Mr.. Hoffman had intended
to use only $400 million for the
payments union.
Senator Connally said the con-
ferees probably will reach final
agreement on the measure tomor-
row. 1t must then be approved
by both the House and Senate be-
fore going to the White House for
President Truman's signature.

Green Announces AFL
Will Seek 10 Raise
Wages This Year
By the Assoeioisd Press

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-THE
AFL through its Executive Coun-
Gil today served notice on the Ma
tion's employers it will strive" for
higher wages in 1880
President William Green told a
press conference yesterday the
council urged unions to strive for
higher wages" as means of in
creasing consumer income.
Higher wages will increase pur-
chasing power and will broaden
the market for all types of goods
and services as we'll as stimulating
increased efficiency in business.
Mr.. Green said.
The labor leader explained that
purchasing power must expand
progressively and maintain a bal
ance with productivity, otherwise
surpluseS will increase unemploy-
ment."
Productivity Increased.
Mr.. Green said industry has
been undermining plans and ma
chinery and thus was able Ito in
crease productivity.
This" he added, reduces cost
and makes possible higher wages.
1t is possible for industry to give
up some of its higher earnings
without increasing costs"
Meanwhile, Richard j. Gray.
president of the AFL Building and
Construction Trades Department,
told the 48th annual convention of
the Pennsylvania Federation of
Labor there is great confusion
and conflict" with the Federal
Government, with various agencies
working at cross purposes to the
detriment of labor"
I'VE have for the past year or
so been having experiences with
certain Government agencies
which lead us to question whether
the present administration knows
or cares what is going on" Mr..
Gray said.
Urged to "VOte for Man"
He urged the 1,7O0 delegates to
the convention to vote next
November "for the man, and not
the party"
1T can matter little to us that
Congress is Democratic, or that
Congress is Republican, if both
are equally unresponsive to de-
mandS and needs of labor" Mr..
Gray said.
Demanding the Taft Hartley
law be repealed. Mr.. Gray charged
the present Congress with failing
to redeem its promises and said
that after the 1948 election "it
did not take us long to find out
how mistaken we had been in
hoping that election meant re-
peal"
Mr.. Gray said he considers as
detrimental to labor the Defense
Department, the Atomic Energy
Commission and the Federal
Housing Administration.
Other Recommendations.
In addition to higher wages
the AFL Executive Council rec
commended a revised unemploy-
ment compensation system, union
organizing drives, local full en-
ployment committees and efforts
to prevent substantial increases
in consumer prices.
1t also asked for revision of va
rious Governmental agencies, a
review of taxation, the antitrust
program, agricultural policies and
resource development.
