Higher Labor Costs Seen.
Higher labor costs for builders,
appraisers fears that the rise in
property values may become ex-
cessiye and prospects that Reg
ulation X may have an inflation-
ary effect on the market for older
homes were discussed by a panel
at the monthly meeting of Wash
ington Chapter, Society of Resi-
dental Appraisers, at the Touch
down Club last night.
Higher labor costs will add ma
terially to building costs in the
Washington area in the coming
year. members of the panel agreed.
Estimates of the prospective in
crease ran as high as Is per cent.
Appraisers on the panel said
there was continual pressure for
higher valuations and indicated
they were holding back. with the
idea that some of the recent high
costs included premiums which
should not be recognized for long
term financing.
Older homes financed privately
do not come under Regulation K,
and with more favorable terms
may rise In price. FILA officials
at the meeting indicated they were
alert to this possibility, and one
said there was some discussion in |
the Government that Regulation
x should be extended to these
older homes.
Washington real estate editors
fired questions at a panel which
included Curt G. Mack, assistant
commissioner. underwriting divi-
sion of the FILA; william Throck-
morton and William NOLAN, ap-
praiser-realtors; William Banks,
builder. and George w. De Fran
ceaux, mortgage banker. Society
members took part in the discus
sion.

ing. After brief warm-up run on gaso-
line, he moves the lever again to convert
the engine to full Diesel operation.
Warm-up is fast and thorough because
gasoline combustion takes place in The
Diesel engine itself. Firing on Diesel fuel is
snappy and positive right from the moment
of change-over, because the combustion
chambers are fully warmed and because
the engine speed is ample to insure plenty
of compression. There's no need for sepa-
rate, auxiliary engine or for heavy-duty
batteries.

IA Diesel Crawler tractor starts. so easily
and needs SO little time to warm up that it

Easy starting and quick warm-up are
important in getting field work done on
schedule and at low cost. The International
Diesel all-weather starting system is the
secret of quick warm-up.
Without leaving his seat, the operator
moves one lever to convert the Interna-

THE NOME NUGGET
Falling Rock On Alcan Hits Car

FAIRBANKS R-A California motorist was hospitalized here this week with injuries suffered when the automobile in which she was riding was struck by falling rock on the Alaska Highway.
 Mrs. Emil H. Hopf of Los An geles was treated for a fractured vertebrae. Her husband, a retired Firestone Rubber Co. employee, and 16-year-old son were not in jured. The three were on vaca- tion trip.
 The accident occurred in Yukon Territory about 67 miles from the Alaska border. The rock crashed into the side of the car, which blew tire and careened into a 35 foot ditch.
 A bulldozer from a nearby road camp pulled the car from the ditch. Hopf had to drive 100 miles before world could be sent for rescue plane to fly his wife to Fairbanks.

Winter Wolves I'm
 For Rough Going

Plans for a more intensified and concentrated wolf control program in Alaska were announced today by Maurice Kelly, district agent of predator control for the Fish and Wildlife Service. Kelly will be leaving his headquarters at An chorage next week.
 There will be four main areas of operation. Stanley K. Patrick and Joe Miner, predator control agents, with some assistance from Bob Baker, enforcement agent, will work the Kotzebue region, concentrating on the Noatak and Colville River basins where the wolves have been whittling on the caribou and reindeer herds. Be- fore freeze-up operations will be mainly with wolf-getters. Ar arrangements are made for a perm anent camp and the U. S. Navy will make gas caches along its cat trails for winter hunting from two airplanes after the freeze.

Nationwide Rail
 Strike Threatens; Auto Strike Here
CBy The Associated PreSs)

NBy The ASSOclaLeQ FreSS)
 The threat of nationwide rail- road strike lowered owe rthe labor front today and the three months of peace in the automobile indus try in Detroit ended.
 The White House continued ef- forts to avert the threatened rail strike involving some 100000 trainmen and conductors. Leaders of the two big unions, however, said they are near "the end of our rope"
 In Detroit, 5000 Packard en- ployees were called out on strike by the CIO United Auto Workers the first major strike in the in dustry since the 100-day work stoppage by Chrysler employees. Company management charged the union with "pressure move" to enforce contract demands. All Packard operations were shut down.
 Although rail union officials said no progress was made in peace talks Monday night with John R. Steelman, assistant to President Truman, they agreed reluctantly" to resume talks yes- terday.
 w. P. Kennedy of the Brother hood of Railroad Trainmen said: "Unless we make some progress, it looks like we will be at the end of our rope"
 A railroad spokesman, however, said progress was being made be- tween the union officials and Steelman.
 Kennedy said the wage and hour dispute had gone unsettled for IT months and the men are anxious to strike.
 Chief issue in the dispute is the request by the unions for reduc- tion from the present 48-hour work week to a 4O-hour week for yard service workers - without loss in pay. A Presidential board recommended the shorter work week but not as much pay as the unian asked.

leagues Head accomplished little
else. He won only three games more
than the Dodger bat boy won
in 1916. This record of three vic
tories and two losses, with an
average of more than three runs
given up every game, ranked him
no better than thirty-ninth among
National League hurlers. A year
later he was back in bush-league
baseball with a sore arm.
Heads memorable achievement
in Ebbets Field four seasons ago
is a wry commentary on one of
baseball's most preposterous hap
penings. The no-hit game -- the
wistful dream Of every school
boy pitcher - takes more than
witchery in hurler's arm.
Almost always it take a bundle of
horseshoes as we'll. In Heads case,
his teammates helped a mediocre
pitcher accomplish an historic feat
denied many of the sports biggest
stars.
In the last 30 seasons, pitchers
have warmed up 75.0O0 times to
start big-league games. Only 81
times did a pitcher last the full
game without allowing a single
hit. And only once in that period
have luck and better-than-good

fielding combined to produce the
perfect" game. In 1922 Charley
Robertson, of the Chicago White
Sox, set the Detroit Tigers down
in order for the full nine innings,
beat them 40. Not a man reached
first base against the Highlander.
Robertson never came close to
duplicating his feat and a few years
later slipped back to the minors.
And never since has any big-league
pitcher retired 81 batters in a row.
A Long. Long Shot
l HE plain no-hit game is a bet
ter than 2 .200-to-l shot. Why? For
the simple reason that a no-hitter
is a combination of good pitching,
advantageous game conditions and
luck. The margin between bril-
liant one, two or three-hit game
and a historic no-hitter is often
some unpredictable that doesn't
show in the box score. 1t could be
an outfielder's head -over heels
catch. shortstop's acrobatic
stretch, a first baseman's success
digging a ball out of the dirt or the
charity in an official scorers heart.
The whimsical quality of luck
was demonstrated one Sunday
afternoon in 1894, when it touched
Evening star., 1950-10-01

A miraculous stop by St. Louis
Shortstop Leo Durocher and a
brilliant scoop into the dirt by
First Baseman Rip Collins robbed
AL Lopez of an obvious hit that
would have ruined Daffy's spec
tacle. In all his years of following
the sport, Bill Mccullough, the
National Leagues official scorer
that Sunday, says he never saw
a prettier play.
The fact that it takes more than
ability on the part of the pitcher is
underlined by the number of un-
sung performers who have turned
the trick. A few stars like Bobby
Feller, Walter johnson, Dazzy
Vance and Carl Hubbell managed
no-hitters, but Rube Waddell,
Burleigh Grimes, Three-Fingered
Brown, Babe Ruth, Herb Pennock,
Jack Chesbro. Lefty Grove, Red
Rufing. Bucky Walters, Mort
Cooper and Van Lingle Mungo
failed by as little as a routine
ground ball bouncing off a pebble.
No Hits No Votes
ON THE other hand a number of
earnest. uninspired second-raters
somehow accomplished historic
no-hit games. Head, Bill cCahan,
Don Black, Dick Fowler, Robert
Burke, Jim Tobin, Bill Dietrich,
Verne Kennedy, Wes Ferrell and
Sam Jones did little else that
has been remembered. In a recent
poll for entry into Baseball's
