@AAo Va OAAAo CQbJCCt.
Those who advocate O reduction in the
leave benefits accorded Government en-
ployes. both in the Congress and outside
have represented it as an economy
measure. The fact of the matter is that
IN the long run it will prove to be the
opposite OF economy
Two main factors have caused the
present demands for economy. (1) The
tnf1ationary trend which has been in
progress for some time. (2) The neces-
sity for preparing to defend ourselves
against the most dangerous enemy our
country has ever had to face.
The vast majority of Government en-
ployes are engaged directly or indirectly
IN the defense program along with a
large segment Of private industry. This
brings Government into direct compete
ton with that segment of private indus
try IN obtaining qualified employees. In
almost every known occupation. Govern
n1ent has been losing employees to pri-
vate industry because of this competi-
tton at an alarming rate. During the
calendar year 1850 approximately 200,-
600 Government employees voluntarily
left their jobs. It has been predicted
by Government officials that this rate
viii appreciably increase this year.

Il Former Champions
Among 1900 Seeking.
Grand American Title
BY the Associated Press

VANDALIA, Ohio. Aug. 24.-The
SD Grand American trapshoot
reached the this is it" stage to-
day with a dozen former cham
pionS in the field.
The clay target sports No.
event. the 100-target Grand Amer
ican Handicap, was the days fea-
ture with about 1000 of the West
ern hemlSphere'S outstanding scat
ter-gun artists competing for the
$1,500 first prize and a place in
trapShooting's hall of fame.
The big Handicap probably is
the most unpredictable sports
event in the world. There never is
a favorite and the winner often is
some unknown who pops up from
nowhere, pockets some $4,000 in
prize money and then fades into
oblivion the following year.
The experts have little chance
in the Handicap, most of them be-
ing placed at the extreme distance
of 25 yards back of where the tar
gets are released. The lesser
known marksmen are as close as
16 yards. No one ever has won the
big feature twice and no woman
ever has triumphed, although sew
eral have come close.
The championship has, in past
years, gone to 14-year-old boy
and a 70-year-old man.
Last years Roaring Grand
attracted 1877 markSmen. Un-
heralded Oscar Scheske, jr., of
Belleville. H., broke 100 straight
from 19 yards to win.
Yesterday, in a special match
between former winners of the
big prize. ScheSke broke At of so,
a score which would get him no
where in the Grand.
Yesterdays Preliminary Handi-
cap. run exactly on the same plan
as today's classic, was won by
Walter F. McVey, a left-hander
and father of eight children from
New Providence, Pa. The 46-
year-old garage owner eliminated
four others in a shootoff after
they had tied at 80 of 100 and
he probably eliminated himself of |

even dreaming of taking in Buffalo
and perhaps another American
city near the border.
But they are adamant in their
determination not to recognize the
so-caIled reserve clause through
which the National League tries tc
bind its players to a single club
One possible solution might be
for the National League to adopt
the Canadian circuit on a sort OF
farm basis and see that it receives
"a steady supply of good young
players and perhaps a sprinkline
OF veterans who still might be
good for a year OF two in the

who began her National competi-

Mrs. Page won her spot with
the most decisive victory in yes

Miss Lesser absorbed an intensive
lesson on iron play and putting

Open Clash Likely Unless u. S.
Settles Grid Feud With Canada
By Gayle ToIbot
Associoied Press Sports Writer
Last OF a Series.l


MONTREAL, Aug. "a. - The
principal thing that Americas S pro-
Ifessional football magnates will
have to learn the hard way, ap-
Iparently, is that the Canadian
League is no curiosity. like a
Ithree-headed calf, but a sound,
going concern which can afford to
lgo high for as many American
stars as it wishes to import.
The competition has become so
fierce between the cities-especial-
lily out in the somewhat wild and
lwoolly Western Diyision--that it is
necessary for the coaches to i'm
port the very finest material they
can from the States.
Movement Began With FilchOck.
Although many lesser known
American collegians played up
here even before World War II,
the big movement did not begin
until frankie Filchock, Lanned
from playing with the New York
Giants because his name figured
in gambling fix case. was offered
haven by the Canadian League in
|1947.
Filchock was such a sensation
making the .all-league backfield
his first SeaSon-that it became
obvious the spectators needed
more and better American players
to whet their appetites. The own
erS began hauling them across
the border.
Each Team Has Americans.
Now each team of Canada's big
eight is heavily salted with ath-
Iletes VINO starred on American COL
Ilege fields and then put in a year
or more in the professional game.
The question which now arises
Is, of course, are you and I going
to have a fight? The Canadian
League has reached a point where
lit couldn't possibly cease bidding
for its main gate attractions, the
Americans If anything, it is 60
ing to get more and more ornery
about it. The National League is
becoming extremely irritated, and
either the governing bodies of the
two leagues will sit down calmly
and arrive at some working basis
Ior there will be open warfare.
Dream of Taking in U. S. Cities.
The Canadians say they don't
want any trouble. They would
like Bert Bell, commissioner of the
American League. to come up and
talk things over. They want every
body to make little money out
