On New Proposal
BY HECTOR MCLEAN

A move has been launched on
Capitol Hill to restore the fran
chise Of the Capital Transit Co..
which is scheduled to die by act
Of Congress next August IA, it
was learned today.
AS the first development, Louis
e. Wolfson was slated to con-
fer tonight with Representative
Broyhill. Republican of Virginia.
The Florida multi-millionaire
and controlling stakeholder of
Capital Transit was to arrive late
today and go Immediately to Mr..
Broyhill's Office. accompanied by
J. A. B. Broadwater, president Of
etc, and E. B. Gerbert. a per-
sonal associate of Mr.. Wolfson
and a etc director.
The conference was set up at
Mr.. Broyhill's request in an eff
fort to persuade Mr.. Wolfson to
agree to accept a renewal of the
franchise. if Congress could be
persuaded to reverse itself on the
cancellation.
The move came as the District
Public Utilities Commission con-
tinue a ''last-ditch effort to per-
suade private capital" to take
over the dying franchise, begin
ming next August Is.
Another Farley Today
Completing interviews with
five applicants for the franchise.
the commission today slated its
third session in three days with
representatives of a group of
Baltimore investors associated
with former United States Sem
ator Willard L. Tydings.
The Broyhill- Wolfson meeting
also was scheduled one day after
disclosure yesterday in The Star
that the hacker of another appli-
cant has a long record of diff
culties with the courts on finan-
cial matters.
Questioned on the Wolfson
visit, Mr.. Broyhill said he had
asked the Floridian to come here
and found him completely will
ing to meet with me-"
Fears for Transportation
Commenting on the current
hunt for a private operator to
take over the Capital Transit
franchise. Cancelled BY Congress
during last summers 52-day
strike, Mr.. Broyhill declared:
They've been horsing around
with this thing-for five months,
and little or no progress has been
made. l feel a deep concern
that next August the District will
be without a mass transportation
system and that, day by day, the
spectre of public ownership be-
comes more certain.
Il, for one. am against public
ownership. The District has too
many other problems to be hope
lessly involved in operation of a
public transportation system"
Asked if he had any expecta-
ton that Mr.. Wolfson might De
persuaded to accept a franchise
renewal for etc, Mr.. Broyhill
said, II have good reason to hope
that. as a result of this confer
ence, the entire situation will De
improved.
Found Cooperative
"In previous conferences with
Mr.. Wolfson, l have found him
to be more cooperative and
concerned with the District than
is generally believed. However.
I do not feel it is proper to
discuss it more fully until after
the conference"
Mr.. Broyhill and Chairman
Mcmillan of the House District
Committee conferred frequently
with Mr.. Wolfson during the
strike in efforts to compromise
the walkout and were regarded

Seek. Action
On Federal
Jobs in 1856
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON
Star stan Correspondent

NEW YORK. Dec. 7.-Labor's
next big bargaining objective will
be the 35-hour work week and
AFL-CIO leaders hope to use
Uncle Sam as a trail-blazer to
the new goal.
That became clear today as
the l5-million- member union
organization drafted resolution
urging the 35-hour week for
Federal employees and its leaders
said a determined effort would
be made to push the plan
through the next session Of Con-
greSs.
The first AFL-CIO convention
adopted one resolution setting
the shorter work week as the
major objective in forthcoming
collective bargaining negotiations
with private arrangements. 1t
already had been designated as
the next contract goal by Walter
P. Reuther's United Auto Work
ers. who recently gained q toe
hold toward winning a real guar
anteed annual wage.
Union leaders feel If they can
persuade Congress to grant the
shorter work week to Government
workers it viii be easier for
them to spread the principle
throughout private industry.
They have a precedent for this
thinking, since the Government
was on a 40-hour week years
before Congress passed the Fair
Labor Standards Act and made
/ it the law Of the land.
Folsom Speaks
Marion Folsom. Secretary Of
Health, Education and Welfare,
was the principal speaker at the
third day Of the new AFL-CIo's

The $500 delegates continued
to approve various resolutions, a
process of establishing basic poll
cies for the infant labor fedora
ton. A program for improving
the lot of Government employees
was part of this process. High

/. Demand for an end of the
practice of labelling as security

loyalty is not even questioned.
2. Higher pay, with the speci-
nc amount of the increase to
be sought not mentioned.
3. Improvement of the civil
service retirement system.
4. A Government-wide promo
ton system to provide a fair
basis for equal consideration of
all when a vacancy occurs.
S. Establishment of an indie
pendent board of appeals where
all employees may seek redress
from such adverse actions as
idown-grading of their positions.
1t is felt an independent board
would be more effective than

The practice of labelling as

MILWAUKEE,, July l2.-Man-
ayers AL Lopez and Leo Durocher
got an early start on their mas
terminding and the baseball ex-
Iperts were speculating busily on
prospective heroes and goats as
All-Star Day dawned fair and
cool.
Clear weather, with a high of
about rs degrees was forecast for
Moior League Standings. Pose All
the 22d classic, which gets under
way at 4 o'clock washington
time). The National League re-
mained a 13to-10 favorite to
post its ninth victory before a
capacity crowd of $4,000 in
County Stadium and millions of
Itelevision spectators.
(Washington's WRC-TV.
channel 4, will carry the tele-
cast and WWDC, 1860 kc., will
be on the radio network.)
Lopez turned to lefthander
Billy Pierce (5-6D of the White
Sox for his starting pitcher and
Durocher selected Robin Roberts
(13-D of the Phillies, but many
thought that Early Wynn of the
Indians would prove to be the
key man in the struggle.
The glowering Cleveland
highlander. who is scheduled
to follow Pierce. has been ap-
praised by his opponents as the
best pitcher in the American
League, although he dropped two
decisions last week to bring his
record down to 11-4.
Starters Rarely Win
No starting pitcher has been
awarded the victory In an ALL
Star game since 1916, when Bob
Feller got the nod over Claude
Passeau as the American League
romped to a 1910 victory. This
pattern may hold true today
when Wynn is called on to
short-circuit the National
Leagues formidable array of
lefthanded power.
The heart of the National
League batting order contains
Duke Snider. Ted Kluszewski
and Eddie Mathews. who thus
far this season have crashed 10
home runs. The drama of the
game could be packed into the
middle three innings when Wynn
goes to work.
Durocher is likely to make
lWynn's work more rugged. Du-
rocher is forced to play his start
ing lineup for three innings, ex-
elusive of his pitcher. There
after he's on his own. He made
lit plain that Stan Musial will be
wedged into his lineup after
three innings elapse, possibly as
a replacement for single -slapping

TAYLOR REJECTS
TERMS, MAY QUIT

LOS ANGELES, July a.
Bones Taylor, Redskins
veteran end, has rejected
the contract offered him by
the club and apparently
plans to retire from pro
football, Coach Joe Kuharich
said today. Kuharich made
the announcement after
talking with President
George Marshall.
Earlier the coach said he
had included Taylor in his
plans for the 1855 season,
but was prepared to go
ahead, without him.
Taylor, who holds the
Redskins all-time scoring
record of 348 points and
pass-receiving record Of 272
catches for So touchdowns.
had indicated he would re-
tire If the Redskins did not
meet his terms.

White Sox Are 1-2-3
In Eorned-Run Marks

NEW YORK. July IL (R.-
Sandy Consuegra, the White
Sox's crafty Highlander from
Cuba. is in a good position to
become the first relief pitcher
t. win the American Leagues
earned-run title.
Figures compiled by the Asso-
ciated Press show Consuegra
leads the American League in
the earned-run competition with
a 1.95 mark. He has given up
only 18 earned runs in SO innings
while winning five games and
losing four.
Louis Arroyo of the Cardinals,
another Latin, is the National
Leagues pace-setter with a 2.43
average. The little lefthander
from Puerto Rico has given up
80 earned runs in Ill innings.
He has won 10 games and lost
three.
The only relief expert to cap
ture q major league earned-run
crown was Hoyt Wilhelm Of the
Giants, who finished with 2.43
in 1852. Wilhelm worked 159
innings, all in relief. Before
1852 10 complete games was
used as a yardstick for measur-
ing earned-run qualifiers. so no
bullpen specialist was eligible.
Consuegra, although he started
five games earlier in the cam
paign, has been used almost ex-
clusively in relief the last two
months. getting the call % times.
Billy Pierce, also of the White
|Sox, is second to Consuegra in
the American League. He has

innings for a 2.11 average

ite outside of that figure is
Charley Bassler, 3-time cham
pion, who SHOT a "a and was mad
enough to fight when he finished.
Bassler was the most out
spoken of those who complained
about no practice rounds. He
learned that a few had played
trial rounds late in the after
moons over the week end and
that made him mad before he
started. He played poorly and
that made him madder.
II didn't deserve much better
than a rs because I didn't hit
the ball good, but I would have
been 70 or 73 at that If I knew
how the course played" he said
in the locker room. Earl Fling
played with me and shot 72. He
had no idea of what club to use
on a half-dozen holes. He would
have been 68 if he had been
permitted to play the course,
which he should have been."
Tough on Clubs
Bassler threw a club on the
18th so high into a thick tree
it was sheer luck that it came
down. He bent his putter on
another hole. 1t was new
Bassler.
1t all depends on whether
you're playing good or bad.

The San Francisco Forty
Miners have given Bruno Ban

Banducci was the last of the

Wynn May Have Key Role
Against Loaded MI Lineup
Speculation Is Dominated
By Home-Run Statistics

Don Mueller. who starts in right
field, or Del Ennis, who opens In
left
Musial will give the National
League an array of four sluggers
from the third to sixth spots in
the batting order who have
belted SO home runs. It win be
a situation where Wynn, in his
first All-Star Game appearance,
could zoom higher in the esti-
nation of the baseball world.
It's also predicament which
leaves him vide open to the
inevitable "overrated" cracks If
he makes mistake or two.
Willie Mays, who has thumped
I27 homers. also is expected to be
an early substitute. although
Durocher professed uncertainty
on that move this morning. Leo
even said that he might not use
Willie at all, depending on how
the game goes, but there were
few believers.
After rejecting and reconsid-
ering, he said that If Mays went
in, he would play center, with
Snider moving to right and
Musial playing leftfield.
Mays entry would pit Wynn
and his scheduled successor,
Whitley Ford. against a row of
five hitters who have an aver
age of Is home runs.
Misleading Figure
There's nothing like that In
the American League. The Ma
tional Leaguers will have four
members of their starting line
up who have slammed more than
Mickey Mantle's 81 homers.
That's misleading, of course, be-
cause Ted Williams has deliv-
cred - home runs In only 90
times at bat and has a history
of rising to the occasion when
projected into the limelight.
Contrastingly, dangerous Yogi

competition. He has batted .158
