Referee Nick K earns Woiild Change Casaba Rules CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-ff)-Nick Kearns. who has been officiating at basketball games for 29 years, is crusading for a new rule which would give the aggressive dribbler a better chance under the basket and greatly tend to develop the fast break. Another proposal, aiming . for more flexibility in the personal foul route, also was advanced by Coach Harold Olsen at Ohio State. "You've seen players go charg ing into the basket only to be tem porarily checked in the process,' said Kearns. "Their momentum, however, Varries them on and they make a basket. But a foul is called on the guy who takes a grab at them and: the goal is nullified. "I think the player making the basket should have an option of either taking it or having a per sonal called on his opponent. If that opponent is an exceptionally good rebounder or scorer and hap pens to already have three fouls charged "against him, - the ' other fellow probably would give up his field goa! in order to have the op ponent evicted on four personals, i "Anywiy, the option would give the small aggressive player more of a working edge under the bas ket, would develop the fast breaking- offense, and help return the game to its fundamentals of pass, dribble and shoot,' : Olsen would like to see fiveper- Rjonal . fouls allowed instead ' of four, stressing that the elimination of the center Jump has added sev eral . minutes of actual playing time. He believes the foul quota should be. raised to make up for this difference. , : ' !

SEATTLE, Feb. 10 The week ly average of west coast lumber production in January was 157, 843.000 board feet, or 99.9 per cent of 1940-1943 average. Orders av eraged 165,858,000 bf.; shipments, 153,280,000. Weekly averages for December were: production J47, 765,000 bf. (93.5 per cent of the 1940-1943 average) ; orders, 158, 867,000; shipments, 161,118,000.

Orders for four weeks of 1944 breakl down as follows: rail, 531,-09-.000 bf.; domestic cargo, 53, 991,000; export, 14,441,000; local, 63.909,000. ;. - The; industry's unfilled i order file stood at 1,032,970,000 bf. at the end of January; gross stocks at 465,842,000. j : The' labor situation again is tak ing, a serious turn because of the inroads of the draft on the skilled men of - the industry, More men of irreplaceable experience in key jobs of west coast lumbering are being I drafted than ever before. : No relaxation Is evident in 1944 demand for - lumber. At recent meetings of northwest , army and war production board representa tives, (the' very critical war needs for lumber -; were r emphasized afresh! in the most positive : terms. These! needs are expanding on ev ery. battle front. Reconstruction of demolished areas : conquered . by US troops increasingly : will ; de mand ! more lumber. An example is Naples where the rebuilding of the dock area; alone has required 2000 carloads of lumber, while at Tarawa where the top of the atoll was practically blown off, large quantities of lumber had to be provided before' bur troops could establish their' defenses. .....

' " - ' Flagg countered with the asser tion ; that negotiations ; had been almost completed between the parties prior to institution of the order,' : but had ' broken down at the last moment, and that! the or der had been consummated on the supposition that agreement almost had been reached and would be reached when negotiations were resumed.' "V Flagg further contended that the emergency order was' a sim pie way out a saving 'of time and trouble in wartime conditions. and that a -hearing would I not have fitted the emergency. Peck compared the rates of the Northwestern Electric company of Portland with the plaintiff com pany's asserting there was a fav orable f comparison, and asking why an emergency order had not been levied against the other com pany.

Noting like it had ever been seen 'before. -- There are more laying hens on poultry farms than, a year ago. That would account for a great part of the 23 per cent increase over last year in volume of eggs coming into the market. But the surprise comes in the fact that in some areas, particu larly the Pacific : northwest,: the increase ' in eggs is greater than the' increase in hens. - ; j That is particularly puzzling to feed experts, who had predicted a drop in egg production because of the scarcity of protein feeds. . Higher efficiency In production with lower protein supplies if long continued would indicate the poul try! Industry had been overdoing the protein feeding, and might set the experts on a pew study of feeding techniques. Coincident with ; the peak production there has . been a marked increase In the use of corn and. a 'relative increase In ; wheat feedJ j Eggs have come in so fast that both the trade and the army have begun I to worry about space in San Francisco. storage Stilwell Forces Clean Up Japs , '.
