TWO MFETOHD MAIL THIBUHS Sunday, Feb. 4. 1945 STEEL MAGNATES TO HEJPJVIORALE Spurs War Workers, Byrnes Told Majors Plan Sea son. Chicago, Feb. S (U.R) Thirty of the nation's leading steel executives, wnose compan ies employ more than 250,000 war workers, proposed to War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes today that "major sport ing events, such as baseball, foot ball and boxing, should be allow ed to continue not only as an aid but as a great stimulus to war production." A special 10-man committee, representing the 30 major steel and fabricating Industries, met today and sent a letter to Byrnes asking for an appointment with him to plead their cause and the cause of wartime sports all for the benefits of increased output of vital war commodities. They believe that if major sports were banned, or sharply curtailed, war workers would seek less desirable recreation, thereby causing a hike In absen teeism and a drop in production.

In the first game, Friday night, Medford Jumped right off to a running start and at the end of the first quarter had run up a 14-4 score. In the second period, Bend outscored the Ti gers, tallying 12 points while holding Medford to nine, leav ing the score 23 to 16 for Med ford at the half. But with that one spurt, Bend had shot its bolt and it was all Medford fsom then on. At the end of the third quarter the score stood 4-20 and Bend was unable to locate the hoop again in the last period. High man for the game was Larry Hayes, forward, with 14 points. Moore, guard, paced the Bend squad with eight tallies. Both coaches substituted freely, and Medford's reserves played a good portion of the last half. In the second game of the series, last night, Bend showed the effects of three week-ends on the road. Their play was slow and there was considerable fumbling. Unable to penetrate the man-to-man defense of the Tigers, Bend scored only one free throw in the first quarters, while Medford was ramming home 14 counters. It was equally bad In the sec ond period which ended 30-3. At the end of the third stanza Medford led 45 to 5. Again the Tiger reserves saw considerable action, playing all of the fourth period and nearly all of the sec ond. In both contests Bend showed an inability to get their shifting zone defense set before the fast breaking Tigers were on top of them, and in the play off the backboard, the Tigers were in almost perpetual control of the ball. Scoring honors were evenly divided among the Tigers in the second game, with Larry Hayes, Jerry Ross, Bob Watson and Earle Stelle each racking up 10 counters.. Hayes was outstand ing on free throws, making four out of five attempts in the eve ning. Both teams, however, missed many opportunities to score on free throws as the Tigers had 12 free tries and Bend 16. In the preliminary games, the Medford high juniors defeated Medford junior high 25 to 19 Friday night, and stopped Gold Hill 41 to 23 last night, leading all the way in both contests.

OF L BALKS AT E T London, Feb. 3 (U.R) The entire future development of the world-wide trade union move ment, is expected to be Influ enced by what action is taken on a proposed dynamic internation al labor federation at the world conference of trade unions, which begins here Tuesday. Two opposing factors among delegates of some 45 allied and neutral nations on the question of an International Federation are represented by a "conserva tive group powered by Ameri can Federation of Labor leaders and an "International"' body made up of Russian trade union ists and delegates from such or ganizations as the old Interna tional Federation of trade unions. A strong delegation of 35 men and women from the Russian Trade Union Movement already has made it plain they have clear-cut ideas on how such an International Federation should be constituted. The AFL delegation, which participated in the International Federation of Trade Unions Council, will be conspicuously absent from the conference Tues day. The body has steadfastly refused to send representatives because 1) Soviet Russia is par ticipating m the conference; 2) the Congress of Industrial Or ganizations, its arch rival, will be present; and 3) certain hostile Roman Catholic trade unions have been invited.
