Left to right, an armored Here is the car, motorcycle, jeep reconnaissance car and a tank pause in passing during maneuvers near Salem Crossroads, S. C. (Continued from Page One) called reporters to his office last night read to them only one paragraph of the majority opinion: "We, therefore, recommend: "That the United Mine Workers of America and the operators volved in this dispute proceed immediately to sign Appalachian agreement, with the reservation that the provision of the Appalachian agreement which requires membership in the United Mine Workers of America as a condition of employment shall be inoperative for the duration of contract." Davis revealed that the two members of the board who voted against the decision were Philip Murray, President of the CIO and Vice President of the UMWA, and Thomas Kennedy, Secretary Treasurer the UMWA. The surprise announcement was that the other two labor members of the board Calvin of the AFL International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and Iron Shipbuilders, and George Lynch, President of the AFL Patternmakers League of North America-voted against the union shop.

Those voting with them against the union shop were the three representatives of the public--Davis, Frank P. Graham and Charles Wyzanski, Jr. -and the four management representatives Cyrus Ching, Roger P. Lapham, Walter Teagle and Eugene Myer. Davis withheld the rest of the majority decision and the board's findings until the minority makes public its opinion which will be today.

The board has no power to enforce its decision, other than that of public opinion. Davis was asked if the board was prepared to go beyond its simple recommendation. He exclaimed: "We are hoping they accept it." Chas.

He is a great runner and he is a constant threat, the type of boy who can lift up all his mates. As for guard Ralph Fife, he backed up the line on defense and ruined our offense almost single-handedly.

"Of course. a couple of passes Jim Blumenstock dropped for us on the five and 25-yard lines didn't help." Only a week: ago Crowley said his curernt Ram team was the most powerful, dangerous and resourceful offensive club he had ever coached. "There was a difference on Saturday," he said. "After Pitt had scored its first touchdown, I talked to the boys during the intermission. But they didn't seem to respond as they had previously.

And then in the last half they kept right on trying but again there was that subtle change. Still, I believe that Pitt was inspired, not that Fordham was down." Fordham has games with St. Mary's and New York U. and is favored to win both handily. The Rams might still draw a Bowl invitation but there's no talk of Bowls today on Rose Hill.

Crowley offers a good tip for this week: Pitt to beat Nebraska.

According to the hospital report, Zukowski had a brain concussion and a compound fracture of the right leg. According to the Motor Police, Zukowski was walking along the north side of the highway and then tried to cross to the south side only to step in front of an automobile operated by Charles Petrovich, of 826 Spruce street, Kulpmont. Petrovich told Motor Police that Zukowski crossed the highway, near Joe Howard's: gas service station, within a few feet of the machine, and after making a desperate effort to avoid hitting him, Petrovich veered the car to the right side of the road, but Zukowski jumped in the same direction and was hit by the left front fender of Petrovich's car.

Born in Poland, Zukowski came to the United States 30 years ago, settling in Worcester, Mass. He came to Mount Carmel in 1921. By occupation, Zukowski was a miner.

Board of Control today sought to have high schools throughout Pennsylvania limit their football schedules to 10 games. The board at a meeting yesterday, decided against a compulsory order but passed a resolution asking for voluntary action by the individual schools to curtail the season. Under the proposal, three weeks practice would precede the opening game deferring the first date until Sept 15 because of the compulsory ruling against practice sessions before Aug. 25. The Board also decided at the meeting that contracts for athletic officials was an individual matter between the affected school and official.

The decision resulted from a controversy in District 2, comprising the Scranton area. A petition by District 12 for raising the player age limit from 19 to 20 years was referred to the December district meetings for action in the form of an amendment. D. H. Lores, Hollidaysburg, and R.

The relay was started at Erie on Oct. 31 and since that time, with the exception of Sundays, has been carried on its journey across Pennsylvania by high school runners.

Sealed inside the aluminum tube was a message to President Roosevelt stating: "To the President of the United States. I pledge allegiance to the United States of America, and promise to keep myself physically fit, because Ir is my first responsibility as a citizen." The run was conceived by C. L. Walsh, Senior Supervisor of Physical Education at Pittsburgh Public Schools and was sponsored by the P. I.

(U.P)President Roosevelt said today that America owed a duty to its dead of the first World War to make in 1941 "The world a place where freedom can live and grow into the ages." The Chief Executive spoke at Armistice Day exercises in the Amphitheater near the Unknown Soldier's Tomb in Arlington National Cemetery. Mr. Roosevelt stressed the fact that the victims of the first World War died not in vain, but to make the world "safe for decency and self respect." "And if, by some fault of ours who lived beyond the war, its safety has again been threatened then the cbligation. duty are ours," the President said. "This duty we owe, not to our.

selves alone, but to the many dead who died to gain our freedom for us--to make the world a place where freedom can live and grow into the ages."

The average car loses oil at greater rate through leakage in warm weather than on cooler days. Therefore, shorter intervals between lubricating jobs are recommended. Because of interior metals, foreign-made cars wear out more quickly than those manufactured in the United States.

At the same time, it was reported from Shanghai that the formula being carried to Washington by the Japanese envoy, Saburo Kurusu, was less drastic than previously had been outlined unofficially in Tokyo. These reports indicated that the Japanese would present a possible basis for an agreement with the United States rather than-as the press had said--demanding that Washington take the initiative. There was little, however, to indicate any improvement in the slim chances for success of Kurusu's mission except for the apparent disinclination of Japan at the moment to risk the danger of war with both America and Britain. On the eastern front, the Moscow radio broadcast official reports of new German attacks on the fronts before Rostov and the Soviet capital but indicated that they were chiefly of a local nature. The most important operations apparently still is centered around the munitions center of Tula, about 100 miles south of Moscow.

The weather on the Moscow front is so severe, including ice and snow, that operations on both sides are sporadic and on a smaller scale, British military experts believed. However, big German forces, taking advantage of a week of dry weather, were reported to have launched a new offensive in the Donets basin. Russian reports claimed that the Red Army was holding firm and Inflicting heavy losses on the enemy. A new German attack also was reported underway on Tula, southern hinge of the Moscow defenses 100 miles south of the Soviet capital. Operations in other sectors of the Moscow front appeared to still be bogged down by bad weather.
