Detroit Again Whips Yankees In Twin Bill Sew York, Aug. 11 (UP) — Heinz Becker lias spent most of his season on ike Chicago Cubs’ bench because or his 57 varieties of fielding but he was back in the lineup at fiiwt base today atoning with a busy bat for whatever may be his defensive deficiences. Moreover, he was making a prophet out of a rival manager. Deacon Bill MoKechnie of the Cincinnati Bed < “The Cubs have everything including the greatest bench in the Majors,” he said. •‘Grimm has men in his dugout who would be regulars on other teams.” Admitting that McKechnie’s feelings may be influenced by the fact that his Reds have lost 17 out of IS games to Chicago this year, it isn't easy to pry praise from a rival manager under any circumstances. Filling in for Phil Cavaretta, who injured a shoulder, Becker has made six hits in 10 times at bat. The German-born fllugger led the way yesterday with a triple, a double and a single in Chicago's 4 to 1 victory over the Phils at Philadelphia. Big Paul Derringer won his 13th game and would have had a ehirtout but for Andy Seminick's homer. The second place Cardinals remained six and a half games in arrears after beating the Dodgers at Brooklyn, 11 to 10, in a 15-in-ning Donnybrook that found the teams battling four hours and 13 inningfl. George Kurowski hit two homers and two singles to drive in four runs in the 19-hit card attack. The Cards used five pitchers. Charley Barrett finally coming in to win. Tin 1 Dodger- paraded six to the mound. The teams used 36 players. Nate Andrews of the Braves had trouble only in stopping .Johnny Barrett in a 6 to 4 win over the Pirates at Boston. Barrett hit two homers, two singles, stole a base, ecored three runs and drove in two. Harry Feldman of the Giants handed Cincinnati its lOih straight loss at New York, a 2 to 0 shutout

Men's Prayer Group Holds Final Session Believing the war is drawing to a close, the Men’s union prayer group held their concluding session at the Church of the Nazarene evening. Unless war is resumed there will be no more sessions until those in the armed services have come home, probably in six months to a year. Then the group will hold one session to give thanks. The organization was completed and the first meeting held February, 1944 and more than 80 services were conducted. It was formed a number of men for the purpose of offering prayers for ■ those in the service and for the nation, and sessions were held weekly, frequently attended by a number of men in uniform. Charles D. Teeple Avas elected, | chairman and served during the entire period, meetings being held I

at the library until last spring when a program of alternating among the 15 churches represented in the group was adopted. The expenses were met by unsolicited contributions and Mr. Teeple said today that any balance on hand will be turned over to the Gideon BiMe association. Order Strike Leaders w Appear Before Board Chicago, Aug. 14—(UP)—Strike leaders were ordered to appear before the Regional War Labor Board today to show cause why a three-day strike at the Inland steel company’s East Chicago plant continues despite orders from the WLB and union officials. The strikers, members of the CIO-United Steel Workers Union, voted yesterday to remain away from their jobs. Approximately i 10,000 walked out Saturday in a I dispute over accumulated grievI ances.

Standard Benefits Opposition Grows I States Rights Cited* By Bill's Opponents Washington, Aug. 14 (UP) The administration ran into 'fltates rights” opposition today in its plans for a uniform national standard of benefits to war workers who become jobless during reconversion. The objections came from Senators who want the individual states and not the federal government to decide the amount and length of unemployment compensation. To back their arguments they cited the increases in benefits voted by state legislatures this year. Senate Democratic Leader Alben W Barkley put unemployment compensation first on the reconversion program which Congress will take up when it comes back to work Sept. 4 or 5. The administration’s ideas are embodied in the Kilgore bill which would authorize a federal supplement to state payments to provide a maximum of $25 a week for 26 weeks. ,Congress rejected the principle of a national standard when it passed the war mobilization and reconversion bill last October. Instead, it wrote into the reconversion law 'a plan of loans to state funds designed to encourage the states to raise their own benefits. Since then most states have liberalized their own laws, according to information received by Sen. Harold H. Burton, R., 0., a strong advocate of states rights in unemployment compensation. The information received by Burton from Stanley Rector, chief counsel of the Wisconsin state unemployment' compensation commission, ehows that since October, 1944: 1. Legislatures of 22 elates increased weekly maximum benefits. 2. Eight states increased both maximum benefits and maximum period of payment. 3. Twenty-nine states increased one or the other. 4. Every major industrial state increased either the amount or duration. 5. The statee having a maximum of S2O weekly or more have 77.8 percent of the total number of workers covered under all state Igws and approximately 83 percent of .war contracts. 6. States having 20 weeks or

more as the maximum duration include 19.6 percent of the total covered workers and approximately 85 percent of outstanding war cont racts. On that basis it was indicated that an overwhelming proportion of war workerfl will be eligible to a maximum of S2O a week for 20 weeks. The Administration proposal therefore would boost the payments not more than $5 a week and not more than six weeks to the benefits in most of the industrial areas of the nation.
