148-Mile An Hour
\\ inct Heads For
United States
MIAMI, Fla. — A tropical
hurricane with winds above 140
miles an hour was located Satur
day approximately 225 miles due
north of San Juan, Puerto Rico,
and within 1,000 miles of Miami,
but there was a possibility that a
slight northward curve might
have developed during the night.
The hurricane, which has trav
eled more than 1,000 miles in the
last 60 hours and moved along at
a fast clip of 20 miles an hour, was
given in the last advisory as con
tinuing a west northwest to north
west movement, toward the North i
American continent.
Grady Norton, chief forecaster
of the Miami hurricane office of
the U. S. weather bureau, said
Saturday there was a “possibility!
of a very slight—hardly percep
tible thus far—northward ten
dency, but I wouldn’t want to say
anything definite until we get
more fixes from army and navy
observation planes.”
A northward movement would
keep the hurricane in the Atlantic
ocean.
Extreme caution was advised all
vessels in the storm’s path.
Lewis Refuses To
State He Is Not
A Communist
CHICAGO, (/P>—John L. Lewis
put the AFL in the same status
of non-compliance with the Taft
Hartley act as the CIO Saturday,
and more than 14,000.000 workers
were deprived of use of the Na
tional Labor Relations Board at
least for the time being.
Lewis, alone among the 15-man
AFL executive council members,
held out in opposition to the prin
ciple of signing an affidavit that
he is not a member of the Com
munist party. The united mine
workers, which he heads, has
barred Communists from member
ship since 1927.
Action of the shaggy-haired
miners’ leader, in the teeth of the
desire of his colleagues to sign the
affidavit so the AFL’s 105 unions
could have access to the machinery
of the NLRB, forced the execu
tive council to announce it could
not comply. All officers have to
sign or no AFL unions can use the
board, under a ruling of NLRB
general counsel Robert N. Den
ham.
The AFL has 7,500,000 mem
bers. The CIO recently claimed
6,800,000 workers in its 49 indus
trial unions. CIO vice-presidents,

Truman home from the inter

Her officers indicated that after

Storm advisories were radioed

Some AFL leaders say they now'

too, in San Francisco in October.

SPORTS
ROUNDUP
(By Hugh Fullerton, Jr.)
NEW YORK. f/P) — You’ll be
hearing more than ever about the
“T” formation this football season
and there’s a strong suspicion that
some coaches will be springing
fancy variations now that they all
know the standard procedure. . . .
In fact there’s been a persistent
rumon that George Halas, whose
Chicago Bears are largely respon
sible for its popularity, plans to
pull a few switches, and Mar
quette’s Frank Murray is reliably
reported to have spent the time
while he was in the hospital last
spring, cooking up variations of
the standard “T” plays. . . .
The best suggestion as to how
the coaches will vary the “T”
comes from the Cardinals’ Jimmy
Conzelman . . . Jim warns: “Look
out for the “T” formation to em
ploy the use of the flanker back
out from the huddle this year on
many formations. While the man
in motion still will be the basic
way of putting a backfield man
out on the flank, the wide flanker
will be used much more than it
has in the past.”
ACTIVITIES IN THE
NOME ROADSTEAD
The M.S. Kobuk of the Fergu
son Co., of Kotzebue is in port and
making a trip down the coast.
An Army freighter is anchored
in the roadstead unloading sup
plies for the Nome Base.
The M.S. North Star is in the
roadstead preparing to take on the
natives of King Island and return
them to their winter home as has
become the custom. It has not
been determined who will teach
on the island this year.
