Grounds for the i an executive order, instructing the two teams to play a 2-out-of-3 for first place in the standing. It is admitted that they played the first two games and that Osh- awa won both but the fact that a third game was played on Thurs- day night has apparently been con- strued by the Viaduct League offi- cers as indication that the series to decide first place was being stretched to a 3-out-of-5 or even 4-out-of-7 affair. It is claimed that this disrupted the Viaduct League playoffs, Presi- dept Wyckoff announced the sus- pension last night and the Via- duct League Executive is to meet tonight to deal with the matter. A. J. "Bunny" Morganson of To- ronto, an official of the Toronto Amateur Baseball Association, speaking with an executive member of the Oshawa Merchants Club this morning, indicated that the Viaduct League had sought support of the suspension from the TABA which body would in turn request the OBA, provincial governing body, to uphold the suspension.

The flight beat the previous time of four hours and 37 minutes. But it lost the race westward with the sun, which makes the swing in 3% hours at a rate of 600 miles an hour. The jet bomber's non - stop flight of 2072.89 miles ended at Gander, Nfld., at 12:45 noon, EDT, The sleek Canberra jet with its crew of three had taken off at 12:23 p.m., Greenwich time (8:23 a.m. EDT. A sister plane streaked the same course Feb. 21 against terrific head winds in four hours and 37 minutes for .an average speed of around 445 miles an hour. No claim for an official record was made at that time, since the Federation Aeronautique Interna- tionale -- governing body for air speed records -- did not take part in the arrangements. This time members of the Royal Aero Club were present on the Fe- deration's behalf to made official timings. Pilot for today's attempt was R. P. Beamont, 31, an RAF ace of the Second World War.

The President issued an execu- tive order last, night to put the emergency machinery of the Taft- Hartley Labor Act in motion. The strike, which Truman earlier termed a serious threat to the US. defence program because copper is a scarce and critical metal, start- ed Monday. y The President named a three- man board of inquiry. which went to, work at once in an effort to re port back on the facts by next Tuesday, as requested by Truman. The board is not authorized to re- commend a settlement. A court injunction, to force. an end -of the strike, may not be ob- tained before the board reports, under terms of the Taft - Hartley law. Once obtained, it runs for 80 days.' Despite Truman's action, interest was focussed on the negotiations between the Kennecott Copper Com- pany and the AFL and independent unions involved in two major Salt Lake City plants. i It was freely predicted that any settlement was likely to be around 16 - cents - an - hour as a package of wage benefits; including an acrass - the - board boost of ahout eight cents, The Kennecott workers now average $1.54 an hour. They got a 10 - cent increase last vear. A Kennecott settlement likely would be followed rapidly by a break - up of the entire strike and settlements in the other major cop- per operations.
