COLUMBUS, Dec. 6 (AP) _. Baseball's minor leagues, which up to now have stayed out of Com- mlssioner A. B. (Happy) ch-mq. lers fight with some of the ma. jor leaguers, rolled up their sleeves at their convention today and gumped into it with fists swing-

ng.

Chandler today appeared before the minor leaguers at their con. venirlon and pleaded against pro- posed leglslatlon “offensive and obnoxious to me personally." His words had hardly 10 minute; m cool off before the moguls voted legislation sharply curbing his powers over minor league ball. and from there they went on to an additional rebuff by refusing to amen their player bonus law-s which C andler has ruled "unfair and illegal." ‘

The minors’ actions, coming on to of Chandler's speech and the re uff he received yesterday when the post-war promotion program was taken away from direction by any office now in baseball, provid- ed the explosives for a diamond day which also saw Chicago White Sox sell fast-ball right-bender Johnny Humphries to Philadelphia Phlllies in the first major league player deal of the week.

Along with these develop-

manta was the revival of a rumor Cleveland Indians may be sold, with Bing Crosby crooning his way in aa owner. It was report- ad lhing, long seeking a big- league club. ls interested prim- arily in an American League out- fit. Developments on this au- gle may be heard at the joint major league meetings in Obl- cago next week.

All kinds of trade winds were blowing about the premises. Among them were reports Boston Braves have the inside track for catcher Walker Cooper if St. Louis Cardinals decide to trade hlm; a whispered Jeff I-Ieath-for-Sam Cha man outfllder swap between Clcv land Indians and Philadelphia Athletics, and a “pltch" by the Pittsburgh Pirates for either i.n- fielder Jimmy |Brown or pitcher Harry Brecheen-or another left- hander—froirr' the Cards,

In his speech Chandler pointed out that he has a seven-year con- tract as commissioner "and for seven years I intend to make de- cisions in baseball which you_are not able to make yourselves."

“I've found out you talk behind a fellow's buck," he accused the minor league presidents and club owners, "I did not seek the posi- tion of commissioner of baseball. It was offered to me."

WASHINGTON. Dec. I - (OP) —An agreement under which the United States will lend the Unit- ed Kingdom a total of $4,400,000.- 000 on enerous terms as to inter- est and repayment was aikned at the State Department today and will be submitted to Congress for approval.

At the same time an agreement was completed for final and con- clusive ‘ settlement of lend-lease accounts and for a world confer- ence to set up an international trading organization designed to establish a code of good behaviour

ing results of strenuous and pro- longed negotiations:

1. A loan of S3.'i50.000.000 in new money to help Britain res- tore her war-wrecked econo- my. repflyable at interest of two Der cent over a period of 50 years beginning Dec. 31. 1051. and with a waiver pri- vilege to cancel payment of interest any year Britain can- not pay.

2. A credit of $660,000,000 on exactly the same terms to en- able Britain to pay for usable lend-lease commodities which were in or destined for the United Kingdom at the end of lend-lease operations — effect ing settlement for all time of lend-lease accounts between the two countries.

3. A declaration bv the United States and aipproved in its main points by Britain set- ting forth a basic convention to guide world trade. to be submitted to a world, trade conference to be called by the United Nations Organization.

It was learned on the highest authority that the British finan- cial mission headed by Lord Keynes considered these terms to be gen- erous and liberal and th t the A- merican ald would be ufficient. with Hid expected from other sour- ces. including Canada. to put; B“. tain back in a sound position in the world trade.

Persistence with which the Pro- gressive Conservative opposition has battled the bill giving extra- ordinary Powers to the Government analogous to the War Measures Act. emphasizes once again the surprising change in the working habits of the party since it has come under the leadership of John Bracken.

Whiis Conservative members of- ten worked hard and well during the wartime parliament. they never submitted to the Party discipline which has been effectively int-ro- duced within the last three months.

Mimbcrs of the National Pro- gressive-Conservative Association in the course of visits to Parliament Hill have expressed themselves as surprised and delighted with the change. ~
