President of U. C. A. P. A. W. A. (pronounced Ucápawa for short) is Donald Henderson, who according to Messrs. Butler and Mitchell used to be a central committeeman of the Communist Party. If Mr. Henderson is no longer a Communist, as he tells his C. I. 0. superiors, he smells like one to Socialists Butler & Mitchell. Last week they accused him of deliberately wrecking their union to subordinate it to the Communist Party. They declared that he confused simple Southern Negroes and "poor whites" with red tape, refused to support S. T. F. U.'s roadside...
...Donald Henderson's union claims 124,-750 members, reportedly has a dues-paying membership of about 15,000. S. T. F. U. claims 35,000, concedes that no more than 3,000 can pay dues at any one time.

...tennis who got Donald Budge's number was British Fred Perry. That was in 1934-36, when Budge was just out of the juniors and Perry was the world's No. 1 Amateur. Perry took the redhead over in the Pacific Coast final in '34, the Davis Cup challenge round in '35, at Wimbledon and Forest Hills in '36. Budge beat Perry just twice, in unimportant matches. Then Perry turned professional and Budge went on to unparalleled tennis fame. Last year, for a guaranteed $75,000, Budge joined the pros...
Last week, having won 22 of his 39 matches with Ellsworth Vines, freckled Donald Budge faced feline Fred Perry and the old Indian sign in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden in the first of a 36-match series. Almost before the latecomers in the choice $7.70 seats had a chance to count their change, Budge was leading 5-1. Perry changed rackets, but the unsmiling Budge boomed off the seventh game, and the next set was on. For the first four games of this, Perry held the redhead even with a great and foxy effort, but Budge...
