TWO WINNERS WITH KEGLERS SCORE EVENLY' The Islanders and the Brunswick were the winning teams in the twin matches rolled at the Brunswick al- | leys last night, and strangely enough, each winning team, scor- ing three of four points, totalled out with the same number of pins, 1489. Ragudos of the Islanders was best kegler of the night with 546. Tonight's matches are North Transfer vs. Baranof and Golden Age vs. George Brothers.

Schubert’s name heads the list of those signing with the City Basket- ball League to play during this 1940-41 season, and with promise that Schubert will be in play, fans are assured of at least one veteran back in the ranks. All ball players. are urged to sign as soon as possible at The Empire, Players hoping to enter play are urged not to' designate other players to sign for them as no player will begin play this year until his name is listed with the league. Signing merely gives the league officials a roster of men and their respective positions. It does not relegate them to any team, but only gives league officials some- thing to work with. Applications for referee are still being called for and should be written to Jack Fowler. e — The paly Alaska mmpire has the largest paid circulation of any Al- aska newspaper - Empire Classifieds Pav' | ese Enter Indo-China Without Resistance THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, OCT. 29, 1940 | | P " Sun-helmeted Japanese soldiers marched into Haiphong, French Indo-China without resistance, under a krench-Japanese agreement.

Other sports have regulatory boards. But boxing has no universally recognized national body. One organization, the National Boxing Association, has jurisdic- tion over 22 states, but harmony doesn't always exist within ranks. In the rest of the country where there is boxing, a group of independent state commissions with the New York Athletic Commis- sion the most important, run the show and often thumb their noses at the other commissions and the NBA. There are few nationally recog- nized rules, champions, or suspen- sions, only a batch of loose “work- ing agreements” which are easily and often broken.

A few days later, though, he encounters a Seattle bulletin which says that Tony Zale has won the middleweight champion- ship by defeating Al Hostak. No wonder he shakes his head dazedly, exclaims “what the hell!” and turns to a sport he can un- derstand.

There are no state commissions —and comparatively little boxing —in New Mexico, Arizona, Florida, Cklahoma, Nevada, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, Oregon, Ohiq, Geor- gia, Iowa, New Hampshire Tennessee.

Industrial, transportation and raw material bottlenecks were |largely foreseen, thanks to our | World War experience The maze of post-war and post- depression laws are largely respon- sible for the contract bottleneck. Some of these are intended to pro- tect public monies, others to pro- tect workers, and still others to step up taxes on exc profits. But rezavdless of the cause, they have bred into our defense program terms highly confusing to the la | man—such as “bid in contracts, “negotiated contracts,” “lette: of infenton,” ~ “contra awarded,” “contracts authorized,” and so on. Here'’s a glossary explaining these terms Letter of Intenticn usually works like th Army wants to order, tanks costing more than $500,000. When an order calls for spending more than a half million, the Na- tional Defense Advisory Commis- sion steps in to keep it out of in- dustrial bottlenecks. The copmission tells the Army where it is possible to buy the tanks, and the Army goes ahead with the intricate business of ar- ranging a contract for the tanks Meanwhile, Congress is working on legislation that may increase taxes on the tank builder, or change the rate of profit for sub-contracto: Therefore, neither the contrac- tors nor the sub-contractors are| willing to set a final price on the Jjob. | 8o the contract is arranged right down to the point where it is ready to sign, but the price is left out. And the Army gives the pros- pective contractor a letter of in- tention to go ahead with the work as spon as Congress passes the laws it is working on, and provid- ed a satisfactory price agreemeni can be reached. Officers usually regard these contracts as almost| certain of execution. They speak! of them as “in the works.” the 290 It @ " need. Gunpowder the War Department and-such contracts have awarded, you can put it down that| everything is sealed, signed, and| all but delivered. Congress has appropriated the money, the Army or Navy has agreed to pay it over,' and the contractor has agreed (0 deliver the order on a specificd date, { | Contract Cleared— This is term used exclusively by the National Defense Advisory Commission. The commission itself has no power to sign contracts or spend money. But it does have the right and duty to advise .the con- tracting government agency n making contracts. When it has given its advice, the commission announces it has cleared the con- tract. Thus billions in contras may be cleared, without awards from the Army or Na The term simply means as far as the commission is concerned, s final everything's OK. Rid-in, Negotiated Contracts— The Army and Navy prefer to execute bid-in contracts. They ad- vertise what they want, interested companies bid, and the lowest re- nsible bidder gets the contract.’ That ascu the government the most for its meney. But often, especially now, the defense s are pressed for time, or few commercial companies are equipped to make what they 1 an item. So interested companies are asked to send negotiators to Washington, and the contract is negotiated quickly over the table, and award- ed. There are very few of these. Cont.act That means ized the Army Authorization— Cengress has author- or Navy to make contracts for futurs delivery of, a battleship, but the money s not yet been appropriated be- cause the contract won't be com- pleted within the current year. The reason is just this: the Army and Navy must plan their estav- lishments in advance. Congress must approve their plans. But building armies and navies is not a matter of months, like building houses. They can only build part of the establishment in any given year. A good example is our two-ocean navy, which can't possibly be built until 1945. Congress has author- ized that navy but it has appro- priated money only for that part of the navy which can be built before July 1, 1941 So, while Congress, the Army and the Navy work to clear up the laws, the intricate legal maze of contracts calls for equally intri- cate handling. Each step in con- tract making breeds a legal phrase. And you have sthe bottleneck no- body saw, - Subscribe w The Dally Alaska Empire—the paper with the larges.
