Yesterday Dr. Dick and Bragaw passed a| memorandum refusing to recog- nize either of them as members of the commission until their claims have been upheld by proper legal authorities. Hardcastle is a former member of the commission, whose term ex- pired this year. While members of the Legislature requested that Gov, Ernest Gruening name a man | cy, the Governor submitted only one name for approval of the leg- islators, Michael J. Haas, who had already been appointed Territorial Commissioner of Labor. Haas’ name was submitted the final day of the legislative session and failed to win legislative ao- proval. Gov. Gruening named Cauble to the board following ad- journment of the Legislature and the question of the legality of the appointment without legislative support arose.

BUY DEFENSE STAMPS Tale of Wuafillel.» Johnson Recalled By World Series With the World es the prin- (cipal topic of conversation around Juneau today, baseball fans who have attended series games in the | past were busy telling of plays they | wntched One of the best yarns spun came 1 from Dr. Noble Dick, Chairman of | | the Territorial Unemployment Com- | pensation Commission, here from Fairbanks to attend the annual | meeting of the board. | Dr. Dick was living in Washing- ‘ ton, D. C., that banner year when | the Senators first took the Amer- ican League pennant and played tional capital. P Walter Johnson, massive hurler | for the Senators, was of course, the hero of the hour. Before the first game started, addresses by national officials and dedications of one kind and another honored the Washi ton ball club and Johnson in pa ticular. Johnson was presented with a new automobile and a huge floral horseshoe, large enough for him to stand under, Dr. Dick recalled. Then the great Walter went in to piteh the opening game. “The plaudiis of the crowd were too much for the big bashful fellow though,” Dr. Dick said. “He was | beaten before he walked into the box. He had completely lost his marvelous control and it took him | only a few pitches to find it out. | “Then big Walter threw the ball | and his glove into the dust of the | piteher’s box. He took off his cap. wiped his forehead, bowed his head | and walked toward the bench. He had realized his own inability to pitch that particular afternoon and was retiring himself. And I don't think I have ever heard a finer tribute from any crowd of ball fans than Walter Johnson received from that packed ball park, full of his| admirers, who knew just how he felt.” | | | | | - e — RETURNS HERE Ed Jahnke, a guide, arrived in Juneau on the Northland last night after being out with a hunt-| ing party. | e At what is now G National Monument in New Mexico, the now Piro Indians constructed believed to be the only toric public utility to water to the pueblo and its adja cent field. e The Service and Information Of- fice, Department of Commerce, makes appointments for business- men visiting Washington. - Sponge blight and war have ad- versely affected world {rade in sponges, according to the Depart- ment of Commerce. - e Credit unions loaned members $185,700,000 in the first six months of this year. an Quivira central extmc( 'MORE DISTRICTS I94l GOT IT?
