THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE- ) Seals Not So Hof This Year By RUSS NEWLAND SAN FRANCISCO, March 27— (M—Champions in 1946, the San Francisco Seals may, with luck finish in the first division this season. Even with the genius of Manager Francis “Lefty” O'Doul, they are definitely on the spot Every club in the Triple A Pac- ific Coast league has been streng- thened. But, if their showing to datz is any . indication, not the Seals. The San Francisco team is banking almost entirely on last year's personnel, comprising a war time unit, so to speak. If the Seals win this time, they have more than meets the eye thus far. The club which won the flag last year, and the Shaughn playoffs for the past four sea- sons, appears to be on the de- cline. - It is impossible to keep producing winners with play that are on the downgrade. The pitching may improve, but right now it may be classified ‘as ordinary. And this year's hurling in the Coast loop will be rugged O'Doul will not be able to win with mediocre moundsmen. PLAYING CODE OF BASKETBALL IS DISCUSSED BY AUSTIN BEALMEAR NEW YORK, March 27- Although the method of selection has not been determirced, both col- lege and AAU players will have an equal chance to represent the United States in the 1948 Olympics, it was disclosed today factions joined hands for son. “That's conclu- sion we have reached at this early akout the only date,” said Louis G. Wilke of Bart- leseville, Okla., chairman of the American Olympic Basketball com- mittee, in an interview following the annual two-day meeting of the National Rules committee. The rules group adopted half a dozen changes in the playing code for next ceason, but the only one having any important bearing on the conduct of the game applies to the closing minutes of play The rule, put in a year ago, to stop the clock on all dead balls in the last four minutes of a game and allowing a player to re- cnter the game only once in that time was changed to permit un- limited substituticns and stop th2 clock cn dead balls only the last three minutes. e HOOVER DECLARES COMMUNISTS ARE "HFTH COLUMN" WASHINGTON, March 27:—(®— FBI Dirzctor J. Edgar Hoover to- day cescribed the Communist par- ty of the United States as “a fifth column” whose “goal is the over- throw of our government.” Testifying before the House committee on Unamerican Activit- ies, Hoover ascerted: “There is no doubt as to Where a real Communist's loyalty rests. Their allegiance to Russia, not the United States. He added that the party in this country is “a fifth column if there ever was one,” and declared it is far better organized than were the fifth columns the Nazis had in countries they attacked. The committee is considering proposals to outlaw the Commun- ist party. Hoover counseled against “any course of action which would give the Communists cause to portray and pity themseclves as martyrs.” “The best antidote to Commun- ism,” he said, “is vigorous, in- tzlligent, old fashioned American- ism.” Earlier, Eugene Dennis, secretary of th: Communist party, was dis- missed abrutly as a witness when he refused repeatedly to give his real name.

A plea that all public land in Al- aska be opened to homesteading by 1 war veterans was made to a House | Public ids Subcommittee by W B. Floyd The witness, a resident of Alas- kd, said that many veterans who served in Alaska are returning to the Territory looking for homes. 2.4 could lift all restrictions on homesteading 20,000 veteyans will settie there in the next three years,” he said. Floyd asked the urge the Interior Department to lift restrictions on Kodiak Island, made a refuge for brown bears in 1941. He said Kodiak has excellent grazing land and many veterans could settle on its approximately 2,000,000 acres. Otk similar testi- meny also was presented. “All a veteran needs to settle in Alaska,” Floyd said two-bits and plenty of courage. He can find work in any of the towns.” The Committee is considering bills by Rep. Lemke (R-ND) and Peden (D-Okla) to authorize the sgttlement of veterans in the Ter- ritory. John R. Pratt, a marine machin- ist of Ketchikan and a resident of the Territory ior 25 years, told the Cemmittee there is opportunity for veterans in Alaska but they must be “men and women who work and work hard.” Pratt said that a veteran who in- tended to settle on a farm should at least $600 or $800 “if he is a hard worker.” The Committee adjourned hearings until next Monday. - — BULLETINS TOKYO—General Mac4rthur told the head of a Korean news agency today that Korea should be repre- sented at the peace conference for Japan. we Committee ‘is the YAKIMA, Wash.—Clarence Carl- son, 35, Ellensburg pilot, died last night in a Yakima hospital of in- juries received 10 days ago in a crash on his plane near Prosser.
