Jersey Joe and the ex-light heavyweight king will tangle on the same card with the Tony Zale- Marcel Cerdan title tilt in Jer- | sey City’'s Roosevelt Stadium. To get Walcott and Lesnevich to ’takc part in the big fistic double- | header, the T. of C. guaranteed each $50.000. At first sight it looks like a costly maneuver since Zale, the middleweight champ, has been guaranteed $120,000, and Cerdan, $50,000.

Bill Kelley’s crew has been nip- | ping at the heels of league-leading BSan Francisco much of the season but now the Angels are five games behind and coming smack against Casey Stengel’s second place Oakland Oaks. In previous encounters this year the Angels and Oaks are all square, with nine wins each. They're each boasting a local “title,” too, Los Angeles having won the cross-city season series from Hollywood and {Oakland having nipped the Seals for the Bay area bunting. Oakland is only three percen- tage points behind San Francisco and this will have the incentive to catch the leaders. The Angels, on the other hand, must do business at the expense of Stengels if they are ‘ever going to get to the top i to retain their PCL pennant.

Fla., are new guests at the Baranof | J e e s ON THE BALLOT in the Oct. 12th election there will be a referendum on “the practice of fishing by means of traps should be continued o . . . should he abolished.” To abolish traps, we believe, would amount to confiscation and would permanently injure the Territory of Alaska. Can Alaska GROW - BACKWARDS? “Let’s go back to hand labor—it makes more jobs.” ... That, in effect, is exactly, what opponents of salmon traps are say: ing. And it’s a fact that trap fishing is the most efficient way of taking salmon in that it provides a continuous, steady supply of the product to canneries. Did you ever hear of an industry or a state building itself up by passing laws against efficient methods of operation? Of course not! Nor can the salmon in- dustry or Alaska go ahead by going back- wards. The truth is that traps as well as gill nets and seines are needed to carry on and expand Alaska’s largest industry— galmon fishing. VOTETO CONTINUE TRAPS! Here's why "YOU Should VOTE to CONTINUE TRAPS: 1. Traps mean jobs—not just for 45 days but for six to nine months for approximately 4,000 people, mostly Alaskans, 2. Traps “arc the best means of conserving 4 ~ Alaska’s salmon. 3. Traps pay taxes. Without them the Territory would have 1o levy additional taxes on all other Alaska businesses and individuals. 4. Traps, together with mobile gear, allow can- * néries to operaje efficiently. Without traps, at least 25 large canneries would close down because they would be miprd of their de- pendable supply of salmon—thousands of men would lose their jobs. . 5. Traps are vital to Alaska’s economy. Confiscate » them and you undermine the Territory’s sta- bility. An unstable region cannot develop a diversified economy. 6. Traps so stabilize the entire salmon industry that they make it possibe for packers to pay fishermen maximum prices. Confiscate traps and you cut down ihese earnings. Nobody gains—everyone loses. Traps are vital in.maintaining U, S. world leadership in the canned salmon industry. Con- fiscate them and you so weaken America’s position that it wfil be possible for Russia, utilizing U. S. built floating canneries, to seize this prize in world trade. ¥ Traps represent large investments in venture capital. Confiscate them and you discourage other industries from investing in Alaska's future. » Traps provide healthy competition. Confiscate them and you establish a gear monopoly in the catching of salmon. ‘Fraps, seines and gill nets — ALL THREE TYPES OF GEAR ARE ESSENTIAL to maintain Alaska’s canned salmon paok. Vary- ing conditions in the Alaska fishing grounds make it economically feasible to fish certain areas to full advantage only by means of traps.

Kopp charged {that she had discovered her hus- band, Karl, making love to a wo- man they shared their bed during the housing shortage in California. The in t, she charged, tcok place not too long after their mar- riage in 1944. “My plan,” she explained, “was that the young lady should occupy la cot in the bedroom while the de- | fendant and I ‘slept in the bed.” This did not suit her husband, ishe charged. His idea, she contin- ued, was that “the three of us could share the bed—the defendant sleep- ing at one end and the young lady ‘at the other and myself in the cen- ter.” Mrs. Kopp explained that she ob- jected to this plan but agreed to it {at her husband’s insistence in order tuto keep harmony.” Advisory Master Nicholas Toma- silo directed Kopp to show cause why he shouldn't support his wife and three-year-old daughter. e, INCORPORATIONS Decdd and Company, Inc., of An- chorage, has filed corporation paj ers with the Territorial Auditor's office.
