LXVIII., NO. 11,007 “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” Sp— JUNEAU, ALASKA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1948 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS RUSSIA TRIES TO BLOCK BLOCKADE PROBE Cleveland Indians Beat Boston Sox In Playoff TWO HOMERS, THREE BASER WINS GAME Boston Is Outslugged on| Home Field-Rearden Tames Red Sox By JACK HAND FENWAY PARK, BOSTON, Oct. 4—iM-Cleveland won the Ameri- can League pennant today, outslug- ging ‘the Boston Red Sox, 8 8-3, in an unprecedented tie playoff, on a pair of hemers by manager Lou | Boudreau and a three-run circuit clout by Ken Keltner. The Indians will meet the Bos-| ton Braves in the first game of the world series at Braves Field| Wednesday. Southpaw Gene Bearden, pitch- ing with only one full day of rest after shutting out Detroit Satur- day, tamed the Red Sox with a five hitter in their own ball yard. It was the 20th win over the sea-| rookie | the 28-year-old of the and - his son for from Oakland Coast League, straight. Boudreau, the hitting and tield- | ing leader of his team all season, led them to their first pennant since 1920 With a’ " terrific’ bat- ting day. * The Indians’ manager hit two homers and two singles in the attack on loser Denny Gale- house andn Ellis Kinder. He also drew an intentional walk. Thus the Cleveland club, which held to a two-game lead as late as Thursday morning and then fell into a tie on the closing day of the season, finally beat off the stubborn Red Sox at their own game—the home run.

Verified Data ! McDowell said his committee had !plenty of verified data to use as la basis for conducting the investi- gat on. There have been no reports |j ‘or organized Communist activity by Alaskans in the Territory, the con-} |gressmen said. McDowell said he had expected lto spend this month ‘and next on ‘the West Coast, following important |leads in Seattle, and then going up {the coast as far as Nome. Current! i hearings here on the alleged Com- .munlst spy rings within the govern- !ment caused him to delay the trip. He sz2id he hoped to get North by next spring at the latest, but haz- arded no guess as to when. Against Statehood ! McDowell, who has never been in| Alaska, expressed great admiration | 'for the Territory and its citizens, paying special tribute to the able work in Congress of Judge “Tony"” | Dimond, former Territorial Delegate. ; Asked if he would vote for state- hood, should a bill reach the House' next session, McDowell said he thought he would not. “I question the wisdom of giving | statehood to any territory off our !shores or separated from the Unit- OIL WORKERS, PEACE MOVEI IS REJE(IED{ Three of Six Companies‘ Refuse to Accept Con-. | ditions Submitted . | SAN FRANCISCO Oct. 4—4“—-‘ of six struck California | oil ccmpanies gave a firm . “no" | last night to a peace bid by strik- ! {ing CIO oil workers.

They were William Gibson, 51, Arthur St. Peter, 26. Warden Tom Smith characterized the two men as “dangerous.” St. Peter's escape today was his third successful try. But he was 1€- and captured on the two previous occa- .sluns. The two men were called into the classiffcation department for inter- views about 8:30 a.m. The depart ment is situated behind the prison executive offices. By some ruse they got into the Chief Engineer's office, which Iis Jocated behind the classitication department. They overpowered an employee, Bob Neil, tied him with rope found in the office, and gagged him, Smith said.

Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister |Andrei Y. Vishinsky led off his {tight to keep the Berlin issue out of the Council's hands. He declared the Western demand for U. N. consid- eration of the dispute was “devold of any ground, as it does not fall within the scope of the Sccurity Council.” : The issue, he said, should be sent ,to the Big Four Council of foreign | ministers, as a formal note from Moscow proposed earlier today. Vishinsky declared the U. N. charter forbids the Council to dis- cuss anything concerning Germany until the four occupying powers have written a peace treaty for the beaten country.
