And the American Legion won over the Moose ty 6 to 2 in the first game. Opening ceremonies were started by the High School band under the direction of Joseph Shotner piaying two selections with the three majorettes twirling during the second number. An Army color guard of three men presented the colors while the band played the National Anthem. Mith Mayor Waino Hendrickson as - catcher, Territorial Highway Engineer Frank Metcalf as batter, and Acting-Gov- ernor Lew Williams as pitcher, the season was officially opened. It was a foul and out. Prexy Joe Werner was all smiles and his Ump, “Big Andy” made the opening address which was short and to the point: “Remember all umpires are human and umpires can make an error.” Then “Red” Shaw shouted “Play Ball” and the game was on. PLAY BALL Following is a summary of the innings in which scores were made. Selmer of the Moose Men was -the first man to get & hit. making it in the first inning. Nielson of the Legion caught it and Selmer was out at first by the throw to Rolli- son. Halloway up next, hit the third pitched ball for a homar over " center field, the first of the season and of the game. The ball went out of the park into Gold Creek. Phelps got a base on balls but was caught off second by a throw from T. Magorty, Moose pitcher. Mc- Clellan struck out. In the bottom half of the first inning, Schmitz was caught oft first after going to first on kalls. Halloway made a beautitul throw. Nielson grounded out to first. Allred was passed on balls for the second walk. Cope hit a safe grounder be- tween shortstop and second. Rolli- son was given a base on balls and the bases were full. Kristan missed his chance to push in at least one run when he fanned for the third out. J. Magorty, first man up for the Moose in the second inning, hit a long fly to Krause on left field foul line. - Krause perhaps made the most beautiful catch of the game to put him out. T. Magorty hit out to Allred and the ball beat him. to first. Daugherty swung out to re- tire the side. * The lower half of the second Metcalfe 'hit through the pitcher and Selmer threw to first for the (Continued on Page Five) The Washington Merry - Go-Round By DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1049, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) ASHINGTON—They don't want it advertised, but the same Sena- tors and Congressmen 'who balk at voting a health program for others are accepting “socialized medicine” for themselves. Their aches and pains are treat- ed by a Government doctor whose fees are paid by the taxpayers. He is Dr. George W. Calver of the Navy, who guard over the health of the nation’s lawmakers. Ever since two Congressmen died of heart attack in 1928, Dr. Calver not only has kept ang office on Capitol Hill, but serves as “fam- ily doctor” to members of Congress. Twice a year, he also sends Con- gressmen out to Bethesda Naval Hospital for complete laboratory tests. All the bills, except prescrip- tions for medicine, are charged to the taxpayers—though the labora- tory fees alone would cost $150 at a private hospital. In case of serious illness, mem- bers of Congress are admitted to Army and Navy hospitals. They pay $9.75 per day—slightly mare that it. would cost them to stay home, and about one-third what it " (Continued on Page Four) UMPIRES ASSERT AUTHORITY OVER PCLEAGUE GAMES By JIM HUBBART In all the world there is only one creature who loses less arguments than a mother-in-law—and that’s a baseball umpire. Al Summers is a casc in point. Sacramento pitcher Kenny Hol- comb had held the Seals hitless for 4 1-3 innings when, after issuing two bases on balls, lie threw his giove to the mound and stalkea angrily toward the plate. Summers promptly gestured to- ward the clubhouse, and that was all for Holcomp?. It's against Coast League rules to argue balls anc strikes. San Francisco went on to win the game, 4 to 3 in a 16 =an:ng battle. The Seals took the aightcap, 6 tc 3 for their seventh straight victory. They are now in third place be- hipd San Diego and Hollywood. ANOTHER UMPS TROUBLE And the Padres, too, had umpire trouble Sunday. They dropped the opener of their double header af Los Angeles, 8 to 7, but the game was played under protest after the third inning. Manager Bucky Har- ris stormed to his feet when Big Luke Easter was tagged out while loitering back to base on a foul ball. Harrls muuwuned the bal couldn’t be in play because the bat- ter and pitcher were not in thei boxes. But umpires Pat Orr anc Bill Doran wouldn't change- thei minds. The decision on tne protest is up to League President Clarence Row- land. If the protest is ruled valid San Diego takes the series, 4 to 2. Otherwise they win 4 to 3. ‘The Padres tounced back with a vengeance in the nightcap, trouuc- ing the Angels, 13 to 1, Will Hafey twirled four hit ball before a re- cord turnout of 23,083 fans At Portland, Hollywood swept a twin bill from the Beavers, 7 to ( and 10 to 4. Relief pitcher Art Shal- lock quelled a ninth inning Port- ‘and uprising in ‘the opener, using three pitchers to whiff pinch hitter Timmy Gladd. The Seattle Rainiers dividec w.th Oakland, winning 11 to 4 and using 10-2.

Louis NO TIN LODE FOUND IN 1 ALASKA AREA WASHINGTON, May 16— (P — The Bureau of Mines described to- day ' the war-time exploration of Alaska's Potato Mountain tin placer district, ~one ‘ of the few places on the North American con- tinent where tin has ever been mined commercially. ‘The bureau report told of the production of 1,500 tons of tin con- centrate, prior to 1920, along Buck Creek near the tip of the Seward peninsula. Production ceased in 1920, but in June, 1943, the bureau started further explorations with two bull- dozers and two placer drills. From June through September, 256 drill-holes were sunk and all the principal creeks in the district except Red Fox Creek were ex- plored by drilling and trenching. The ftureauw’s finding? No lode tin of commercial grade has yet been found in the area. TWO CHAIN DRUG STORES INBATTLE LOS ANGELES, May 16—(®—The “Battle of the Drugstores” still rages today and about the only strategy left for the price custing foes is to start paying people to come in the store. The neighborhood corner of Se- pulveda and La Tijera boulevards in this city’'s Westchester section looked more like Chicago's Loop or New York’s Times Square over the week-end. There was no official estimates of crowds but a spokesman for one of the Lattling drugstores estimated 100,000 people visited the two stores over the weekend.' The war has been on for two weeks ever since Whelan’s, a na- tional chain, opened a store across the street from Thrifty, a Califor- aia chain which had its store stablished in the block for several years, At one tme, prices were cut so ow that a penny would buy a hearty bacon and egg breakfast, a juart of oil, 100 aspirin tablets, or pie ala mode at either store. Saturday night, both stores Jtarted giving away merchandise— packs of chewing gum, sample sizes of hair oil, deodorants, vanishing cream, magazines and other ar- ticles. There is no peace in sight. Whelan's and Thfifty’s both chant “We will not be undersold.” On the sidelines cheering them on lustily is the buying public, NEGRO AIRMAN IS CONVICTED, RAPE MURDER AT GUAM GUAM, May 16—(®—The 20th Air Force Court Martial today con- /icted Pvt. Herman P. Dennis, Jr., of the rape murdér;of Miss Ruth Farnsworth and sentenced him to death. The 20-yeu\-old Negro airman aluted smarv.ly when tHe President of the Court, Lt. Col. Gerry L. Ma- on of Las Vegas, Nev., pronounced sentence. The verdict is subject to review by the Commanding Offi- cer of the 20th Air Force, the Air Force Board of Review in Washing- ton and President Truman. If the verdict is upheld, the man- ner in which Dennis will te put to death will be determined later. Dennis, his half brother, Pvt. i Calvert Dennis and another Negro. Staff Sgt. Robert W.

Fish and Wild- life Service for, special summer de- tail have arrived here and are en- route to their stations. Two Virginians, Ralph Harris of Tappahannock, and Herman Bain of Norfolk, go out today to Yakutat. Harris will be game management agent there, taking over enforce- ment and fisheries problems in that area, as he did last year. Bain, who will assist him, is a pilot_and will operate one of the several airplanes in the Yakutat district.' It is his first trip to Alaska. They arrived on the Teal, as did H. M. Latimer, a Californian, who continued on to be game agent it the Cordova district. Their work will last through the fishing season, Eisler Taken From Ship at (By the Associated Press) British authorities today ordered Gerhart Eisler, Communist leader, tc show cause why he should not be deported to the United States. A Southampton magistrate’s court ordered the greying bespec- tacled fugitive remanded immedi- ately to London's Bow Street court, which handles extradition cases. Hearing there, however, was ad- ourned until May 24. Bail was re- fused. In Lopdon, Polish Ambassado Jerzy Michalowski arranged to see Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin to deliver an oral protest because Scotland Yard men lugged Eisler off the Polish liner Batory Satur- day. The Communist leader, called America’s No. 1 by Congress, stowed away on the ship in New York jumping $23,500 bail, while under prison sentence on two separate criminal convictions in the Unitec States. In Warsaw, the Polish govern- ment denounced the seizure of Eisler as a “brutal violation of the Polish flag.” An official spokesman said the government is considering furthex steps to back up its formal pro- test to Britain. | Minister Plenipotentiary Wiktot Gress said Poland would “react tc such an outrageous case of vio- lence.” He did not say how. Moscow’s Communist party news- paper, Pravda, chimed in, cal.lln] Eisler's arrest “crude assault,” “un- lawful,” and “unheard of” behavior: In Washington, Senator Wiley (R-Wis) backed plans for a Con- gressional investigation of how Eis- ‘er eluded Federal agents and fled the U.S. 4 KILLED, 65 ARE INJURED; TORNADO HITS TEXAS AREA AMARILLO, Tex., May 16—(®— A skipping, whipsawing tornado chewed up a four-square mile area in Southerh Amarillo last night killing four people. About 65 wer: injured. + It was the first destructive tor- Inado in the 62-year-old history of this Panhandle capital of 102,00 neople. Although many sections of Ama- rillo were hit, the tornado's most destructive blow fell on the scuthern area dotted largely with new homes of veterans. A near- cloudkurst—and hallstones as largc as a man's fist—added to the damage. To property damage here ma) | be added heavy loss to crops in the wheat-rich Texas. Panhandle— that part of the state which juts up to the north, bordered by New Mexico and Oklahoma, Hail such as fell here would de- stroy the near-ripe wheat—but smashed communication lines made it difficult to discover the exten' of the hailstorm.

FROM GOVT. WASHINGTON, May 16—#— The Federal government stepped into the Ford strike today in an ef- fort to get a settlement, Walter Reuther, President of the CIO Auto Workers, visited Fed- eral Mediation Director Cyrus S. Ching and talked with him about the strike. Ceming out of Ching's office, Reuther told a reporter, in reply 0 a question, that Ching's agency ceneiliation service plans to “have 1 man there today’—meaning at ‘he strike negotiations in Detroit. The union had asked the media- tion service to intervene in the trike. The Ford Motor Company, with 100,00 men idle, had declared in Detroit earlier that it would give ‘all possible assistance” to any Fed- ral peace effort. President Henry Ford II asked, however, that Ching “weigh care- ully” certain factors other than the strike itself before stepping into the dispute. One of these is the com- pany's contention that factionalism and politics in the union led to the strike. Union officials deny that.

The trip 1s to TAXES, DEFICIT ARE NOW BIG QUESTIONS UP BEFORE CONGRESS (By Douglas B. Cornell WASHINGTON, May 16.—@®—A weekend estimate that the govern- ment will go $3 billion into the red next year stirred up contlicting cries today for more econcmy and more taxes. The estimate was made for the Senate-House Tax Committee by its staff of experts. They forecast a “moderate” busi- ness slump. They figured that m; the fiscal year starting July 1, it would result in cutting the gov- ernment’s income by $2,100,000,000: and adding that much to the $800,- 000,000 deficit predicted in Presi- dent Truman’s budget. hat,” said House Democratic ieader McCormack (Mass), “is all the more reason for increasing tax- °s by $4,000,000,000, as President Truman repeatedly has suggested.” Slice Federal Spending In the Senate, however, Senator Russell (D-Ga) a®nounced that he and some other Democratic mem- bers of the Appropriations Commit- tee are drafting a bill to slice :bout $3,000,000,000 off Federal spending. Russell said their plans were started even before the report of the tax experts was issued. Sen- itor Maybank (D-SC) suggested the $5,580,000,000 Biff6p¢lin 'aid program as a good place to cut. Senator McKellar (D-Tenn), chairman of the Appropriations Committee, said he would rather ‘cut government expenditures than raise taxes.” Economy In Order Chairman Doughton (D-NC) said he doesn't want to be put in the positien of warring with the Pres- ident. And he wouldn’t forecast what his committee would do. But he said his own position is well tnown. “When it looks like we are going to spend more money than we got,” he said, “economy’s In order and mportant.” There are three ccurses open Doughton said: 1. Cut appropriations. 2. Boost taxes. 3. Resort to “‘deficit financ- ing,” which means going deeper nto debt to pay for government expenses. And, he said, the responsibility for the choice rests on all the memkers of Congress, “not on Bob Dougton and no on Harry Truman.” ® 0000 00 00 WEATHER REPORT (U. 8.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May 16—(® —By the sputtering light of signal flares, an air force glider-transport tescue team snatched a young University of Alaska professor from a snow-covered Central Alaska river island at midnight Saturday. The Air Force said it was the first night glider rescue ever at- tempted. Brought to safety in the daring pickup was Bert E. Griffin, Seattle, Wash., geology professor who dis- appeared Thursday on a flight from Fairbanks to Galena. An Alr Force search cratt, one of several that combed the area |fer 50 hours, spotted Griffin's "rented plane Saturday, upside jdown on a tiny Inncko river island akout 250 air miles west of Fair- 4 banks. Two crewmen and a medical offi- cer drcpped to the island in a glider. There they found Griffin apparently unharmed after hudd- ling for mort than two days in his sleeping bag, munching chocolate bars while awaiting rescue. . ‘The glider pilots, Lts. Robert A. Brims, Phoenix, Ariz, and Walter L. Klatt, Corpus Christi, Tex., and Medical Officer, Capt. Charles H. Manlove, Portland, Ore., trampled & crude runway in four feet of snow. Then they erected a pickup frame, clambered into the glider with Griffin and moments later were snatched into the darkness by the C-54 tow plane. This was the second successful glider “grab” for Sgt. Willlam E Norris, Plainview, Ark., tow reel operator aboard the C-54. His job is to play out 1,100 feet of nylon rope with the proper amount o tension during the pickup and in flight. Norris was abourd the mother ship which last December snatched the occupants of a downed C-47 from the frozen crust of the Stewart river in the Yukon Territory. Capt George Accas, New York City, the aavigator, also participated in both 'escue operations. Piloting the C-54 on the midnight {light were Capt. George H. Wood, Battle Creek, Mich,, and Lt. Rich- ard G. Lind (hometown unavail- able). Griffin told his rescuers he be- 2ame lost, ran out of gas and then turned turtle in his plane in a forced landing on the island. ‘The 10th Rescue Squadron sent the glider-transport combination tc the scene because the Innoko river ice was believed too thin to support even a small rescue plane. The 1sland was too far from Ladd field rere to dispatch a helicopter. CALIF, BEARS WIN ANNUAL REGATTA; UW TAKES JAYVEE By JACK HEWINS SEATTLE, May 16-—(®— The California Bears were the kingpins of world rowing' today because, when the break came Efaturday they were right there to skim past the Washington Huskies and win by a quick treath. The Olympic champions, racing the crew that beat them twice last year on the three-mile haul, were less than a length back going intc the final 100 feet, but it looked like Washington’s Poughkeepsie titlists cculd stop rowinz and win on mo- | mentum. Suddenly the swift- slicing Husky hull seemed to ram a brick wall ‘The No. Seven oar had chopped water on the recovery, jamming the end so hard in oarsman Rod Johnson’s stomach it nearly kicked him into the six man’s lap. ‘The Bears slid past to win by a few feet in 14 minutes 12.3 sec- onds. The time rates as a regatta record, although the course was shorter by a quarter-mile than the three miles of past arguments between the two old rivals. The Husky freshmen shaved nearly 44 seconds off the old course record by going the route in 10:11.08 to a length and a quarter victory. Cal's Jayvees spread 10 feet of open water between their rudder and the Washington boat, going the same distance as the varsity in 14:16, JUSTICES SPLIT IN DECISION Warm Words Swapped Among Themslves on Legal Statement WASHINGTON, May 16—#—The Supreme Court Ruled today that the police can't stop a man from making a speech just because his words make people angry and stir unrest. The Justices split 5-4 In their ruling on this fine point of Ameri- ca's cherished guarantee of free speech, and swapped some warm words themselves. Justice Jackson, who was on the losing side, declared: “If this court does not temper its doctrinaire log- ic with a little practical wisdom it will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact.” The case which brought the de- cision involved Arthur Terminiello, a Roman Catholic priest now assistant pastor of a parish at Pen- sacola, Florida. However, at the time of the Speech in question—Feb. 7, 1946—he was under suspension by his bishop. He spoke in a Chicago auditorium at a meeting sponsored by Gerald L. K. Smith. There was a near riot. Decision Overturns Fine As a result, he was pccused of disorderly conduct and was fined $100. That fine today was over- turned, Justice Douglas delivered today’s majority . decision. «.Chief _Justice Vinson wrote a dissenting opinion in which Justices Jackson and Bur- ton concurred. Jackson also wrote 1 separate dissenting @ opinion in which Justice Burton joined. Besides striking down the Term- niello fine the court on other ac- lons today: 1. Granted the government per- mission to sue Texas and Louisiana in an effort to establish paramount rights of the United States to rich 2il lands off their coasts. Soldier Case eciston 2. Decided, 7 to 2, that the Uni- ted States can be ordered to pay lamages for the death or injury of soldlers even when payments al- ready have been made under mili- ary and veterans’ b2nefit laws. The case came to the tribunal after the U. 8. circuit court In Richmond, Va., held the U. 8. district court for Wegtern North Carolina should a0t have awarded damages to a sol- dier and his parents. The soldier was injured and his brother, also an Army enlisted man, was killed n a highway aceident while they were on leave, 3. Ruled unanimously that the Federal Communications Commis- sion properly denied a license re- newal to radio station WORL of Boston. The Commission's retusal was based on a contention that the station gave false information about stock ownership and its financial status, More On Free Speech In his majority opinion in the Terminiello case, Douglas declared hat a function of free speech un- ier our systemr of government is to nvite dispute.” “It may indeed best serve its high purpose when 1t induces a condition of unrest, creates dissatistaction with conditions as they are, or even itirs people to anger,” Douglas add- ed. Jackson, however, declared that Terminiello’s victory today “certain- ly fulfills the most extravagant hopes of both right and left total- - tarian groups, who want nothing so much as to paralyze and discredit the only democratic authority that can curb them in their battle for he streets.” STOCK GUOTATIONS NEW YORK, May 16.—(#-—Clos- ing quotation of Alaska Juneau mine stcck today is 3%, American Can 92, Anaconda 29%, Curtiss- Wright 9%, International Harvester 24%, Kennecott 45%, New York Central 11'%, Northern' Pacific 15, U. 8.
