HERMANSEN 1 (Cincinnati Enquirer) BASEBALL, TURN OUT Players of three teams in the Juneau Baseball League are putting up a good brand of ball to date in the series, yet the attendance has been nil The players themselves are in the game for sports- manship and are doing their best to keep baseball interest paramount in Juneau. They like to play to a good bunch of fans but it takes the tucker right out of them when spectators are few. It is up to Juneau baseball fans to now show the players the old American game is appreciated in Juneau and keep the sport alive o BOSS IS BL ATEN It took better than 30 years to do it, but Jersey City finally caught up with Frank Hague. This town that the last of the old-line bosses had all but carried in his hip pocket since 1917 finally dumped a Hague ticket. John V. Kenny at the head of a fusion ticket polled 81,117 votes; Mayor Frank Hague Eggers, the nephew to whom the boss had tried to hand on his crown, limped behind with only 59,231 | What Frank Hague began dictatorially in June | of 1947, when he retired as mayor and named Eggers his successor, ends now democratically. Those things |{s that of ridicule An Associated Press dispatch from Atlanta offers a variety of evidence that the activities of the Ku Klux Klan are on the wane. The reason given is that the attitude of the people has changed from one of fear No better weapon than ridiculs against a quasti-terroristic organization can be found. Clear, when giggnd young Negro children can loudly on tin pans, they know that they can get away with it. The sheeted gentlemen have only begun to look silly. The article points out in a more serious vein that a number of cities in the South, including Columbu and Macon, Ga.; have passed antimask odinances. This means that Southern politicians no longer feel that they have to play ball with Klan people who want to parade around the streets. Of course, parading unmasked would require more courage than bost of them possess. There is no plausible explanation for such mani- festations as the Klan. The most interesting one we ever heard came from someone who asked a Ku Kluxer why he had joined the Klan. He said that it gave evening in the week.

SENATOR BALKS The G.O.P. economy drive tripped | over Minnesota's Senator the other day—and lost its momentum At a closed meeting of Republi- can Senators, Thye had a few things to say about the 5 per cent across-the-board appropriation cuts.

N. on the issue. Acheson didn't deny anything—nor did ha | admit anything. “It was my responsibility and it was my decision,” Acheson said. Actually, Wherry was right. There was a major split inside the Ameri- |can delegation at the United Na- | tions, and the voting was three to two against Franco. Favoring the Spanish dictator were Chief U. N | Delegate Warren Austin and Ray ! Atherton. On the other side were Mrs. Roosevelt and Ben Cohen. The deciding vote was cast by a surpris- ing figure, John Foster Dulles who voted against Franco.
