By DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1949, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) %HINOTON— Word inside labor circles is that John L. Lewis’ dictatorial control over his United Mine Workers is the shakiest it has been since the 1933 depression year, when the union would have folded up but for the rescuing hand of Franklin Roosevelt—whom Lewis later repaid with hate. There is growing dissension among rank-and-file miners, who were barely able to.support their families during the recent three- day-week work schedule—must less maintain an all-out strike with empty larders and no pay checks. And the fact that Lewis continues to draw his $50,000 & year, ride around in big limousines and put up at the best hotels while nego- tiating with the operators doesn't|Vevelstad and begin ‘his twelfth| ffom set well with the rank-and-filers. |lic utilities board. named to the school board.

The fast time proposal was battered down by a 944-370 vote. With yesterday's winning candi- dates on the city couneil will be incumbents George Rayburn, Vice President of Wien Alaska Airlines; R. M. Fenton, druggist; and James Doogan, Express Company owner. ! DOYLE, MAYOR, SITKA SITKA, Oct. 5—P— Dan R. Doyle, well known labor leader, de- feated Howard C.

The committee announced it will open tomorrow an inquiry into re- ports that Navy morale has sunk t0 a low point as a result of the| way the law unifying the Armed Services has been administered. Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) said the | first witnesses will admirals whose names were signed to papers that a Navy source gave secretly to reporters on Monday. They are Adm. Louis Denfeld, Chief of Naval Operations; Adm. Arthur W, Radford, Pacific Fleet Commander, and Vice Admiral Ger- ald F. Bogan, commander of the First Pacific Task fleet. The papers were a letter from Bogan to Secretary of the Navy Matthews with forwarding endorse- ments from Radford and Denfeld. Calling the papers “confidential,” the Navy has ordered an investi- gation of how they became public. Both inquiries are expected to spotlight—as d:d the B-36 investi- gation—the bitter quarrel between )the Navy and the Air Force over! : | their prospective roles in military | velt named the other five: Justices| Other large Pacific Northwest planning.

In Seattle, spokesmen for the salmon packing industry said the invalidated tax on the trap-caught fish represented about 90 percent of the total taxes involved in the controversy. That estimate was made by W. C. Arnold, managing director of | Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, and| Attorney Frank Mechem, who rep-| resents packers in the case. They declined to comment fur-, ther on the decision. The first interpretation in Alaska | of the judge’s decision was that the invalidating of the fish tax section of the bill threw out the whole! law, because there was no severa- bility clause to it. { Some qualified persons who read the decision said it did not spe- cifically state that the court was holding the parts of the act to be| “severable,” and allowing the quad- rupled trap tax provisions. At any rate, it appeared a cer- tainty that the case would be ap-| pealed to the higher Federal courts, prokably to the U.S. Supreme Court, FRENCH GOVT. | | | | | | i i | i | HEAD OFFERS {right to gather in Robkinson's easy bounder and started a double play. | (NL) left field foul line.

Lindell started late for Jorgen- sen's fly to left center and the ball went over his head for a two base hit. Snider swung and missed a three and two pitch to become Reynolds' first strikeout victim. Mapes moved a few feet to his fly. No runs, one hit, no errors and one left on base. Yankees— With the count one and one, Rizzuto attempted to bunt but raised a short foul which Hodges caught in front of the Yankee dugout. ~ Reese gathered in Henrich's sharp grounder and tossed him out.

CROWD ROARS § The crowd of 66,224 which sat politely quiet through mest of the afl let y Up to that time, it was a spark- ling pitcher’s battle that threatened to set a new series strikeout re- cord. Going to the last of the ninth, Newcombe, the Dodgers’ huge Negro Irookie, had 11 strikeouts and Rey- nolds, the Yankee righthander, had nine. The record was 22 and the indi- vidual mark was only 13, held by Howard Ehmke since his surprise opening start for the Philadelphia A’s against Chicago in 1929, GREAT GAME Few series games in recent times were better played than this thril- ler in which Reynolds, who had pitched ohly four complete games in 31 starts this season, blanked the National League champs on two hits. Newcombe allowed only five hits but he made the mistake of giving up the big one to Henrich. Just g8 in last year's opening game when Johnny Sain beat Botiy |Feller in the 1-0 opener of the | Boston Braves-Cleveland Indians series this was another tight-to- the vest battle. REYNOLD'S WORK 4he statistics revealed that Rey- nolds threw 123 pitches during the humid afternoon, 46 of which werg Lalls. He went to 3-2 on nine hit-; ters. On the other hand, New- combe threw only 114 times, 37 balls and no 3-2 counts. Thus the gallant Yankees who roared kack to cop the pennant on the last day of the season with an exciting triumph over the Boston Red Sox, have drawn first blood in this best-of-seven classic. REYNOLD'S STICK WORK * In addition to throwing this bril- liant game, Reynolds came through with a double and single. The other hits off Newcombe were a single 2y Johnny Lindell in the second inning and an eighth inning double by Jerry Coleman and Henrich’s homer. This was Tommy's fourth series homer and three of them came off Codger pitching. One in 1941 and ancther in 1947. His first came off the Chicago Cub pitching in 1938. After Spider Jorgensen doubled in the first inning when Lindell got a slow start on a well-hit ball, Reynolds did not allow another hit until Pee Wee Reese singled in the eighth. EARLY MCRNING SHOWER After an early morning shower, the sun peaked through the low overlying clouds some two hours Lefore game time. By the time Manager Burt Shotton and his crew came out of a secret club meeting at '11:30 a.m, the field had been bathed in sunshine for an hour. Long before game time (10 am., PET), the bleachers were jammed with their 13,500 capacity and most ities 38.04. {Continued on Page Eight) (Continued on Page Eight)
