T—P—| Tokyo Rose, who “couldn’t believe they would sent me to jail,” today faced ten years in prison and a $10,000 fine in addition to the stig- ma of being a traitor. The diminutive former UCLA co- ed whose real name is Mrs. Iva D’Aquino stood in abject silence as Federal Judge Michael J. Roche pronounced sentence. Shortly before the court pronoun- ced judgement yesterday Mrs. | D’Aquino said: { “I couldn’t believe they would send me to jail' I did everything I could for the Americans.” The sentence appeared to stun | the 33-year-old woman who stood | with downcast eyes, body stiffly| tensed and hands clasped behind | her. | Defense Attorney Wayne Collins| said he would appeal and ask for| bail for his client next week. i Her husband, Felipe, sails for| Japan today aboard the Pacific| Far East Line ship Trade Winds.

The Washington Merry - Go- Round By DREW PEARSON (Copyrignt, 1949, by Bell Byndicate, Inc.) ASHINGTON— When good old Clyde Hoey, swallow-tailed Senator from = North Carolina, announced there would be no more hearings on General Vaughan, John Maragon and the five-percenters, it didn't surprise anybody on the inside. For insiders have known how much pressure has been exerted by the White House to shut the in- vestigation up. One month ago it was announc- ed that public hearings would be suspended in order to give the committee staff a chance to do more investigating, also to give Committee Counsel Rogers a two- week vacation. Since then, however, ‘White House pressure has been terrific with even stalf investiga- tors threatened with loss of gov- ernment. pensions. Since then also some sensation- al leads have been glossed over by committee investigators or careful- ly stowed away in pigeonholes.

INOW ON DISPLAY| DOCK STRIKE ON HAWAIIAN ISLES ENDING Work Orde;flaits Setle- ment of Non-Stevedo- ing Issues Involved By DOUGLAS LOVELACE HONOLULU, Oct. 7—(#—Hawaii's docks, struck since May 1, may be humming again at a normal rate next week An agreement to settle the long and bitter dispute with a 14-cent hourly wage increase was reached only yesterday—159th day of thej strike. The dock workers immedi- ately ratified it without a dissent-: The only hitch to an immediate Lack-to-work order was the settle- ment of non-stevedoring issues in ports other than Honolulu. That| will delay the work order two or| three days. Two negotiating teams of the parent union, the CIO International Longshoremen's and Warehouse- men’s Union, set out today to but- ton up these issues. | The settlement worked out by the| union and representatives of the| seven struck stevedoring firms was this: An immediate 14-cent hourly wage boost to the current $1.40. Eight cents of this to be retro- active from March 1 through June; 28. Another 7 cents increase next; March 1, the contract to run through June 15, 1951. Employers demanded the longer contract. ‘The union’s 2,000 dock workers, struck for an inerease of 32 cents. The 14-ceit: figure was recom- mended June 28 by a special Hawaii factfinding committee. Employers reluctantly accepted it then. The| uhion rejected it. MAPS JUNEAU AREA BE AVAILABLE SOON; Two new topographical maps, | scaled one mile to the inch, of the | vicinity of Juneau, have been pre-) pared by the U. 8.

J, Oct. 7—®— Psychiatrists today found Camden's mass Killer Howard B. Unruh in- sane. Prosecutor Mitchell H. Cohen said he will be sent to an insane {asylum without ever standing trial for the slaughter of 13 people on a Camden street on Sept. 6. The decision came after a month- long study of Unruh at the New Jersey State Hospital at Trenton. Psychiartrists reported to Cohen: today that they found Unruh to be “a case of dementia praecox.” Dementia praecox is a type of in- sanity in which the brain cells de- teriorate, It is considered incurable. NEW MOVE BY SOVIET COMMIES Government for East Ger- many fo Rival 3-Nation Sponsored Govt. (By The Associated Press) German Communists today pro- claimed a new government for East Germany to rival the West German Republic sponsored by the United States, Britain and France. The Soviet controlled German People’s Council in Berlin voted un- animously to become the lower house of the “German Democratic | Republic.” Previously thic council was only a forum without legal powers. Although the Communists repre- sent their latest action as a step toward a united Germany, Western observers said its effect will be just the opposite. Creation of the “Ger- man Democratic Republic” of East Germany sharply divides Germany into two nations and provides an- other satellite for Russia. Diplomatic officials in Washing- ton said the United States, Britain and France are considering adding their zones of Berlin to the West German Republic to counter the creation of the new Communist state. ‘West German politicians at Bonn, their capital, have long wanted to incorporate the western part of Berlin, but the Western allies so far have refused permission fear- ing such a move would antagonize Russia. There has been intense political activity in the past week in the Russian zone preparatory to the announcement today by the Soviet- controlled German People’s Council that an East German government now exists. No elections were held. Washington observers said that because of this latest Russian poli- tical move, the Western allies have embarked on a new tough-talking, tough-acting policy that may make Berlin the center of their next ac- tion. U. €. Undersecretary of State Webk issued a sharply-worded statement charging that the Soviet Union, having already reduced Eastern Germany to “an oppressive police state” is now trying to set up a “dictorial unrepresentative” government there.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7—(®—| The youngest Bishop in the Pro- testant Episcopal church, who pilots his own plane over his vast dio- cese in Alaska, talks enthusiast- ically about a job he finds both active and exciting. The Rt. Rev. William T. Gor- don, Bishop of Alaska, is 31 and| built like a football player. He had to wait three months, after he was adjudged prepared, to be conse- crated as a Bishop, because church cannons fix 30 as the minimum age. His work covers 5000 Indian, Eskimo and white communicants, iafter a summer job which he tcok two hospitals, 13 priests, numerous _schools and lay workers. His ene- .mies are tulterculosis, th¢ demon rum, and the unsettled state of Alaska’s post-war population. “Pamilies of 10 and 12 keep house in one-room igloos,” he said. “With the crowding, the T.B. rate is tan- tastic. “Last summer one of our doc- tors and I flew all over the diocese, trying out a new T.B. vaccine that; may save thousands of lives.” He said there is nothing unusual in his piloting his super Piper Cub plane. ALASKANS FLY MORE “Alaskans do more f{lying per| capita than anybody else,” he ex-| plained. “Besides, the dog team is expensive and outmoded: I used to| travel 6,000 miles in a dog sled when I was a priest at Pt. Hope, 400 miles north of Nome. But dogs eat 5 pounds of meat a day. | “Winter flying is fine, but it's not good to venture out when the tem- perature gets under thirty below.” “The Alaskan frontier needs the chureh’s settling infiuence,” Bishop Gordon declare. “One of our hardest problems 1s| the influx of Army and civilian| workers,” he said. “Away from home, they tend to let down. There’s so little for them to do. No wonder | every other building in Fairbanks, where my wife and I live, is a bar.”| Liquor is the greatest single trouble-maker among Alaska's set- itled Indians, in the Bishop's| opinion, | TRIBES DRINK UP WAGES | “Unscrupulous traders peddle it to the tribes, who can't resist, drink up their wages, and become easy victims to tuberculosis,” said| he. “As for the Eskimos, they live a lborderline existence, bound to| the sea, in a struggle for survival.” Bishop Gordon went to Alaska from Virginia Seminary as a priest in 1943. He met his wife-to-be on the boat from Seattle. He feels definitely settled in his post. “Alaskans are real people—happy, free and easy,” he declared. “It’s hard to get them into church thefi first time, but once they're in they're 100 percenters. No swank Easter Sunday Christians there. “I really love Alaska—it repre- sents a tremendous challenge for our church. But we need volun- teers badly—footloose and fancy free young men who aren't afraid! of hard work.” HARVARD GRAD TAKES SUMMER JOB IN NORTH T0 ADD TO EDUCATION An Easterner left Alaska today/ to add to his education. Solon Barraclough of Durham,| New Hampshire, who received his doctor’s degree in economics at Harvard this spring, has been working on a surveying crew in Mount McKinley park during the summer. He took the job after receiving his degree because he will work in Forest Economics and because he has been interested in Alaska for a long time. He was in Juneau today visiting with a friend of his family, B. Frank Heintzleman, regional for- ester, as he waited for the airplane south. He will attend the annual meet- ing of the Society of American Foresters, which will be held in Seattle this year, before returning to the east. ANCHORAGE GUEST Elmer F. Linkbeil of Anchorage { Mt.

'‘SHOREMEN | HERE HELD GUILTY, NLRB Board Ho|d§fickefing Ju- neau Spruce Unfair Labor Practice WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—(®— An NLRB trial examiner held yes- terday that Harrys Bridges’ CIO- Longshoremen's ‘ Union was guilty of an unfair labor practice for de- fying a National Labor Relations Board order. The Board had directed the un- ion to stop picketing the Juneau Spruce Corporation, at Juneau, Al- aska, in a jurisdictional dispute with the CIO-Woodworkers Union. But the picketing continued, Ex- aminer William R, Ringer found,| and he said that was an unfair labor practice under the Taft-Hart- ley Act. General counsel Robert N. Denham of the NLRB obtain- ed an injunction against the Bridg- es union to stop the picketing last May 14. The two unions were contesting | | the assignment of longshore work | by the Juneau corporation. The | NLRB ruled last April 1 that thei Woodworkers' union was entitled to the work. | The unfair labor practice which | Ringer said Bridges' group com- mitted arose from two sections of the Taft-Hartley Act. One specifi- cally makes a jurisdictional dispute an unfair labor practice and the other forbids a union from “causing or attempting to cause” an em- ployer to discriminate against em- ployes on the basis of their union membership or lack of it, Ringer Baid. The examiner’s ruling becomes a board order unless contested with- in 20 days.

Yankees: Runs . Hits Errors ‘Tot. 4 5 0 3 5 0 By JACK HAND EBBETS FIELD, Brooklyn, Oct. 17—(®—Big John Mize's two-run single topped a New York Yankee ninth inning explosion that barely survived a dying gasp double homer klast by Brooklyn today for a 4-3 victory in the third World Series game. As a result of the wiumph, the Yanks now hold & 2-1 edge in the Mize's blast off the screen atop the right field wall broke a 1-1 tie battle between Ralph Biance and Fireman Joe Page. As it turned out it wasn't enough to win, Jerry Coleman’s single to center, back to back with Mize's blow, drove in the run that was to be the clincher on this murky day. 2 HOMERS IN NINTH Henrich sent a smash down the! first baseline to Hodges who made the unassisted putout. Berra went down swinging, after he had foul- ed off four pitches. No runs, no hits, no errors, none left on base. Dodgers— - Byrne burned over the first pitch for a called strike on Reese,’ who worked the count to 1-2, then was hit on the right leg by a low inside pitch. Berra caught Miksis' high pop foul in front of the Yankee dug- out, and threw to Coleman at second to double up Reese who had attempted to go to second after the catch. Furillo flied to DiMaggio in right-center, swinging at Byrne's first pitch. No runs, no hits, no errors, none left on base. Second Inning DiMaggio struck out on four pitches, missing a fast breaking curve ball. ‘Brown popped to Rob- inson on the edge of the outfield grass. Woodling fouled to Miksis near the third base field boxes. No runs, no hits, no errors, none left on base. ) Dodgers— Robinson popped Byr- ne’s first pitch to Coleman behind first. Hodges fouled to Berra di- rectly in frort of the Dodger dug- out. Brown came in fast for Olmo's dribbler down the third baseline and threw him out on a close play. No runs, no hits, no errors. none left on base. Third Inning Yankees—Mapes walked on a full count, after Campanella failed to hold onto a foul tip which would have been a third strike. It was the first pass given up by a Dodger pitcher in the series. Coleman was called out on strikes and Mapes was nearly doubled up as he got back just in time to beat Camp- anella’s fast throw to first. Byrne singled sharply past Robinson into center field, and Mapes, with the hit and run on, went all the way to third. Rizzuto flied to Furillo. Mapes tagged up and scored after the catch as Furillo’s throw came in far over to the third base side of home plate, Byrne held first. Henrich walked on four pitches. Berra was out on a soft liner to Robinson. One run, one hit, no errors, two left on base. “Dodgers— Snider flied to Wood- ling, who made a nice running southzound Sunday. (Continued on age 2) Taking a 4-1 lead into the last of the ninth, Fireman Joe was rid- ing easy, but two homers oy Luis Olmo and Roy Campanella suddenly erupted the calm, Needing only .one run to tie, Bruce Edwards came up to pinch hit but took a third called strike from Page. Manager Casey Stengel had just been out to the mound, talking with his relief ace after Cam- panella’s homer but he decided to stick with Joe and he never made a better move. Clmo's clout came unexpectedly with one out and nobody on. Then Page, who replaced starter Tommy Byrne in the fourth, whiffed Duke Snider. Campanella’s blast, that just made the grade out the rail atop the left field wall, followed. The strikeout of Edwards wrap- ped it up. Branca, pitching magnificently, had retired 13 men in succession from the fourth to the ninth when he hit rocky going: Jackie Robinson had just saved a hit on a great glcved hand play of Tommy Henrich's grounder, tar to his left. There was one out and nobody on with the score tied. TROUBLE 1S STARTED i A base on balls to Yogi Berra on a 3-2 count started the trouble. When Branca retired Joe DiMag- gio on a foul pop, it looked as though he was in the clear for therg were two gone. 4 Bcioby Brown sliced a single to left and the bases were jammed when Gene Woodling drew a pass, also on 3-2. Up came Mize, the 36-year-old 2x-8t. Louls Cardinal and New York Giant who was acquired by the Yanks in late season, from the Giants. Mize batted for hitless Cliff Mapes, Big Jawn took a ball, a strike and then another ball. Branca's next pitcn was clouted high into the screen. It was a true-to-form perform- ance by the Dodgers who hit 153 homers enroute to the National League flag but it seemed odd for the Kanks to be winning on singles while the losers hit three out of the lot. Page, of course, was the winning * pitcher and Branca the loser. Fully 84 per cent of the weight of an average passenger automobile is steel.
