Mickey Rocco next slammed & single to right, scoring Marquez and ! showering Solon hurler Max Sur kont. .Jess Dobernic relieved and helped the Beaver cause by walking three batters and throwing a single to Joe Polich. Glen Lierman came in to put out the fire. Red Embree hammered the Seattle Rainiers deeper into the Pa- cific Coast League cellar. Throwing a six-hitter and striking out ten, he pitched San Diego to a 10-3 win over the Rainiers. Embree never allowed more thaff one run an in- ning.

Calvert's sale to Detroit by Wash- | ington last winter was an obscurc| waiver deal. But it was a key move in Manager Rolfe’s 1950 plans. Rolfe likes Calvert’s low sinker. The manager’s neat little book ot past performances told a Calveri story that belied his 6-17 record and his 14 straight defeats in '1949. Red knew he had the starting pitchers to match anything in the league. Virgil Trucks, Art Houtte- man, Ted Gray, Freddie Hutchin- son and Hal Newhouser, until he came up with a sore arm. But then what? “That's my problem,” said Rolfe during spring training days at Lakeland, Fla. “If I can come up| with a dependable relief man we'll be in pretty good-shape. I hope Calvert will do it.”’ Calvert, a 3l-year-oid veteran with a history of arm trouble, may not be the ideal fireman. But_he is determined. ’ Calvert camg along slowly in the| spring exhibitions. By opening day he was ready. Rolfe used him three umes in the first seven games as «he Tigers surged to the league lead in a spurt start. Against the St. Louis Browns yes- terday, Calvert slipped through two hitless innings to earn an 8-6 de- cision in the tenth. It was the first game he’d won since last June 3 when he beat the same club with a nine-inning effort. ‘The Tigers, surging to their sixth win in seven starts, won in the ‘enth on a walk to Eddie Lipon and singles by George Kell and Pat Mullin, For the second straight day, a New York Yankee pitcher went the route as Eddie Lopat stopped the Boston Red Sox with eight hits, 10-2. The Yanks unloaded an 11- hit barrage including homers by Hank Bauer and Yogi Berra. Ted Williams returned to the Bos- ton lineup after missing four games, 2ut he didn’t help. Hitless in four wrips, Williams’ batting average sag- | sed from 571 to .364. Sid Hudson, the Washington vet- eran who was reported “finished” in spring training, boosted the Sen- ators into third place with a 5-3 vic- tory over Philadelphia in a night 3ame. Brooklyn, home of the rhubarb, | popped up with a 5-4 win over the Phillies in 10 innings. Manager Eddie Sawyer finished the game| under protest because of a dispute over a ground rules double by Roy Campanella. Howe Pollet hit his 20-game win- ning form of 1949 with a five-hitter | against the winless Cincinnati Reds. Enos Slaughter assured the St. Louis Cards of a 3-2 edge with a fifth-inning single following Stan Musial’s triple. A New York at Boston night game in the National was postponed be- cause of cold weather. Pittsburgh and Chicago. were not scheduled. Cold forced postponement of the Cleveland-Chicago game in the American. B.B.

ANN'S HOSPITAL The X-ray technician at St. Ann” hospital had never taken X-ra; photographs of anything but hu- mans. But a fish had to be photographec under the X-ray, Alaska Depart ment of Fisheries Robert R. Parke said. It was an important prelimi- | nary step in the research program on black cod. So the piscatorial specimen, par’ of last year's catch, was gently placed under the X-ray machine ‘There was a buzz. The picture wa | taken. The first photograph wasn’t good After all, the X-ray technician had had no previous experience photo- graphing fish. Another try wa made, and another, until a photo- graph was taken which showed the | fish’s skeleton perfectly. Today Parker explained the us¢ of the X-ray photographs. “Here, just behind the third ray (bone) in the anal fin, is the strongest place on that fin to at- /tach a tag,” he said. “Just behinc the third bones in the first and | second dorsal fins are the strongest }places on those fins to attach tags.” The tags, he said, will be used to trace the movements of the black cod, one of the commercial fish in Alaska least known to biologists EASTERN HALIBUT THREATEN MARKET FOR WESTERN FISH SEATTLE, April 27—®—The Pa- cific Coast halibut fishing industry is menaced by uncontrolled halibut fishing off the east coast, a fish | company executive said today. The fear was expressed by E. A. Ruthford, vice-president of the San Juan Fishing and Packing Company. He said halibut fishing was resumed this year for“the first time in more than a decade on the eastern banks. Thirty boats, considerably larger than any used on the west coast, have gone after halibut off New- foundland and already have forced down the price of frozen western halibut which is shipped east, Ruth- ford said. The eastern boats dre not con- trolled by quotas and may fish as long as halibut is available. Western operatars are limited to 55,000,000 pounds this year under a quota set by the International Fisheries Com- mission. Ruthford estimated the Eastern- ers would catch 15,000,000 to 20,- 000,000 pounds, which they will be able to put on eastern markets at 10 cents a pound under the price for the western product.

GREEN, Agent—Juneau—Phones 2 and'4, THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA ALASKA FISHERIES DEPT. IS TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH FWS Cooperation between the Alaska Department of Fisheries and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will continue this year, according to C. L. Anderson, director of the Terri- (orial department. Employees of the department workéd with FWS men during last year’s tishing season with good re- sults, he said, and the same coop- eration, plus correlation of other phases of fisheries department work with wildlife service projects, s expected to bring good results .his year. This was brought out when An- lerson described today the accom- plishments of the Alaska Board of Fisheries during its annual meeting aere last week. The conference in- :luded a joint session with repre- sentatives of FWS. During the joint meeting a dis- cussion of 1949 projects showed hat the correlation of department md FWS work had prevented sostly overlapping, he said. He explained that while the Ter- itorial fiscal year begins April 1, he Federal fiscal year does not segin until July 1, and often late n the fiscal year problems in con- ervation or enforcement needing mmediate attention arise. The wildlife service, at the end of its appropriation, is unable to attend ‘0 these. and the Territorial De- partment steps in. As an example of this he cited he need for stream watchmen early in June on the northern red salmon srounds. The 'Territorial Depart- ment of Fisheries will send men 10rth to protect these valuable sal- mon streams, he said. As another example he told of he fish ladder at Paul’s Creek near Petersburg. The ladder was planned for construction last fall, but the service found it had insufficient funds to complete it, so the fisher- es department stepped in with help, and soon the fish ladder will open 1p eight miles of spawning ground ibove the falls which once stopped ilver and pink salmon from going upstream. The Territorial department of fisheries recently began a research orogram into the troll salmon. These salmon were chosen for study be- cause they have been neglected bv FWS. Anderson cited this research program as another instance of correlation between projects of the Territorial Department of Fisheries nd the FWS to prevent overlapp- ing. He said the Alaska Fisheries Board decided that the bulk of the department’s funds will be used for enforcement in cooperation with the FWS and for bio.ogical re- search. J. H. Wakefield, board member from Port Wakefield, Kodiak Is- land, was chosen chairman for 1950. The next meeting of the board will be held in Ketchikan next fall, Anderson said.

Alaskans Purchase JSC Planis Anch., Also in Fairbanks R. W. Ferguso: of Fairbangs an- nounced today completed the purchase of properties of Juneau Spruce Corpo- ration in Anchorage and Fair- banks, The sale includes the' re- tail lumber and building materials business formerly conducted at both Anchorage and Fairbanks, as well 15 the sawmill at Fairbanks. Ferguson was active in organiz- ng the company with the assistance f F. E. McDermott of Anchorage and Leslie Nerland of Fairbanks. Ferguson stated, without naming the purchase price, that the stock- holders were all Alaskan residents residing in Fairbanks and An- *horage. ‘The company will coniinue to op- erate both retail yards and the sawmill under the same managers as were employed by Juneau Spruce Corporation, which has sold its plant at Juneau to a group of Ju- neau businessmen who organized Juneau Lumber Co., Inc., under ‘he management of B. C. Canoles, Ferguson has recently returned from Seattle and Ketchikan where he has arranged for large shipments of lumber to meet the spring de- mand of the company in the Rail Belt and has arranged for some lines of new merchandise so that & complete building materials busi~ ness can be conducted with an ade- quate stock. UNIFORMS FALL FROM SKY FOR KING ISLAND NATIONAL GUARDSMEN Uniforms and rifles for the unit of the Alaska National Guard on King Island, about 70 miles from Nome in the Bering Sea, fell from the sky today. They were dropped by an Alas- ka Air Command B-17, one of the aircraft operated by the 10th Res- ‘ue Squadron, AAF, according to Lt. Col J. D. Alexander, Alaska National Guard adjutant general. The unit, part of Company A, First Scout Battalion, was organ- ized last summer at Nome where the ivory-carving Islanders go when the Bering £2a is cleared of ice! It is led by Sgt. Edward Pen- tatdc and Sgt. Anowlic. Training of the King Island unit ‘s supervised by a Jesuit Priest, Tom Cunningham, who holds a tommission as captain in the Offi- ces Reserve Corps. But uyntil today the unit had little with which to carry out its training. Uniforms and rifles had not; been available when the King Islanders left Nome, and the island is isolated by Bering Sea ice for nine months. Then the B-17, which left from Anchérage this morning and stop- ped at Nome to pick up the equip- ment, flew over and dropped the parachute-loads. “We can be quite sure the King Island unit will meet - tonight,” Colonel Alexander said. “Every- one will want to try on his uni- form.” ANOTHER CASE OF TYPHOID OCCURS ANCHORAGE AREA Another case of typhoid fever has ®occwrred in the Anchorage area and 11 additional cases are suspected, according to word re- ceived here tody at Alaska De- partment of Health headquarters.

OF DEFENSE AFTER MORE CASH; | REASONS STATED WASHINGTON, April 27 — (B — ‘The House Appropriations Commit- tee today recommended the 1951 military budget be increased by $350,000,000 asked by Secretary of Defense Johnson to tighten the na- tion’s bulwarks against Russia. Urging the additional funds, Johnson told Congress the Russian atomic explosion had come ‘“some- what in advance of the date we had anticipated.” He said that caused a complete revaluation of defense plans by both the United States and the North Atlantic Pact na- tions. The Secretary and members of the Joint Chiefs’ of Staff appeared before both Senate and House Ap- propriations Committees to review events leading to the plea for more money. Besides the Soviet Atomic ex- plosion, Johnson spoke of the in- creased strain in international re- lations and said: “None of this presents a happy prospect; but the cold war is not a happy circumstance.” Johnson testified behind closed doors but later handed out a state- ment covering the gist of his testi- mony. Among the developments which he said brought a tightening ot armaments and defense, Johnson also mentioned: “The fall of China, the serious situations in Southeast Asia, tha break of diplomatic relations with Bulgaria and deterforating relations with other satellite countries, the Soviet assumption of control over the armed forces of Poland, Soviet Naval expansion, the increased Soviet pressures in Germany, the recent attack on a Naval aircraft in the Baltic, and the recent Soviet demands relative to Trieste.” ‘The Secretary said the present record peacetime defense costs probably will grow larger after the next year.

DRAFT EXTENSION IS BEING SOUGHT WASHINGTON, April 27 — (B — In a reversal of his previous posi- tion Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) of the House Armed Services Commit- that Independent|to continue to boil drinking water tee today came out for extension of the draft act for two years. The administration has asked ex- tension of the law which expires in - | June. There have been no drafts under the present law since January, 1949, and considerable opposition has de- veloped in Congress to continuing the law. Vinson said the Armed Services Committee will open hearings Tues- day on the question. The first wit- ness will be Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Vinson said he feels world condi- tions are shifting so fast that it would be very unwise to let the draft act die. ¢ AT Tne GASIINEAU Mrs, O. A.
