Harrist foiled the plan by bloop- ing a single into the outfield and two runs scored. At San Diego, the Padres nicked Guy Fletcher for 13 hits, but lost anyway.

Despite increasing military airlift demands, none of the Alaska clippers has been sent to the Pac- ific. “So far, we have been able to our airlift commitments with aircraft transferred from the Atlantic and Latin America,” PAA officials said. “While it has been necessary to cancel some individual Pacific flights and occasional cancellatichs in Alaska may become necessax'y, there is no overall reduction of regular service in sight. Passen- gers booked for cancelled flights are merely rerouted and they will be handled with the least possible delay on alternate flights.” BILL GIVING GOVT. CHIEFS RIGHTTO FIRE IS IN SENATE WASHINGTON, July 15 — # — bill giving 11 government agency heads the power to fire outright any employees they consider risky to U.S. security was handed over to the Senate today following top- heavy approval in the House. By a vote of 327 to 14, the House late yesterday enthusiastically en- dorsed the proposal. It means that employees deemed to be bad secur- ity risks could be booted out with- out appeal. There are about 800,000 federal { employees in the agencies affected. While some House members raised the cry of “dictatorship,” an overwhelming majority shouted ap- proval of giving most government department chiefs “absolute discre- tion” to fire civilian employees they consider dangerous to the national security.

His report vigor-| ously spiked rumors that the 600- mile-an-hour Shooting Stars were| too fast and so ill-suited for the| Korean fighting. Pro-Nationalist Chinese newspa-| pers in Hong Kong reported the en- tire Red China Fourth Field Army ! has been ordered from its present position in South China to Masm- churia, near the Korean war zone. It is the first time an actual unit has been named in the repeated | reports of Communist Chinese movements to the north. The Fourth Army is described as the “mother unit” of North Korean vet- erans in the China war. | PAA WIVES LEAVE AFTER PLEASANT VISIT IN JUNEAU After visiting in Juneau for two weeks, Mrs. Keith Petrich and Mrs. Gene Sloane left by Pan American Saturday for their homes in Seattle.
