MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1950 Philadelphia Wins Pennant; Meet Yankees (By the Associated Press) Their_ first pennant in 35 years safely stowed away, the Philadelphia , Phillies today planned to shoot the works against the highly favored New York Yankees in the World Series starting Wednesday. Unless he has a change of heart, Manager Eddie Sawyer of the Phils will open with Robin Roberts, 4-1 conqueror of the Brooklyn Dodge: yesterday in the game that gave the Whiz Kids the National League flag. Roberts will be opposed by Allie Reynolds in a battle of right handers. Having clinched the Amer League pennant last Friday, well-rested Yankees will rule favorites over the tired Phils. Ex- perts figure the Yanks have tco much experience, deeper reserve strength and stronger pitching than the youthful Whiz Kids. Philly Manager Eddie Sawyer does not appear to be worried about the Yankee prowess. “We weren't figured to have 2a chance to beat Brookiyn for the pennant, were we?” he reminded. Rose-cheeked Robin undoubtedly pitched the greatest game of his life yesterday. However, he knew he was in a battle with Brooklyn's Don Newcombe. If Dick Sisler hadn't hit that homer with two on in the top of the 10th to snap a 1-1 tie, the game might be going on yet. The blow by Sisler, son of the im- mortal George who acts as Brook- lyn’s head scout, ended Brooklyn's - “miracle” finish that for a time threatened to throw the race into another flat-footed last day tie. It gave Roberts his 20th victory of the year after the youngster had made five futile tries for it. Roberts yielded but five blows to 11 for Newcombe. He had to sum mon all his wile and cunning to hold off a Brooklyn bases-loaded threat in the ninth that appeared destined to bring about the Phillies’ sixth straight defeat. Then it was the Phillies turn. Roberts opened with a single to center. Eddie Waitkus blooped ar other single to center. Ashburn, at- tempting to sacrifice, bunted into a force play at third. That set the stage for Sisler’s game-winning clout. In other final games of the Na- tional League season, the New Yo Giants defeated the Boston Braves, 5-1; Chicago edged St. Louis 3-2 in 11 innings and the Pittsburgh Pir- ates and Cincinnati Reds divided a doubleheader. The Reds won the opener, 3-2, and the Pirates the nightcap, 3-1. The Boston Red Sox trounced a bunch of New York Yankee serubs, 7-3, Cleveland downed Detroit, 7-5; Philadelphia beat Washington, 5-3, and Chicago and St. Louis divided a | doubleheader. The White Sox won the opener, 4-3, and the Browns the finale, 10-6. : LEADERS IN B. B.

BEAVERS HOLD ON TO PLACE By JIM HUBBART (Associated Press Sports Writer) The tenacious Portland Beaver: stand today as the only refreshing item on the agenda as Pacific Coast League baseball limps into its final week The Beavers have won 22 of their last 25 in their drive to that $7500 spot in the first division, fourth piace. They climaxed an 11 game series with Los Angeles yester- day by copping doubleheader, 6 to 3 and 9 to 6. They won nine of those 11 games. Oakland missed,a chance to clinch a mathematical tie for the pennant by losing the second game of a doubleheader with the runnerup San Diego Padres. The score was 12 to 9 in a weird seven inning ritual dur- ing which 12 pitchers saw acticn. Oakland won the opener, 7 to 4. San Francisco split with Seattle but clung to fifth place by way of Con Dempsey’s two hitter in the af- terpiece. The Seals won it, 5 to 1, but dropped the opener, 3 to 2. Hellywood crushed Sacramento twice, 9 to 4 and 4 to R. Frank Kel- leher, Jim Baxes and Clint Conatser swatted two homers apiece for the Stars during the afternoon.

We do not, in fact, know who does appoint spokesmen for the political parties of Alaska. On the whole, Mr. Roden, we respect your long residence in Alaska and your long and varied service to our Territory. We do not know of a Democrat in Alaska who could more capably fill the office of Territorial Treas- urer, or who could better inspire the confidence of Alaskans in that office We do not believe, Mr. Roden, that it is your intention to becloud the issues or befuddle the people. There are some statements in your recent “Message For Alaskans” however, that might be misunderstood by these Alas- kans. Hence, we offer this clarification. You speak, Mr. Roden, of the “Republican-controlled 1947 Legislature” and of the frightful condition of the Territory after that session. - Surely, Mr. Roden, you have not recently examined the record. The record shows that in the House of Representatives in 1947 there were 13 Republicans and 11 Democrats. The House can justly be said to have been controlled by the Republicans. The record further shows that in 1947 there were 9 Democrats and 7 Républicans in the Senate. The Senate, therefore, can be fairdy said to have been controlled by the Democrats. In that session, as you will recall, Mr. Roden, bills were introduce to provide a “basic” tax program. They were the same “basic” bills entered by the 1949 Legislature. But what happened in 1947? The general net income tax bill was introduced in the Democrat-controlled Senate. It was also killed in the Democrat-controlled Senate, only four of the nine Democrats voting for its passage. And the general property tax bill? It was introduced in the Democrat-controlled Senate. And it also was killed in the Demeocrat-controlled Senate, only four Democrats voting for its passage. But, back there in 1947, another net income tax bill was introduced in the Republican-controlled House. It was passed by a large majority in the House, only to die in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Who failed to pass the necessary “basic” tax laws in 1947, Mr. Roden, the Democrats or the Republicans? To go back a little further, Mr. Roden. What about the 1941 Senate, of which you were President? Was not an income tax bill introduced in that session? And when it came to a final vote, was it not killed, with 3 votes for and 5 against its passage? Was that a Republican vote, Mr. Roden? It was not. There was one lone Republican in the Senate that session. You appear to defend the entire tax program enacted by the 1949 Legislature, Mr. Roden, and to abhor any criticism of it. In this we presume you include the gross business license tax. In 1947, Mr. Roden, did you not speak on the floor of the House and help to repeal the gross tax on gold mines? That was a gross tax on only one type of business, and you found it abhorrent and unfair. We also believe it was unfair, as did the Republican-controlled House that year. Now, however, you seem to find a gross tax on all other types of business is fair and justified. Why is that? And the tax on gasoline, Mr. Roden. For the fisherman, is that not a gross tax on his cost of doing business? ‘Does he not pay the gas tax whether or not he makes a dime of profit on his fishing venture? Yet we recall that not long since you advocated not that this gross tax be repealed, but that it be doubled. You say, Mr. Roden, that Oscar Olson was a Republican until 1934. That may be true. We do not know that there is anything against his record before 1934; we are well aware of his record in subsequent years. A change of political complexion is not unprecedented in the present members of the Democratic administration. Governor Ernest Henry Gruening was also once a Republican. At least, he is so listed in Who’s Who for 1916-1917. You say, Mr. Roden, that conditions in the Territory have improved, particalarly in the last 18 years. We will concede a greatly increased Federal and Territorial payroll. We will also concede a great deal of spending for defense purposes. Do the Democrats claim credit for the latter? Are great defense expenditures neecssary be cause of the vaccillating foreign policy of the National Democratic Administration? In what other respect has there been “improvement?” Where is our mining industry? Where is the long- sought pulp development? Where is the risk capital necessary to develop these industries? Has it not been taxed out of existence by Democratic financial policies? What has happened to our fur farmers and our trappers? And what is happening to the fishermen, par- ticularly those who depend for a large part of their income upon the sale of fish livers and viscera? Are not all of these people being damaged immeasuxably by foreign zompetition, the result of the foreign trade policies of the National Democratic Administration? Except for the defense industries, can you point to a single new industry established in Alaska during the past ten years, Mr. Roden And the “progress” you report on the national scene? Has that not been purchaseddy borrowing against the future, by piling the ntiaonal debt ever higher and higher ? You have joined with other Democrats of the present administration in yelling “smear campaign,” Mr. Roden. Perhaps that is your oniy out. It is much easier to join together in a chorus of ‘“‘smear, smear, smear” than it is to justify the Democrcatic Party’s stewardship of this Territory during the past ten years. We assert that this is not and has not been a “smear” campaign. The Republicans have, however, brought out into the daylight a great many things the Democr: preferred to leave in darkness. We find ourselves in full agreement with you, Mr. Roden, when you urge the people to “vote for candidates wha will work not for their own selfish ends but for the public good and Alaska’s future.” s But, Mr. Roden, you did not name these candidates. You did not, in your messabe to Alaskans, even sugges that the Democratic candidates fulfill the requirement of unselfishness and public interest. Why is that? Could you not in good conscience, Mr. Roden, endorse the full Democratic ticket for the General Election? Paid Advertisment by: REPUBLICAN PARTY OF ALASKA W
