ROUNDUP

(By Hugh Fullerton. Jr.
• NEW YORK, UP)—1The St. Louis
Cardinals have come east to ham
mer away at the three clubs that
are ahead of them in the National
league race and manager Eddie
Dyer, for one, isn’t surprised that
they’re within shooting distance of
the top after the miserable start
they got this spring. . . . “On our
first eastern trip,” » says Eddie,
“Stan Musial was sick with ap
pendicitis; Terry Moore was out
of the lineup and sa was Erv Du
sak. With fellows like that out, we
couldn’t play good baseball. Now
they’re all in there. It isn’t so
much that new players we’ve got
since then helping us as the old
ones playing their game.” . . . The
Card manager checked himself to
think things over a bit as he saw
Ducky Medwick striding out to
take hitting practice. ... “That
fellow has been a lot of help,” he
admitted. “He gives me another
right-hand hifter to put in there
against lefties—and he’s a great
competitor.” . . . A1 Ennis, genial
general manager of the Philadel
phia Eagles, submits this prelim
chorage Regional W.A.A. Office,

Following the ceremony the

Veterans Fund
In Treasury
KETCHIKAN (/P)—Mayor Rob
ert Ellis, chairman of the Alaska
World War II veterans board,,
called upon board members Sat
urday to decline a request that
the board repay the Alaska gen
eral fund a $350,000 advance made
last year to start a revolving fund
for veterans’ loans and bonuses.
Territorial Atty. Gen. Ralph
Rivers, acting for the Alaska
board of administration, made the
request. The board held an emer
gency session this week because
of Alaska’s serious financial situa
tion, with only $8,000 in the gen
eral fund after paying June salar
ies, pensions and welfare com
mitments.
“I see no reason why veterans
should be asked to bail out other
departments from the predicament1
i the legislature left them in,” Ellis
i said.
The board of administration1
had suggested the $350,000 ad-!
vance be returned temporarily un-1
til more revenue is received from
the fall fish pack.
Ellis said that the sales tax set

atom bomb plant, pleaded inno
cent today to a federal charge of
removing top secret atomic pho

The plea was entered in his be
half at his arraignment after U. S.
attorney Otto Kerner, Jr., told
newsmen there was “no indication
from information we have that
Wallis let the photographs or neg

foreign power.
Bond was set at $10,000—a fig

recommended by attorney general
Tom Clark.
up to finance the revolving fund
had provided a total of $1,520,000,
which had nearly all been paid
out in bonuses and loans.
“The board of administration
has not interfered with other ear
marked funds and we regard the
veterans fund just as vital,” Ellis
said. “The wording of the law im
plies no repayment was expected
for four years.”
