__ AFTER HIM YOU’RE FIRST
SPORTING BRITAIN
The average Britisher, whatver faults he m a y
have, certainly shows no lack of sportsmanship. This
was demonstrated recently when the American liner,
the United States, broke the Queen Mary’s trans-At
lantic speed record and docked in Southhampton.
For some distance out from, port, as the United
States was approaching Southhampton, welcoming
tugs and vessels of every description greeted her and
beamed congratulations. Once inside the harbor, the
United States was given a reception which surpassed
anything seen in the United States.
The British were paying a sportsmanlike tribute
to an American vessel which had taken trans-Atlantic
honors from a British liner. Americans on board the
ship were frank to say they had seen nothing like it
and they expressed the same opinion of a demonstra
tion from a British carrier which was in a French port
when the United States unloaded its first passengers
after the record-breaking trip. On that occasion, per
sonnel of the carrier lined the decks of the British
warship and hailed the United States with a sports
man-like ceremony.
This attitude, which parallels the British fan’s at
titude in sports events, is an attitude of genuine sports
manship, which can do much toward creating good
will between the two countries as anything else, and
more than most speeches by government officials.

Delegate Bartlett Speaks
(Continued from Page One)
a great many more Democrats
than Republicans in the country
today and by breaking it down by
states it shows that it can’t add
up any other way.
Quotes Stevenson on Corruption
On corruption in the party
Bartlett quoted Adlai Stevenson:
“If the fear is corruption in
official position, do you believe
with Charles Evans Hughes that
guilt is personal and knows no
party? Do you doubt the power
of any political leader, if he has
the will to do so, to set his own
house in order without his neigh
bors burning it down?”
Referring to the closing of
Marks Air Force Base, Bartlett
stated, “No voteless delegate is
going to change the decision of
the high command.” He further
stated that his talks with Gen.
Kepner proved to him that the
people of Nome were safer with
out a military base. *
$762,000,000 for Alaska Defense
“Alaska will not be abandoned.
$762,000,000 has been spent for
defense here, and that’s a lot of
money,” he said.
Bartlett, who has been attacked
in regard to the Japanese fishing j
treaty ratified in the last days of
the Congress, defended himself
with the statement that “without
it the Japanese could now be fish
ing within three miles of the
coastline of Alaska but because
of the treaty they can’t now.”
He explained that Japan is the
first sovereign nation ever to
agree to remain outside a speci
f i e d zone and had voluntarily
given up fishing for salmon, her
ring and halibut on the Alaskan
coast.
Looking into the future, Bart
lett stated: “Our industrial future
will be founded on cheap power.
Industry will willingly transport
raw material to Alaska when
cheap power can be had. This is
not in the far distant future but
in the very near future.”
Advancements in Medical Aid
In surveying his past eight
years of service to the people o*f
Alaska as delegate, he expressed
the feeling that his work in ad
vancing medical aid for tubercu
losis alone has made his efforts
worth while.
“When I left for Washington
the first time there were only
100 beds available in the whole of
Alaska for patients with TB. With
the completion of the Anchorage
hospital there will be a total of
750 beds.”
Bartlett surveyed the accom
plishments of the Democratic Par
ty in the past 20 years with old
age pensions, aid to dependents,
Social Security, unemployment
insurance and other accomplish
ments.
Delegate Bartlett went to An
chorage yesterday to continued
his campaign in the Third Div
ision.

Stevenson Warns
States to Halt Wave
Of Federal Power
SPRINGFIELD, 111., (/P)—Dem
ocratic Presidential Nominee Ad
lai Stevenson called on the 48
states Thursday to give such good
government to their people that
they will halt the “tidal wave” of
centralized power sweeping to
ward Washington. •
In the first major speech since
his nomination, Stevenson warned
this drift will go on unless the
states “perform those necessary
functions of government which
don’t have to be performed in
Washington.”
Then he said: “The people will
demand the services and if they
don’t get them at home they will
turn to Uncle Sam. . . and the
states are the dikes which we can
build more strongly against the
flood waters sweeping toward the
District of Columbia. ”
Stevenson gave his own philo
sophy of government, defended
his record as governor of Illinois,
ripped into his Republican critics,
turned some of his criticism
against former President Herbert
Hoover, and also poked some sar
casm at GOP Presidential Nomi
nee Dwight D. Eisenhower.

New Army Rules Permit
Professional Athletes To
Play For Pay on Own Time
WASHINGTON, (/P) _ T h e
Army’s book of rules permits pro
fessional athletes to play for
money in their own field of sports
if it does not interfere with their
military duties.
A spokesman cited regulations,
as amended in February, 1950, to
show why Willy May, late of New
York Giant baseball fame, can
play in an occasional professional
or semi-pro exhibition game.
The book o’f rules, which gov
erns the lives and daily activities
of about IVz million army men
and women, also explains why
Don Newcomb, inducted into the
Army from the Brooklyn Dodger
camp, is tending strictly to his
military chores at Camp Pickett,
Va., where he is stationed.
Army experts explain the reg
ulations would prevent a profes
sional baseball player, for in
stance, from playing on a regular
schedule, except with his Army
or service team at camp. The rule
book does allow a soldier, if he
gets a liberty pass and is other
wise temporarily freed from his
Army duties, to play in an exhi
bition or special game and take
money for it.
