The Juneau City League is
a mlad scramble this year. The
'last exCiting legue race in loc
ail play eatoe in l.he 1948 sea
I son. Kinlgipins that year were:
SJS, Edgeeumbe, SJJC and the
Stiltka ANB. The 1949, ’50 and
i ’52 seasons were notihinjg to
sneeze at, however ........
Ralph Peters, Ketchikan Rock
et coach, sent word here thiai.
the Colored Giants really
“wowed” the Firs! City fans
wii'th malgioian-like demonstra
tions. In their clash with local
AiNiB cl«b on Wednesday and
Thursday, the Philadelphia1 Col
ored outfit will provide great
half-time entertainment. Game
time for both bights is set for
| 8 ip. m. There are .o be no pre
| timinary games . Peters
burg will be the 'first high
school tealm this season (to vis
it the Baranof Stronghold. The
Vikings, once the most awe
some Club in prep circles, will
meet i he Sitka Wolves in a
two .game series on Jan. 6-7..
N>N KSaiyhli and Juneau’s mam
moth iCMmson Bears are also
due in town — but in Febru
ary . the ANB Tribe
will visit Ketchikan for a two
game series on Dec. 28-29 and
don’t be surprised if the Rock
ets fake both ends of the twin
bill . the new “12 foot”
free throw lane, put into effect
this season is mandatory and
should fee used. This rule ap
plies only to teams of college
age . the Oi y Baseball
Lealgue, one olf the traditions
of this fair city, Should be re
vived next year. If nothing is i
lane to help the local City Bas
setibal'l Lealgue, ill 'Will meet
he salme a/wlfiuil fiatte that be
fell the baseball league — to
-al albandonlman/t. We can still
remember such great indepen
dents as l.ihe City Team, Tigers
9iems Drlake, Silver Foam,
Halit’s and Commertciiail. It is
faa‘ (better to have the ovesr
the-high-school-age athletes oc
euipieci in Wholesome activity I
rather than in some other sort
of entertainment that we don’t
care to mention. lad
Fridiay’s game between Edge
oumlbe and Sitka was a dandy
Our write-up on 'that game
was misplaced somewhere 'be
tween the Island and the Sen
tinel office . Ketchikan
is to be the host oiity for the
third ‘annual Southeastern
High School! Tournament. We
are stiekinlg by the guns in pre
dic( inig the Southeastern crown
for one of the three local
schools . and we hope a
capacity crowd is on hand for
the Philadelphia Colored Gi
ants series. The weatherman
had better eooperte too.
Defense budget
gfilnnibg next July 1. In the cur
rent fiscal year, defense spend
ing is expected ilo run1 between
34 and 35 billion dollars with
the alir force spending about 15
billlion.
The evidently firm decision
to increase militialry expendi
tures by perhaps a half billion
dollars or more indicated the
administration has no current
plans to propose a cuit in 'taxes.
Although this subject was
not mentioned in ithe general
meeting wUJh leaders, some of
them said they have been told
individually there will be no
tax cutting recommendation in
the President’s forthcoming mes
sage V o conlgress.
19 voting age
inig limit is ant oM concept that
does not apply to modem times
Those opposed to lowering
the voting 'age to 18 wondered
if adimisstidn i’.o Pairs, service on
juries iamd bblilgations to suits
and eonltrlaldtis would folilow.
They also feared that congress
would not grfanit statehood with
such a low vol dng age -require
ment. Lack of maturity, sus
septiibility -to persuasion and
lack of weM-rounded worldly
knowledge were other reasons
against the 18-yeacr-dld as a
voter.
Before itihe debate on I he
voting age started, delegates
already /had spent an hour ar
guing about whether to in
elude lalbiility i.o write in the
qualifications for voting.
The committee recommend
ed that suffrage be extended
to those able to “read or speak
he English language.” Manr
ice Johnson moved ito add' the
albillity to write. This flailed by
a vote of 42-11.
The clincher in the debate
was the argument that persons
deprived the right of education
should not be diiscrdmdniai'ed a
gainst. Delegates Mildred Her
mann. Maynard Longborg and
Frank Peratrovioh all referred
to outlying areas in Alaska
which have no schools or where
schools were onily established
i!n recent years.
The delegates called the ses
sion quits ef. 6 o’clock. The ar
ticle on suffer age and election
vas Still before them. Further j
storms are expected.
Half time record
sandwfiohed in somewhere be
tween anil-fmomdirig and ail-'aft
ernoon plenary sessions.
The delegates are on the i
treadmill now, and they know ^
it. They melt in committees
last Friday might and Sumdlay. I
This plaice is expected to con
tinue.
During the forthcoming 15
daiy recess — from Dec. 20 thr
ough Jian. 3 — hearings are ten
tatively scheduled in the follow
inig communities: Ketchikan,
Wrahgell, Petersburg, Sitka,
Juneau, Hiaiines, Nenama, Kla
wock, Nome, Unatakleet, Arndh
ora(ge, Palmer, Homer. Sewhrd,
Kodiak, Cordova, DiHliniglhiaim,
