Take Dodgers 4-2
in second straight
Series victory
by Hugh Fullerton Jr.
NEW YORK (/P) The New
York Yankees shelled Bill Loes
for four hits and if our runs af
ter two were out in the fourth
inning today and beat the
Brooklyn Dodgers 4-2 behind
the steady pitching of Tommy
Byrne for their second straight
World Series victory.
Byrne, the second Yankee
lefthander to face the Dodgers,
limited the Dodgers to five hits
in a supurlb performance.
With the Yanks two uip., the
series moved to Brooklyn's
Eblbets Field Friday where
righthander Bob Turley of the
Yank's is slated to face Johnny
Podres in the third game.
The Yankee scoring was lim
ited to one big inning as Karl
Spooner came up with a one
hit relief pitching job for three
innings. But that inning was
enough for the crowd of 64,707
that jammed into Yankee Sta
dium.
The Yanks had made only
three hits off Loes and were
trailing 1-0 with two out in the
fourth when they suddenly
caught (fire.
Brooklyn’s third double play
apparently had snuffed out a
scoring chance when Berra
dropped a single into short left

es and Elston Howard drove a
hard single to left, (bringing in
Berra with the tying run.
Fiery Billy Martin smacked
another single and Collins scor
ed. The Dodgers fielders look
ed rather bad on both hits.
Jackie Robinson tried to cut
off Junior Gilliam’s throw to
the plate on Howard’s hit and
slowed the ball enough that
feere was no chance to get
Berra. Then Gilliam failed to
make a throw as Collins tallied
Eddie Robinson, batting for
Phil Rizzuto, was hit by a pit
ched ball and the bases were!
full. It was Byrne who drove
in the third and fourth runs
and sent Loes to the showers.
It was a hard drive to center
for a single that scored Howard
arid Martin. Don Bessent then
relieved Loes and forced Bob
Cerv to ground out.
Cerv had come in after the
second inning when Hank
Bauer was forced to retire.
Bauer had pulled a muscle slid
ing into second base in the first
inning.
Brooklyn had scored a run in
the ifirst half of the fourth on
Peewee Reese’s douible and
Duke Snider’s single to go into
the lead. The Dodgers got an
other in the fifth when Robin
son drew a walk, took second
on Don Zimmer’s single and
reached third while pincth-hit
ter Frank Kellert was ground
ing into a double play. Gilliam
brought him home with a sin
gle.
That ended the scoring as
Spooner took over for Brook
lyn at the start of the fifth and
checked the Yankee batters as
effectively as Loes had done in
the first three innings. He
yielded only one hit and fan

stint. Clem Labine finished

Report Eisenhower
had a very good
night again
'DENVER i/P) A bedside bul
letin reported today that Pres
ident Eisenhower had “a very
good night last night”
At 7 a. m. (MST) report
from two of the chief execu
tive’s physicians said that:
“The 'president had a very
good night. He slept almost
continuedly under the oxygen
tent from 9 p. m. to 6:15 a. m.”
This was from Maj. Gen.
Howard M. Snyder, the presi
dent’s personal doctor, and
Col. Byron E. Pollock, chief
heart specialist at Fitzsimons
army hospital, where Eisen
hower has been confined since
his heart attack last Saturday
The doctors have been say
ing rest and sleep are essen
tial to repairing the chief ex
ecutive’s damaged heart and
putting him on the road to re
covery.
Thus the some nine hours
of sleep last night appeared to
be an encouraging sign.
On the basis of a procession
of similar bulletins over the
past few days, an atmosphere
of increasing but still restrain
ed optimism has developed here
about the chief executive’s
heart condition.
There still is an inclination
here to say the president prob
ably will cut himself loose from
politics and turn down any at
tempt to induce him to try for
a second term in the White
House.
But in Washington, where
practical political aspirations
may outweigh actual medical
considerations, there was a
suilge of hope today that the
president still might head the
GOP ticket in the 1956 elec
tion. These hopes were pegged
in part to reports that a cab
inet member has told a group’
of party money raisers there is
no definite reason for thinking
Eisenhower can’t run again.
Rep. Oliver P. Bolton (R
Dhio) recently recovered from
a heart attack himself, wrote
Eisenhower he was looking for

Sitka moves toward goal of
industrial development
by Ernestine C. Veaitdh
Evolution from the status of a fishing village, with activity
centered around a few brief summer months, to that of an in
dustrial city is the goal of Sitka — site of the proposed $55,000,
000 pulp mill by the Alaska Lumber & Pulp Co.
Ever since the first visit of representatives oif Japanese
lumlber, ipulip and rayon interests in January of 1952, this dream
of industrial development has begun to assume coricre'te form
and» 'become a reality. The
Japanese dispatched to Alaska
timber experts, foresters, in
dustrialists and other men of
high calibre to gather the data
needed for their planning; then
formed the Alaska Pulp Co. in
Tokyo and later the Alaska
Lumber & Pulp Co. in Alaska

Prompt action demanded on
Alaska Indian Land Claims
Aid for Alaska
industries asked
at hearing
JUNEAU UP) Prompt action
to unsnarl the knotty Alaskan j
Indian land claims (problem i
was urged yesterday before
the house subcommittee on
territorial and insular affairs.
William L. Paul Sr., a direc
tor of the Alaska Native Bro
therhood and secretary of the
Tlinigit and Haida Land Assn.,
called on the federal govern
ment to help in the Indians’
battle to retain land rights.
Paul testified on the second I
day of committee on-the-spot
hearings on Aaska problems.
“As regards to land,” he told
the committee, “the Indian is
a Ward of the federal govern
ment.. The guardian ought to
| exercise his right to protect
his ward.
“We cannot stand against
the concentrated opinion of tihe
thousands of people who want
our land.”
Paul attacked the Bureau Of
Indian Affairs, contending the
bureau had thwarted attempts
to settle land claims. He said
the Indian group is not permit
ted to hire an attorney for
land claims action without the
approval of the Indian bureau.
“We can’t change attorneys
without the approval of the In
