MANTLE IS
(AILED UP
FOR DRAFT
EL PASO, Tex., April 5 —UfI—The
publicity given Mickey Mantle in
the past month has. in the opinion
of Manager Casey Stengel, forced
the remarkable youngster’s draft
board to call him in for another
look-see.
The Yankee pilot just had been
notified by Mickey that he had
been ordered to report, to his board
at Miami, Okla., next Wednesday.
He was classified last winter as
4-F because of a bone infection in
, his left ankle which apparently is
permanent.
“I can understand it," said Casey,
, though the news plainly came as a
blow to him. "People have read all
these write-ups about him, about
how fast he can run, and they ask
why isn't he in the Army if he can
, do all that. They write letters, too.”
EXHIBITION
B.B. GAMES

Ted (The Brute) Kluszewski, 26
year-old first baseman of the Cin
cinnati Reds, is going to be a tough
customer in the clutch this season
if his Grapefruit league booming
is any criterion.
Kluszewski, hailed as one of the
1 coming sluggers of the game, is
whaling the ball for the Reds at
extremely opportune moments.
The former star end of the Uni
| versity of Indiana drove in all of
| Cincinnati's runs yesterday as the
! Reds defeated Washington, 3-0, at
Orlando, Fla.
The New York Yankees, mean
while, outlasted El Paso of the
Southwest International league. 16
to 10, in the Texas city. Hank
Bauer blasted two home runs and
Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Cliff
'i Mapes and Joe Di Maggio one each
} to lead the bombers’ assault.
Chicago White Sox edged the Pitts
burgh Pirates, 9-8, in 10 innings at
New Orleans. The Sox tied the score
on Jim Busby's homer in the ninth
and won out in the tenth when Ed
McGhee scored after Ed Robinson
f flied out.
Four home runs enabled the
Jacksonville Tars of the South At
lantic league to nip the Boston Red
i Sox 8-7, at Jacksonville, Fla. Third
j Baseman Ranee Pless delivered the
payoff blow, a 400-foot homer in
the last of the ninth.

THESE DAYS
By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY
A Congressional committee which
sets out to investigate a witness
I should complete its job or announce
to the public that it has not com
pleted the investigation. Otherwise,
it betrays its trust and it places the
witness in a false light. It does not
take ful- advantage of his appear
ance bei .re it and at the same
time, it jives to the public the im
pres:ion that his answers were in
adequate.
The House committee on Unam
erican activities, which under the
chairmanship of Martin Dies and
J. P,.rneli Thomas served this coun
try well, in spite of all left-wing
crit.cisms, has proved itself to be
inadequate during the past two
yeai.?, under the chairmanship ol
jonn b. wood.
Take, /or instance, the investiga
tion of Larry Parks. He appeared
before the committee in executive
sessaoa and answered all the ques
tion . that were asked of him. As
far as it went, his testimony was
adequate. He confessed to his own
Communist participation; he
named names where asked to do
so. This is tough doing, when one
works in an industry which is over
anxious to protect the property
value of advertised names, no mat
ter what the owners of those names
have done to damage their country.
Just as Parks’s testimony was
becoming important, a bell rang
calling the members of the House
of Representatives to a roll-call.
Such a routine does not take long
and the committee could have and
should have resumed its hearing.
Instead, Parks was excused and:
the committee never called him I
back to an executive session. ThusJ
his testimony was never completed !
He was never asked essential ques
tions leading to the present situ-i
ation. He was never given an op
portunity to explain positions which
he and his colleagues took subse
quent to 1945 when our alliance
with Soviet Russia terminated.
The injustice is as great to him
as it is to the people of the United
Statee. Those who have read re
ports of the public session of the
committee, at which Parks ap
peared, are naturally of the opinion
that all he tried to do was to square
himself by a pathetic recital of his
background. What they do not
know is that the House committee
on Unamerican activities failed to
get the most information out of a
witness and that when they had a
friendly witness before them who
was willing to testify, they shut
him off because a bell rang.
This committee is coasting along
on the great work done by Martin
Dies, Robert Stripling, j. B. Mat
thews, J. Parnell Thomas, and
Richard Nixon. It is not doing a
comparable service. It is a lazy, in
adequate committee that submits
to pressures by the Department of
justice, which is apparently seek
ing to prevent a second Alger Hiss
case from developing.
A committee of Congress should
be absolutely independent of the
executive branch of government. It
is not expected to recognize the
political necessities or to respect
the chicaneries of those in office.
The story goes that this committee
confers with Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Peyton Ford, or as another
account has it, Ford’s task is to see
that no new Alger Hiss case breaks.
The Department of Justice is de
signed to be a law enforcement, not
a political, agency.
Precisely what happened to the
Tydings committee is that it sub
mitted to executive pressure. That
is why I have said that the McCar
thy charges stand. The Tydings
committee did not investigate them.
When its counsel, Edward Morgan,
came to my house, he told me the
story as it never was permitted to
be told to his committee. And there
was little difference between the
story he told me and that which
Senator Joe McCarthy was shout
ing from the housetops. Someone
reached that committee to kill the
evidence.
I am not convinced that the in
adequate functioning of the House
committee on Unamerican activi
ties is altogether fortuitous. Some
thing queer goes on when a witness
like Larry Parks is shut off by a
bell when he provides evidence
which the committee badly needs
to make its case. It looks as though
someone were waiting for that bell
to ring—and that someone was not
Larry Parks.
This column has been supporting
this committee since it was organ
ized. But if it plays such tricks as
I have described, it must be shown
up for what it is. A committee
which does not do its work properly

PC LEAGUE
GAMES GET
GOODNOW
By Associated Press
On the basis of what has hap
pened so far. it looks like a most
interesting race for the Pacific
Coast league flag. The club owners
only wish the fans would start com
ing out to see the games. The total
attendance at the four games yes
terday and last night was 7.G53. The
intake certainly didn’t match the
outgo — not on the basis of ball
players’ appetites and today's prices.
San Diego and Los Angeles put
on a free-scoring thriller with San
Diego getting a 9-7 decision before
the top crowd of 3,726. The Padres
maintained first place in the stand
ing. Four Los Angeles errors cost
them the ball game.
Hollywood, rained out Tuesday
night, opened its home season last
night with a 6-5 decision over Roger
Hornsby’s Seattle Rainiers. There
were only 1,804 on hand to see Herb
Karpel step in and save the game
with some flossy relief pitching in
the eighth and ninth.
Seals Lose Again
The San Francisco Seals lost an
other on* yesterday. They have
dropped every one of their nine
contests. Portland set them back in
the only day game, 7 to 4. The at
tendance was 685.
Rookie Jim Marshall, 18-year-old
Oakland first baseman, was the big
noise as Oaks downed Sacramen
to, 13 to 6. Marshall smashed a hom
er and a single to drive in six runs.
It was the fourth homer of the
brief season for the youngster, up
from the Western International
league. Manager Joe Gordon of the
Sacs hit two over the left field wal) j
at Sacramento.
The Seals’ loss set a new club
record. When CHoul started as
manager in 1935 the San Francis
cans lost eight in a row, but they
bounced back, took second place in
the first half of the split season,
captured the last half and then won
the playoffs to capture the pen
nant.

SAD FIREMEN MEET
TONIGHT IN THE OLD
HALL FOR LAST TIME
there's sadness in lasts
•The Juneau Volunteer Fire De
pai cment will meet tonight, prob
ably for the last time, in the old
fire hall which has been its home
for nearly 40 years.
During the years the department
has been a tightly-knit, efficient
fraternity that lias responded to the
false alarms as well as the big
flies. The feet is that many have
grown old while on the waiting list
to jc’n the organization which has
taken pride in its activities.
Soon the old City Hall which has
served since 1913 well be razed to
make room for the new Alaska Of
fice building and the firemen still
aren’t sure where they’ll be located.
The talk has been at the subport
but cables to install a new alarm
system have not arrived. But no
matter where the.,' go, Leo, the Lion
mascot, will be taken, they say.
