WILSON GETS
GREAT TEST IN
GAME TONIGHT
By JIM HCBBART
(Associated Press Sportstvriter)
The basPball banshees, all the
jinxes and gremlins which have
guarded Pacific Coast League
pitching records for 41 years, will
emerge in force tonight to haunt a
28-year-old gent named Jim Wilson.
When righthander Wilson takes
the mound for Seattle in quest of
a record-equaling 16th straight
triumph, he not only must contend
with the bats of the Hollywood
Stars. He must also face the
v.hammy, scourge of all pitchers,
curse of all baseball.
Wilson must shoulder a burden
his teammate, Charley Schanz. j
could not carry last night. Schanz
just back from the American
League, chucked a four hitter, yet
the Hollywood ace. Jack Salveson,
beat him 1 to 0.
Every mind at Gilmore field to
night will have a single thought:
can Big Jim tie the record set by
Frank Browning of San Francisco
in 1909?
Wilson has been winning steadily
. nice May 3. Seven of his wins have
been shutouts.
If last night's content foresha
dowed anything, then Wilson is
shipwrecked before he gets aboard.
Salve-on and Schanz duelled score
lessly until the ninth, when Murray
Franklin's ba.ses-loaded single gave
Hollywood the game. Salveson,
whose record now stands at 13-1.
yielded seven hits. It was his 10th
straight win.
Elsewhere along the circuit, the
proceedings were nearly as spec
tacular. Oakland maintained its
three game lead by lacing Portland
in a 9 to 6 hit orgy and high Her
man Beese cranked Los Angeles to
a 2 to 0 shutout over Sacramento.
Both he and Harry Gumbert pitched j
four hitters.
At San Diego, Jackie Tobin’s:
pinch hit homer with the bases full \
in the 10th inning gave San Fran
cisco an 8 to 4 conquest of the
Padres.

FROM SITKA
(Special Correspondence)
SITKA. Alaska, July 16—The City
Council this week set August loth
is the date for another special
I .'lection to grjnt the Cathedral
! Building Corporation title to a
tiip of city land needed for the
onstruction of its business and
ipaitment building on Cathedral
Square. The wording of the orig
inal ordinance was found to be
inacceptable to the Title Insurance
Company as leaving title to the
property indefinite.
The local sale of fireworks re
ceived considerable discussion which
resulted in rewording of the fire
works ordinance "transportation of
fireworks" being substituted for
'.sale" and the penalty increased
o $100 and 30 days in jail. This
rewording will be submitted to the
voters for approval at the next
October regular election.
Request from !he Clarence Rands
Company to erect a sign on the
ity float was refused: a letter
from Attorney R. E. Robertson was
read, explaining in detail his fee
for services to the city; also a
letter from the ANS office in Ju
neau reporting on progress of HR
7940 which provides for reimburse
ment .to city schools for ANS per
sonnel pupils: and a letter from
Argetsinger of the GSA announcing
that the Sitka Community Hos
pital has been approved and only
awaits funds for construction.
The problem of equalizing prop
. 1 ty assessments was given con
idcrable time and was deferred
until the meeting of Mayors in
Anchorage where some general
overall plan is expected.
The city work crew was author
ized to help the Boy Scouts to
move their club house to a city
owned lot on Seward Street. The
um of S2606.07 in bills was author
ed and council adjourned.
I
Don McGraw Jr. and Tony Sojka
arrived last weekend in a plane
which they bought in Seattle. One
of the projects they have in mind
for their plane is spotting fish for
local seiners. Both McGraw and
Mr. Sojka learned flying under the
GI training bill.
The decision to leave the Leslie
Yaws in Sitka instead of sending
them to Tucson, Arizona, as was
announced some weeks ago, is due
to the storm of protest which the
announcement aroused. Headquar
ters in New York was deluged with
mail from Alaska urging that the
Yaws be left in Alaska.
Miss Gladys Gladfelter, head of
i t he educational department of the
Board of National Missions came to
Sitka to get the matter straight.
Meeting with every group in town
took hours and the sheer weight of
public opinion resulted in persuas
ion. Undoubtedly, the most effect
ive protests came from the Alaska
natives.

'NATIONALIZATION
—
WASHINGTON, July 21 — f —
Coi ressmen agreed generally to
day hat President Truman must be
given new economic powers for the
figi against Communism.
But some—among them Republi
can Senators Taft and Bricker of
Oh: and Wherry of Nebraska—con
tended Mr. Truman’s request for a
full range of allocation, priorities
am) credit curbs must be examined
closely.
Wherry. Republican Senate leader,
said he suspects an administration
effort to "nationalize the economy."!
While hot but perhaps brief de- I
bam appeared in prospect on the
ec i’.omic phases. Congress seemed ;
to be ready to expand military man
power and throw at least $10,000,
00b 000 more into the arms produc-,
tion pot.
The $10,000,000,000 fund request
brought the comment from Sena- I
tor Russell (D-Ga) that "it look-,
like a big war instead of a little
one.”
Hep. Halleek (R-Indi said Con
gre won’t give any "blank check"
authority to the President but will
“do what is necessary to guaran
ty our security and our binding
commitments.”
Senator O'Mahoney i D-Wyoi and
Rep. Morton iR-Ky) both called
for enactment of excess profits
taxes.
Rep. Arends (R-Ill) said he was
happy the President didn't ask for
price controls. It will be up to Con
gum, to determine if and when they
air necessary, he said.
Senator Lyndon jonnson (D-Tex)
said he wished the President had
n Kcd for full mobilization of in
dustry and manpower, adding that
“this is not a piecemeal fight we
are in.”

of training and morale among1
newly mobilized Communist unit-s.

The 15: h was built up around a

Specialists — tank and mortar

The Armed Forces do not favor
suggestions that use of the atomic

It’s generally conceded that a medium-weight, medium- .
speed engine is the one that makes the most money for
a boat-owner these days. Slow, heavy engines take too
much hull to float them, take up too much space in the hold.
At the other extreme are fast, flyweight engines, often over
rated as to horsepower, that have to work too hard at the job
assigned them, with high fuel consumption, frequent repairs
and short engine life as the result. Right in the groove is the
Caterpillar, now made in ten sizes. The largest, the D397 pic
tured above, delivers 400 h.p. continuously at 1200 r.p.m. and
weighs approximately 14,000 lbs. Take a look at Caterpillar’s
record for dependability and low maintenance cost; add the
fact that dockside Caterpillar service is available at Juneau,
Ketchikan or Seattle, and you can see why Caterpillar power
is the leader in the North Pacific, as it is in the harbors, fishing
grounds and waterways of the entire continent!
