Davis Cup Wrapped
Up by Australians
By GAYLE TALBOT
SYDNEY, Australia, Dec. 27—uP—
Australia virtually wrapped up the
Davis Cup Thursday when its great
doubles team of Frank Sedgman
and Ken McGregor slaughtered Am
erica’s best pair of Ted Schroeder
and Tony Trabert, 6-2. 9-7, 6-3.
The American debacle was a sad
disappointment to the capacity
crowd of 15.300 at White City Stad
ium. They had anticipated a hard
fought tennis match.
The Australians now lead, 2 to 1,
in the best-of-five matches. The
final two singles matches will b<?
played Friday.
Schroeder, possibly weary from
his fine stand against Sedgman
Wednesday, failed his youthful part
ner completely. Toward the last of
ih<* one-sided tilt Schroeder was a
*.ietic figure.

Matthews Share
Honors in Ring
NEW YORK. Dec. 27—VP1—Middle
weight champion Ray Robinson and
light heavyweight contender Harry
i Kid i Mathews share the honors in j
Ring Magazine’s awards for the
year.
Editor Nat Fleischer nnmed Rob- I
inson "Fighter of the Year,” and
selected Matthews as the best all
around fighter of the year. The
awards and Ring's annual ratings
were announced in a copyrighted
article in the February issue of the
boxing monthly.
It was the second time In three
years that Sugar Ray has been
chosen for fighter of the year lau
rels. Fleischer awards it to the
boxer who combines boxing profi
ciency with sportsmanship and con
tributes to the uplift of the sport.
Matthews was selected by Flei
scher for "his cleverness, hitting
power, ring generalship and tri
umphs over all opponents regard
less of weight."
Fleischer backed up his choice
of Matthews by designating him as
the No. 1 challenger for light heavy
weight Joe Maxim. Archie Moore,
for years the No. 1 contender, was
moved back to No. 2 spot just ahead
6f Harold Johnson. Johnson recently
outpointed Moore in a return bout.

For East-West
Game Not Easy
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27——
Shrine football coaches talked prob
able lineups as the east and west
squads breezed into their last work
outs foi Saturday’s charity game.
The East came up with tentative
offensive and defensive teams. But
the West mentioned only an of
fensive unit.
Both were freely sprinkled with
“or"—it’s that tough for the coach
es.
Coach Jess Neely of Rice named
Frank Gifford of USC to one half
back spot and Glenn Lippman of
Texas A and M to the other.
It’s between Ed Brown of San
Francisco and ace passer Don Klos
terman of Loyola of Los Angeles
at quarterback.
It’s between Ollie Matson of USF
and Hugh Mcllhenny of Washing
ton for fullback.
That's the West’s beef, but fast
beef, that will face a lighter and
possibly slicker East backfield.
Coach Tuss McLaughry maybe-d
these for the East:
Dick Kazmaier of Princeton or
John Petibon of Notre Dame for
one halfback position.
Vic Janwici* of Ohio State or
Jim Hammond of Wisconsin full
back.
QB—A1 Dorow, Michigan State or
Bill Putich .Michigan.
HB—Dick Pivorotto, Princeton or
Charles Curtis, Dartmouth or Dick
Alban, Northwestern.
Both teams eased off in work
outs as they approached game time.

Beulah, 328 Pounds
Of 'Rockin' Rhythm'
At Country Club
Sh told an Empire reporter,
‘Honey, just say I’m 328 pounds
of rockin’ rhythm—yessir, Harlem’s
hottest.’’ i
That was the original Beulah
talking when Tom George of the
Country Club brought her in for
an introduction. Beulah (Bryant),
who appeared last night at the
Country Club after arriving in Ju
neau yesterday, may have been
shaving a few pounds from»her
familiar figure in the telling, but
she says her surplus of pounds has
been nothing but an asset to her
in the 17 years she has been in
show business.
She has appeared in movies,
radio, television and stage. She says
she does song, dance, comedy—
and has been known to do drama.
She’s not bashful at telling she has
been on many of the top radio and
TV shows. In the movies she ap
peared in ’’Gone With the Wind,
•Can You Top This,” and others.
She was the original Beulah in
radio. She has appeared in radio
and TV with Arthur Godfrey and
Milton Berle, with the King Cole
Trio and in the Kraft Theater and
Armstrong Theater TV shows in
Radio City. Beulah says she now
and then makes records for MGM.
Just before she left New York)
she appeared with Fifi Dorsey at
Atlantic Beach. She came to Ju
neau from a 4-months’ stay in
Juarez, Mexico.
Beulah says she'll do four shows
nightly at the Country Club during
an indefinite stay.
“Man, come on out an' we'll
make that place jump,” Beulah in
vited.

Statehood for- Alaska was little
mentioned during the recent con
clave of First Division Democrats at
Sitka. There wasn’t, of course, much
reason for hammering away at the
subject since it already forms the
third plank of the party’s Territor
ial platform as adopted in 1948.
What the Southeast Alaska Demo
crats did do was to pitch a curve in
the direction of the present state
hood hill and right at some of the
supporters of that bill.
Maybe they didn't intend to put
such a hook on the thing, but it look
ed to me like a curve, low and inside,
and I think some of the people who
have been going to bat for Alaska
statehood are going to see it that
way.
The convention unanimously ad
opted a resolution calling for forest
lands within present National For-'
ests in Alaska to be turned over to
the State of Alaska.
In other words, they asked that
National Forests be abolished in Al
aska when Alaska becomes a state.
It Isn’t Likely that Senator Clin
ton P. Anderson of New Mexico is
going to be enthusiastic about that
resolution. Senator Anderson is a
Democrat. He has made a number
of solid base hits for statehood and
is one of the members of the In
terior and Insular Affairs commit
tee who favorably reported the
statehood bill on May 8, 1951.
From June 30. 1945, until May 10,
1948, Senator Anderson was Secre
tary of Agriculture and so had juris
diction over National Forests.
Said Senator Anderson during the
statehood hearings in 1950: “I am
going to take an awfully long time
before I vote to break up a national
forest. I would hate to see three ad
ministrations having control of the
Tongass National Forest, the De
part of the Interior, the Department
of Agriculture, and the State of Al
aska.”
Unanimous Adoption of the re
solution on forest lands was espec
ially surprising because a number of
the delegates to the Democratic con
vention were members of unions af
filiated with the Congress of Indus

trial Organizations or have been as
sociated in one way or another with
the CIO.
And the CIO has emphatically
supported the extension, rather than
the reduction, of National Forests
throughout the country. ,
This was made clear in the state
hood hearing testimony of Anthony
| W. Smith, a staff lawyer for the na
tional CIO committee on Regional
Development and Conservation.
Mr. Smith told the Interior and,
Insular Affairs committee. “We
think that it is imperative that the
areas now in national forests in Al
aska be retained in national forests.
| It is in the interest of the people
j of Alaska and the people of the
: country as a whole that the national
forests be retained as they are now.
“As a matter of fact," Mr. Smith
went on, “it has been our position
' that Federal timberland should re
| main under Federal ownership. We
have opposed in general the turning
over of any Federal timberland to
the states because it has been our
experience that the pressures on
State legislatures are so great that
they are not resisted.”
Mr. Smith, speaking for the CIO,
endorsed the Alaska statehood bill,
so long as the National Forests are
, protected.
1 Maybe the Panhandle Democrats
, are not trying to alienate the vote
of Senator Anderson and the sup
port of the CIO for statehood, but
if they are not they are going
about it in an unusual manner.
When a number of witnesses at
various statehood hearings assert
ed that the bills did not grant Al
aska enough of the lands and re
sources they were loudly belabored
from the statehood camp and accus
ed of trying to kill the bill with
kindness. The shoe seems to fit
l this resolution.
' When The Resolution was intro
I duced. Mr. W. C. Stump of Ketchi
| kan, a delegate to the convention
and a member of the Alaska Devel
opment Board, remarked that no
criticism of the Forest Service was
intended.
But, said Mr. Stump, only by get
ting the forests under the control of
the new State of Alaska can the
people of Alaska benefit from them.
That statement seems open to
question. The statehood bills now
before Congress provide that Alaska
shall receive 37% percent of the
revenues derived from the National
Forests in Alaska.
Forty-four of the 43 states have
National Forests. Some of them have
greater areas in National Forests
than does Alaska, and most of them
receive only 25 percent of the reven
ues from those forests.
It Appears Certain that if the for
est resolution was not actually ord
ered up by Governor Gruening, it
was concocted by those close enough
to him that it amounts to the same
thing.
Dr. Gruening has been taking pot
shots at the Forest Service for
some time and when he has not
actually pulled the trigger himself
he has persuaded a- couple of his
captive newspapers to do it for him.
Partly this shooting seems to be
personal ire. It may also be one of
the battles in the internecine war-,
fare that has long been carried on
between the Interior and Agricul
ture Departments.
Now that the governor has drawn
the Democratic Party, or at least a
portion of it, into the fray, there
is no telling where it will end.
One thing is quite clear. The re
solution adopted at Sitka repre
sents a complete reversal of Demo
cratic administration policy regard
ing National Forests.
In the past 18 years, this adminis
tration has added some seventeen
million acres to the National Forests
of the nation and, so far as the re
cords show, has not subtracted any
sizeable acreage from those forests.

Stanford Expected
To Win, Rose Bowl
By Bob Myers
PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 27—(AT—
Stanford’s football coach, young
Charles A. (Chuck) Taylor, isn’t
junking his philosophy of winning
games.
Thirty-one-year-old Taylor, who
confounded the nation’s coaches by
actually predicting victory week by
week for his Indians, feels much
the same way about Stanford's
encounter with Illinois in the Rose
Bowl.
Taylor, speaking before the Foot
ball Writers Association of south- j
ern California, didn’t make a flat I
prophecy of triumph. But he put j
it this way Wednesday:
“We’ve never gone into a game I
believing we couldn’t win. We al-!
ways believe we can win. That j
same philosophy applies for this
game.”
