PADRES IN
TOP SPOT,
PC LEAGUE
By Associated Press •
One of the pre-season favorites,
the San Diego Padres was all alone
today atop the Pacific Coast league
standing. By taking the first two
games from San Francisco, the Pa
dres dropped the Seals into last
place while the rest of the teams
were breaking even.
The clutch hit. the spine-tingling
blow with runners on base, decided
all last night’s games. Henry Malm
berg’s eighth-inning double gave
San Diego its 3 to 2 decision.
Catcher Mike Sandlock stepped
up to the pl&te in the 11th inning
at Sacramento and socked a double
with the bases loaded that gave
Hollywood a 6 to 2 verdict over the
Solons.
Kevin (Chuck) Connors, giant
Los Angeles first baseman, poiled
a towering homer in the eighth that, i
gave the Angels a 10 to 9 edge over j
Seattle.
Portland and Oakland were idle.
Johnny Lindell, the ex-Yankee
outfielder turned pitcher, had a
shutout for Hollywood going into
the last of the eighth, but he ran
into trouble with his knuckleball
and had to give way to Jack Salve
son. Sacramento tagged Salveson
with the tieing run in the ninth
but in the 11th the Stars put three ;
men on base and set the stage for
Sandlock’s prodigious blow.
Tonight’s probable pitchers: Sar,
Francisco (Ernie Domencchelli) at
San Diego (Roy Welmaker).
Hollywood (Pinky Woods) at Sac
ramento (A1 Benton).
Seattle (Jim Favis) at Los Ang
eles (Vern Fear).
Portland (Bob Drilling) at Oak
land (Earl Harriso).

AMERICAN DRAFT
JAPANESE PEACE
TREATY IS READY
WASHINGTON, March 29 — m—
The State Department is distribut
ing to 15 nations this week a com
pleted American draft of a Jap
anese peace treaty. These nations
are being invited to state their re
action and propose, as soon as pos
sible, any changes they may want.
State Department officials hope
that within about three months an
agreed treaty draft may result from
the formal negotiations now getting
underway.
Some difficulties are foreseen,
however, since Australia and New
Zealand are worried about possible
future Japanese rearming, the Phil
ippines have insisted on reparations
and Britain would like to curtail the
Japanese shipping industry.
Russia is one of the countries re
ceiving a copy of the U. S. treaty
draft but is not expected to accept
it as a basis for negotiation. The
Soviets have strongly indicated thej
do not intend to cooperate with the
other World War II allies on ar
early peace treaty for Japan.

ALASKA SALMON
INSTITUTE
ORGANIZED
What is the Alasha Salmon Institute?
It i" an advisory group of Alaska salmon packers,
organized to present the story of their industry to the
people of the Territory and to do everything in its
power to promote both the industry and the welfare
of Alaska.
Why was it organized?
Because it feels that the Alaska salmon industry has a
good story to tell—a story of a typical American enter
prise—and because it well realizes that through the
dissemination of truthful information there can come
about better understanding.
What will it do?
Through advertisements in Alaska’s daily and weekly
newspapers, it will tell you, frankly and honestly, about
the salmon industry and how it affects you.
It will bring you, every Sunday afternoon over your
favorite radio station, Sam Hayes, noted commentator
who will give you bis slant of national and international
news.
It will publish, mostly for the benefit of newcomers,
a colorful booklet entitled "Welcome to Alaska.” This
booklet will be distributed on planes, steamships, trains,
hotels, etc. You may receive a copy by writing for it or
we will send a copy to your relatives or friends outside.
