EDITORIAL
STATEHOOD FOR ALASKA

(The Salem, Indiana, Republic an-Leader)
 "Commenting on the two-to- one vote in favor of statehood (says the Indianapolis Star, -dlt- orially) Congressional Delegate Anthony J. Dimond of Alaska states his Territory is as much entitled to statehood and will beat Hawaii and Puerto Rico to become the 49th state.
 MT. Dimond could add that the vote in Alaska would probably be 100 percent in favor of join ing the sisterhood. He might also add that Alaskans in general have a better understanding of our American theories of govern ment than have the residents of any other territory"
 From personal observation of the sditor it would seem there is no argument as to which terri tory should be chosen the 49th state. The Alaskans are intelli- gent, aggressive, self-reliant and have a fine conception of govern ment.
 Their intelligent conception of self-government if given the op- portunity is practical evidence of their ability to take care of their own affairs when the time comes.
 The small population of white Americans (less than 35,000) se-ms to preclude any immediate bid for statehood but more local government by these good Ameri cans cho understand we'll their Territorial problems is not only desirable but peremtory if they are to prosper and expand.
 w, who spent a fortnight in the peninsula and along the in- land passage met their leaders and the people themselves will all agree they are high type of American citizens who will work out their destiny and do a good job of it unless governmental in reference strangles them.

thing that will happe in Con- gnssS until the votes are in (the
 majority leaders in both houses were so wrong about adjourn ment, for instance). But this is he way they look at the state hood for Hawaii situation:
 {There should be here the brief precede that the Islands in their recent election voted 68 percent in favor of pushing state hood. As soon as the Hawaiian legislature meets and memorial izes Congress to that effect joint resolution will be intro duced no houbt which if passed would clear the way for the 18th State)
 The military powers that be may not favor statehood at this time. They figure it's easier to handle a territorial government under even limited emergency conditions that a state. And if anyone doubts the importance of Hawaii in Pacific naval affairs let him get out his encyclopedia and read up on Pearl Harbor. When peace is in the world and we're scrapping ships instead of building them what the Army and Navy people want doesn't amount to so much. But in times like these what they want makes big noise under the Capitol dome and all the congr2ssmen hear and lot of them agree.

STATEHOOD FOR HAWAII
 MAY HAVE TO WATT NOW; THERE'S MUCH OPPOSITION
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON - As sure as shooting steps are going to be taken in the 77th Congress to brinq into the union a 49th state. In c5se you haven't heard it's Hawaii.
 Tn flag peep e already have it figured out. The present 6-8 , pattern of stars on a field of blue .an be rearranged to a TT spacing of the stars without changing the field or making the star pattern look like a crowd ed section of the Milky Way.
 Bu, the flag peopl~ have been prepared for any contingency fo, 3 good long time and pro- bably are two hops and a skip ahca5 of Congress. l doubt if there $ a congressman who isn't ful y awar that this organized incorporated territory and integ- raj part of the United States, as HaWaiianS are fond of calling it isn't about as important as any offshore chunks of terrain that ever fell into the lap of Uncle Sam. If there is any doubt let one stare for a couple of hours at the islands production figure on sugar and pineapple (to mention only a couple) or their consumption figure or mainland tourist (to mention only on).
 Nevertheless this measure to make Hawaii the 49th state is going to meet plenty of opposi- tion-or if not "opposition' ex- actly then lethargy and indiffer- ence. This isn't my conclusion. It comes from score or mor- of Reresentatives and Senators, some of whom, to say the least are supposed to have their fin gers on the congressional pulse.

MIXTURE OF RACES

There is also the problem of racial makeup of the Hawaiian population. According to the Territorial Board of Health esti- mates for 194O the population was made up of 156,8449 Japan csc; 65,29l HaWaiians or part Hawaiians; l15,836 Caucasians; 52, 148 Filipinos; 28,809 Chinese; 6,761 Koreans; and 960 of other nationalities. Of the Caucasians nearly 31,O00 were Portuguese; 7,700 Puerto Rican; and l,200 Spanish.
 The military forces just list them, point to the 36 percent to tai of Japanese, raise their eye brows. Out in the Islands of course there is an entirely differ ent picture. Nearly 82 percent are citizens of the United States. Immigration of male Japanese was prohibited after 1908 and there has been no immigration of Japanese - male or female - since 1924. Thus of the 36,66l Japaness aliens still in Hawaii there would be only very very small number of males who could possibly be of the danger GUS age" from a military stand point even if all of them were sympathetic to Japan which many observers insist they are not.

TREASON LAW FOR STRIKES

WASHINGTON, Dec. - House members seeking ways of pre- venting strikes in defens9 indus tries said Congress as a last re- sort might be asked to make any ,stoppage of preparedness produc- ton punishable as for treason.
 Representative Hobbs, mem b=r of the House Judiciary Sub Committee, empowered to study the entire situation said such a drastic step might be found nec- essary.
 However Hobbs expressed hope that some less seW.re de- terrent will suffice in place of treason legislation and place la bor and industry in cooperation.

DETROIT, July 25.-This is the
amazing yarn of fellow of whom
you've probably never heard. Cur
rently he is catcher for Toronto,
but he was ticketed to be one OF
baseballs greats. His name is
Frankie Reiber and he altered the
course of baseball history. Here
was a player tabued unqualifiedly by
brilliant baseball men as a sparkling
prospect, a youngster who could
murder the ball, throw like he was
firing a 16-inch gun and who was
blessed with an ability to think. His
failure to make the grade is one
of the weirdiest chapters in diamond
annals.
In 1888 Detroit headed home from
spring training camp with School,
boy Rowe and Reiber stamped as
rookie sensations. Together they
had been the backbone of a Beau
mont club, which had won the
Texas League pennant under Del
Baker, now Detroit manager, in
1892. They couldn't miss, said base
ball moguls, and Rowe and Reiber
seemingly justified their claims with
repeatedly spectacular performS
ances.
Three days before the Tigers re-
turned home to launch the Amer
ican League season against st.
Louis, Reiber had been a positive
sensation in exhibition games with
the Giants. George Uhle and Fred
Marberry, veteran hurlers then with
the Tigers, said I'VE don't want
anybody but Reiber to catch us.
He's the greatest catcher we've ever
seen."
On opening day Reiber went be-
hind the plate for the Tigers, who
collected 40 lead in the first
inning. In the second inning the
Browns stole four bases of Reiber.
Frankie, with one of the strongest
and most accurate throwing arms
ever visioned by astute judges of
baseball flesh, was hking four or
five steps out toward the pitcher
after each pitch, then lobbing the
ball over the pitchers head into
center field.
Cobb's Criticism Too Much.
After the third inning Reiber re-
turned to the 4ger's bench crying
bitterly. Manag1r Bucky Harris,
then plotting Detroit, humanely
yanked Reiber from behind the bat
and inserted Ray Hayworth. Reiber
never regained his poise after that
occasion.
1t all dates back many years ago,
back to the days when Ty Cobb was
managing the Tigers and Reiber
was his bat boy. One day Cobb,
stirred to frothy indignation over
some minor incident in which
frankie was involved, chased Reiber
from the ball park, shouting Get

out Of here, you dirty little so and
so, you'll never be ball player"
Reiber never forgot that. BE be-
came obsessed with the idea OF be-
coming. not only ball player. but
a great one. He was headed in
that direction, so much so that Wish
Egan, a silver-haired gentleman
who scouts for the Tigers, says He
was one of the fipest prospects I've
ever seen and rye seen virtually
all Of them since 1902"
Frankie came out OF Beaumont
branded a baseball jewel. In train
ing camp and in exhibition games
as the club headed home he shone.
He was the sparkplu4 of the club
with every pitcher on the team
eager to have him catch them-a
lofty Endorsement of his prowess.
Baffled Psychoanalyst.
But, as we were saying, Reiber
collapsed when he returned to De-
troit. He couldn't throw the ball
back to the pitcher, an ordinary
achievement for any 10-year-old.
He would walk out several steps to-
ward the pitching box and then
throw the ball into the dirt or
over the pitchers head.
1t sounds fantastic, but Reiber
remembered Cobb's stinging criti-
cism and couldn't overcome it. He
had developed a complex and, de-
spiA the aid of an expensive woman
psychoanalyst, he never overcame
it. Potentially one of the games
great. he collapsed completely.
Detroit kept strings on him for
thfee years after that, in the fond
hope he would shed the complex,
but he never did.
His failure may have been respon-
sible for Detroit capturing pennants
in 1894 and 1885. If Reiber had
clicked, as it seemed certain he
would, Detroit never would have
been forced to purchase Mickey
Cochrane, the catcher-manager Of
those pennant-winning clubs.
Reiber of Toronto now is only
. major league memory to the few
who knew him, but, take it from
Egan and Harris, he might have
been one Of the games immortals.

Rout Of Dodgers
Has Cincinnati
Far in Front
Tigers, Tribe Keep Up
Hot Duel in Junior
Loops Swot Orgy
BY JUDSON BAILEY,


The Cincinnati Reds look better
day by day and twice as good by
night.
As they thrashed the Brooklyn
Dodgers, 6-3, last night for Bucky
Walters 18th victory this season,
fans sat back and told their neigh
bors they were looking at the next
world champions.
That was how smoothly the Red
legs disposed of the next best team
in the National League.
They never made fielding error
during the entire three-game series,
which they swept with comparative
ease to initiate their first place
margin to eight full games.
The Reds now have taken seven
of their last eight games against
the Dodgers. have won II of the last
10 against all comers and their last
six In a row.
Walters at Peak.
Walters was at the peak of his
form in the night game that drew
10000 paying patrons to Ebbets
Field, but he never had to bear
down.
His teammates scored one run in
the first inning and four more in
the second, when they drove Tex
Carleton of the mound with triple
and four singles. Walters himself
made two of the Reds II hits. He
mufhed the Dodgers on five safeties
until the ninth inning, when single
by Joe Medwick and a home run
by Dolph Camilli saved Brooklyn
from a complete rout.
In the only other National League
game the Boston Bees beat the Chi
cago Cubs, 4-3, with Carvell Row.
ellis triple knocking in the deciding
run.
While the Reds have been settling
the pennant dispute in the National
League to all intents and purposes,
the American League field has mar.
rowed practically to two teams
Detroit and Cleveland.
American League Goes Wild.
Both won yesterday as the junior
circuit came up with one of the
widest days in its history.
The Tigers kept half q game in
front with Us decision over WASH
ington. while the Indians squeezed
past the Philadelphia Athletics, rs,
with Roy Weatherly's two-run
homer providing the principal i'm
petus and Lefty AL Smith getting
credit for his 10th victory, although
he lasted only until the sixth.
The rampaging Chicago White
Sox rolled up 20 hits in beating the
Boston Red Sox. 1910. for their
sixth successive triumph. Chicago
scored six runs in the first inning
and internationally thereafter, but
Boston punched five runs in the
sixth. There were six home runs.
Browns Blast Yankees.
The worst debacle of all, however,
was at st. Louis, where the Browns
ripped open the world champion
New York Yankees, 1912, after the
Yanks had tailed six runs in the
first frame. The Yanks got four
homers, including one by Bill Dickey
with the bases loaded and another
by Joe Di Maggie that extended his
hitting streak to II games.
But the Browns kept digging away
for II hits off six New York pitchers,
took a 12-10 lead in the seventh and
after the Yanks tied the score in the
ninth, Walter Judnich hit a homer
with one on in the last half of the
inning to win.
Altogether, the four games in the
American League brought into ac-
tion 80 pitchers, who gave up Ill
hits and 73 runs.
