PIONEER PRIEST HAS F0RTIETh
 ANNIvER5ARY

The fortieth anniversary of Dean c. E. Rice's ordination to the priesthood was observed this morn ing by Holy Communon service in Holy Trinity Cathedral.
 His first assignment after his ordination was Alaska and it was only a few days later that he left Seattle on his way to Alaska.
 The young priest had never seen mountains before, or the sea and the trip to Alaska back in 1902 was the beginning of a great adventure. The journey to Inter- for Alaska on his way to Circle on the Yukon took him more than a month. Delayed in Dawson, he ran out of money. Meals at $100 each had not been provided for in his expense account.
 His first job after his arrival in Circle was to put floor in the church and hospital there and today-forty years later-when 2 reporter called at Trinity Cathedral he was preparing to finish floor recently put in the basement of the church. He has been car- penter ever since he came to Alas ka, he said.

CHANDI MAY LEAD REVOLT
 OF INDIANS
Deadlock Inevitable in Me- gofidfions Over
 Independence
(By Associated Press)

A deadlock in the crisis arising out of India's demand for immed- fate independence from Great Bri- tain appeared inevitable today.
 There was conjecture, however, that President Roosevelt might ad- dress an eleventh hour appeal for India not to complicate the task of those who are figthing for the preservation of human freedom"
 The above quotation is from Sec retary of State Hull's recent broad cast in which Hull, without men tioning India by name, emphasized that American sympathy is with the freedom seeking peoples and re- served for those who "by their acts show themselves to be worthy of it."
 Barring a late minute compromise, the All-India Congress will be in session tomorrow and is expected to authorize Ghandi to, lead India's 390, ,O00, 900 people in a mass strug- gle on non-violent lines on the wid- est possible scale" against British rule. M
 In Bombay, an All-India Congress working committee declared that it is hopeless to appeal to Britain again.

NEW YORKER ASKS DELAY
 IN TAX BILL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. = w. J. Schieffelin, Jr., New York City, testified today that if approaching elections made it impossible to vote on the retail sales tax question now, the Senate Finance Committee ought to stand up and tell the country so.'
 He appeared before the committee for the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York. Schieffelin said that his organization believed it might be to the country's benefit to. have no tax bill at all until after the election, rather than a bill to go into effect while Septem- Der or October are dominated by elections and politics"
 He said House Ways and Means Committee member he did not name had predicted that the House would accept the sales tax if it is included in the rewritten revenue bill by the Senate committee, although many representative would prefer not to vote on the issue at this time.

Mysterious Witness Gives Important Testimony
 -Hos Formula

WASHINGTON, Aug. GA mys- terious MT. Murray today told the Senate Military Subcommittee of formula for making concrete subs, and the formula is so secret he said he did not want the of ficial stenographers to take down what he said.
 Later Chairman Lee waited 45 minutes for the man to appear at public hearing.
 The inventor, chemist or what ever he was, asked for an execu- tive session and declined to iden- tffy himself within the hearing of reporters.
 He told Chairman Lee he would prefer that the stenographers not fecord his remarks and at his re- quest a closed hearing was granted and Murray gave his testimony.
 After the hearing, Lee told the newsmen he was convinced con- crete could be used to manufacture cargo carrying subs.

In March 1903, the young priest went over the trail through bliz- gard weather to Fairbanks, follow ing the stampede there and he conducted the first church service in the new town in one of it's three buildings-a saloon.
 Most of the last forty years have been spent in Alaska. He left in 1906 and was married at NashGtah Seminary near Milwaukee to Mrs. Rice. He brought his bride north on their honeymoon and they lived at Circle for several years.
 After eight years in Interior Ali aska, Dean Rice was transferred to Seward then to the States. In January 1921 he returned north, this time to Juneau and the Holy Trinity Cathedral where he hos been since that time.

 SPEECH HERE
 TO CONGRESS
Receives f73- foot Sub- chaser from President
 During Capital Visit

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-wilhel nina of the Netherlands, first Queen in her own right to visit the United States, told Congress today that No Surrender remains the motto of her people, suffering though they are under the alien rule of the invaders of Asia and Europe.
 The monarch, who is now con- ducting her Government in Exile from a quiet, rented estate at Lee, Mass, addressed joint session of the House and Senate.
 She said: Imagine what it means to a liberty loving country to be under bondage; to proud country to be subject to harsh, alien rule. What would be the American answer if the invader tried to cover his wholesale, sys- telnatic pillage with firing squad, concentration camp, or the abom- ination of hostage practice?"
 After her visit to the Capitol, the Queen drove to the, Washing ton Navy Yard, where she received from the President new, 173-foot steel subchaser named Queen Will helmina. Transferring the ship under the Lend-Lease Law, the President said, the Dutch people once more are fighting for inde- pendence, "once more may they win it and maintain it."

 Two Thirds of Goal
 With a three-year major league average of .356, Williams boosted his total home run output to 91 last season with 37 round -trippers. high for both leagues, and drove in l20 runs-only five fewer than the leading total batted across by the New York Yankees Joe DiMaggio. Failure to win the runs ns-batted- in title cost him the coveted triple crown, however. But at mid-season this year, Williams was far in front in driving teammates across the plate, also in home runs. Only his batting average, still a sight for sore eyes, was off the l941 pace. | His slow start, he explained, probably was attributed to not enough hitting practice at spring training, though I'm not sure that | a lot of bases on balls-limiting my chances to hit-wasn't the real cause" And he added, grinning You see, got more walks than anyone else last year d45), but most of them didn't come until after the all-star game.

BATTING TRIPLE"
 HIS GOAL
Ted Williams, Bosfon Slug ger, Is Trying for
 B. B. Crown
BY BOB BRoEG

BOSTON - Thumpin' Ted Will Hams, who hits to live and lives to hit, thinks this year he'll win the American league triple batting crown he so narrowly missed last season-and maybe hit over 400 again.
 No American leaguer has won the triple crowded the league in hit ting, home runs and runs batted in-since Lou Gehrig accomplished the feat in 1884.
 Williams, slim slugger of the Bos- ton Red Sox, bashfully admitted he might seem "cocky' but he insisted:
 Honestly, though, I think I'll lead the league in hitting, in home runs and in runs batted in. That's my biggest goal-next to pennant for the Red Sox-and I think I can do it.
 You know, I feel that I ought to get a hit every time go to bat, and while that probably sounds silly, that's the kind of confidence I like to have. If I hit like blazes from now to the end of the season, maybe I can hit over 400 again. Harry Heilmann thinks so."
 Exercises Every Morning
 Williams, who posted gaudy .4O6 batting mark last season, loves to talk about hitting particularly with Harry Heilmann, former De- troit slugger, and now radio sportscaster there. Heilmanns .403 in 1923 was the American leagues last .400- or better average until the curley- haired, 23-year-old Williams turned the trick last year.
 "Heilmann insists that I've got to believe in myself, that if I don't, no one else will" Ted said. But I not only believe in myself, try to do something about it. That's why I try to hit as often as can, why I've always got a bat in my hands. That, too, is why I take cal isthenics in the morning to strengthen my hands, wrists, arms and shoulders"
 Almost skinny, with ITO pounds on his six-foot three and one-half inch frame, the left-handed power house nevertheless possesses the strong arms and sinewy wrists-plus better-than-perfect eyesight = that
