The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-10-08

A digest of the report alone took up eight solid columns of news paper print. And there are few paragraphs in it that aren't backed by reams of details from experts, scientists, engineers and factual government reporting agencies.
 Imagine the pages that had to be read, facts reviewed, and ex- perts heard to cut through all the blubber about Buna-S, neoprene, and Thiokol. Yet the committee did it and laid their digest on the line in five weeks (which, as one member put it, was still six months late).
 The clerks. stenographers. etc, have followed the three commit tee members in deSerting the La Sale Building. The files of the committee and Sam Lubell, secre- tary to the committee, are still there.
 The work of acting on the com mittee report is just getting under way. Those files may be vital in working out the laws and eXecu- tive orders which will save us from a catastrophe rubber short age Somebody who knows them has to be on hand to see that the right ones fall into the hands of the right people.

Shreve Hoping to Pare
Field to Quarters in
Opening Session

With some Of the country's best
badminton players dominating the
field, the 5th annual Atlantic Coast
championships will get under way
tonight at Kensington's National
Guard Armory.
Although fairly large fields are
expected in all events-men's and
women'S singles and doubles and
mixed doubles-it is Promoter Bill
Shreve's objective to pare the tour
nament down to quarter final pro-
portions in the first session.
II he is successful, quarter final
matches would be played tomorrow
afternoon, starting at 2 o'clock and
semifinal matches tomorrow night.
Finals for all five titles are sched-
uled Sunday afternoon.
Two Outstanding Stars Play.
Carl Loveday of New Jersey and
Mary Hagan of Pennsylvania are
the visiting stars to beat for the
singles championships. Loveday,
second-ranking racketer of the
country and runner-up in the tour
nament here last year, was beaten
only in the finals of the 194l ma
tionals, while Miss Hagan will be
the defending champion in the
womens competition.
However many are expecting IA
year-old Shirley Fry of Akron. Ohio,
to have much to say about the main
women's prize, for this little lass
won three championships last win
ter, despite the fact she has been
playing the game less that two
seasons. She Is the Ohio State
champion, although not old enough
to be eligible for the national
women's tournament.
Some Other Big Shots.
Harry Hackett, the 9th ranking
United States player; Stig Larsen,
New York's No. l badmintoner:
Endsley Fairman. former Delaware
champion, and Gould Morrison of
Baltimore. Maryland holder,
are among the more prominent
male threats. Joel Baker of Wash
ington is the only local player af-
forded much of a chance.
In addition to Misses Hagan and
Fry, the women's field will include
Mary Whittemore, former national
champion; Gilmore Behr, Mary
lands top player, and Patsy Dono-
van, champion of Ohio. Pennsyl-
