Rivers Proposes Liberal Enabling A1f as State-
 hood Prep

A long stream of witnesses kept Congressmen composing the House Committee on Territories glued to their seats at the Eiks Hall yester- day afternoon as the public hearing was resumed following the noon re- cess.
 Principal witnesses were: B. Frank Heintzleman, Dr. James Ryan, Dr. c. Earl Albrecht, Ralph J. Rivers, Allan Shattuck and Howard D. Stab Ter. Paul Satko, Eagle River farm CT, concluded the hearing with tes- timony regarding difficulties in se- curing land titles in Alaska.
 Following an introductory state ment by Homer Garvin, Regional Forester Heintzleman outlined Alas ka's principal highway needs, list ing as first in importance the all- year arterial road from Haines to Fairbanks and Anchorage. Such a route, connecting with the sheltered water lanes of the Inside Passage would be the natural entryway to the Interior, he represented, and is of paramount importance. It is more vital to Alaska than the proposed Far West link to the Alaska High way, he said, though both are need ed.
 Attorney General Rivers discussed Alas ka's Organic Act, declaring it outmeded. He proposed that Con- eress vote an enabling act under which Alaska could become State. Such an act, setting forth what economic and land controls would be vested in the future State, together with rebate Of a portion of Federal internal revenues derived from the Territory, for a five-year trial per- iod, would do most to prepare the Territory for statehood, he declared, and would enable Alaska residents to determine tte feasibility of state hood.
 Commissioner of Education Ryan advoc cated a single school system for the Territory, under Territorial con- tTol, with Federal tuition payments for natives
 Health Commissioner Albrecht set forth the Territory's health needs as: Solution to the tuberculosis prob lem, correction of environment con- diticns and adequate medical care.
 MT. Stabler and MT. Shattuck dis cussed statehood and the basis on which Alaska could find it practical. Other witnesses were Veteran Ad- ministrator A. E. Karnes and NFFE President Ava w. Blackerby

Tribe, Browns Regain
Key Players; Bosox
Hold Fast Pace
BY JACK HAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


Draft board calls threaten to
cripple the New York Yankees to-
day as Cleveland and the ST. Louis
Browns regain key men and the
Boston Red Sox begin to act like
pennant contenders.
Center Fielder Johnny Lindell
and Second Baseman George Stirn-
weiss of the leading Yanks are due
to take preinduction physicals to-
day along with Pitcher Bill Zuber
in New York City.
Loss of either Lindel or Stirn-
weiss would throw the American
League race into wide-open
scramble and could make the Yanks
a third or fourth place club.
News that Third Baseman Mark
Christman was to rejoin the cham
pion Browns on a full-time basis
and the signing by Cleveland of
Outlelder jeff Heath served to
boost the chances of both clubs.
Boston is the real surprise of the
month, moving into a virtual three
way tie for third place only 312
games behind New York on the
strength of Pitcher Dave Ferriss.
Ferriss Chalks Up No. 8.
When the Army Air Forces dis
chargee joined the Red SoX, the
club had just won its first game
after losing its first eight starts.
Manager Joe Cronin had broken
his leg at the Yankee Stadium a
few days earlier and the Hub for
tunes were at a low ebb with the
Sox floundering in the basement.
After a double-header triumph
over Philadelphia yesterday in
which Ferriss hung up his eighth
successive victory, Boston finally
was above the 500 mark with a
21-2O record only 2a points behind
the Browns and White Sox, re-
spectively.
Ferriss was not at his best against
the AS, yielding IA hits, but he left
IA runners stranded in coping No.
8 by So margin. The rookie ace
helped his cause with a double and
batted in run. The nightcap was

Overmire won his fourth straight
in trimming Cleveland, 81.
Orval Grove shut the door on the

TIGERS Await Yank Stadium
0. K. Before Making Plans
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June THE Brook
lyn Tigers have no plans for their
1946 move to the Yankee Stadium
and won't have any until they re-
ceive formal notice from the Ma
tional Football League that the
move has been approved. General
Manager Tom Gallery said today.
After last weeks Executive Com
mittee meeting here. Commissioner
Elmer Layden announced that the
New York Giants had waived their
territorial rights and would permit
the Tigers to play home games in
the stadium in 1916 Previously
Brooklyn and the Boston Yanks had
combined forces for the 1945 season
with one game scheduled for the
Yankee ball park.
The notice should be delivered
within two or three days, Gallery
added, explaining that he had dis
cussed the situation informally with
Layden by telephone.

Leonard, in Banking
Loop Leaders, Also
Is Batting Star
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

There's a hitting race on in the
Mats between Pitcher Dutch Leon
ard and Pitcher Marino Pieretti, the
dean of the Mats hurting corps and
the rawest rookie of the bunch. But
Pieretti had better begin swinging
effectively if he is to win his wager
with the elderly righthand knuckle-
baller.
They're all even on wins, for
Leonard chalked up his fifth victory
of the season as he downed the
Yankees of New York last night in
Griffith Stadium, to 0. But in the
process of winning his game, Leon
ard went up to bat for a perfect
evening, getting three singles in
three times at bat as the Mats COL
lected seven safeties in all, and his
three hits got the ball game.
1t was Leonards first win Of the
year over the New York club that
he has faced three times. He took
a beating from it here in April and
had to quit after an inning against
it in New York when drive from
the bat of Herschel Martin hit him
on the wrist and forced his retire
ment
Leonard Blazes Way.
But Leonard came back nobly last
night. He limited the Yanks to four
hits, all singles, to score his third
shutout of the year. He struck out
three and walked two and didn't
permit Yank to get by first base
In addition to his superb pitching
Leonard led the seven-hit Nat at
tack on Bill Zuber, a former Nat,
that clinched the game. He blazed
the way to the first run of the
game in the sixth inning and singled
in the seventh to drive across two
more scores.
Leonard's single in the seventh
drove Zuber out of the box. That
brought on Ken Holcombe to pitch
the remainder of the inning and
Steve Roser to hurl the eighth.
The Yanks' lineup was weak
ened somewhat by the absence of
Johnny Lindell, their long hitting
centerfielder. He had to go to New
York for his draft physical early
this morning. Also Zuber and
Second Baseman Stuffy Stirnweiss
were due to report to their boards
in New York later today.
Maybe the impending examina-
ton bothered Zuber. But it Ger
tainly didn't bother the Mats. They
hoped on Bill in timely manner
before the seventh inning was over
They nicked him for six hits, one
a double by Joe Kuhel, and rammed
in four runs.
Leonard's second single and Joe
Kuhel's two-bagger were mixed in
the sixth inning in the making of
the first tally. Then came the on
slaught in the seventh. An error
by Snuffy Stirnweiss put George
Binks on. Singles by Hills Layne
and Rick Ferrell followed. Binks
scored and after Jake Powell
grounded out Leonard got his third
hit to send in two more markers
The victory took the series from
the Yanks, two games to one, but
it left the Mats on the short end
of their home stand. They dropped
eight games of the Is in Griffith
Stadium, seven to the Western clubs
