SIX MONTHS REQUIRED
 FOR EVICTION, SAYS OPA

It will require up to six months to secure owner occupancy of any house purchased since November, l942, and currently rented, unless the owner in question is an ex- serviceman, the Alaska Rent Office advised again today.
 This new six month eviction mo- tice clause has been put into effect in an attempt to stabilize rental market so drastically affected by the increasing shortage of housing Previous eviction notice-time has been found inadequate to allow renters to locate substitute living quarters to meet their needs or budget. Only in the case of an ex- service owner who wishes to take ever his property for his own family occupancy will the six month waiting period be waived, OPA said

Baseball's Greatest Team

The Sporting News, baseball's s Bible, has answered basebalrs rid dle of the Sphinx: (Which was the greatest team of them all?" The News boiled 40 members of the Baseball Writers Association and this is the answer they gave:
 The New York Yankees of 1927.
 This team the storied Murder CTS Row, boiled II votes of the 40 cast against 15 for the Chicago Black Sox of 1919, 2nd choice for the all-time dream team. In 3rd place was the Yankee team of 1928, practically the same ball club as the '27 champions, and 4th came Connie Mack's powerladen Attn letics of 1929. Top NIL entry was the Boston Braves Miracle Team" of 1913, last on July 4, first on Oct. 1 and 4-straight winner over Philadelphia in the World Series.
 The 1927 Yankees finished a city block in front of the pack in the regular American League race, then won 4 straight rom Pitts burgh in the World Series. Babe Ruth was the biggest murderer in Murderers' Row, bashing his rec ord 60 homers and batting .356. Lou Gehrig hit .375. Earl Combs, Tony Lazerri and Bob Meusel all topped 300 and men clubbed in more than 100 runs each. Waite Hoyt won 22 games; Wiley Moore, 19; Herb Pennock, 19; Urban Shocker, IS. That club was one for the ages.

The Dynamic Demons and the Roaring Ramblers each swept their matches during the week to con- tinue the first place tie existing be- tween the two teams. The Demons demolished the Gremlins complete ly with a pinfall total of 1855 against their opponents 1279. The Ramblers ran rough-shod over the Jolters in their series and had a GA bulge in their total pinfall.
 The Pirates bowled over the Washers by a 3-1 score in the eve ning's closest engagement. In the middle string only three pins sep arated the contestants. The final tally showed the Corsairs out in front by fifteen pins.
 The first half champion Growlers sank deeper into the cellar when they dropped a 3-1 decision to the Cubs. The winners had a nineteen pin advantage at the close of hos

Officers Defeat EM In Hoop Pl'lay-O|ff

Averaging their ignominious de- feat in the softball series last fall, the Officers finally won a contest from the EM when the Base Head quarters five trimmed F Squad ron, 56-49. The Hqs. team had previously walked away with the championship of the Officers League while the F-ers had come out on top in the EM tourney.
 Led by Dewey Johnson, J. Novel; To and Harmon Burns, the commis- stoned men started out as if to snow the EM, but "Red" Kresge and Rose soon found the iron ring with the pumpkin and kept the game going along on even terms.
 The "brass" led at half time by a 28-23 count and the EM actually outplayed the Officers in the final half.
 Johnson and Novello each had IA markers for the winners while Red" Kresge snapped IT points through the cords for the losers. And so we write another thirty point line under what was prob ably the most successful of all basketball seasons at Bradley Field.

Another popular fallacy concerning the Japs is that they are stolid and phlegmatic. The truth is that the Japs are very emotional, trained in repres- sion all their lives. When they get into tight spots, they are much more likely to ''blow up" than are other persons.

was in trying to sell "Subscrip-

he had put this over, and he
would have been hailed as a

Mr.. Benton is so good as a

was when he pulled out of the

partner in this business, Mr..
Chester Bowles, is the same
Chester Bowles who has had to

more. He's good, too.
Mr.. Benton says he has severed
all his past and private business
connections and from now on,
till he gets fired or gives up, he
will be strictly in the diplomacy

IN WASHINGTON .

WASHINGTON-Every time
q newly-appointed public official
comes to Washington, the quaint
old capital custom is to stand the
poor character up at press con-
ference and let the boys and
girls look him over.
It's an ordeal only slightly
less trying than the death march
on Bataan. The poor victim is
propped up like a duck on
rock and trick questions are
heaved at him. To keep him
from being too badly bruised, he
usually is surrounded by expert
enced hands in his department.

Mr.. William Benton of Chica-

"a hours after he was sworn in
as Assistant Secretary of State.
He turned out to be a medium
sized gent with a nice voice and
a nice smile and slight need of
a haircut, unless he likes it that
way.
The sour apple job wished on
Mr.. Benton is Public Affairs.
This doesn't mean he's TO be in
charge of public ceremonies. 1t
means public relations, only to
say it right out that way in the
State Department would never
do. He also is to be responsible
for supervision of the Office of
International Information and
Cultural Affairs which hiccoughs
into OLGA, and the Interim In
ternational Information Office
which suffers into ITO. What
this all amounts to is that Mr..
Benton's lot from here on in is TO
sell the State Department at
home and abroad and not
short, either.
Judging from Mr.. Benton's
self-confeSsed record, he can sell
anything - even the State De-
partment. The variety of things
he's sold before Washington are
unbelievable. He has sold adj

Thus was born the Principle

Captain Augustine Washington,
a close trader and tough GUS
toner" and father of George,
was to become a part-owner.
Cannon balls were to come from
Principle for the Revolution and
the French and Indian War. De-
scendants of the pioneer smelt-
ers were to help Wheeling, the
roaring frontier town on the Ma
tional Road to the West, become
known as the Nail City.
With the speed of Americas
growth itself, the story builds
up to the present-day blast fur
mace and open-hearth operations
of Wheeling. Impressive though
the latter are. it is the colorful
struggle of the first century Of

definite charm.
