No Split With Majors

New Agreement

NEW YORK, Nov. l2.-Threats

to make concessions on draft prices
and territorial protection, appear to
have dissolved today as baseball
leaders turn their attention toward
the National Association convention
in Columbus, December 5. and 7.
This first of series OF important
winter meetings of the diamond folk
was scheduled to serve as sound
ing board for minor league discon-
tent with the present rules, but it
appears that a showdown will be
avoided by extending the major
minor code for another year.
An amendment permitting all
classifications to pay bonuses to
players for signing contracts, q priv
ilege now enjoyed only by the double
A circuits, except in the case of first
year men, certainly will excite con-
siderable debate. Many club own
ers are greatly concerned over the
tendency to pay $4,000 and $4,000
bonuses to untried schoolboys. This
amendment may bring the entire
problem out into the open.
The International, American As
sociation and Pacific Coast Leagues
are asking for the creation of new
classification, AAA, in counter

General Marshal Partly Responsible For Pearl HarbOr

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-(P)- General Marshal, Army chief of staff is held partly responsible for the Pearl Harbor disaster by the Army Board of Inquiry, but Pres ident Truman, in releasing the re- port, said the criticism was len tirely justified"
 The President, who called a special news conference to release the long awaited Army and Navy reports of the events leading up to December ', 1941, said he sided with Secretary Stimson in reject ing the findings as to Marshal.
 The bulky three volumes of re- ports were sharply critical of Rear Admiral Kimmel and Ad- miral Stark, also Maj. Gen. Short. President Truman told reporters if courtmartial proceedings indi- cated prompt and fair trials would be held for Marshall.
 The report said Marshall failed in his relations to the Hawaiian department in the following par ticulars: a. to keep a commanding general in the Hawaiian depart ment fully advised of the growing tenseness of the Japanese situa- tion, which indicated the increas- ing necessity for better prepara- tion for war, of which informa- tion he had abundance; b. To send additional instructions to the com manding general of the Hawaiian Department on November twenty eighth, l94l, when he evidently failed to realize the import of General Shorts reply of Novem- Der twenty-seventh, which indi-

2 British Prisoners Escape; Swim To American Fleet

LONDON, Aug. 29-(P)- A Reuters British correspondent aboard the British battleship the Duke of York, broadcast that two British servicemen who swan out into Tokyo bay to meet the Amer ican fleet were the first two Allied prisoners of war to gain freedom from Jap prison camp.
 The correspondent said the two men were fished out of the bay by a picket boat from an American cruiser after they had escaped from a prison camp near Yoko- hama by slipping through the fence and walking thirty miles to the bay shore. They saw the fleet anchored and asked a Jap fisher man what fleet it was. He told them the ships were American.

VOTE ON STAT HOOD
Propose Alaskans Vote On Desire To Be A State Or Not

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-(P)- A vote by the citizens of Alaska on whether they want statehood is proposed by Rep. Bennett, Re publican of Missouri, who is just back from the Territory with other House Territories commit teemen. Some members of the House Interior Appropriation subcommittee, who recently have been to Alaska declared the Ter ritory was not ready for statehood.
 Taxes Would Rise
 In an interview Bennett said "the people should decide the question for themselves at an election. But before the election they should be told the facts as to just what it would cost them in taxes. In view of the limited pop .. ulation." There are forty thousand whites, forty thousand Indians and ESkimos in Alaska, he said.
 No tax, is levied excepting the ] federal income and business lev ies. Statehood would mean a much heavier tax to maintain the state government.
 Get Rid Of Ickes
 Rep. Bennett declared "the greatest godsend that could come to the people of Alaska would be for the President to fire Secretary of the Interior Ickes." He said ] Ickes has set aside much of Alaska as a reservation for Indian parks and other purposes, and "thus
