WAR DEPARTMENT
TO REVIEW CASES
OF PRO ATHLETES
Army AnnouncesSo Some
Recent Draftees May
Be DISCHARGED

WASHINGTON, May 11.-W.D-
sport was given big rnanpower
BOOST today when the War Depart
ment ordered a review of the cases
OF professional athletes indicted in
recent weeks despite their failure
to meet physical standards and
announced that some of them will
be discharged.
1t was the second action taken
by the Department on Professional
athletes within a week. Last Sat
urday the policy under which the
cases of professional athletes re-
Jected for physical disability were
subject to review by the War De-
partment was rescinded. That po-
Icy had been in effect since jan
uary 20.
The War Department said that
something less than 100' cases of
pro athletes would be reviewed with
those discharged who are found be-
low the minimum physical stand
ards for limited service or whose
cannot render useful service to the
physical condition is such they
Army.
All Of the cases will be those Of
athletes who were indicted after
the If review regulation went into
effect. The policy of reviewing all
reflections of pro athletes resulted
in charges that this group Of selec-
tive service registrants was suf-
fering discrimination. Sen. A. B,
(Happy) Chandler, baseball's COM
missioner-elect, carried a protest
against the policy to President Tru-
man and Mr.. Truman promised
him at that time that he would look
into the situation. Today's order
was believed the result.
The review policy of 4-F's was
adopted after James F. Byrnes,
then War Mobilization director,
criticized the rejection of athletes
for ailments not sufficiently seri-
Gus to prevent them from engag-
ing in professional sports.
With the resembling of the re-
lection review provision and the
War Department order today, the
acute manpower supply of baseball
football and other professional
sports was expected to be eased.
There was no indication, however
how long it would be before the
athletes found eligible would be
discharged.
among the athletes whose cases
probably will be reviewed under
the order are:
Baseball-Catcher Walker Coop
er and Outfielder Danny Litwhiler
Of the St. Louis Cardinals; Out
felders Ron Northey of the Phila-
delphia Phillies, Stan Spence OF
Washington; Paul O'Dea of Cleve-
land and Wally Moses Of the Chi
cago White Sox; Shortstop Frank
Yak of Pittsburgh; and Pitcher
Allie Reynolds of Cleveland. In
addition many athletes were await
ing to have their At classificatiQs
reviewed, including Pitchers Dutch
Leonard and Mickey Haefner OF
Washington.
Boxing-Willie Pep, recognized
in New York and affiliated states
as the worlds lightweight cham
pion and Ray Robinson. uncrowned
king of the welterweights.
Pro football-Frank SinkWich OF
the Detroit Lions.
Horse racing-Jockey Ted Atkin-
son.

INVASION OF BORNEO
 Washington Post)

At first glance the present Allied in- vasion of north Borneo gives the appear ance of being throwback to stage of Pacific war that presumably had come to an end long ago. At Okinawa our forces are 1900 miles nearer to Japan than in the northernmost point of Borneo. The Japanese garrison on Borneo had been by-passed by Admiral Nimitz and Gener- al MacArthur and left to die on the vine.
 Borneo has a special significance how ever. First, the Japanese garrisons and airfields on that island are too close for comfort to the Philippines, where the last embers of Jap resistance are being stamped out. Second the oilfields of Bor- neo could be very useful to our fleet when operations against Japan or the China coast get under way. Oil for our forces waging war in the Pacific must now be transported many thousands of miles, A source of oil closer to the scene of operations would greatly simplify the logistic problem for MacArthur and Nimitz. A foothold on Borneo will also have the incidental value of securing base from which the ultimate reconquest of the by-passed islands can be carried out.

Pan American Steps Up Service To Alaska

Anticipating increased air traV- el from Alaska to the States, Fan American World Airways today stepped up it's flight schedule to 16-round trips weekly between Seattle and Juneau-twice daily, with two extra flights per week, J. V. Roscoe, in charge of the Alaska Service announced.
 One flight daily, plus the two extra sections per week, will con- tinue beyond Juneau to White horse and Fairbanks. The Clippers will continue to fly from Fair banks to Nome on Mondays, Wed nesdays, and Fridays, and to Me Grath and Bethel on Sundays. Daily air connections to Anchor age may be made at Juneau or Fairbanks.
 lover 24OO Clipper seats each month will be made available to air travellers between Seattle and Alaska as a result of the new schedule" Roscoe said.
 "The schedule changes are be- ing made in order to permit the company to meet the heavy traf- fife demand that exists beween Juneau and Seattle. We wish to emphasize, however, that ample space aboard all flights through out the Territory will still be available, and we are prepared to operate additional flights if the demand should increase"
 The 16-round trip schedule will bring Seattle IA hours flying time from Nome; l015 hours from Fair banks; 71a from Whitehorse and 6 hours from Juneau.

THE NOME NUGGET
AND NOW AN ALASKA AUTHORITY
Seattle TimeS)

Plans for creation of Federal author ity' to take charge of things in Alaska are announced by Representative De Lacy of Seattle, at home for brief visit MT. De Lacy says he and Senator Warren Mag nuson are cooperating closely with Del egate Bartlett of Alaska to effect the new set-up.
 So far as revealed the Alaska author ity would be empowered to do many things-Inake loans to encourage farm ing and small business; make new cata- log of Territorial resources and provide means of development. The surface of the picture shows nothing particularly detrimental to Alaska. It would seem that the planners of the authority mean to be helpful.
 To the question of whether the au- thority would be independent of or sub servient to the Department of the Inte- rior, MT. De Lacy smilingly withholds re- ply It is question, we believe, the peo- pie of Alaska will regard as of prime inn portance. If independent, it might be amendable to well-informed regional in- fluence Otherwise, it would be no more than an expansion of the vast powers so arbitrarily exercised by Honest Harold Ickes for more than 12 years.
 Apart from that, the question that will pop first into the mind of every Alaskan and of every good friend of Alaska is this Why shouldn't any and add new pow CTS needed for the actual benefit of Alas ka be vested in the offices of the Terri torial Government rather than in some freshly-invented agency of Federal bu- reaucracy?
