It could have been Juneau's celebration for in the sec ofid overtime period, the first bas- ket. made by either side meant the win. It was no doubt the best and hardest fought game in all the games ever played on the channel, with both sides just as determined. There were also tears on many faces, some in pure joy and others in defeat. This was the first Doug las victory over Juneau since 1892. Following the game many Douglas fans followed the team down to Mikes Place, where big banquet was waiting for the victorious Doug las Huskies, as treat on Mike. Heading the table on either end were Coach Gentner and his wife, Coach Gentner being delegated to cut the Victory Cake" which was inscribed with the lettering Douglas Huskies' It was very big even ing for Douglas and there was cele- brating and happiness in town.

Injury was heaped on insult yes- terday afternoon in the Territorial House when Representative Amer Peterson, Anchorage Republican, weathered the derision Of Demo- cratic colleagues for his political affiliation, only to see the in definite postponement of his House Bill 29, which was designed to create the office of Tax Commis- sicner. ie4.1
 Following a brief interrogation of Territorial Treasurer Oscar Olson, who adeptly remained on the sidelines by declaring I've been too busy to read any of the bills yet" the fight began which had it's ending 30 minutes later in the bills death. tt al5s

 Personalities crept into the dis cussion when Representative Han ford said, rMr Peterson is incon- sistent. Yesterday he was against any more bureaus. Now he has bill to create one"
 Peterson denied any attempt to divorce tax collecting from the office of the Treasurer, but de- clared an office for collecting taxes alone could do a better job of it.'
 Medicine Ball Rolls
 The political medicine ball began to roll when Peterson moved to have the bill continued in second reading until Friday and Repre- sentative McCutcheon leaped to his feet to propose an indefinite post ponement. aais 9fAs1
 After brief huddle of the Rules Committee, McCutcheon's motion was found to be out of order. but Peterson's motion was defeated in a tie vote, and McCutcheon again moved for indefinite postponement.
 Peterson declared the Democratic convention at Fairbanks last winter had endorsed just such bill as this," and went on to shout: Just because I'm not Democrat they're trying to cruelty this bill!"
 McCutcheon smilingly declared: We forgive MT. Peterson for being a Republican. When, a short time ater, Representative. Taylor again iabbed the tender Republican Peterson hide with an T too for give Mir Peterson for being Re- oublican.' Peterson roared back, l you don't have to-"

ARMY and NAVY PLAN
TO TRAIN 975,0o0
CIVILIANS EACH YEAR

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The
Army and Navy are making plans to
train a combined total of $4,000
civilian reserves a year if the uni
versal training program recon-
mended by President Truman is en-
acted, it was disclosed today.
Army and Navy planners have
prepared a tentative blueprint
which includes suggestions for the
size and location of training bases,
uniforms, methods of enrolment
and holiday furloughs.
Congress showed plainly, mean
while that it is not in hurry to
act on the Presidents request for
one year of military training for
every youth 18 to 20. The senate
and house military affairs commit
tees indicated they would not be-
gin hearings on the subject for at
least two weeks.
A bill setting the permanent en-
listed personnel of the postwar
Navy at 100000 and the Marine
Corps at 100000 was approved
meanwhile by the house naval af-
fairs committee. 1t would provide
for 10000 regular Navy officers
and 5000 Marine Corps officers.
Reserve officers would be afford
ed equal advancement opportunities
with regular officers.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25 (ANP)-
Eighteen American soldiers, most
of them born in the Chicago area,
are now imprisoned in the federal
prison at Terre Haute, Ind, because
a white Mississippi army captain
disliked northern Negroes.
That fact was brought to the at
tention of the war department
clemency board at Washington last
week through an appeal in behalf
of TIA Bernard B. James, who lives
here, but is now serving 13-year
sentence in the Terre Haute peni-
tentiary after being sentenced
along with II others by a military
court in England in May, 1914.
The men were convicted on a
charge filed by Capt. Herman c..
Hinton, the Mississippi commander
of the 641st Ordnance Ammunition
company, that they did not imme-
diately obey "go to work" order.
Stressing that the case against the
men rests on Hinton's story, the ap-
peal digs into his anti-Negro atti-
tude by his own testimony that he
often told his Negro troops that
"your souls belong to God but your
bodies belong to me-"
Hinton said he made the state

feeling" and that he made it mot

Negroes in a substantial way and
make provisions for their equal ed
ucation," the statement said.
Nearly seven years have now
passed since the United States Su-
preme court decreed that equality
of higher education must be provid-
ed within each state. Negro Ken
tuckians are growing restive over
the fact that thus far our state has
done SO little for them and so much
less than many other southern
states"
He pointed out that salaries paid
the faculty at Kentucky State,
founded in 1866, are lower than in
other state institutions and lower
than those in other Negro schools
in the south. He warned against ex-
panding the schools curriculum be-
fore strengthening existing depart

continued. "The Negro college is
not ready to supply this demand.
Such situation will only add to
the restive feeling"
Beside outlining a model bill to
provide equal education for Ne
groes, he submitted program for
equality of educational opportuni-
ties for Negroes. It's provisions
| were:
l. Strengthen and expand im=
! mediately the Negro college in
every area of instruction for which
adequate enrolment can be expect
ed. Operate no curriculum at the
college except that it be fully ac-
credited.
2. Pending full equality within
the state, continue the out-of-stat
scholarship plan on more liberal
basis, $3.50 year instead of SITS.
3. Admit Negroes to professional
and graduate courses not now avail

5. Enter into no regional univer-

Walter White, executive secre-
tary of the National Association for
the Advancement of COlOred Pe0-
pie, who will address the closing
sessions of the state conference of
the association at Wayman A.M.E.
church, Sunday afternoon.
One of Americas outstanding
Negro leaders, in his capacity as an
official of the NAACP, Mr.. White
has made investigation of Al lynch
ings and 8 race riots; has travelled
more than 100000 miles over the
world in his investigations.
One of the important investiga-
tion he has made was in connec-
tion with the triple lynching in
Aiken, Georgia, in 1925, when a
woman and two men were lynched
after one of them had been acquit-
ted Of murder with which the
three had been charged. Mr.. White
secured definite evidence against
the lynchers showing that some
of them were high in political and
official circles.
Another investigation made by
Mr.. White was that of the Phillips
county, Arkansas, sharecropping
riots of 1919. In this case the
NAACP took to the United States
Supreme Court the cases of 70
men, IL of them sentenced to death
and 81 to long prison terms. even
tually freeing them. This case es-
tablished the decision of the Su-
preme court which set the prece-
dent that a trial dominated by q
mob is null and void.
In January, 1914, Walter White
toured the battlefields of Europe,
both as a war correspondent and as
representative of the NAACP, in
vestigating rumors of friction be-
tween Negro and white soldiers,
and suggested corrective measures.
During fifteen-week tour he gath
cred much first-hand information of
the important part Negro soldiers
had in the war against Hitler. In
December of the same year, he
toured the Pacific theaters of war.
The author of books and maga-
zine articles published by Ameri-
cas- best-known publishers, Mr..
White is perhaps Americas fore
most authority on the problems of
the Negro and their solution.
