SOCIAL WORKERS SEEK TO HOLD
 GAINS OF WAR

i MANCHESTER, England The Manchester University Settlement, enc of England's pioneer social ser- vice organizations, will work to carry over into peace time the common understanding achieved by Englishmen during the war.
 i The Settlement, in the words of it's warden, Miss Shelia s. Mckay, is convinced that life in the forces, in civil defense units and factories during the war has been the means of bringing together, naturally, peo- pie of different educational and so- cial backgrounds, and of providing a basis of common understanding.
 Manchester University Settlement grew out of the 18th century London experiment of Canon Samuel Bar nett, who believed university men should live in slum areas, and by using their houses as meeting places, share with the unprivileged the benefit of social and educational op- portunities and at the same time learn the need of and press for the solution of social and economic injustices.
 Through choral societies, dra- matic clubs, childrens' theatre, de- batting society and other activities the Settlement branched out to oth- CT Manchester areas.
 Now, Miss Mckay suggests
 settlement workers, living as settlers but in cottage homes or flats, like those ordinarily resident ill neighborhood may be able to help the newly formed communities to develop 8 community sense and to widen their experience so they may provide themselves with a full, rich and varied social life.
 Today the opportunities for diff ferent groups to meet spontaneous ly in commbn fellowship are con- tinually increasing, but none can deny that there is still much mutual misunderstanding and ignorance |. The settlement of today provides bridge which should do much to less en the gap which must disappear if classless good fellowship and help ful national society are to evolve"

'Dauntless Dotty' Seeks Cocoanut Grove Union

Boston, Nov. 29-(UP)-"Daunt- less Dotty" Myles, plucky young vocalist who was burned almost to death in the Cocoanut Grove Night Club fire three years ago tonight. suggested today that survivors of the disaster form an organization whose dues would be devoted to aiding other burn victims.
 Now 20, Dotty earned interna- tional fame when a bomber squa- ron in the Pacific last year named their superFortresses the "Daunt- less Dotty" in recognition of the courage that kept her spirits high even though 45 per cent of her body was scared.
 She believes that the more than 300 survivors of the holocaust that claimed 491 lives should give thanks by banding together to help needy persons requiring medical care for burns.
 Cites Case of Victim
 Dotty cited the case of one Co., coanut Grove survivor, Coast Guard Clifford Johnson of Sumner, Mo, on whom $200OO was spent during 2l months disqualification here and said:
 "It costs so much to care for burns properly that any little aid we might be able to give would be appreciated, I'm sure"
 AS Dotty sees 1t, the organiza- tion would consist of survivors, with relatives and friends holding associate memberships. Annual dues of $5 or $10 would be paid by membres and associates. Red Cross to Aid
 An annual meeting would be held each Nov. 28 to consider methods of disbursing the fund. Dotty felt that the Red Cross, which aided Grove victims, should distribute the annual gift.
 However, before she goes ahead with definite plans for the organiza- tion, Dotty said she would like to hear from other survivors. She sug- gested that they give their views on the plan in letters addressed to her at 102 Myrtle Street, Boston.
 A veteran of six plastic surgery operations herself, and facing sev- eral more, Dotty spends her spare time-when she isn't singing at her regular radio job entertaining wounded veterans.
 Concern With Victims
 T go from bed to bed and sing request numbers" she explained. T think the boys like the songs, and I'm sure it encourages them to know that someone else is making fight to recover.
 Dotty disclosed that, a few months ago, she met for the first time It. Col. Robert K. Morgan who piloted the "Dauntless Dotty" on it's maiden mission over Tokyo. Sh said that she and her married sister spent several days with the

 ment Is Necessary

LONDON, Oct. o-The Moscow radio announced today that Russia has informed the United States that the formation of four-power con- trol government for Japan should precede organization of a Far Eastern Consultative Commission to direct long-range policy toward the defeated Pacific enemy.
 The Russian view was set forth, the radio said, in letter handed U. s. Secretary of State Byrnes by Foreign Commissar Molotov in Lon don yesterday.
 Byrnes announced September 29 that the formation of a consultative commission in which other countries that fought Japan would be given voice had been agreed to by Brit ain, Russia and China.
 Molotov's letter, the broadcast said, reaffirmed RusSias agreement with such a project, but added that Brynes' announcement "does not re- fleet the present position"

SCORE BY INNINGS

BRIGGS STADIUM. Detroit, Oct 3.-The underdog Chicago Cubs brought their extra-base bats to the first game of the world series today. shelled the feared Hal Newhouser from the mound in three innings and galloped to g to victory over the Detroit Tigers behind the six hit hurling of Hank Borowy.
 Tn biting 45-degree weather Ee- fore a jam-packed sellout crowd that scared toward new Detroit ser ies record turnout proportions. the alert, rapid fielding National League champions made shambies of the Tigers top twirling with a 13-hit at- tack and stood off the awesofne American League sluggers all tEe way.
 One Tiger On Third
 Borowy, the right-handcr the Cubs bought for $i00,000 from the New York Yankees in mid-season. came up with wobbly control in the early innings, but with the help of some spectacular fielding by his mates, survived all threats so we'll only one Tiger got as far as third base. This was Doc Cramer the 39- year-old centerfielder who singled in the first inning, and the only reason he advanced that far was because walks to Hank Greenberg and Roy Cullenbine moved him up.
 Officially the attendance was an- nounced as 54,637, within 500 of the record ever to turn out for series game in this spacious ball park. The receipts were $221 1883. from which the players pool receives $113.160. .33.
 CIouters Had Fteld Day
 While Borowy and his fielding support were handcuffing the Tiger thumpers completely, the Cub clout- CTS found no mystery about the pitching of any of the first three of the four Detroit hurlers.
 Phil Cavarretta, the veteran first sacker, collected three hits. includ- ing homer; Handy Andy Pafko, the center fielder and fielding sensa- tion of the game, also wound up with three hits, among them a run-mak- ing double in the third Bill Nich- olson. snapping out of a slump that made the 1945 season the worst of his career, got two hits. one of them a two-run 370-foot triple in the first, and Don Johnson, the snappy little second-sacker who came back from week-long injury. pounded out two safeties, includig a two- bagger in the third.
 The Cubs landed on Newhouser with startling suddenness in the very first inning for four hits and four runs. Then, after he'd famed the side in the second. they broke out their big guns again in the third for four more hits and three more runs that sent by this time somewhat dazed Newhouser to the showers.

 NEW PLANES
Will Put DC-3s Info Service Early in December,

Arthur G. Woodley. president of Woodley Airways, went through Ju- neau yesterday enroute to the Doug las Aircraft Company factory in Santa Monica, California, to com- plete negotiations for the delivery early in December of three new DC- 3 21-passenger transports, The planes are now being built.
 Woodley revealed that these are the first of a fleet of eight such planes on order by his company to provide for the expected demands of postwar air travel in Alaska. The company has plans for the use of larger four -engined Douglas trans ports, the DC-6 which carries ll0 passengers and crew If Woodley AirWays is awarded the Seattle route for which it is an applicant in the Pacific case before the CAB four of the huge planes will provide through service to the States with the smaller planes being used for local service or as feeder planes on company routes in Alaska.
 Woodley pointed out that because of the proven 6ependability of the Douglas in the manufacture of air craft for commercial use the choice of these planes was considered ad- visable over other aircraft designed primarily for military use.
 When the new Douglas ships are put into service, he said, Woodley Airways will provide stewardess ser vice and also will serve meals alcft bringing the service up to the stan dards set by major airlines in the States.

Sourdoughs Of Alaska
 Are Paid Tribute by
 Visiting Committee

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3-A House Committee has word of praise for both the "Sourdoughs and Che chakoes" of Alaska-the oldtimers and the newcomers in the North land.
 Upon these two groups" the committee declared in it's report of last summers visit to the Terri tory, depends in large part the future of Alaska"
 Said the report:
 "The committee met many splen- did, public spirited citizens, some of whom went to Alaska in the early days and experienced tre- mendous hardships and vicissitudes. These people are entitled to much credit for their courage and deter minaticn in remaining in the Terri tory under trying circumstances Some have succeeded financially and a few have reinvested all their earnings in the Territory. Others, who have not succeeded financially have an abiding faith in the future of Alaska.
 ''To these rugged, stouthearted 'Sourdoughs,' as they are pleased to call themselves, the committee wishes to pay tribute.
 And to the so-called newcomers or 'Chechakoes, as they are known in Alaska, who are not only am- bilious for themselves but for the prosperity and rapid development of the Territory, the committee also expresses it's respect and com mendation."
 But the committee thinks the Territory has far to go toward statehood. First, the report said, it should assume greater financial obligations for road building and other territorial improvements. The committee was shocked" by the negligible revenue derived from the great fishing and mining en- terprises.
 The committee cautioned that prospective settlers should thor oughly investigate opportunities and living conditions before breaking home ties. It directed that warming to war veterans who have inquired in great numb bers about this northern frontier.
 Members signing the report were Chairman Jed Johnson (D-Okla.) and Reps. Kirwan D-Ohio) Rooney D-N. Y) and Dworshak, R-Idaho).
