MAJORS SET FOR SPRING
 TRAINING!!
Senators Stage DrearY Lead-off Yesterday
 Cubs, Tanks on Way
(By Associated Press)

It wasn't much like pre-war days, when big league teams trained down South, but the Washington Senators at least made a start yesterday to- ward another baseball season.
 The Senators stayed right near their home pasture to hold the ma jor leagues first spring drill of the questionable 1945 campaign. Chilly weather and damp ground prevailed at the Solon's College Park, Mary land, camp.
 Only three men, pitchers Dutch Leonard and Roger Wolff and catch CT Al Evans, were on deck, but enough coaches and town boys also chased around to increase the num- Der of uniforms to dozen or so,
 Meantime, a handful of Chicago Cubs has departed for French Lick, Indiana, where Manager Charlie Grimm hopefully plans to send the Bruins through the opening spring training session of the National League season today.
 At New York, the Yankees head quarters has announced that l6 players have signed contracts and are due to report for spring train ing at Atlantic City on Sunday. The New York Giants have increased their player list to IT, with the ad- diticn of fouv signed documents yes- terday.

PORTABLE PUMP FOR BOAT HARB0R
 ARRIVES IN TOWN
After Auxiliary Members Taught Its Use Will Be
 Located in Harbor

The handy billy pumping unit that is to be placed in the small boat harbor has now arrived in Juneau and is at the Coast Guard ware house on Willoughby Avenue, the Coast Guard has informed the Aux Hilary and members of the Juneau City Council.
 Before the pump is locked up In the dog house on the main float of the small boat harbor, Auxiliary members f.nd, perhaps, members of the Juneau Volunteer Fire Depart ment, will be instructed -n it's use and care at demonstration to be held in the near future, it was an nounced
 The pump weighs 215 pounds and has special carrying handles. In case of a sinking boat, two men could carry it aboard vessel.
 Details of the pump, as given out by the Coast Guard are: six horse power, one cylinder, four cycle gas cline engine. It discharges 220 gall Ions per minute on straight lift of 10 feet For fire fighting it dis charges 60 gallons minute under 95 pounds per square inch pres sure, in fog. foam, or a steady stream.
 The intake is 2ia inches and the discharge pipe is lla inches. The fuel tank holds five quarts of fuel and the engine will run quite some time on this without refuel- ing, The crankcase holds five pints of oil.
 The thread on the intake and dis charge are of standard size and any hose with the same thread can be used in connection with it.
 The Coast Guard said all the pa trol boats were equipped with the handy billy, which is officially known as the Myers Fire and Buge pumping unit. With this pump comes spanners, extra parts and re- ducers and other fittings. It may be changed over to fire fighting unit from a pump in just few minutes. A box on top of the pump holds most of the extra equipment.
 Suggested for it's care and proper maintainence are the following rules: CD that it be tested once a month with water actually running through it's intake and discharge; @ that the engine, which normally is supposed to start in 40 seconds, be turned over once in while; how ever, caution must be exercised in this not to run the engine for any

length of time without fluid running through it.
 . Coast Guard Auxiliary members and others feel that the keeping of this unit at the small boat harbor will be of distinct advantage in preventing any boats from swamp ing as happened three years ago, when several boats iced down and sank because no such pump was then available.
 In case of failure to get proper pressure through the city hydrants, the pump can be used as a booster, it was stated.
 Under the agreement made with the City Council, the Harbor Mas ter is placed in charge of the pump and will be able to make it avail able in case of fire or a leaking small vessel.

Shuns Ghost

By TED PECK

Henry O. (Heiniel WeitSchat.
whose publicists pen put words

won't write the campa ign
speeches of Richard T. Franken-
steen, labor candidate for mayor,
after all.
For a time, II appeared that

or at least ghoSt-writer. He was
the choice of William Cohen, for

and a Frankenstoen backer with

CIO-PAC aides with writing

They were drawing the kind OF
money Weitschat demands for his
services and didn't like 10 see it
get out Of the CIO-PAC family.
COHEN OVERRULED
SO Cohen'S suggestion was
overruled and the negotiations
with Weitschat were ended, leav-
ing George Miller the front-man
of the campaign. Miller IS Frank
ensteen'S assistant IN the JAW
Go aviation division.
Cohen shrugged off the slight

every last man on it-that our first two years of
fighting yielded tens of thousands dead Japs but
only few thousand prisoners?
These are cold facts Let's look at them coIdly,
honestly.
If we haven't enough ships, we must build them.
But citizenry complacent in the idea that one
of the worlds strongest empires is pushover
doesn't build them fast enough.
five haven't enough guns, planes and tanks, we
must make them. But that means STAYING on our

The question is not Can we beat JAPAN" It's
"When?" "How?" And at what cost in lives?
The answer is up to every last one of us.
1t will end as soon as 100000 Americans
and their allies, fighting and working together,
make it end.

These gentlemen of Japan are drinking to rs.
They are raising their cups in the hope that
Americans will get tired" carrying on bitter
war thousands of miles from home. The Japan
csc high command is counting on as to help her
hold her stolen empire.
The only way we will upset this Jap strategy is
to become acutely aware of certain jolting facts:
Do you know that Japan, the "master-race' of
100000, now controls nearly half-billion
people-nearly a quarter of The World,s popn-

DO you knotV that Japan right now has sufficient

DO you knoV that the Japs are making planes as
fast as we can knock them down? One of our
returned Navy fiers just recently said he chased
a"Judy" They're not fighting the old type Zeros
any moreD for forty miles -. and the Jap simply
pulled away from one of our fastest planes!
Do you realize that it's II 900 miles from France
to Tokyo that we can't wait for the leftover
arms from Europe to beat Japan -. that the Jap
Military is counting on this very barrier of dis.

Amendment To Liquor Laws

Two amendments to the laws governing the sale
Of intoxicating liquors adopted by the 18th
legislature
The most important amendment tightens up the
law prohibiting the sale of liquor to minors. The
other amendment dropped from the list of election
days which saloons required to close, those
which school elections are held. The motive which
inspired this action the part of the legislature
probably was the general lack of public interest in
school elections. Ordinarily, comparatively small
vote is recorded for school elections.
While the old law provided penalties for minors
who purchased liquor, well vendors who sell to
them, frequent violations cause of continuous
headaches Under the amended law as it stands
vendors of liquor required to demand birth
tficae other written evidence of the persons age
when any doubt exists that he has reached the legal
age of Fl years. Provision is made for the issuance
of registration cards showing the purchaser has
reached Fl years of age by clerks of the superior
court or clerks Of the municipalities.
Fines Of $1O0 to $1,000, together with imprison-
ment for not less than 80 days nor more than one
year, specified for violations Of the law by either
vendors purchasers of intoxicating liquor. (Ari-
