"In the months immediately ahead the Alaska public will have a heavier load of responsi- bility to cooperate with OPA than at any time in the war period" Mildred R. Hermann, Director of the Alaska OPA, stated in a con- munication to her headquarters in Juneau. Mrs. Hermann is in Spokane visiting her son, Cpl. Chee Hermann, who is hospital ized there as a result of wounds received in Italy on March 3. ! Following announcement of VE-day she made the following statement: Present programs to hold prices in line will be subject to terrific inflationary pressures. Consumer purchasing power is still way out of proportion to available goods. The two biggest purchasers, the Army and Navy, still have a major war to fight in the Pacific.
 "In addition. to the continua- ton in Alaska of present price programs the National OPA in the States must promptly estab- prices on reconversion goods like automobiles, radios and refriger- ators. Alaska retailors and con- sumers will get the benefit of this control, without which the pent-up consumer demand could create an upward Lrice spiral that would put those first items off the civilian production line way beyond the reach of the av- craze prospective purchaser. "OPA needs more than ever the support of both merchants and consumers in it's program of price control, rent control, and rationing. It needs the continued support and cooperation of every volunteer member of local War Price and Rationing Boards throughout Alaska in seeing through to successful completion the work which it was set up to accomplish"

.OPA News

The Kodiak War Price & Ra- tloning Board wishes to clarity some existing misunderstanding among local landlords with refer ence to rent regulations.
 Rent cannot be increased above the amount registered at the time Of freezing date of rents, March l, l942, without applying for an adjustment thru the proper chan nels.
 If certain services were furnish ed by the landlords at the regis tratlon period, and there has been an increase in the cost of such services since that date, the landlord must absorb this in- crease. To collect it from a ten ant is a violation of rent regula- | tions.
 | For example, if garbage service was included in the rent filings and since that time there has been an increase in the cost of garbage removal, the landlord must assume such increase. How ever, he may may make applica- tion thru the local OPA office for adjustment in rent to cover the increase, but until such adjust ment is granted by the Territor- ial Office in Juneau, this must not be added to the rent or oth- erwise collected from the tenant Also, all landlords who acqulr- ed title to rented properties be- tween March 1943 and May 5, 1945, must file a notice showing change of identity of landlard before May 31, 1945. Forms for this are OF file at the local OPA office.

Griff Raps Yank Sale
Of fBorowy asCubs
Get Pennant Fever
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 28-Nobody seems
to know just how, nor why, the Chi
cago Cubs were able to obtain Hank
Borowy, the New York Yankees top
pitcher, but his acquisition has
started new epidemic of pennant
fever in Chicago.
Borowy had a l0-5 record with
the Yankees before yesterdays an
nouncement he had been acquired
by the Cubs was made public.
Now he'll step from a third-place
team in one league into a club four
and-a-half games ahead in another,
and into spot where he may finish
UP on top of the league, with World
Series glory before him again.
Supplies Needed Starter.
The Cubs have been woefully short
in the starting pitching department
all season. Borowy is expected to
step in to aid the Cub hurting staff
in starting assignments and to offer
more rest to such hurlers as Hank
Wyse, Paul Derringer, Claude Pas
seau and Ray Prim.
But how he got to the Cubs is
anybody's guess.
Under major league rules, a play
er has to be waived out of the
league after his club has, technical
ly, offered him for sale to every
other club in the circuit at the
waiver price of $500. Apparently
the rest of American League clubs
had passed him.
just what he cost the Cubs has
not been made public. Larry Mac
Phail, new president of the Yankees,
intimated 1t might be approximate
ly 100000, land some players. I"
Manager Charley Grimm of the
Cubs said that, 80 far as I know,
there are no players involved"
The waiver rule would apply to
any players the Cubs might include
in such deal. They couldn't send
them to New York until the rest of
the league members waived them.
Meanwhile, the transaction shook
the American League, with Clark
Griffith, president and owner of the
Washington Senators, the most out
spoken. He attacked the present
waiver rule as somewhat outmoded
and charged that the Yankees, un-
der MacPhail. have been asking
waivers on everybody"
Sale Detrimental to League"
He amplified that to say that, in
most cases, when waivers were put
out for most players, club owners
and managers had not taken ad-
vantage of them because they us
ually were withdrawn. You don't
claim their star players because you
know you're not going to get them" +"
he said.
This was case where a star
player, "a great pitcher was
waived out of the league when clubs
that wanted him figured they
couldn't get him if they put in a
bid for him, Griffith asserted.
This Borowy case will bring
about a waiver showdown" he de-
clared, adding "the action of the
New York club in disposing of
Borowy is doubly detrimental to
the welfare of the league"
But the Cubs, with comfortable
margin in the National League race,
figured he was the answer to their
pennant problem.

Pitching is dominating the pen
nant races in both major leagues
today with a banner crop of IA
candidates aiming for the 20-win
mark.
With the Chicago Cubs spending
an estimated 100000 for Hank
Borowy in a deal with the New
York Yankees and Hal Newhouser
spearheading the Detroit Tigers
drive with 16 triumphs, it is evident
that both Managers Charley Grimm
and Steve ONeill subscribe to the
theory that pitching is rs per cent
of any ball club.
The Cubs had both Hank Wyse
(l4-6) and Claude Passeau Q1-3)
taking dead aim on the charmed
circle before Borowy was added to
the flock. Charley (Red) Barrett
Cpd and Ken Burkhardt Q1-5)
of the St. Louis Cardinals both had
a good chance to make the grade
as did Hal Gregg of Brooklyn Q2-6).
Bill Voiselle of New York Q1-10)
and Rip Sewell, of Pittsburgh d1-O
were more than half way home.
American League leader was Dave
Ferriss of Boston Q7-3), followed
closely in total victories by Detroit's
Hal Newhouser $3.50, both cinch
to hit 20, likely to make it 25 with
an outside chance at the 80 circle.
Other members hoping to graduate
into the big dough class were Steve
Gromek of Cleveland Q2-5), Dutch
Leonard Q1-4 and Roger Wolff
Q1-6) of Washington, Thornton Lee
of Chicago G1-O and Russ Chris
topher of Philadelphia 01-D.
Record Day for Pitchers.
Pitching enjoyed its best day OF
the 1945 season yesterday with four
hurlers throwing three-hitters and
four tossing shutouts. None Of the
eight games played were decided by
more than two runs and none OF
the 16 teams scored more than
three runs.
Prize example was the Pittsburgh
st. Louis night game in which
both Preacher Roe of the Pirates
and Blk Donnelly of the Red
Birds turned back the opposition
with three safeties. Buster Adams
14th homer of the year with a
man on in the seventh provided
the winning 20 margin for Don
nelly and st. Lou.

Spy Song, First Fiddle
Sfymie Favored in
Pair Of Rich Races
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 28.-A colt that
has run in but two races and has
won two victories, ruled the favorite
today as II horses went to the post
in the $5O,000-added Arlington
Futurity at Washington Park-a
race that will carry 300 in cash
unless there are late scratches.
That colt is Spy Song, owned by
Charles T. Fisher of Detroit. In
his two victories he has been more
than sensational and holds a total
margin of 18 lengths over the two
rivals he has beaten.
The overnight odds on Spy Song
were So, but he'll have his work cut
out for him before he can win the 18th
running of the Futurity, expected to
offer a top cash prize of $53, $50.
Three other undefeated speedsters
figure to give him plenty of opposi-
ton over the 6-furlong course.
The three are Mighty Story, owned
by John Marsch of Chicago, winner
of three straight races; Mrs. Louise
Donovan's Fighting Frank, with two
straight wins, and Knockdown,
owned by Mrs. Elizabeth Graham,
New York, with two easy victories
Co-favorites in Butler.
NEW YORK, July % (R.-With
Devil Diver, the Greentree Stables
crack handicap racer, declared out
of the race because of a recurrence
of hoof trouble, First Fiddle and
Stymie are expected to go to the
post today as co-favorites for the
$50 ,000-added Butler Handicap at
Jamaica.
Stymie, owned by Mrs. E. D.
Jacobs, beat the Diver in the Brook
lyn three weeks ago, and will be
topweighted with William Hellis'
Rounders at 121 pounds.
Mrs. Ed Mulrenan's First Fiddle,
winner of a midweek sprint at ia
maica, has been assigned 120 pounds.

Zenith, the latter coupled with
RounderS as HeliS' entry.
