ANGELSDR0p TWO GAMES
 TO OAKLAND
Rainiers Wdllop Stars in
 Seattle : Piekefs at ] One Baseball Game
,BY THE ASSOCIATED pRess)

The red-hot Los Angeles Angels were considerably cooler today af- ter dropping both ends of a double | header to the Oakland Acorns, ' to 3 and to 2. The twin loss to Oakland brought an end to the Leagues best winning streak of the year. The Angels had copped II of their last 12 games and had moved into a half game of the League leading San Francisco Seals.
 In the first game, Dick Conger held the Oaks helpless for seven innings. But in the final frames Oakland unleashed a heavy att tack to tally seven runs.
 Wally Westlake's homer with none aboard in the fourth inning of the nightcap broke the scoring ice for Oakland and gave pitcher Ambrose Palica a lead he never relinguished.
 Meantime, the Seals, behind Cliff Meltons four-hit pitching, trim med Sacramento, to l. It was Melton's fifth consecutive pitching triumph. Ferris Fain, Seal first baseman, set the pace at the plate, getting two for three and driving in two runs. Incidentally, the A-F- of-L Building Service Employees had 30 pickets at Seal Stadium as result oI a dispute between sthe Union and the Sacramento Club. Grcundkeepers and vendors stayed away but 5000 baseball filberts walked through the lines.
 San Diego moved back into fourth place as result of 4 to l decision over Portland.
 At Seattle, the kainiers walloped the visiting Hollywood Stars, 5 to 2. Seattle grabbed a three run lead in the first inning. Pitcher Glenn FL liott kept the Stars well in check, allowing lone tallies in the third and ninth Catcher Hal Sueme led the Seattle attack with three bingles in four trips to the plate.

DOLLAR IN GOOD START
 TO STARD0M
Rookie Bdeksfop Swdts Out Double 10 Clear Bases
 and Win Game
BY JOE REIcHLER

Associated Press Sports Writerl
 Unless all signs fail, young John Sherman Lollar, Cleveland's rookie backstop who was the big reason for Manager Lou Boudreau's de cision to rest Frankie Hayes after the veteran catcher had extended his record breaking consecutive game streak to 3l2, appears Head ed for Major League stardom.
 The soft-spoken -year-old na- tive of Fayetteville, Ark, followed his own recipe yesterday when in his first starting role with the In- dians, he doubled with the bases loaded to clear tEe sacks, high lighting a five-run eighth inning rally which gave the Tribe a 5-l victory over the St. Louis Browns
 Lollar began his professional career in just about the same man. ner. It was in the 1944 Inter- national League opener that Lollar, then 19-year-old youth making his debut with the Baltimore Ori- oles, smashed a homer with the bases loaded in his first pro game
 15-Hit Attack
 The Yankees moved into undis- puted possession of first place in the American League by whipping the Red Sox 1925 on the wings of 15-hit attack against five. Bosox hurlers. Ted Hughson, seeking his third straight triumph, failed to last five innings and was charged with the defeat.
 Brooklyn and the St. Louis Card inals continued tfeir merry battle for first place in sthe National League as each team won it's sev- enth straight. The Dodgers rout- ed the Philadelphia Phils 1l-3. Rookie Carl Furillo. with four hits including home run and three runs batted in, paced the Dodgers attack.
 The Red Birds won their second straight 3-2 game from the Cincin- nati Reds, with Stan Musial again driving in the winning run.
 Bruins Tamed
 rruett CRip) Sewell, an old Ne mesis of the Chicago Cubs, tanned the Bruins again with nine hitter in pitching the Pittsburgh Pirates to 4-3 decision over the National League champions.
 Boston's Braves rebounded from their hitless efforts against Brook lyn Ed Head on Tuesday by rak- ing five New York Giant hurlers for IA hits including successive home runs by Tommy Holmes and Ray Sanders, to outslug the Polo, Grounders 10-7.
 Held scoreless for seven rounds, Washington's Senators rallied for four runs in their half of the eighth to overcome a To deficit and defeat the Philadelphia Ath- leties 4-2.

 ROUNDUP
BY HUGH FULLERTON

BEAR MOUNTAIN, N Y, April 25.-You'd hardly expect to find a heavyweight fighters training camp lin this semi-secluded spot that is liable to be overrun with kids or Holiday seekers from Manhattan at Iany given moment Bsst Bruce Woodcock, British heavyweight
 champion, and his manager, Tom
 Hurst, can scatter original ideas
 about training around as freely as
 they scatter their "haitches" and
 mybe this is one of them :.
 Woodcock does his heavy training about 5 p. m, instead of several
 hours earlier as most boxers do
 He got the habit during the war when he was working in a factory and couldn't train earlier and now Hurst doesn't see any reason for all tering that routine =. And I'll tell you what" Tom Adds. If we stay around here during the summer I'll have him train at night. There's no use using up his energy during the hottest part of the day.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-04-25
HIGH FLIER

Woodcock not only is the first
 British heavyweight to invade these
 shores since Tommy Farr came over in 1888, but he's the first who ever flew across tl.e ocean to fight. Hurst is enthusiastic over the re- suits Tt only took us nine hours he says. ''On boat it
 would take five days and then the boy would need week more to get
 rid of his sea legs. That might not seem very important, but when a fighter counts on putting his foot on certain place on the floor in
 making a punch and then finds
 the floor isn't there, it's discon- certing."

protection of the Constitution. The treaty with Russia providing for annexation of Alaska de. clared that:
 T., inhabitants of the ceded
 territory shall be admit
 ted to the enjoyment of all
 the right, advantages, and im-
 munities of citizens of the
 United States; and shall be
 maintained and protected in
 the full enjoyment of their
 liberty, property, and religion.
 Of course, the people of Alaska are to this day cOnspic- uously denied one of the rights and advantages which citizens of the United States hold most dear. This is the right, through the ballot to control in some measure the functioning Of the national government. It is obvi- ous, but not often appreciated by those who do not reside in the territories, that American citizens participate in determin- ing the policies of inc national federation only through the me dium of the states. The Presi- dent is selected by an electoral college composed of members from each state. The Senate is made up of two members from each state. The House of Rep resentatives is apportioned ac cording to the population of the states.

nounced the ineptitude of both. Therefore, l suggest that the people of Alaska should, and do. ardently desire statehood unless economic or other con- alterations still prevent the accomplishment of that ambi- ton. We all know that we can do a better job in taking care of our own affairs than can be done by some secretary of a department, or chief of an agency. or head of a bureau, whose office is in Washington, DC, and who necessarily is lacking intimate, first-hand knowledge of a country so far away from Washington as Alaska.
 In fact. unless we have a firm belief in the principle of local self-gOvernment, a be- lief that we are eager to trans mute into action. there is no reason why we should not join with the many people of the world who have yielded to the seductive ease and the person al lack of responsibility for government involved in a die tatorShip.
 So the question really is whether Alaska is ready foI To form an intelli gent answer to this question we need first 10 examine statehood to find out what it is and what it's advantages and reSponsibili. ties are. and to determine where in it differs from the territOri. al form of government in effect in Alaska.

indefinite power. As for any share in the formal, legal con trol of the federal government, such as the citizens of the states have, the people of Alaska have no more than the bears in the hills, the salmon in the sea, the trees in the forest or indeed the stones in the field.
 Not only are territories in- ferior to the states in that they exercise no influence over the federal government but also in that the federal government has much more authority over the territories than over the states: first, from the general theory of the federation itself; and. sec ond, from the interpretation which the courts have put upon the constitutional restrictions on Congress.

CTS of Congress.

CTS of Congress.
 As to the rights of individual citizens, however, except for the right to take a hand in control ling national affairs, people in Alaska are not inferior to those of the states. The humblest new born child in Fairbanks could no more have the plentitude of his privileges of American citi- zenship taken from him than could the governor of New York.
 In terms of political rights the differences between Alaska and the State of California are these: Over Alaska, Congress has pow CTS of local regulation, unre- stricted by many of the usual curbs, while it has no such power over California; Congress could give to the people of Alas ka any type of government which congressman, in their wis dom, thought appropriate, while the people of California them- selves d e termin n their own mode of government, subject only to the constitutional pro- vision that it be republican in form; the people of Alaska can have no share in the control of the federal government, even as respects their own area, while the people of California exer- else such control through voting representation in ongre ss, through choice of the electors who select the President and through their powers of amend ing the Constitution; for amend ments to the Alaska Organic Act AIaskans must depend on the fed eral government, while the peo- pie of California, without refer ence elsewhere, may change their laws and their state consti- tuition in the manner prescribed in that document; any law of

PEOPLE DENIED
 MANY BASIC RIGHTS

An amendment to the Consti- tuition must be approved by a tWo-thirds.vote of both houses of Congress-houses chosen by the states-and approved by the legislatures of or conventions in three-fourths of the states. From beginning to end, the reins which guide the progress of the national government lead only from the states and citizens of the states. The territories and pos sesiong are out of it.
 Apparently it was inconceiv- able to the founding fathers that Americans anywhere or of any era should exist for long un- der a form of government in which the benefits of suffrage and representation are denied them.
 It is true that Alaska sends a Delegate to Congress. But this representative has no vote. His influence, if any, is personal. It is also true that both of the major political parties grant rep resentation to the territories in their nominating conventions. But this results in only indirect,
