Three Honlers

Baseball's top box office draw is Ted Williams of the pennant-b bound Boston Red Sox-the logical heir to Babe Ruth's throne.
 Whether the willowy ex-Marine hits three home runs in one game, as he did yesterday against Clcve- land, or strikes out with the bases loaded before a Yankee stadium selleut, he reeks with that vague substance called color
 Williams performance yesterday should earn him several points on next years contract. His one-man show enabled Boston to stretch it's lead to II full games by sweep ing, a doubleheader from Cleveland, 11-10 and GA. Teddy drove in eight runs with three homers and a single in the opener and doubled down the right field line in the second tilt despite Manager Lou Boudreau's novel defense.
 Boudreau moved all. his infield- CTS into the hole between first and second and shifted his center field CT into right field in an attempt to Stop the lefthanded power hit ter.f The got him out once, but he walked twice and doubled the other time.

 While Williams was joining the long list of players who have hit three homers in game, Boudreau was tying record, held by 20 players, by hitting four doubles in one contest. The Cleveland pilot also. mashed a home run for the losing cause.

some legislators over the fact that the Interior De- partment's Office of Indian Affairs has failed So miserably in making any strides toward assuming it's responsibility for the health and welfare of the Alaska native in past years This above all is the reason for the problem today. But that office has spoken it's desire to embark upon extensive program in Alaska--if Congress makes the funds available-and that is a step in the right direction.
 Commissioner of Health pr. C. Earl Albrecht made an excellent presentation of the for the requested funds yesterday and there should be little question of the bills passage.
 Veterans legislation has also been introduced in different bills in both the Senate and House.
 Rep Stanley dcCutcheon has introduced meas re appropriating S3500O0O for setting up Veterans Fund from which loans would be made to both World War and World War II veterans of Alaska How the
 money would be raised is not specified there any provisions for bonuses for those who do not wish leans.
 The Senate Committee Veterans Affairs has introduced a measure which would provide loans, or bonuses of $5 per month for each month of service for World War II veterans of Alaska, only. This is the Walker Bill" which has received much comment since provides for administration of the fund to be set up and run by the veterans, themselves, the veteran administrators establishing their rate of interest for loans-a feature which Walker said he included to keep the administration completely out of politics. The Governor would appoint the admins trators.
 This bill provides that the money for the fund shall be raised by a sales tax of onehalf to per cent
 We are reliably informed that this is the bill for which most veterans in Alaska have expressed pre- ference.
 We hope that the various veterans organizations will come to the front and state their desires to which bill they want. Now is the time to act
 While there will be some opposition to the Walker Bill because of the sales tax feature it seems to us that the money must come from some source and there would always be some of objection to any tax
 As Governor Ernest Gruening stated in his message yesterday, it would be worse than unfortunate if dssension over the of raising the necessary revenue were to jeopardize the enactment of the desirable legislation for veterans"

the sinking of the Indianapolis and at a time when the Navy should have known he had been negligent The officer in question is Capt. A. N. Granum, who has the dubious distinction of holding the Legion of Merit and also an official repri- mand, both covering duty at the same time and place.
 Perhaps the secret of his Legion of Merit is that Granum is an An napolis graduate.
 Anyway, when the Indianapolis was overdue at Leyte, Captain Granum had it's route, speed and estimated time of arrival A mag netized board, showing the location of all vessels and corrected every eight hours, showed that the In- dianapolis was long overdue. A written report covering a 24-hour period from midnight to midnight, showing the Indianapolis was over due, was shown Captain Granum.
 It was then his duty to organize search, using all available ships and planes. This was not done.

JESSE JONES' DILEMMA

A lawyer digging through old records of the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corporation the other day discovered a fact which everybody should have known, but didn't that the end of this famous lend ing agency is just around the cor ner. The REC has less than year to live. Under the law it is due to expire Jan. l2, 1947
 As result, lobbyists for Jesse Jones and REC friends have been rushing around Capitol Hill fran tically trying to attach a rider to some bill which will extend the life of Jesse's old agency. For, although now out of office, Jesse still has potent friends on the inside and considers the REC his baby.
 What happened was that Eugene Meyer, real father of the REC de- spite the credit claimed by Jones, drafted the law giving the REC Is years to do it's work.
 This means that unless the REC gets new Congressional authority, it will expire next January 12. The Republicans, who for years have been wanting to give the REC a good going over, are now licking their chops For the REC is exempt from an accounting to the General Accounting Office. It can operate
