Raiders TrOunce
Miami All Stars
In 6-Run Rally

Bursting with a six run rally
IN the fifth inning, spanked by
Cheta Bakers homer with two
on, the Red Raiders went on to
wallop the Miami All Stars, 1872,
IN a Dade County League game
played here at Municipal Stad-
ium yesterday.
The Raiders, after making a
slow start, jumped on the All
Stars starter Charlie Kelly in the
fifth and knocked him out of the
box. Herbie Young, who relieved
Kelly in the fifth, was belted
hard, as the Raiders got to him
for five additional runs.
Rubber Sweeting pitched mas
terful ball. He scattered seven
hits, struck out 6 and issued only
two free passes. Both runs scored
off him We're unearned. Sweeting
received offensive help from
Dewitt Roberts and Baker. Rob-
erts connected a triple and three
singles in five trips to the plate
while Baker got two homers and
a single in four official trips to
the plate.
The All Stars drew first blood
in the first inning when Hank
lined on an error, moved to
third on a couple of infield outs,
and scored on Young's single to
center. With two outs in the first
inning, Baker singled to right,
and scored on Dewitt Roberts
long triple to left center, Villareal
followed with a single to left
scoring Roberts with the second
run. The All Stars tied the ball
game in the second inning when
with two outs again, Wells
doubled, and scored when Flash
Arnold booted Kelly's slow
grounder.
Sweeting opened the. Raiders
big fifth with double down
the third base line. Manager Bill
Gates drew a walk, and then
Baker belted his homer to send
the Raiders in the lead. Success
sive singles by Roberts, Villareal,
and Hernandez brought in two
more runs. Young relieved Kelly
at this point, and Jack Carbon
nell greeted him with triple to
left scoring Hernandez.
The Raiders counted twice in
the sixth when Gates was safe
on fielder's choice, and Baker
blasted his second homer of the
day. A single by Hernandez and
Carbonnelrs double netted them
a run in the seventh. They added
two more runs in the eighth on
a walk to Baker, Roberts fourth
hit of the afternoon, an error,
and Joe Navarro's single.
In the opener, the High School
defeated the Conchs, 81. Pinto
Lastres went all the way for the
High School with Joe Fleitas be-
hind the plate. Vidal and Rod
riguez were the batteries for the
Conchs,

No Cargo For
 Port Of Juneau

SEATTLE, July 10, -(P- No cargo for Juneau will be received in Seattle by the Steamship Aleu- tian, posted to sail Saturday, if the work stoppage in that port continues, officials of the Alaska Steamship Company said today.
 A three-day truce under which Juneau longshoremen have been discharging the SS Alaska and the MS Glove Hitch, will expire at 8 o'clock Friday morning.
 The longshoremen went on strike in Juneau and Ketchikan in support of their demand for immediate payment of g cents hourly wage increase agreed upon for Pacific ports. A 6-day truce was declared in Ketchikan and a 3-day truce in Juneau. Both ex- pire at 8 o'clock Friday morning. Operators said they were will ing to pay the increase in pay, but the required approval has not been received from government agencies.

 The Northern Voyager of this company has left Ketchikan for Juneau and will be out of that port before Friday morning.

Fish Packers Sue For Equal Rights

FAIRBANKS, July 10, -(P- Attorneys for the Kodiak Packers and the government argued all through the second day on the packers petition on legality of en- forcing the Karluk Indian reser- vation fishing regulations.
 The regulations, instituted un- der the Interior Department ad- ministration of former Secretary Harold Ickes, would exclude all non-Karluk fishermen from the waters adjacent to the reservation.
 Marvin Sonosky argued in be- half of the Department of Justice, and w. C. Arnold of Seattle was arguing this afternoon in behalf of the packers, to be followed by Sonosky's rebuttal. -.
 Sonosky argued that the case should have been brought against hte United States government, or the Department of the Interior, instead of against Frank Hines, Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service; that the question had been foreclosed previously in the Annette Island case, affecting Metlakatla natives; that the pack ers' case did not set forth a cause of action.

 While the Maritime Commission is considering its decision, Rep. Jackson D-Wash) announced a subcommittee of the House Mari time Commission would begin hearings in Seattle and Alaska on the Alaskan steamship problem as soon as Congress adjourns.

NO INCREASE N ALASKA RATES

WASHINGTON, July 10, -(R- Alaska today informed the Mari time Commission that freight rates Sn canned salmon should be in- creased but the Alaska steamship lines ought to be refused a general rate increase.
 David E. Scoll, counsel for the Alaska Development Board, and Ralph Rivers, Attorney General of the Territory, filed brief fol- lowing recent hearings here on proposals of the War Shipping Ad- Hinistration to increase rates to Alaska.
 The steamship lines involved presented testimony that a rate increase of about 68 per cent would be needed to give them a profit.
 They said they did not want the VISA to return their steamers until the rate question was set tied. If they were returned before that they said, they would not op- efate the lines at the present rates.
 Scoll and Rivers say in their brief that the canned salmon rate should be capitalized with rates on other freight and said the southbound rate on salmon was too low.
 "The record proves that salmon ecan and should bear some of the extra cost of serving cannery ports," the brief says. There is no question of ability to pay more"
 The brief contends that if ex- tra revenue has to be raised at this time it should be raised on salmon rather than on a general rate increase.
 Scoll and Rivers argue the Com mission should define the nature of Alaska's shipping need, which will enable Congress and the Al aska Legislature to approve re- smedial measures.
 They contend that the vessels now operated on the Alaska run should be replaced, saying 10 vessels operated by three lines average from 19 to 76 years old and new vessels would permit aore economical operation.
 They further contend that not withstanding the claim of the carriers that they cannot and will not resume operation of the ves- sells under existing rates, their balance sheets showed capital surplus at the end of l945.
 "The consensus of the parties Gin the easel is that special legis- alton is required to provide Alas ka with adequate water trans portation at reasonable rates and charges, in order to secure a per manent solution of this problem" the brief continues. However, before any such program for a permanent solution of Alaskan -A.-.- ~l- -a~ l>n ~no111y of-
