GOVERNOR SAYS ALASKA SUBJECT,
 DISCRIMINATION
Declares 90,0OO People Fear Another Pearl Har-
 bor'- Statehood Plea

CLEVELAND, Dec. 3-LR-Al- aska's 90,000 people are restive and fear another Pearl Harbor may come along any day. the Govern or of Alaska told the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
 Alaska, "a victim of long stand ing neglect" by Washington and of the pork barrel system of legislation" wants statehood and both military and economic equal ity with the states" he said.
 Its one voteless delegate to Congress has to spread himself out so thin that he can accomplish little if anything" the Governor added. His best job is not to do something for Alaska, but to prevent or undo measures that would hold Alaska back
 The Territory, under the Ameri- can flag for 60 years, has exper- fenced constant Congressional dis crimination against the growth of its agriculture, shipping and aviation" he continued.
 Tn peace time, defense follows the pork barrel formula. We are thinking of sending hundreds of millions to Europe to fight off Com munism. but is it good sense to |forget our back door? From Alaska we can see Siberia. We want a stable economy based on agricul- ture with modern aids to the farmer. Give us statehood and we'll get our share

AT WILMINGTON
"wednesday, June 25)

The Owls bounced back into third
place last Wednesday night, when
they took both games of a double
header from the Wilmington Blue
Rocks. In an effort to get an even
break, after losing the first game,
manager Jack Salsgaver started the
rookie sensation, Kurt Simmons,
who struck out II and held the Owls
to one hit in the first five frames
But the Owls were not to be denied
and finally went on to win the sec
ond game also.
First Game
In the seven-inning opening game,
Bill Stratton held the Blue Rocks
to six hits, three of them coming in
the first inning, when Wilmington
scored their three runs From there
on out Bill had the Blue Rocks hand
cuffed and coasted the rest of the
way.
The Owls scored one run in their
half of the first, added four more
in the fourth, another three in the
sixth, and run no. nine in the sew
enth. Daddario batted in two, Yeash
two, and JeniS and Stratton one
each, five Wilmington miscues ac-
counting for the other three.

first five innings. He struck out two
men in each of the first four in
nings and only allowed one hit,
through the fifth, single by Bobbie
Martin.
But Bunny Grifiths, seeing that
the boys were getting nowhere
swinging away, told them to choke
up on the bat and punch the ball to
right, and that's exactly what they
did.
The Owls pitcher, Eddie Owcar,
opened the sixth with a single to
right Bobbie Martin was up next
and he beat out a hit to short, with
Owcar going to second. Simmons
then hit Jenis, loading the bases.
Yeash followed with another single

out when he took third called
strike. Dick Williams then flied to
short right with all runners holding
up. Swanson, the ninth man to bat,
then singled to right, scoring Yeash
and Humphrey, but when Dick
