Second Game

In the second game, the Wachu- sett was scheduled to play against the Columbia Lumber team, but be- cause the Coast Guard cutter will not return to Juneau until next Tuesday, a J-High team replaced the Coast Guard. The J-High team was composed of all players who didn't get a workout the pre- vious evening when the Crimson Bears trounced the ACS.
 The J-High team was having its first workout in front of the crowd and started to score in the sec end quarter after their stage fright wore off and ended up with score of 36 to the Columbia Lum- ber's 53. Hansen of the J-High team. in the excitement of the first few minutes of the game, sank a beautiful basket-into the Columbia Lumbers hoop. The J. High team gained valuable exper- fence in the game and made a good showing against the Colum- bia Lumber team, which played fast ball last night. High man for Columbia Lumber was Harry Aase who made Is points and top scorer for the High School was Kleweno with II.
 Indications that there will be some hard-fought games in the Gastineau Channel League thls season were made last night with the good ball handling displayed hy Columbia Lumber and Dar- nell's. Bets are being placed that among the teams who will enter the second and final round Of the League will be Darnell's, 1mperials and Columbia Lumber.

10 TEAM MAJOR
 BASEBALL LEAGUE lS AGAIN BROUGHT Up
By JOE REICHLER


 MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 1 lR-The le-team Major League, which prov ed a dud once before, may be re- vived in the National and Ameri- can Leagues ill the near future.
 The Executive Council has drawn up preliminary plans for such a revolutionary move with the pur- pose of admitting four Pacific League teams in the Majors, the Associated Press has learned.
 The source added that the teams are Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland and Hollywood.
 The Executive Council, with the approval of the Major Leagues, had agreed that this is the only logical step" the source continued. After it's visit to California last August, during which time it hs- tened to the demands of the Pac- fife Coast League, the Council studied the matter carefully and decided that it would not be feas- ible to grant the Coast Leagues request. It agreed, however, that Major League hall was bound to come to the Coast some day

Dispute Stirred on Parent Unit
|OfPubIic Alcoholic Clinics Here
By George Kennedy

Whether the alcoholic clinics pro-
posed by the Hebert bill should be
under the District Department OF
Corrections or under the Health De-
partment is matter of dispute, a
survey of interested opinion re-
vealed last night.
The bill introduced by Represen-
tative Herbert, Democrat, of Lcuisi-
ana would tax LIQUOR for the estab-
| lishment of the clinics.
Representative Miller, Republican,
of Nebraska, chairman of the sub
! committee which has the Hebert
! bill and other proposed District
legislation before it, said he might
issue a statement on the bill after
meeting of his committee to-
morrow to consider all bills before it.
He added he had some definite ideas
on the clinic measure.
DIR. Wexberg Sees Stigma.
DR.. Leopold Wexberg, Health De-
partment psychiatrist who has been
conducting the voluntary clinic for
alcoholics at the Force School. 1740
Massachusetts, avenue NV, said If
the clinics were in the Department
of Corrections. as now provided in
the Hebert bill, it would give them
stigma that would defeat the plan
to have sufferers from alcohol, come
in voluntarily in addition to those
arrested for intoxication and COM
mitted to the clinics by the courts.
Donald Clemmer, director of the
Department of Corrections, said he
realized that provision OF the bill
was controversial.
He was not concerned about hav-
ing the clinics, he said, but he did
want to point out that, alcoholism
frequently doesn't occur alone.
"It is often accompanied by pred
atory behavior, exhibitionism, abuse
of family members, assaultive traits
etc." he said. "A clinic in the public
health end of municipal government
could not cope quite so well with
these other traits, as can a socially
minded correction program"
Bill Seen as Proper Step.
Mr.. Clemmer added: IF prison
management were as unprogressive
and outdated as it used to be, then
such clinics as proposed should not
be in the prison system. However,
the proposed clinic system harmo-
nizes very well with our treatment
philosophy and our re-education
program on other personality prob
lems.'
The board chairman of Alcoholics
Anonymous, whose name cannot be
revealed because of the rules of
that brotherhood, said the Herbert
bill "was a step in the right direc-
ton"
He and other local leaders of the
AA movement were most interested
Evening star., 1947-02-16

in the bills declaration that an al
coholic is sick man.
All had read the articles and were
of the opinion that the problem is
much bigger than indicated by the
police figures of $4,000 arrests q
year and conclusions from them
cited in the articles that the number
of problem drinkers is about 10000.
"I am an alcoholic" said the Al
coholics Anonymous chairman, "and
I was never arrested in my life.
There must be many thousands of
alcoholics who have never been ar
rested"
The AA leaders all wondered what
will be the experience with alcohol
les committed to clinics by the
courts. They have been working
with alcoholics who voluntarily
want to stop drinking.
They said that their 600 members
would pitch in and try to help where
help was called for. They agreed
that the experiment of applying
group therapy - the Alcoholics
Anonymous method-and the out
patient clinic plan-to the police
court level of alcoholics must be
tried.

Police Resume Hunt
For Langley CoIIyer
InJunk-FiIIedM Mansion
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 25.-The Coll
yer mansion, packed with the tumble
of junk that two brothers collected
during nearly two score years of
secluSion there, was entered again
today by police seeking to learn
whether one of the brothers, Lang
ley Collyer, 81, is alive.
Five of the 10 pianos Langley
Collyer once said he owned had been
uncovered when the first days
search ended at nightfall yesterday.
Three ancient dress forms, kiddy
car, numerous pin-up girl pictures
of modern date, the folding top of
horse drawn buggy and eight
crates of legal documents were
among the items removed as the
search continued.
Still to be searched today was
about half of the three-story house,
including the cellar, in which there
are said to be subterranean passage
ways leading to sanother house on
upper Fifth avenue once owned by
Langley and Homer Collyer.
Brothers Body Found.
Acting on a mysterious telephone
call, police last Friday found the
body of Homer Collyer, 65. dead of
heart disease, inside the house near
window. Homer, blind and a for
mer admiralty lawyer, for years had
been cared for. by Langley, who
usually went out. at night to buy
their provisions. - ..~
The search was begun yesterday
afternoon after the brothers attor-
ney, John r. McMullen, declared
Langley missing person" Anime
State alarm for Langley was broad
cast. He last was seen Thursday
on the stoop of the mansion in a
now questionable district.
Mr.. McMullen said the brothers
had bank balance of more than
100000 and still owned property,

from the District Water Registrar
of bill for $l,573.7S for water con-
sun1ed at the Armory Cafeteria from
May 1, 1s43, to February II, this
year
Senator O'Mahoney recalled that
for many years the United States
paid so per cent of the Districts
costs, but that this was changed to
40 per cent lii 1924. Shortly there
after, he recalled, Congress began to
ignore the law requiring the United
States to pay a fixed percentage, and
adopted the lump sum system.
Then, as District costs began to
mount, he recalled. there came de-
,mands for placing more taxes on
the District people. 1t was noted
the District had no income levy, no
inheritance and estate taxes. These
were enacted, he continued. "and
that was proper-but Congress at
the same time was cutting down on
the portion Of the costs it was
paying"
To illustrate this, the wyoming
Senator turned to a fiscal relations
report made by his subcommittee in
the Seventy ninth Congress to show
how the three new District taxes
had been producing greatly in
creased revenues.
Decline in Taxable Land.
While the personal and corporate
income revenues and inheritance
and estate taxes totaled only $3,117,-
600 in 1910, the total went to $10,-
414,000 for 1915.
yet there has been no similar in
crease in the Federal payment" he
commented. @
Along the same line, he showed
that largely due to increased Federal
land holdings here, the percentage
of District land that is taxable has
constantly declined-from 569 per
cent in 1885 to 503 per cent 10 years
later.
Senator Cain reminded him that
today the percentage that is taxable
is slightly less than so per cent.

O'Mahoney recalled that about %
