BILL FOR PARTY
 CONVENTIONS x
 IN UPPER HOUSE

Two new bills were introduced in the Senate yesterday afternoon. One of them is a simple reim- bursement measure; but the other-S. B 84. by Senators Butrovioh and Contemporaries to strike many sparks before the last is heard of it. Especially will S. B. 8A find dry finder if it gets over to the House; for there it will likely rekindle the Black and White Republican feud that far ed high over the now-dead meas ue for direct election of nation al committeeman.
 S. B. 84 tackles the same prob lem in different way. It pro vides for divisional and territor- ial party conventions for each political party. Party caucus in each precinct would select delegates to divisional conventions, which in turn would elect divisional com mitteemen and delegates and al ternates to a territorial conven- tion. Each divisional convention would also adept a divisional plat form and endorse candidates for purely divisional offices.
 The territorial convention would elect committeeman-a t-large, who, together wich the four di- visional committeeman, would con- stitute the Territorial Committee. The territorial convention of each party would also adopt a territor- ial platform and elect the dele gates and aitornates to the party s national convention, and would elect a national committeeman and committeewoman. The territorial convention could endorse candi- dates for offices elected by all the voters of the Territory,
 Such divisional and territorial Iparty conventions would be held biennially, preceding elections.

Names All Stars !.
He Considers Best
OF All Selections


For the past few days the
sports section of The Citizen has
been filled with fans as fell as
ball players selections of All
Star teams.
I am a very conscientious
baseball fan, and from what /
have seen in Key West this past
season, / want to present my Sc
lection, which I honestly be-
heve deserves the prestige.
Dewitt Roberts, catcher (Red
Raiders).
C. Griffen and Cabe Lastres,

Walker or Joe Mira or Joe
Domenech, right field (Red Raid
efs). L '+''
William Gates, manager.
AS it can easily be noticed the
All-Star team is solely compos-
ed OF Red Raiders. Il IS my sin
cere belief that this IS the best
team ip the city, and for the
benefit of those who may differ
in opinion, ] am positive that
the Red Raiders would be more
than welcome to engage them
in a best 4-out-of-7l series at
Wickers Field, winner take all.

those Beloved Buns from the

However few realize that it
was Yankee team work that fig
ured in the seventh and final
game. It actually took the Yam
kee players well over an hour
before tn ey got around their
cIibroom to- congratulate all
the players who figured in the
final decision.
Relief Pitcher Joe Page was
the big Yankee when the final
out was made. (The 500 press
box reporters thought they'd
never see it, Seven World Series
games in seven days and every
Seat taken for the first $4,000

words:

But there were others in that
FINAL game. Tommy Heinrich
kept his hitting streak alive alive
with d single that drove in what
proved to be the winning run.

But in Casey the Dodgers had
one of the most remarkable
pitchers in World Series his
tory. He won a game - his Sec

COMMUNICATION

Editor. Daily Alaska Empire June 21-The Indian School situa- tion is not quite as hopeless as youl editorial of last night indicates Your conclusion is based on youl misunderstanding of the postscript Of Dr. George Dale's letter which you note is approved by Don Foster General Superintendent. It reads as iioliows:-
 the instructions to close these
 schools are incorporated in our
 advice of the action of the Sem
 ate Appropriations Committee
 Your report was as follows.
 The instructions for this ac-
 tion are incorporated in the
 action Of the Senate Appropria-
 tions Committee
 The difference is this--the Sen ate did not order the closing of these schools. The ANS office is trying to tell us that when the ac- tion of the Senate Committee was reported to them, as a part of these advices, the ANS here was instruct ed to close certain schools.
 The blame Is here.
 Here you have a good example of what I meant in my letter to the Senate Committee when I recom- mended a separate Alaska Indian Office saying that so long as the ANS reports through the OLA, just so long will the local officers tell you, We agree with you entirely, but these are our instructions when as matter of fact. the in Spiraticn comes from Don Foster himself I can furnish other eX- amples where this occurred It leaves us helpless. Don Foster prancing about us with eyes full of tears, cussing the Washington of flee. all the while he knows that he tells us one thing and the Washing ton office another. Just now he is sending a committee of Indians to support administration bills yet he tells us the bill is so rotten it stinks"
 You wonder why with more mon ey than ever the ANS seems to have less and less. One reason is
