 In all, Lupien has batted TIA in the five games Woods has worked, the Stars demon Statistician, Joe Brown, points out.
 Six-hit pitching by San Diego's Al Treichel stopped the leading San Francisco Seals, 10-3

afire and the next time they met Card Manager Eddie Dyer, asked how come . Why didn't you hit that way for me?" demanded Eddie. Didn't I always treat you like a son?" Walker replied Maybe that was the trouble. You treat all players like sons while Ben Chap man is always hauling us over the ,coalS."

PIRATE PITCHERS
 KEEPING TEAM IN
 CELLAR p05ITl0N
By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer)

Associated Press Sports Writer)
 Billy Herman couldn't be blamed if he made the entire Pittsburgh Pirate pitching staff walk the plank into the Monongahela mud. In the last Is games since Memorial Day not one Bucco starter has gone the route. As a result the team is trying to knock a hole in the National League cellar floor.
 However, a crowd of 32,132 turned out last night to see the Pirates give a good illustration of the form they showed back East, lowing 7-3 tc Chicago.
 Chicago advanced into a second place tie with the idle Brooklyn Dodgers as a result of the win and the Pirates were rescued from a lonely berth in the basement by Cincinnati's 40 win over St. Louis. As a result the Mckless Cardinals remained in a seventh place tie with Pittsburgh.
 Birds Turned Back
 Rookie Kent Peterson, a highly publicized rookie who had pitched only one inning of major league baseball before this spring, turned back the Birds with five hits, to the delight of 27,075 customers. The victory boosted the Reds into fifth place, a half game ahead of Phila- delphia.
 The two night games were the only contests in the majors with most of the clubs travelling.
 New York's Yankees shut out their city rivals, the Giants, TO. with Mel Queen and Charley Wensloff muf- fling the National Leaguers' power It was their second shutout of the season but as Giant fans comment ed it was "onlv an exhibition" the first of best-of three charity series for the Mayor ODwyer trophy.

NO RELIEF IN SIGHT

From all indications, the present ongshore strike is going to go for long time, which means that Alaska is in for hard winter. Aaskas defense program is being held up. Numerous industrial con- struction programs well as personal housing jobs are folding for want of materials. Many isolated communities will be unable to lay in their winter supplies Prices are being forced up everything
 Hurray for the Juneau longshoremen.
 They were satisfied with their wages They were satisfied with working hours and working conditions But they didn't like a Federal law and when steam ship operators refused to be a part of a plan to dodge Federal law, the longshoremen decided that was important enough to sell out all of Alaska Tor
 The strike is entering it's third week. When it enters third month perhaps someone will begin to up and take account of just what the ongshore- men have done.
 The longshoremen can't win because they are bucking Federal law. But more important than that they buckng public opinion

Worthless Strike
Fairbanks News Miner

Though it is nothing for Alaska to have its freight held up by labor management difficulties the latest longshore strike something in the line of difficulties
 AS we understand it. the longshoremen are striking this time in an effort get from under the effects of the new labor law that recently passed by Con- gress They want the steamship companies to agree not to prosecute under the Tat-Hartley law in event of any work stoppages after the law into effect
 Such strike borders the outrageous in that 1t is a strike against law that was never meant to touch anyone who did not try to exceed his rights Success this strike would mean that part at least of the Taft Hartley law would be nullified.
 The effort on the part of the longshoremen seems to indicate that union believes there is loophole in the labor law which makes the strike worthless on the fact of it. If there is such lcophole allowing the spirit of the Taft Hartley bill to be violated through an involuntary conspiracy between the unions and the ship operators, we look to Congress to plug the gap as soon as would ordinarily deem it to be- the strikers can't win such contract provision anyway.
 Worthless or not, however, the longshore strike IS on and Alaska freight is being held up Looking at 1t one way we'd brand the strike unreasonable and de- clare we'd tighten our belts, roll out truck and freight planes and let the longshoremen sarve them selves into submission.
 Looking at it another way, we'd say grant the lcngshoremens demands and get them back to work, meanwhile turning the heat to have Congress or the courts invalidate the agreement

WASTING MONEY

The Empire has received several queries concern ing activities of George Sundborg former manager of the Alaska Development Board. who resigned July Il because he couldn't get by on only s6,600 year
 Repeated inquiries to the Governor of Alaska concerning Sundborgs position have brought no com ment. So apparently he hasn't another job yet
 However, he has been travelling around the Terri tory in recent weeks giving purely political speeches which he is asking the people in various commun- ties not to vote certain members of the Legislature The fact that the last Legislature cut Sundborg S salary from Sl2000 year to S6600 may have had something to do with bis dissatisfaction with the way some legislators voted
 But Sundborg apparently is not spending his own money these political trips. The Territory paid him $24O the other day a voucher certified by the Alaska Development Board. though there has been no announcement that he is even employed by the Territory
 It seems odd that if the Territory is broke We still afford to spend money to send an ex-offcer of the Territory around Alaska for the purpose of making political speeches

A Creditable Record
Cincinnati Enquirer

As the first Congress controlled by the Republican Party in l5 years. the 80th will be subject sharp appraisal now that it's first session is ended Tn fair ness, that appraisal will have to be tempered by the knowledge that Congress and Chief Executive were opposite parties, and that both branches of govern ment suffered certain handcaps in consequence.
 In little than six months this Congress made sound but limited beginning of defating the colossal administrative machine left heritage of the New Deal and the It not only upheld but advanced materially the objective of bipartisan foreign policy. It carried several investigations, but did not allow itself the partisan luxury of muck raking in the record of preceding Democratic ad- minstrations
 Most important of the constructive achievements this Congress the Taft Hartley Labor Act and measure just passed before adiournment-the armed forces unification bill. Any listing of the major problems left untouched would be longer Chief of them, probably, would be universal military service and real action to speed housing construction.
 In respect to the danger of imitation, the record of the 80th Congress is not good It authorized cash ing of five-year terminal leave bonds to the tune of two billions. It authorized continued controls nstallment sales only until November It passed two bills for radical reduction of personal income taxes which, had they not been vetoed, would have been welcome but unwise'
 After decade and a half in the minority role the COP did not have an overabundance effective leaders But in both houses, the Republicans had managed before the end of the session, to hammer into shape rather effective steering groups
 Any appraisal of the Congress adjourning for the summer, and probably for six full months, must give abundant credit for the loyal support extended to the President and to Secretary of State Marshall in the realm of foreign policy. With few and minor exceptions the record of the legislative branch shows clear appreciation of the gravity of our foreign problems and willingness to entrust to the Chief Executive the powers, the weapons and the funds necessary for the maintenance of a vigorous world policy.
 Had the Republican Congress in Woodrow Will sons last two years been fair-mnded and as alert to the mperatves of a world position, the history of the world in the l920s and l93os might have been very different and considerably happier

EMPLOYMENT IS
 UP DURING JULY

Placement activities in the local offices of the Alaska Territorial Employment Service continued to be brisk during the month of July, as in June, according to figures released by A. A. Hedges, Director, today. The number of applicants placed by focal offices was 1894, a total of 74.4qc higher than in July, l946 The placement of veterans was 11Sc greater than Tor the same period year ago.
 Over half of these placed found employment in the construction in dustry while the mining. fishing, canning and numbering industries hired comparatively few new em- ployees.
 Both employers and applicants showed an inclination to get to- gether on job openings as 799c of all referrals resulted in the filling of jcbs
 In the selected worker groups 255 women were placed, 270 per sons under 2l years, and l9 handi- capped were placed in suitable em- ployment.
 Employment took a sharp dip from the 962 listed at the end of June, to 800 at the end of July Only 167 were veterans, and many of these had been in the Territory only a short time.
 Apart frcm the facts derived from purely statistical source, a few other conclusions may be reached. Notable among these is definite slowing down in the num- Der of job-seekers entering the Territory toward the end of July. Employers are hiring the applicants at hand rather than wait for large number of applicants from whom to choose. Applicants seem more inclined to take whatever em- ployment is offered possibly be- cause the peak of the season is passing and jobs will soon be less plentiful.
