He pointed out many ways in which
we should grow, but most of all we
should grow in grace, and be more
Christlike. Mr.. Lambertson has been
a chaplin with the marines and

six-day bike fame. Additional
strength in the form of pitchers
and infielders accompanied Peden
to Rehoboth, and the reinforced
Buccaneers, currently in sixth
place, have their sights set on the
fourth place perch currently oc-
cupied by our Sox.
Meanwhile, the Milford Red Sox
are showing every indication of
challenging the faltering Seaford
Eagles for third position in the
standings. With the addition OF
hard-hitting infelders Ray Jablon-
ski and Mike Durock, Milford's pre-
vious infield troubles seemingly are
over and the Sox now present a
well-balanced attack that spells
trouble for the other contenders.
Milford pitching is much improved
with recent Corners Lenny Luke and
Don Angove showing promise OF
developing into the starters needed
to take some of the burden off the
previous big Four, frankie Az
zarello, Bob Brake, George Uhaze,
and Harry Hoitsma.
In Danny Ryan and Stan King,
Milford has the best catching corps
to be found anywhere in the cir
cult; in fact, the first named is ex-
pected to make a strong bid for
first team honors in the annual "All
Star" selections. Don Thompson,
centerfielder, is another Red Sox
who should figure strongly in the
"All' team balloting. Designation
as the leagues "Most Outstanding
Manager" an honor won last sea-
son by the present Milford pilot,
seemingly lies between Walt Mil
lies, Sox manager, and Roy Nichols,
manager of the league-leading
Cambridge Dodgers.

PROCLAMATION

Acting Governor, Lew M. Will jams, today proclaimed April 2s to May as National Service Life Insurance Week in the Territory of Alaska and urged all veterans retain their valuable G. I. Insur- ance.
 NSLI WEEK is to be observed, said Acting Governor Williams, in conjunction with the insurance in- formation program now being con- ducted throughout the nation by the Veterans Administration.
 The VAS objective in the cam paign is to inform 10 million World War II veterans, who al- lowed c. I. insurance policies to lapse after discharge, of the bene- fits their wartime insurance of fers to them and their families in peacetime.
 Many veterans in the Territory have let their insurance lapse, thereby relinquishing millions of dollars worth of economic security for themselves and their depen- dents,' Acting Governor Williams stated in his proclamation.
 Many veterans do not realize the value of NSLI because they have not received complete infor- nation, and may fail to take ad- vantage of liberal reinstatement privileges which expire August l, 1947. I call upon all civic groups and their leaders to assist the Veterans Administration and CO., operating service organizations in disseminating information about National Service Life Insurance to veterans of the Territory"
 Local information or assistance in regard to the NSLI program may be obtained at the VA Re- gional Office located in the Gold stein Building in Juneau.

ALASKA HARB0R
 SURVEYS WOULD
 BE CANCELLED
By JOHN CHADWICK

WASHINGTON, April 24.-tR- Chairman Dondero (R-Mich), of the House Public Works Commit tee has started what he says is an unprecedented move to de-authorize mfny flood control and navigation projects.
 His first step was the introduc- tion of a bill to recall authority given by Congress for 81 survey projects by Army Engineers. They all involve rivers and harbors i'm provements.
 Legislation to de-authorize addi- tional projects will be offered lat CT, Dondero today told reporter.
 One objective, he said, is to clamp down on unjustified requests for Army Engineers to survey and report on proposed flood control and navigation projects.
 Army Engineers have advised the committee that about thirds of these surveys turn out negative" Dondero said, but that the cost of making them amounts to about $4,000,000 a year.
 The projects listed in Dondero's bill include:
 Harbor at Hydaburg, Alaska; harbor at Angoon, Alaska; channel to connect Oliver Inlet and Sey- mour Canal, Alaska; Tenakee Har- hor, Alaska; harbor at Pelican, Alaska harbor at Gustavus, Alaska.

WAR FRAUD CHARGE BRINGS THREAT OF MORE DISCLOSURES

WASHINGTON, April 24.-R- Counsel for Andrew J. May denied today the former House Military committee chairman received two Sl,0C0 checks for obtaining War Department favors and said they went to the 1914 Democratic cam paign fund.
 Sawyer Smith, Mays attorney, made the statement to jury try ing May and three co-defendants on war fraud charges. Smith told the jurors if the government pur- sues details about the two checks at the trial, I'll have Andrew J. May disclose the entire transaction and it involves high party fig ures, even members of congress" !"
 Smith asserted:
 Jack didn't do anything more than any other congressman did. Those two $1,000 checks were pure ly and simply campaign contribu- tions to the Democratic commit tee in the 1944 Presidential cam- paign and nothing else.
