2,OOO Construction Workers To Fly To Alaska

SEATTLE, One of the nations largest peacetime mass movements of laborers by air--if not the larg- est-will begin before the end of the month between Seattle and Alaska. An army of approximate ly 2,000 construction workers will be flown north for work under the S51 1,000,00O contract of Birch-Ly- tle-Johnson on Alaskan air bases.
 D. L. Cheney, general manager of the contracting syndicate, said the 2,O00 would join approximate lv 2,500 who already are on the job. Their arrival will signal the
 lll steam ahead" phase of con- struction.
 The firms contract covers ma DOT construction at Fort Richard on, Ladd Field, and at Mile 26, 26 miles southeast of Fairbanks on the Alaska Highway and a lesser job at Nome. The army this week announced construction of an S8 l25,O00 heavy bomber base at Mile 26 for the Strategic air command.
 The contract calls for perman- ent construction of barracks, fam fly living quarters, warehouses and sewer, water and electrical systems.
 Cheney said laborers to go north are being recruited through out the United States, with the army-navy labor board approving a wage scale corresponding gen. erally to rates paid in the Puget Sound area for the BILL pro- jects, where the workers will live in construction camps with meals and lodging for $l.50 a day.
 The firms contract covers a two-year period. Laborers are hired under years contract and flown by the firm to and from Alaska if they fulfill a 12-month, stay-on-the-job clause.
 Cheney said the workers are be- ing flown north, because the com pany believes it is more economi- cal to fly them than to pay their wages while en route by sea and inland by train.
 At the same time, $l4,000, ,000 construction job for the navy is underway in the Aleutians by the Drake-Puget Sound company, and additional appropriations for ip- stallations are expected by the navy. The announced navy pro- jects for permanent facilities ant installations are at Adak and Attu.

and was charged with seven runs.
Charlie Miller finished, giving up a
single, a double and a four-bagger,
and was charged with two runs.
Outside of Daddario's four-bagger
in the second, after two were out, the
Owls only had four men on base and
Seifert struck out seven.
In the fourth inning, after Jenis
had struck out, Yeash drew walk,
but Humphrey grounded to Hec-
linger, who stepped on first to get
Humphrey and then tossed to Nc
Lean in time to get Yeash.
Swanson, first man up in the sixth,
doubled to left, but Owcar lined to
Heclinger at first, who tossed to
Boniface in time to get Swanson
before he could get back to second.
Martin then went out short to first.
Bernie Jenis, first man up in the
seventh, drew a walk, but Yeash
flied to right, Humphrey forced Je-
mis- at second, and Williams flied out
to right
In the eighth, after two were out,
Swanson got his second hit, beat
ing out a hit to first. He got as
far as second when Seifert made a
bad throw trying to pick him off
first, but Miller ended the inning
by grounding out to Mclean at
short.
Up to the end of the fifth inning,
it was quite a ball game. After
Daddario had scored, Allentown
came up with three runs in their
half of the second, to go ahead 81.
There were no runs scored in the
third, fourth, or fifth, but the Cards
put a couple of doubles together in
the sixth, to register their fourth
run.
Then came the fatal seventh. Hal
kard, the Cards center fielder, open
ed the inning with a single. Third
baseman Smith followed with an
other single, but first baseman Hec-
linger grounded to Halvonic, fore
ing Halkard at third. The short
stop, Bob Mclean, was up next and
he belted one over the left field wall,
scoring behind Smith and Hecling-
err. That was all for Owcar and
Charlie Miller went to the mound.
Paul Wargo, an Allentown pitcher
playing in left field, was the first
man to face Miller and he tapped up
right back to the box, with Charlie
throwing him out at first for out
number two. But right fielder Don
Edwards doubled to left and Ray
Diering, a new Allentown catcher,
drove him home with a single to
left.
The Cards ninth and final run
came in the ninth, when Jim Hal
kard teed off and drove one high
and far over the rightfeld wall.
