 Proxy Holzheimer has called for two games. one tonight and one for tomorrow night. providing the grounds and weather permit.
 Tonights game is the one rost- poned by rain on July 6 and is between the Legion and Elks.
 Tuesdays game is the one post poned by wet grounds on July II and the game is between the Elks and the Moose. Get your schedule out and see if this is correct.
 And this all leads up to the Little World. Series on Gastineau Channel which starts next Sun day between the ll-Stars and the Elks. It is more than Little World Series because the money raised goes to the ball players ac- cident and capitalization fund, which has been sorely needed dur ing the present season.
 The season tickets are now on sale, players and others disposing of them and then Bill Holzheimer, as a deep-dyed-in-the-wool base Lall fan, and not as President and Proxy of the Gastineau Channel League, is going to do his high pressure work.
 But don't forget the two game scheduled for tonight and tomor' row night, as before mentioned, i grounds and weather permit.

Instead of eliminating German car

By fhs Assoeiatsd Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Andrei Y.
Vishinsky says he has observed a
"frenzied" upsurge Of opinion favor

are aimed at preserving the rem

be directed against Russia"
The Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
lister and chief Russian delegate to
the United Nations, addressing a
dinner given by the National Coun-
Gil of Soviet-American Friendship
last night. renewed his "warmonger-
ing" charges, and declared:
IT have been here for two and
q half months and I saw with my
own eyes and heard with my own
ears that there is a frenzied ideo-
logical upsurge of public opinion in
favor Of war with the Soviet Union
Under such conditions and &C
tivities, the work Of the Council OF
American-Soviet Friendship be-
comes even more significant"
Dulles Statement Cited.

toward pitting Germany against
Russia, Mr.. Vishinsky said John

USSR and the 14th anniversary OF
the establishment Of United States
Soviet diplomatic relations. that
"reactionary elements would love to

relations.
Look, for instance, at the state

made on behalf of the Government
Of the United States" Mr.. Vishin-

"At Teheran the three great lead

S@> years OF operation, United Air
Lines has always placed first
emphasis upon the responsibility OF earning and
keeping the confidence of the public. United never
has operated, and never will operate, any airplane
which we do not believe to be safe.
Acting on the policy of safety first at all times
for the public and for its employees-United Air
Lines has voluntarily Withdrawn from service its
"a DC-6 aircraft until all possible fire hazards
have been completely eliminated.
In the meantime, United will continue to main
tain service over its entire nationwide system with
its fleet of 90 four-engined DC-4 and twin.engined
DC-3 planes.
We have always believed it important to keep
the public fully informed; and here are the facts
about the temporary withdrawal of Docs:
After the accident at Bryce Canyon, steps were
taken to correct conditions which examination and
ANALYSIS showed to be potential sources of fire. Air
line engineers sought and received approval OF
the CAB. to remove parachute flares. The C.AA.
remested the removal of certain insulation which
was thought to represent hazard. Upon the rec
ommendation of airline engineers, the joint oper'
alton of cabin heaters and superchargers was
discontinued to eliminate potential difficulty.
Despite these precautions, later fire expert
enced by another airline showed that hazard still
existed in this particular type OF plane But partly
