HOPE FOR PERMANENT
 RELIEF IN SHIPPING RATES

WASHINGTON = Re. John l. Allen, Jr., (R-CalifJ chairman or a House subcommittee inve stigat- ing the Alaska shipping situation. expressed the opinion this week that the group Will present a plar tor permanent relief of the Teref- tory from excessive freight rates.
 Some program of legislative as- sistance to insure adequate service at reasonable rates is necessary if the Territory is to continue to ie- yelop and grow, Allen said in a statement
 Expressing confidence that the .group will work out an overall program, Allen said:
 "If We are successful in doing so, and feel sure we will be, I .toresee continued and growing dc- yelopment of Alaska. Should W, fail, I fear that the Territory growth will be strangled through .the cutting of it's life line to the continental United States"
 HIS buDtulullliet or the House Merchant Marine Committee start ed hearings Wednesday to obtain data on which to base legislation.
 At the hearings it was suggested that the Alaska shipping compan- .es might operate from Oregon and California, as far south as San Diego and Los Angeles.
 Allen said the committee wantal 10 hear testimony from all inter ests in those states as well as from shipping interests in Washington state and the people of Alaska.
 He received with favor a sug- gestion by Delegate Bartlett of AL aSka that the committee hold hear ings on the Pacific Coast. in the three states and in Alaska.
 Allen reviewed the shipping problems of the Territory. ineiud- ing recent freight rate increases under the interim plan of opera ton to remain in force until naXt July 1 which, he said, the people of the Territory have said they cannot bear

 The Federal government has provided funds through the Aet sought to be extended to Alaska m states Hawaii Puerto Rico au q the Dietriet of Columbn. In seek ing to bring Alaska under the ben efits of the Act, Secretary Krug stated The practical effect of this distinction in treatment be- tween Alaska and the rest of the nation is that the Federal road funds granted to Alaska have been consistently much less in amount .and more uncertain as to year 10 year availability than those it would receive as a participant in the Federal Highway Act The IT, adequacy of the present Federal grants for roads in Alaska can be seen in the fact that. despite lhe development by the Alaska Roan Commission of road-building meth eds which give Alaska the maxi mum amount or value for tho small amount of money available to it. the Territory has on eXceed- ingly small road mileage as com pared to its 5G0.OO0 square miles

KRUG SEEKS TO BRING
 UNDER FED. HIGHWAY ACT

WASHINGTON = Secretary or Interior Julius A. Krug has sub mitted to Congress a draft of leg islation to bring Alaska under tne Federal highway statutes and to transfer the functions of the AL aska Road Commission to the Pub lie Roads Administration
 This action follows long per iod of negotiation in connection with postwar highway problems o1 Alaska carried on following Dele gate Bartlett's introduction of bills in the past two congresses proyid ing for extension of the benefits 31 the Federal Highway Act and re lated statutes to the Territory.
 The draft submitted to Congress by Secretary Krug provides for the following principal adjustments in connection with the application ol the Federal Highway Acts to Alas ka:
 1. In apportioning funds only One-half of the area of Alaska is t5 be used in determining the amouml to be apportioned on the basis or area, and the minimum annual B. mount to be appropriated is fiXer at $7,50O,OOO.
 2. Instead of the usual matching requirements. Alaska would. be re quired to contribute each year a sum equal to 10 per cent of the Federal contribution, or S1,000,- 900, whichever Is greater. The Ter ritory would be given credit for the portion of receipts from oceu- patton and trade licenses in Alaska used for road building purposes under existing law. In 1947 those receipts totaled $l30,O0O.
 3. Both the Federal eontribu- tion and the sum appropriated by the Territorial legislation are to be expendable for maintenance work in the same manner as for con struction work Authorization is also given in the draft of bill for construction of road connections with Canadian roads in order to provide international routes, sub ject to agreements between our government and that of Canada

three ~scoreless innings in a play
over of a protested game.
Playing infield part of the time
when not pitching, Deim has been
a leading hitter for the Rebels this
season., his two home runs having
,.elped his team considerably, one
of them coming with two on in
the ninth and winning the game
for a fellow moundsman.
Playing third base in high school
and in several professional leagues
before coming to Swansboro, Pap
ply began his pitching career with
the locals shortly after the begin
ming of last eason He had a
record of 10 won and two lost for
the year, and led his team to the
Tidewater pennant in the leagues
first season.
Asked about his best pitch and
his mound assortment, Pappy de-
clared that he throws "mostly
nothing" An adapted version OF
Rip Seyell's blooper ball has
helped make Deim strikeout king
of the loop. A teammate chimeo
in to declare that Pappy hurls a
fast ball and a good curve, a slow
ball and a high ball occasional

Since the Tidewater teams play
only on. Saturdays and Sundays,
Pappy takes advantage of the off
days to play infield for and man
age the Midway Park team in the
Camp Lejeune league, playing or
Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last
year his Midway team won the
Camp flag, and this season they
are again in the thick of the fight.
When first playing professional
ball, Deim allowed his beard to
grow during his teams winning
streak which reached 10 games,
hence the name "Pappy,' which
has hung on since.
After playing high school ball in
his home town of Swea City,
Iowa, Deim played semi-pro ball,
going to the Arkansas : Missouri
league in 1886 with Bentonville,
Ark. In 1887 he signed with the
St. Douis Browns and was sent
to Williamson in the Coasta.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9. - Branch
Hickey transplanting the balance
of nower in the National League
from St. Louis to Brooklyn IN
three years is remindful o. the
fact that the farm system hasn't
done badly by the Yankees this
trip.
Not even the Dodgers can show
seven who came up to stay IN
1947.
Some people were wondering
who was going to pitch fr the
New Yorks until Frank Shea start
ed on his winning streak.
When Spec Shea and Spud
Chandler turned up with sore
arms, Larry MacPhail purchased
old Bobo Newsom from the Sena'
tors and recalled Vic Raschi, an
other strapping highlander, from
the Portland Coasters. The pair
kept a winning streak going until
it hit the major-league seasonal
high of 10. Don Johnson is an
other splendid young Highlander
in this years crop. Big karl
DreWs has been helpful.
Brooklyn came up with a SECOND
young catcher in as many years
in Gil Hodges. The Bombers pro
duced two in the M campaign
Yogi Berra and Ralph Houk, the
former also something better than
adequate in the outfieid. Houk the
hustler is the slickest receiver OF
the three New York catchers.
Young Bobby Brown couldn't get
back when an injury gave Billy
johnson a steady crack at his old
third base stand, but the coliegian
represents e satile reserve
strength in the dugout.
The Yankees are a remarkable
outfit in many ways, not the least
of which is the fact that, with all
their afluence down through the
years, they are as homegrown as
the Cardinals.
