BARROOM "UNIFICATION"

 Secretary Forresta and the chiefs of the three ices have had to call upon hghrankng officers to stop nterservice rivalry and observe the spirit we'll the letter of the Newport decisions regarding functions of the services.
 At this time defense is vital factor. Nearly 80 per cent of the American budget is being spent in direct connection with national security. Apparently how ever many army navy and air force officers have not yet accepted the unfcation of defense forces n- stead they prefer to think of national defense terms of their own organizations
 As far see, individual or service glory hunting at this time do nothing but weaken out tire program of national defense There is no place for petty jealousy in the armed forces Secretary Torres tai made quite clear the present leaders of the ices not pable enough to place the interests of the nation above those of their individual service it is ob vious that new leaders must be found
 Up to date there is scant evidence that unification has been more than a name barron floor

Alaska Highway Good But Needs Improvement
tBY Vern Haugland)

((HO Special Washington SerVlcel
 WASHINGTON (R)-The Alas ka Highway is in good shape ex- cept for the southern approach in Canada, assistant secretary of the interior William E. Warne said.
 If properly developed, Warne told reporter, the famous war built highway may channel a tourist trade, of $8O,OOO,OOO to $200,000,000 yearly into Alaska.
 But there are two or three sections along the 550-mile strip in northern Alberta, between Ed monton and Dawson Creek, that are pretty bad," Warne said.
 The interior section, unim- proved dirt road that becomes greasy when it rains, totals only about 125 miles.
 Ernest C. Maihing, Alberta Premier, told me the province plans to put the road in shape relocating some sections and grav- cling them as rapidly as possible.
 we hope to pursue the prob lem of surface improvements with Canadian officials this year."
 Warne drove over the road from Fairbanks to Edmonton, with H. Rex Lee, interiors assistant direc- tor of territories, Kenneth Kadow department field representative and Col. John Noyey, chief of roads in Alaska.
 s From Fairbanks to Dawson Creek it is well-engineered, high class, gravel-surface road equally well maintained in Alas ka and in Yukon Territory and British Columbia, Warne said.
 He added that the highway needs:
 1. Additional roadside facilities, especially in Alaska. Canada, he said, is far ahead of Alaska in providing overnight facilities.
 2. Cafes and gasoline stations.
 Alacka has started to black-top the first 90 miles of the road out of Fairbanks and plans a similar surface to the Canadian border.
 'It will be necessary to hard surface the road all the way be- fore it will become a major tourist route," Warne said.
 'The Alaska highway already has had a major influence on Alaska and it is destined to be much more important in the fu- ture. It would be a great shame not to use this fine road as it should be used."
 Warne said development of the highway should particularly be boosted by the cities most likely to benefit from tourist develop ment - Fairbanks, Anchorage, White Horse, Dawson Creek, Ed monton, Lethbridge, Calgary, and Great Falls and Cut Bank, Mont. ' D VI

VANCOUVER, B. C., (P)-The British Columbia government will have to spend another five million dollars on the Hart Highway from Prince George to Dawson Creek, the Vancouver News-Herald re- ported thise week.
 The route, which would cut 1000 miles off the highway dis tance to Alaska from the west coast, was expected to cost six million when work started in 1945. It was to be ready for use, linking the Caribo Route and the Alaska Military Highway, this year.
 "NoW it is far in the future," the article said, quoting the pre- mier as saying the government still was determined to put the road through.

DROOKLYN's Bruce Edwards
ID edged off first base, his eye on
Batter Carl Furillo. When Furillo
rifled the next pitch into left
field, Edwards sprinted around
second base and raced for third.
A sell-out World Series crowd
jumped to its feet with a roar to
see whether Edwards would try
to score.
1t depended on a ittle-known
third-base coach named Ray
Blades. The Dodger traffic cop
quickly sized up the situation.
Brooklyn needed two runs to take
the lead from the Yankees. No
body was out. Edwards could
score from third on almost any,
thing - single, a fly out, or
even a deep infield grounder.
Blades held up his hands, brak-
ing the Dodger runner to a stop at
third. A minute later, the decision
was justified. Harry Cookie
Lavagetto arched a high fly to
right which scored Edwards.
Right after that. Blades waved
Furillo around third and in on
Bobby Bragan's pinch double.
Brooklyn went into the lead.

Although Blades is nobody

him tenth man in the Dodger

field of artistic achievement"
An the Angles
"A srocKY man with sharp brown
eyes set in a dead-pan face, Blades
is armed with sufficient weapons
for the job. He is top baseball
strategist. His voice is loud enough
to carry across the diamond, clear
enough to be easily understood.
He's cool operator in a jam.
When he waves a runner around
third and into home plate, his de-
cision is based partly on the game
situation: the score. the inning and
number out. Blades also has to
know the next batter, how fast the
Dodger runner is and how we'll the
rival outfelders can throw the ball.
Blades figures all these angles,
makes his instant decisions per-
haps a dozen times every game.

had held up Edwards in the Series

As it turned out both Bankhead
and Stanky scored. Brooklyn won,
8 to 6. Those two incidents in the
sixth inning proved again the
value of Blades's smart coaching.
In addition to directing traffic,
Blades functions as the relay man
in a vast communications system
He picks up signals from the
bench, flashes them to the Brook
lyn batter or base-runner.
Once Blades receives the mes
sage he squirms in the coaching
box, kicks up dust, pulls the bill
of his cap, wipes his hands across
his shirt, tugs his heeches and
claps his hands. Short of treason
there is no way the enemy can tell
which of his gestures is the sign.

lHE Dodgers themselves are able
to read his messages by a shrewd
device set up in the pre-game
meeting. They know, for example,
that whatever movement follows
the Blades cap-tugging act is the
signal.
Sometimes, however. signals
can be too well covered. In 1915
Eddie Basinski. Brooklyn infeld-
er, was at bat in the ninth inning
of a game with St. Louis. The
Dodgers had the winning run on
third with one out. Basinski looked
down the line, saw the squeeze
play sign. He was to bunt, scor-
ing the runner. But first he had to
show that he had caught the sign.
Basinski's answer was rubbing
the thick end of his bat. But
Eddie wanted to hide that signal,
He picked up a handful of dust,
tugged at his cap, hitched his
trousers and spit into his hands.
Such a display of nervous energy
from the batter aroused the curl
osity of the alert Cardinals. They
knew he was answering a sign of
some sort. The only possible play,
they reasoned. was a squeeze, in
which the batter bunts and the
runner, off with the pitch, tries to
score. The Redbird hurler used
the best counter for that. He
served a pitch too wide for
Basinski to hit. The Dodger run
ner was tagged out at the plate.
St. Louis went on to win the game.
Blades himself is good man at
hiding signs. One of the most elo-
quent whistlers in baseball, he can
break into stirring marching
song or chirp a soothing ballad.
Curious to know whether his
whistling was part of the complex
Dodger code or merely a noisy
means of self-expression, a fan re-
