Flood Threatens Fairbanks From Two Sides

FAIRBANKS, -(P) Already pressed on one side by the flood ing Panama River, Fairbanks is facing a new flood threat today as heavy spring runoffs forced the Cinema River to it's highest level in nine years.
 Cutting through the heart of the city, the Cinema has risen II feet from the level of the ice surface before the breakup eight days ago.
 Riverside cabins and business houses already are drawing water on their ground floors. Easements are flooded.
 The US. Geological Survey said the rivers rise was slacken- ing and reported the crest of the runoff would soon appear.
 The Panama River, which over ran its banks south of the city last week, has advanced within a mile of the city limits.
 The flooding waters have made impossible the Alaska Highway between here and Eielson Field, 26 miles away. A 2OO-foot stretch of railroad track was under water.
 Food, military personnel and some civilian workers are being shuttled back ond forth by air several times daily.

Army Corporal Endangers Life To Save Planes

ANCHORAGE, - (H) An Air Force corporal saved a number of refueling fighter planes from possible destruction yesterday when he drove a blazing tank truck away from the parked P-5ls.
 The soldier was identified as Cpl. Robert Riddle, Johnson City, Tenn.
 The 4,000-gallon truck, loaded with high octane gasoline, caught fire on the runway while refuel- ing one of the planes. Riddle jumped into the cab and raced the truck to the other side of the field. He suffered a slight burn on one hand.
 The fire was believed to have started when gasoline spattered on a heated pumping engine.

Atomic Weapons Much Improved Over War Models

HONOLULU, -(P)-The Unit ed States has atomic weapons vasly improved over the war time Hiroshima and Nagasaki types.
 Aside from this fleeting peek under secrecy's curtain. the de- tails are hidden.
 This was the gist of a news conference yesterday by top mili- tary and scientific directors of a joint task force upon their re- turn from "operation sandstone on isolated, well-guarded Enike- tok in the mid-Pacific.
 There they conducted the latest series of atomic tests during the past 45 days. Three weapons of improved design were tested. No under sea tests were conducted, nor any dropped from the air. Whether guided missiles were can't for security reasons, be an- swered.
 Leaders of task force 2 evaded all questions attempting to pin point the latest US. strides in atomic weapons.

1917 win
gives Beers
league lead

The Chicago Bears moved
into the favorite spot in the Ma
tional Pro League race by de-
feating the Chicago Cardinals
26-17 last Monday night
The Bears proved their rout
of the Green Bay Packers was
no fluke They outcharged the
Cardinal line, their backfield
Rad that extra drive and step
that spells defeat or victory. Sid
Luckman was at his best, but
it was the two brilliant runs by
j. R. Boone and Frank Mimi
that spanked the Bears on to
victory.
The Bears seem to have it this
year both on the ground and in
the air. The Cardinals line on
the other hand is not what it
used to be. Stan Mauldin is be-
ing missed but plenty.
Nevertheless, the Cardinals
figure to rebound next Sunday
and should give the Packers a
lot of trouble. The Bears will
attempt to protect their lead
against the unpredictable Los
Angeles Rams. They figure to
win the game with Bob Water
field and his tribe, especially if
they are as lucky as they have
been in their exhibition games
and their first two games.
One of the three plays that
beat those ever trying Cardinals
was step on hand play origi-
mated by Coach Halas, whereby
one of the Bears managed to
step on Pitching Paul Christman
and that was all for the Card
inals. They were never really in
the ball game thereafter.
The most they can look for
ward to is victory over Green
Bay while the Bears are enter
tanning the Rams at Wrigley-
field.

Three top labor
attorneys defy
House conmitfe

NEW YORK (FP)-Three of
the nations prominent labor
lawyers threw down the gaunt-
let to the House un-American
activities committee on Oct. 4,
challenging the red-hunt group
to put up or shut up on threats
of contempt citations.
The lawyers are John Abt,
Lee Pressman and Nathan Witt,
who were called secret mem
bers of a prewar Communist
underground" by W h i t a k r
Chambers when the Time maya
zine editor appeared in Wash
ington as gentleman-in- waiting
to Elizabeth Bentley, the spy
queen"
Pointing out that no charges
of espionage have ever been
filed against them except in the
unorthodox atmosphere of a j.
Parnell Thomas witch-hunt, the
three demanded that Rep. John
mcdowell TX. Pa, acting chair
man of the House committee,
try to prosecute them. Nc
Dowell has threatened contempt
proceedings because they re-
fused to answer the committee S
questions.
"As lawyers sworn to uphold
the Constitution, we can do no
less than accept the test which
Mr. Mcdowell wishes to make
in the courts of the procedures
of his committee and of the ap-
plicability of the Constitution to
them. We are lawyers who rep
resent labor and progressive
organizations which he and his
colleague seek to destroy" the
lawyers declared.

SPORTS

fight managers still think of
their fighters as meal tickets
and cannon fodder.
The fans who have b e e n
screaming Outlaw boxin g.'
quiet down and meekly line up
for tickets to the next show.
Boxing can be a great sport
but unless the fans sees to it
that the promoters and commits
sions give it the capable han
ding it needs, the game will die
a sudden and untimely death
However, we do not feel that
any sport can be made 1907
safe. The tragic death of Cardi-
nal Tackle Stan Mauldin from
heart disease is in point. These
things have to be expected.
True, all possible precautionary
measures should be taken, but
in these days of hard-fought
contests and keyed-up oppo-
nents, accidents are bound to
happen
Through the IN d ium of
sports lot of participants have
arned living which they
could not have equaled in any
other way. .......
AS long as fans enjoy sporting
events and participants profit,
the risk involved seems to US to
be worthwhile.
But there is a risk and that is
the reason we have always been
against so-called amateur sports
which make big profits for the
promoters and nothing for the
guys who take the risk.

v on CAN'T keep a good man

Boudreau, Cleveland IN d n
manager, is a good man.
When Cleveland dropped two
out of three of their last games
to drop into a first-place tie
with the Boston Red Sox, not
too many people would have
blamed Lou if he had gone off
to some quiet place mumbling
to himself and never shown up
