NEW RETIREMENT FUND pR0p0SED,
 ALASKA R.R. kEN

WASHINGTON, March 1e.-R- Senator Langer tR-ND) has pro- posed that employees of the Alaska Railroad be placed under the Civil Service Retirement Act.
 He has introduced bill to repeal the Alaska Railroad Retirement Act. All money in the Alaska Retirement fund would be put in the Federal Treasury. All employees now under the Alaska plan would be given full credit for all salary deductions. They could be retired after 65 after 15 years of Service.
 Each employee retiring under pro- visions of the Langer bill would have his life annuity increased by $36 multiplied by the number of years service in Alaska in construction of or working for the Railroad, plus the number of years, if any, worked on the Panama Railroad They also would be credited with one addi- tional year of service for each ten years served in Alaska
 Any employee already retired would have his annuity increased 25 percent or $500 a year. whichever is the smaller.
 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska said the Langer bill is intended only to consolidate Government Retirement laws and would not bring the Alaska Railroad employees under Civil Ser vice regulations. He said represen- tatives of the employees agreed to the bill.

SPORTING
 ROUNDUP

(BY HUGH FULLERTON, JR)
 NEW YORK, March 18--Rt- There's at least one in every base tall camp. that is, a rookie won der who won't be ready for year or two. /. in touring the Southland you hear more about these prospects than the veterans they may some day replace-about kids like John Groth, Walt Dropo, Stan Lopata, Dick Manville and Johnny Bucha.
 Dropo, a big boy from the Uni versity of Connecticut, was on the draft list of both pro football lea gues and both pro basketball leagues. He chose baseball and isn't even on the Boston Red Sox roster. still he's the guy they'll point out in the Bos- ton camp and ask. Doesn't he look like Hank Greenberg?p ...
 This year Joe Mccarthy apparent ly is going along with Stan Spence as his first baseman. but in an- COllSl yCdl O1 tWO, AClOkJO iCOl ID UO handle his feet around first base
 In the Detroit Tigers camp, every thing else comes almost to a halt when young Groth steps up to the plate. The batting practice pitcher glances down at the screen in front of him, for Groth has the habit of slashing murderous drives right through the boy-he's only 21, a strong, weli-built youngster and they can't fault him on anything but ex- perience.
 Lopata went south as catcher of the phillies' Minor League" squad, but Manager Ben Chapman keeps muttering about the possibility that he'll beat out all three veterans. Ben won't keep him unless he can be the first-stringer, so you can tab him for triple-A ball this year :. the same goes for Bucha, who came up from Omaha to the Cardinals with a .361 batting average

the encroachment of the ideas
of federal supremacy" He con-
cluded by saying, I'm our queS
for advancement, we have been
guided more by a concept of
materialism than by the prin-
