HAMMERS IN HuRLING WIN
 OVER ANGELS
cBy The Associated Press,

Nby lIle ASSOCldttQ ETSSSt
 That pitching Seattles Rainiers were counting on to make them Coast League pennant contenders has arrived in a sudden hail of goose eggs.
 Guy Fletcher, the bespectacled highlander, fashioned one-hit shutout to defeat Los Angeles, 20 last night. lie came close to dupli- eating the perfect seven-inning mo- hitter that Dick Barrett pitched for the Rainiers last Sunday
 And tonight the Angels were slated to face Barrett.
 The win frightened Seattle's grip on fourth place, seven games back of leading San Francisco, which lost to Oakland, 2-1.
 Fletcher's job was marred only ty Elmer Mallorys outfield single in the fourth inning. Mallory got as far as third and died there.
 The only other Angel to reach base was Dom Dallessandro, who walked in the second and was snuffed out in a double play.
 Hollywood's slugging stars belted San Diego for a 13-2 triumph.
 Tn the cellar battle, Sacramento defeated Portland, 8-2, to push the Beavers a game and a half back in the hole.

Second Juneau Veterans Body Tells Congress 10
 Go Slow on Benefits

Juneau veterans organizations are now united in their efforts to lead the rest of the U. s. war veterans to a program of veterans benefits and thus avoid the so-called grab movement. which followed World War I and brought considerable discredit to veterans.
 Taku Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, last night adopted a resolu- tion, at it's regular meeting in the Jeep Club. urging Congress not to pass unnecessary and wasteful vet erans preferential legislation and to correct any defects now existing in veterans benefits
 Earlier this week, the Juneau Post, of the American Legion, adopted q similar resolution in which Juneau veterans are attempting to lead the rest of the nation to formulate a campaign in order to preserve the U. s. economy.
 The resolution points out the large proportion of veterans in com parison with the total U. S. popula- tion and argues that the proportion is too high for such large group to tc entitled to more than a reason ale degree of special treatment from tLeir fellow citizens despite the fact that some rewards are justly deserved

ELIZABETH DEUEI
 GUEST SPEAKER AT
 S0R0pTIMIST CLUB

Miss Elizabeth Deuel, Assistant Director of Field Services of the Children's Bureau, Washington, D C., was guest speaker Thursday at the noon meeting of the Soroptimist Club on the Terrace of the Bubble Room of the Baranof.
 Miss Deuel is consulting with and advising the Territorial Office of the Social Security Agency and the Alaska Department of Public Well fare regarding the needs of children in Alaska and the child welfare ser vices available through the U. S. ChildrenS' Bureau.
 Miss Deuel spoke briefly of the various functions of the Childrens Bureau and then told in more de- tail of the work of the Social Ser vice Section. She emphasized the fact that the public, in it's sentimen- tai attitude toward children, feels that nobody is going to let had things happen to children" and SC are not on the alert to detect the really bad things which are happen ing.
 She said that children are min ority group without pressure groups or clubs and so are too often for gctten when the adult world goes to the polls to vote. She also brought out the fact that help to the child must be done in the most inconspi- cious way so that the child will not feel different from other children, and that very fact makes it difficult to show the public what is being done. As a result the Bu- reau lacks funds not only for the work itself but for trained workers.
 Tn the future of our children is the future of the world" said Miss Deuel, as she emphasized the im- portanee of guarding closely the mental and physical welfare of children She noted that the great est need is for training prospective parents for the all-important job of hcme-making as a great proportion of child problems are due to lack of love and security in the home circle, and it is to improve the home conditions and attitudes that the Bureauu strives, whenever possible Guests at yesterdays meeting were Miss Lois Jung, with the Ter ritorial Health Department; Mrs Helen Ehrendreich, Jr. Accountant and Mrs. Rebecca Feero of Jul neau Pulmbind and Heating. Other guests were Mrs. Ruth Crookes Mrs. Kay Welch, recently from Seattle; Mrs. Ada Winther of tho Department of Education, Mrs. Kate Smith and Dr. Evelyn Butler o1 l the Alaska Native Service; Mrs Pauline Washington of the Alaska Merit System; Miss Erma Wainnel and Miss Elizabeth Mosher of the 1 Territorial Department of Public i Welfare.

Overall Picture OF
Montana School
Finances

The total cost, for all purposes, for
the Montana public school system for
the school year 1946-1947 was ST.
095,811.15. OF this amount $14,662,-
261.41 was for general maintenance
which included all expenditures ex-
cept for transportation and liquidation
of debts. The amount spent for trans
portation was S1,530,S57.16 and for
liquidation of debts, $902,692.5S. The
number of boys and girls enrolled and
going to school in the rural schools,
graded elementary town and city
schools and district and county high
schools was 1860 of which 1856
were in the high schools.
BY the term classroom unit is meant
one classroom in rural, graded or
high school building with one teacher
and a group of pupils. Some class
room units cost more than others. For
the past school year there were 4,727
classroom units at a cost of $14,662,-
261.41. The average cost for each
classroom unit was $3,101S3 for main
tenance. For transportation the aver
age cost was $15326 per unit. Thus
the total amount of revenue produced
for each classroom unit for all pur-
poses, except liquidation of debts, was
approximately S3,255. From the rec
ords now available it appears the cost
for the current school year 194S-1949
will be increased twenty per cent over
that of the previous year. ELIZA

Thanks to Henry Wallace the election cam
paign is shaping up as profound political
realignment, the full extent of which it is diff
ficult to envisage at this early stage.
The race in the fall of 194S will be neck
and neck between the Republican candidate
and Mr.. Truman, with Henry Wallace taking
away as many votes in the middle west from
the Republican party as from the Democratic
party. If Taft Vandenberg, Macarthur, War
rem or some dark horse becomes the Repub-
lcan candidate, Truman has a chance to pull
through. If Dewey is nominated, it will be
tossup. However, as General Eisenhower is
not formally a member of any party, it is
entirely likely that he may run on the Demo-
cratic ticket if not nominated by the Repub-
licans. The Democratic party high command
may not want Truman to run in any circum-
stance. If Eisenhower is nominated by either
party HE WILL WIN. His candidacy on the
Republican ticket would mean a collapse for
the Democratic party.
Henry Wallace will show a strength that
will surprise many. He will poll between five
and seven million votes. The result of his
campaign will have far-reaching historic roper
cussions and lead to the establishment of a
permanent new party. Many of the lukewarm
liberals and labor leaders who temporarily lost
their heads, will change their minds before
the campaign is and come back on the
Wallace bandWagon.

at least was frank in admitting: zone cannot
but feel that the recent announcement of Mr..
Henry A. Wallace has had substantial effect
on the state of the union" Democrats and
Republicans alike haunted by the fear that
WalIaces candidacy will compel widespread
discussion of the foreign policy of the United
States jor issue of the 1948 presidential
campaign. Democrats and Republicans alike
are fearful of the inroads that Wallace is going
to make among voters who supported both
parties in past elections.
The bipartisan Truman-Vandenberg for
eign policy is becoming less and less palata-
BILE to increasing sections of the American
people. And the Wallace candidacy will
effect a political reaIignment in the United
States based upon democratic principle and
fact and will crystaze the now-inarticuIate
democratic opinion in America.
Notwithstanding the fury of the CONNER
cial press and some of the professional liberals
who have become extension of the shadow
Of the Truman administration, the Wallace
movement, which is fast developing as broad
movement embracing average Americans and
rank-and-file trade unionists, will induce a
principled debate American foreign and
domestic policy. 1t is noteworthy that Tru-
mans State of the Union Message, with all it's
promises to the voters did not and could not
answer Wallaces critique of American foreign
policy. Thus the battle lines draw closer.

COP STATE COMMITTEE
is HARD BOILED anti
LABOR OUTFIT

The campaign finance committee OF
the Republican state committee, Mon
tana, has set at one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars as the amount to be
raised by contributions from the faith
full to carry on the campaign in Mon
tana, this year to elect Republicans
and to support the Taft-Hartley scab
protector law and to endeavor to en-
act in Montana a state law similar
to the master act sponsored by the
Taft-Hartley Republicans
and which had the support of most
Democratic congressman.
The finance committee of the Mon
tana Republicans are all labor hating
legislators. The chairman of the COM
mittee, Hugo Aronson, has voted
against all labor bills, even the one to
give increased compensation to the
victims of industrial accidents, while
he has been a member of the Montana
Observation-Disclosures Socialist.

AS numerous polls of American public opinion
have shown, support of the United Nations

whelming majority of Americans But what
is President Trumans record? By-passing of
the UN in unilateral u. S. intervention to
subsidize fascsm and reaction in Greece and
Turkey; U. S. insistence on the scrappings of
UNRRA and adamant opposition to a United
Nations agency for relief and rehabilitation;
by-passing of the UN and the enunciation of a
unilateral U. S. expansionist program for
Europe. How can we square the Presidents
pat on the back to the UN as a presidential
aspirant, and the stab in the back of the UN
by the father of the Truman Doctrine? And
how does his proposal for Universal Military
Training opposed by decisive sections of
American public opinion, square with any pro-
gram for peace?

The Democratic party, which scrapped and

to direct its campaign in 1913 to the indie
pendent voters who put Roosevelt into office
each time he ran 1t now poses as the heir
of the Roosevelt legacy; this is the card trick
that the Democrats are banking to win the
White House in 1948. And the Truman speech
was the shuffing of the deck to perform this
trick.
This was again evident in the Presidents
reference to the Taft-HartIey act The over
