Killer Asks for Death Cell S0 He
 Gan Get Some Sleep

CHICAGO, Aug. 3-tR-James Morelli, who is scheduled to die in the electric chair Aug. 12, IS occupying a cell in death row at the Cook County jail--at his own request-so his final nights ot sleep will not be disturbed.
 The 22-year-old mad dog killer was removed to one of the four cells adjoining the death chamber after he had complained of toe much noise by other prisoners.
 "The guys in the cells around me snore like rusty buzz saws with the teeth missing" Morelli told Warden Chester Fordney. How about giving me some quiet for the time I've got left?"
 Fordney suggested the death cell where doomed men customarily arc held for only about eight hours before death.
 Fine, fine.' Morelli said. "Im not the scary kind, and I'll bet it'll be quiet down there in the basement"

 MOVES up
 ON LEAD
American League Penndnf Race Becomes Four
 Cornered Affair
By JOE REICHLER AP Sports Writer

Watch out, New York! Shove over, Cleveland and Boston Make room for another claimant to the American League throne-the dash ing Detroit Tigers.
 A week ago, the odds manipula- tors had written off the pennant chances of the Tigers. A three-team race it was, they said. Today, these same odd-makers are issuing a new line with Detroit given a chance to cop, albeit slim one.
 They enhanced their chances considerably last night when they turned back the Yankees, 10-2, in the league leaders back yard.
 The victory gave the fourth place Bengals record of l3 triumphs in their last IS games.
 It moved them within seven and a half games of the top.
 Hal Newhouser, who had failed in six straight July attempts to notch his 11th victory, finally made it with l0-hit performance against the Yankees.
 The Tigers backed Newhouser's pitching with 14-hit attack which blasted Allie Reynolds from the hill.
 The Indians whipped weary Washington, 8-1, as Early Wynn held his former mates to nine scat tered hits for his ninth victory
 The Red Sox tallied once in the last half of the ninth to. eke out a 4-3 win over the St. Louis Browns. Dom DiMaggio singled to open the frame, got around t1 third, and scored the deciding run when Vern Stephens rolled down the first base line while trying to duck pitch by Ned Carver. The hit extended DiMag's consecutive hitting streak through 29 games.
 The Philadelphia Athletics ended a three-game losing streak and a 27-inning scoreless drought, defeat ing the Chicago White Sox, 5-2.
 The St. Louis Cardinals retained their half game advantage over Brooklyn in the National League race, coming from behind to defeat the Boston Braves, 7-2. Red Nun ger pitched a five-hitted for his 10th victory. Stan Musial led the 11-hit attack with double, triple and single.
 The Brooklyn Dodgers doWneo the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-2, behind the five-hit pitching of Rex Bar ney. Gil Hodges hit a home run and double to drive in three Dodgel runs. Bob Chesnes was the loser
 The Cincinnati Reds exploded with 15 hits to swamp the Phila- delphia Phils, 11-3.
 In the only afternoon contest the New York Giants shut out the Chicago Cubs, 80, for then fifth consecutive victory.

PLANE DESIGNED FOR ALASkANU5E
 L5 PILOTS DREAM

A lush pilots dream is the Beaver" a new 450 horse-powered seven place aircraft which was brought into Juneau this week for demonstration by Russell Bannock, chief test pilot for the Canadian De Havilland Aircraft factory at Toronto, Canada.
 Bannock is on the last lap of a tour through the Territory with the aircraft now dubbed the Eager Beaver"
 Especially built for use in Cana dian and Alaskan wilderness flying, the Beaver" is a high performance aircraft which gets up out of the water, off the ground. or off the snow in IS seconds. At sea level with a gross load, the plane will clear the water in ITO feet, accord ing to test pilot Bannock.
 To prove his point, Bannock took an Empire reporter on demon stration flight yesterday after noon. Within IS seconds after ap- plying full throttle the handsome yellow craft was airborne.
 Bannock explained that especi- ally designed flaps on the wings give the added lift which will get the plane in and out of small areas "a feature particularly desirable for bush flying.
 The craft is licensed for seven persons including the pilot. With five passengers aboard she can carry 200 pounds of baggage and has 1000 pound gross payload. Two wide baggage doors, plus two pilots doors are another feature of the plane.
 Bannock said the craft cruises at 124 mph on floats and 142 mph on wheels at 240 horse power. It is tied up at the Alaska Coastal Air lines float.
 The test pilot and his Beaver" will remain here for probably an- other day tefore going to Peters, burg and Ketchikan and then on to Toronto.
 Look Magazine photographer and his wife accompanied Bannock on the first lap of his flight. Look plans to run a feature photo story on the plane and the trip. The editor of Popular Science also went aboard the craft at White horse and made the flight to Fair banks.
 Bannock, who is also military sales manager for the De Havilland factory, spent more than six years with the Canadian Air Force before joining the company.

Short Wave Radios
Are Installed
In Pisgah Forest

Installation of new type short
wave radios on the Mt Mitchell Dis
trict of the Pisgah National Forest
has been completed, according to
District Forest Ranger E. A. Heers.
1t is now possible for lookouts on
Wood Mt. tower in Mcdowell coun-
ty, Green Knob tower on the Nc
Dowell-Yancey line, and Devils
Nest tower in Mitchell county to
communicate with each other, with
the Dispatcher station at Busick in
the South Toe River area. and with
the Ranger and his assistant in
their pickups.
Radio contact may also be had
with lookouts and dispatchers in ad-
joining districts of the Pisgah for
est. No Immediate abandonment of
telephone lines is contemplated,
but the radio system will allow con-
tact between personnel which did
not have such contact by telephone
heretofore.
In addition, the district has four
short-wave portable radios which
can conveniently be carried by
crews to work projects and to fires,
thus enabling quick action in as
sembling men for fire duty and for
fire crews to report progress from
the actual scene of the fire.
eve are happy to have a fine
radio system for better protection
of the forest, Ranger Heers said,
"but we are happiest when we don't
need to use it to chase down fires"
The Ranger expressed particular
concern regarding the current ex-
treme fire conditions and the added
risk from many hunters in the
woods, urging special caution by
everyone everywhere.

tory; a turkey and a scoop filled
with cranberry products.
