WISE CUESSES

, "~.r Most of the politicians in Washington
are wondering where we are at" TOP
authorities predict that there are signs of
the boom slowing down; signs of turn
during 1949."
''"-"Wise editorial opinion is to the effect
that pay raises will be harder to get in the
New Year. Another bright voice chimes in
to say that incomes for 1949, as a whole.
probably will be smaller than in 1913.
Costs of living seem to be going down
aaittle. and food prices are already little
less than they were a few months ago. The
downward trend has already hit clothing
land we are all trying to believe that in
flation will wear thin during 1949.
- Of course all this side-tracks the pos
siDIlity of another big war. Cautious old
Cncte Sam evidently doesn't intend to take
any chances on any surprise attacks, and
the possibility is that military spending
will step-up little higher in 1949 than it
was in l94S.

WARRINGTON, Del, Feb. l0--lAl Ccmmiss. .oner A. B. Happy) Chandler challenged the statement of a Federal judge who called the status of baseball players some hing resembling peonage."
 No major league baseball play er receives less than S5,000 year and some of them get close to .S1c0,00O," the Commissioner told over 6O0 persons attending the an nual banquet of the Interstate League sportswriters and broad aasters last night.
 If that's slavery or servitude hen there's a lot of us would like Q be in the same class" he de Jared.
 Chandler's statement came after judge Jerome N. Frank of the U. ;. Court Of Appeals said in New York that the reserve clause in baseball is something resembling Qeonage of the pleyers.

 from Playing Ball

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-IR-Or- ganized baseball shook off its his torical shyness toward legal acton today and prepared to fight t-e latest attack against it's contracts all the way to the Supreme Court
 The legal structure is challenged in a $30000o damage suit by Danny Gardella, a pint-sized outfieldel now banned from taseball because he jumped from the New York Giants to the Mexican League ln 1946.
 A U. s. Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that the suit may be heard. Commissioner A. B. Chand- Ter, one of the five defendants, saia baseball attorneys are ready to go to the Supreme Court if necessary
 The case had been dismissed las. July 14 by Federal District Judge Henry w. Goddard. The court split 2-1 in reversing Judge Goddard.
 Garella, known more for his off the-f cid antics such as hanging from a 12th-floor window by his fingertips than for his baseball prowess, is under a five-year sus- pension from organized ball In his suit he charged baseball with heing a monopoly because of the reserve clause in every contract which oinds a player to one clu2 for lie unless traded, sold or voluntarily retireS.

Chances for inter-school ski competition for high school skiers ook slim this season. according to Dwight Dean, ski coach.
 Dean said yesterday that no J. H gh skiers will be sent to compete in races in Anchorage during the g'ecruary Fur Rendezvous. If Whitehorse holds meets this year, he added. there is possibility a team might be sent there.
 Invitations have keen extended to several Alaskan high school ski clubs to meet Juneau's boardmen at the Douglas Island Ski Races March F and l3, Dean said. Due 10 long d stances and expenses 1t seems improbable that any visiting prepsters will be able to compete here, however
 Ski instruction is being carried on every Saturday at the Second Meadow, with competition races run off for the past several week ends. en@ Tie High School Ski Club, in it's fist year of organization, has ! ,ected Fred Wyller as chairman of the board of directors Meetings were called last week to set UP point systems for letter earning nd to discuss possibilities of inter- school competition.

or more satisfying rewards.
On the other hand, your de-
parture from the difficult and
highly responsible post OF
Governor of the Virgin Islands
is a matter of real regret. AS
the first Negro to be appointed
Governor of one of our terri
torial areas, you have been in
a conspicuous position. You
have rendered fine service to
the people of the Islands and
to the national government in
the improvement of the. local
government and in the advo-
cacy of sound social and econo-
mic policies. This you have
done so effectively that the
Congress has recognized in in
creasing degree the needs for
Federal assistance in the sound
development of the area.
With the greatly increased
public interest in the Islands
and the greater degree of Fee
deral support, / am confident
that the people of the Virgin
Islands will move forward ra-
pidly to high levels of econo-
mic and social achievement.
Your service as Governor as
well as other phases of your
career may well serve as a
symbol Of that opportunity for
high achievement which must
always be open in increasing
measure to all our citizens"

children of Israel from their
slavery under Pharaoh in Egypt.
Passover is also the festival of
the spring harvest. It brings to
mind the times when our ances-
tors in Palestine celebrated the
gathering of the spring crop of
grain at this season.
Many people consider Passover
the greatest of Jewish holidays.
It is the anniversary of our free
dom. Because our ancestors had
the courage to free themselves,
and because they were under the
wonderful leadership of a man
like Moses, the Jews transferred
themselves from an enslaved
people into a nation which not
only fought until they became a
state but also gave many things
to the civilization of the word.
The message of Passover is, 1--WE
Jews must always be on the side
of human freedom" In the Seder
service we say, "And a stranger
thou shalt not wrong, neither
