That's the way 1t was In the

Tech, Sold Short, Now
Is Title Threat With
Fourth Win in Row
By Bill Fuchs

It seems that Tech High
Schools ball team has been sold
short.
The Maroons bowled over
Chamberlain and Bell to gain q
tie for the lead In the District
public high series but Chamber
lain and Bell are newcomers to
the league and far from dangerous.
So Techs victories went practically
unnoticed. A few eyebrows went
UP, however, when they beat West
ern and now, following the
Manial Trainers Ito victory over
much-respected Anacostia yester-
day, they are receiving respect
long over due,
The entire Tech, team, from the
coach on down to the water boy
thinks 1t can go all the way.
Il think we can do It," Coach
Woody Smitherman said after
Yesterdays amazingly one-sided
triumph. THE boys do. too. They
have the spirit and that Is some
thing, I understand. they haven't
had in a long time. It's going
to take the breaks. though. Give
us a few breaks and we can win. +"
Pope,s Performance Weird.
Smtherman, who coached track
at Tech last year. will be depend
ing a great deal on Jack Pope.
The s-foot 1-inch right-hander
consistently buried himself In
holes yesterday and just as con-
sistently dug himself out. He
allowed Is Anacostians to reach
base, but nobody reached home.
Hes the best I've. got" said
Smitherman. He was a little
wild In this game. I figured /
was going to have to yank him
more than once. But every time
he got In a hole, he got himself
out. It sure surprised me-"
Pope filled the bases with none
out in the first inning. He al
lowed two men to reach base with
only one out in the second. He
loaded the bases with none out
in the third. He walked the first
two batters in the fourth. One
man reached base in the fifth, two
l in the sixth and two in the sew
enth. And every time, Pope came
ssthroueh in the clinches.
A Werber Hits He Man Homer.
He allowed only hits, walked
10 and famed IL. Pope got able
support at the plate from Bill
! Werber, IT,, son of the former
major Lacquer; JEFF Jackson and
Bill Jones, who banged out 8 OF
Techs 10 hits among them. Wer-
!, Der, who plans to go out for base
: ball, and basket ball at Duke next
!. year. smacked home run over
Left Fielder Bob Chatlin's head In
the second inning with two on.
The same ball hit In Griffith Sta
diums right field would have hit
4 the fence with a lot to spare.
( Wilson remained tied with Tech
by trouncing Chamberlain. 1873,
Everett Eynon, son of the Mats
secretary, again starred on the
mound giving up only two hits,

TAXES AND INDUSTRY

The people of Alaska will have ample opportunity during the coming fishing season to find out ii the bark of the tax -nettled Alaskan fishing industriast is worse than his bite.
 During the current session of the Alaskan Leg isature great deal has been said about the effects of taxes upon present and contemplated industrial enterprise. This talk has been generally dismissed as the natural protest which any business makes as matter of course against any taxes which would affect 1t.
 common defense the part of those who do not feel increased taxes will have cry appreciable effect upon Alaskan enterprises is
 These people paying increased taxes elsewhere. Why shouldn't they pay them in Alaska? If pulp producer builds mill in the States, he has to face the same taxes elsewhere.
 Such an argument overlooks several important aspects of the situation it relates to Alaska, how ever. For Alaska has several great disadvantages to industry which cannot be overlooked disadvantages which must be overcome by balancing advantages if we are to entce the capital for new enterprises and retain those which now enjoy.
 One of these is the high cost Of labor which runs from 25 per cent and up than in the States. Another is the distance from production to market

GE WILL RESIST ANY WAGE BOOST
 TO 100000 MEN

NEW YORK, Feb. a. The General Electric Company has an- nounced it will resist granting fourth-round wage increases to 100000 employees.
 A spokesman for the company the nations largest electrical man. ufacturer, also voiced opposition 10 reported CIO union demands for shorter hours without reduc- ten in pay, and liberalized pen sion and welfare programs.
 The statement came day af- ter the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, tCIO) reportedly said it plans to seek wage increases and other benefits in forthcoming negotia- tions with G-E.
 G-E attempted last year to es- tablish a no-increase pattern in the industry. Later, however, G-E granted an eleven-cents- on-hour boost after other major industries gave increases.

and the high cost of transportation of the product, Another factor which must be noted for many sections of Alaska is the short work brought about by severe winter weather. There many other dis advantages to doing business in Alaska
 These disadvantages can be eased somewhat by a less severe schedule of taxes
 The coming fishing season will be watched closely by potential Alaskan investors.
 trade bulletin issued by Seattle salmon brokers already takes a gloomy view of the situation Printed before many proposed became law, the bulletin states in part:
 The outlook for Alaska is very dismal due to impending tax measures being prepared by the Ter ritoria Legislature and the fishing restrictions m- posed by the Fish and Wildife Service.
 Based on present information, trap license fees, trap fish taxes per taxes boat and income taxes will add about $2 per the cost of produc tion.
 "The income tax bill has already passed and the other bills in the hopper with of passage With the cost tinpate up and labor and fish prices to be reckoned with many packers seem ready to call the whole thing off"
 On top of this the price of salmon has dropped in recent weeks have many other food items which much easier to sell than fish.
