 DOUBLE FEATURE PICTURES
 First of two motion pictures in sound and color were then shown. The initial showing consisted of an official portrayal of the whole scout program, inclu d ng advancement through all branches of the move ment by members.
 After the showing of this pie ture the meeting was adjourned in the regular form, refreshments were served to the members of the Scout Troop which was then dismissed.
 The second picture feature was that brought to the post by Glen B. Walker Alaska district manager for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.
 "A Letter from America" is the portrayal of the experiences of a numee CT of foreign-born employees of that firm, and their Americani- zation The theme develops the story of what happens to an immigrant who finds himself in the employ of American industry, and is permitted under the American system of free enterprise, to the degree that his ability and energy permits, to pros per and advance.
 It compares life in free America with that in totalitarian states. The perfection of products by human initiative and personal ingenuity give the lie to the agitator who seeks to disrupt and destroy the system of society which has brought greater comforts to man than has been en- joyed by any people at any time in the history of the human race.
 The purpose of the film is to ad- vance Americanism, declares Walk CT, who has in the past been a member of the American Legion Post at Mooseheart, Illinois.
 Following the showing of the sec ond picture, ice cream, coffee, and cake was served by the refreshment comm ttee.
 Ronald Lister was present and op- erated the projection machine which had been loaned by Rev. Rob- ert s. Treat, of the Methodist Church. Present at the meeting were Department Commander Homer C.. Nordling, and Perry Mclean, of Anchorage, who is Second Vice Commander of the Department ot Alaska.

 Asked by the five-judge court whether he wanted to appeal, the Cardinal spoke loud, clear yes. The prosecution countered ty again demanding the death sentence for the primate. Its action made 1t possible for Appeals Court to im- pose harsher sentences against ap- pealing defendants.

One Of the Mats weaknesses as
they launched the season admit
tedly was lack Of reserve strength
and that deficiency has been ac-
cented during the enforced alb
sence Of Third Baseman Eddie
Yost.
Yost. a steadily improving
yoursster who gave the Mats pol
ished fielding and who had
slammed four home runs in flve
games lust prior to spraining his
ankle in Cleveland on June 8. is
being missed. His injury could be
the chief cause Of Washington's
decline.
When Yost was hurt, the Mats
were playing at . sal clip and
spicing the American League race
by hanging in third place ea
games Of the pace Of the leaders.
Since Yost left the lineup. the
Mats have won 8 games and lost
IL and that .3l3 performance has
dropped them to sixth place, 10
games behind New York.
Robertson In Wrong Job.
Sherry Robertson, who had
given the Mats adequate fielding
at second base while alternating
with Al Ko1ar. was shifted to
third. It was q move born Of des-
peration. for Sherry never had
sparkled at third base. but 1t Is
to his credit that he has given 1t
. stab.
Despite his willingness to tackle
o tough Job, Sherry can't match
Yost's fielding. That particularly
was evident yesterday as the Mats
were victimized. 81, by Cleveland
in 10 innings.
Sid Hudson and Steve oromek
were tangled in a neat pitching
duel. Hudson opened the 10th by
walking Ray Boone. then Mickey
Vernon sacrificed. Larry Dolby was
passed purposely and Joe Gordon
lifted a fly to Center Fielder Ed
Stewart.
In that situation. Ken Keltner
slammed a hot grounder past Rob-
