WILL BE
 REGION l IN NEW
 BUREAU OF MINES

Alaska, usually the last numbered region of a federal agency gets the first digit in the proposed re- organization of the Department of the Interiors Bureau of Mines, it is learned from the recent memoran- dunn sent by Director. James Boyd.
 Nine areas will be established, with Juneau as regional headquar- ters of Region I (Alaska.
 Moving eastward, this time, the numbers go on from Region II Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana) to VIII which is on the East Coast and to Virginia and Kentucky boundaries.
 Region TX will te the Foreign Minerals Region, ito deal with problems involved in the Bureau for the rest of the world"
 At present, there is no Alaska director of the Bureau of Mines, as such. G. D. Jermain. head of the Mining Branch in the Terri tory, represents the Bureau on the Alaska Field Committee. but other branches, such as the Metal Eco- monies Branch are also established here.
 According to Director Boyd, the reorganization on a regional basis for the 39-year-old bureau will provide "a direct channel of dele gated responsibility" Each regional director will be responsible directly to the director, with the Washing ton office serving more in the capacity of consultant."
 Director Boyd gives no indica- tion. in his general memorandum to his staff, as to when the re- organization will become effective. He indicates that it will take con- siderable time, and that there VIII be places for all present staff mem rers, although not necessarily Tn equivalent capacities.
 No indication is given as to Alaska personnel, nor has Jermain any information on the subject.

CARDINALS ARE
 GIVEN 5LAMMINC
 BY WANDER MEER
By RALPH RIDDEN


 A hero in Brooklyn, bum in St. Louis and just another pitcher to the fans in the other major league cities-that's the thumb nail sketch on Lefty Johnny Wander Nicer of the Cincinnati Reds.
 Here's why:
 A hero in Brooklyn-beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-1, last night to keep Brooklyn within game of the leading Cards.
 Bum in St. Louis-the triumph was Wander Meer's third of the year over the Red Birds who have beaten him only once.
 Just another pitcher to the rest of the league-outside of clipping the Cards, Vandy has won only two other games, one against Philadel- phia and a shutout over Chicago. The Cards squared off against Wander Nicer chuckling over the Dodgers l0-l heating by the New York Giants in the afternoon at Ebbets Field The smiles faded in the fourth inning
 Vandy, who a week ago tonight was belted for II hits in less than four innings by the Cards in game that wound up in 9-9 15- inning tie, yielded a run in the first and then slammed the door.
 The Reds, who had bowed II times and deadlocked the Cardinals once in their last 12 encounters, cracked Al Brazle for three runs in the fourth with the aid of two errors and were never headed.
 Three more Reds crossed home in the fifth to insure Wander Meer's 22nd triumph of his career against the Cards. The Cards have beaten the Red Lefty IS times.
 Lefty Dave Koslo turned back the Dodgers, scattering nine hits while the Giants mauled Preacher Roe, Ralph Branca and Rev Barney for Is SOlld WnackS.
 AMERICAN LEAGUE .a
 The Boston Red Sox stormed back into the American League pennant picture as Ellis Kinder pitched the millionaires to a bril- liant 7-1 conquest of the pace setting New York Yankees.
 Kinder gave up four singles, walked nine and famed eight in fashioning his 18th victory of the season and his ninth straight. The triumph moved the sox to withinpa game and half of the Tanks. 1T
 Johnny Pesky started the Red Sox scoring with a two-run homer in the third. Bobby Doerr clouted his 18th off starter and loser Ed Lopat in the fourth and the Sox were in.
 The third place Cleveland In dians advanced to within five games of the Tanks, beating the St. Louis Browns, 5-2, behind the six-hit pitching of rookie Mike Garcia.
 Philadelphia turned hack the Washington Senators, 5-2.
 The Chicago Cubs ripped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-1, before 1905 fans, smallest Pittsburgh night crowd of the season.
 The scheduled night game be- tween Philadelphia and the Braves in Boston was rained out. The De- troit Tigers and Chicago White Sox were idle

ARNOLD TE5TIFIE5
 FOR HARRIS co.
 IN TRAP TAX CASE


 fishtrap tax case was legal battle of wits, literally, as even the wit ness being cross-examinad is a lawyer-and former judge.
 The witness, W. c. Arnold, is CO., counsel for P. E. Harris and Com pany, which brought the suit against Tax Commissioner M. P. MuIaney, and for partners in the Mutual Trap Company, intervenors. He is generally called Judge Ar hold, dating from his years as US. Commissioner at Hyder and Ket- chikan.
 However, it was chiefly in Ar holds capacity as Managing Direc- tor of Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, that the Harris Company attorney, Frank L. Mechem, called him to the stand at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 A minor contretemps resulted, as the attorney to argue the case could not testify, too, unless oppos- ing counsel would waive objection.
 I'd rather hear him only once! exclaimed Attorney General J. Gerald Williams, but I'll waive oh, I'll waive!"
 On direct questioning yesterday, Arnold gave figures summarizing several voluminous detailed ex- hibits, to show that the Harris Company would have sustained a loss of some $3,90o,oo0 in the eight years just past, had the new tax measure been applied to opera tiois.
 Incidentally, while answering Mechem's questions. Arnold gave a comprehensive dissertation on the construction, care and operation of standing and floating traps.
 FISH PRICES
 Mechem's questioning was on proper methods of determining the. fair market value of trap caught raw salmon. Arnold replied that they are t-ased on supply and demand, and competitive prices of fish taken with mobile gear. He explained that Salmon Industry, Inc, on behalf of the operators, ne- gotiates annually with unions, on behalf of their members.
 Direct examination ended at $40 pm. yesterday, and court was ad- journed until this morning.
 Today's cross-examination by the Attorney General tried, so he stated, ito bring out the fact that the standard fish prices are arrived at by collective bargaining and do not represent the true market price, nor are they governed by the law of supply and demand"
 This was in pursuance of yester- days cross-examination of William J. Fronk, C.P.A., to establish that, even with the increased taxes, the canneries in question would have shown profits.
 LEGAL DUEL
 This mornings interchange pro- vided the numerous spectators with a legal duel in which the fencers used well-sharpened rapiers. With thrust, parry and teint, it was more entertaining than the first two days and involved such trivia as Your exhibit" No, that's YOUR ex- hibit," and a little repartee over "infinitesmal'
 Several times, Judge George w. Folta cautioned Williams that un- due time was lceing taken in bring ing out, bit by bit from the wit ness, evidence which is in front of you"
 Court adjourned at noon, the case continued to Monday.
 Harris and Company, with the intervening Mutual Trap Company seeks a permanent injunction re- straining the Territorial Tax Com missioner from collecting the in- creased trap tax established by the 1949 Legislature.
 A temporary restraining order was granted by Judge Folta June 18.
