SECOND GROUP
 OF CG FAMILIES
 ARRIVES IN CITY

Through a misunderstandina somewhere along the line of off cialdom. staff members of the 17tf US. Coast Guard District Head quarters here find themselves in dilemma.
 They had been told that no more Coast Guard personnel would be sent to Juneau until housing was assured.
 Yet 28 men, women and children disembarked last night from the Baranof, most of them pleased and excited over the prospects of liv- ing and working in Alaska, and in Juneau.
 This brings to 59 the number of Coast Guard staff members and their families newly arrived in Ju- neau. Thirty-one reached here Au- gust 30.
 Juneaus city officials, Chamber of Commerce leaders and other civic minded citizens likewise are in a dilemma. They have tried earnestly and untiringly to solve the housing problem, and several times thought the solution was in sight.
 Housing Question
 Now. housing for the Coast Guard" has become, not just an impersonal phrase, tut a question of that nice little woman and those darling youngsters-where can they find placer"
 Anyone able to offer even tenn porary help in solving the problem is asked to call Ut Comdr. Edward P. Chester, Jr., at Blue 820. Ches- ter has been conducting one-man survey for months, and still hopes to get every Coast Guard family tucked happily away in and near Juneau.
 Perhaps some Juneauites will re- cognize the names of friends, or friends of friends in the list of new arrivals, and offer at least temporary roofs.
 Group Arriving
 In the group which came on the Baranof yesterday are Warrant Officer Joseph M. McGahee, with Mrs. McGahee and two small child ren; Chief George A. Michaud, with Mrs. Michaud and their four child ren; Storekeeper and Mrs. Thomas McIver, Jr., and three children Radioman and Mrs. Homer H. Ham ilton and one child; Chief Albert A. Doris and Mrs. Doris, and these men who hope to send for their families soon, after finding living quarters: Chief John H. Estes James A. Doyle, Franklin J. Moore, G. V. stauffer, George Taylor, Joe G. Stanton, Donald J. Kane and Robert M Marts.
 Comdr. D. M. Morrison, ranking officer while Capt N. s. Haugen is out of town, said today that sat isfactory, but not adequate" hous- ing has been obtained for the first group. In all, it is estimated that 50 housing units are needed for Coast Guard families.
 As to definite information on establishment of 17th District of- fices, Commander Morrison said only that his instructions are to inform Seattle when the new Con- munity Building has been inspected and accepted by the Community Building Company. and is ready for occupancy.
 Builders and corporation officials expect that to be accomplished this week.
 Informed sources said today that it may still be possible to obtain housing by bargeloads before winter cote iy,

forceful performance of his screen
career Dorothy Mcclure has never
played more effectively than she
does as Phil's girl. John Garfield
is impressive, too.
The story is of a reporter sent

HOLLYWOOD
TAKES Squirt
IN p(LEAGUE
BY JIM HUBBARD

Hollywood's rejuvenated Stars
may have been snubbed in the Pa
cific Coast League pennant predic-
tons, but right now they're riding
higher than hoop skirt in a wind
Stoim.
A working agreement with Brook
lyn apparently was all the Twinks
needed to hoist themselves from
the sixth place position they held
at the close of the 1948 season.
In fact, it was a Dodger hand
me-down named Willie Ramsdell
who gave the Hollywoods their first
of two victories in Sundays twin
bill with Los Angeles.
Ramsdell, making his first start
of the season. pitched two-hit hall
to thump the Angels, to l. That
one run, incidentally. was un-
earned.
frankie Kelleher's three-run
homer in the first frame put the
Stars in front to stay in the night
cap, when they won, 10 to 2. Thus
Hollywood increased its lead to az
games over San Diego. Sacramento
and Oakland.
RAINlERS DROP BEAVERS
At the other end Of the line,
meanwhile, Portland dropped
further into the cellar by splitting
doubleheader with Seattle. Eddie
Basinskis triple with two on in the
ninth gave the Beavers a 2 to
triumph in the opener. Southpaw
Roy Helser held the Rainiers to
four hits.
Seattle, overcame a six-run def
cit in the second game and won,
9 to 8. The Rainiers collected three
homers during the fracas.
Xavier Rescigno, fiery San Diego
highlander, uncorked a one hitter
to give the Padres to l win
over Sacramento in their second
game. The Solons, battling with
San Diego for second place, cop
ped the curtain raiser, 6 to 5.
SEALS SHUT OUT
San Francisco and Oakland also
split a pair Sunday. Elmer Single
ton produced a six-hit Ito shut
out for the Seals in the afternoon
game.
In the morning game, played at
San Francisco, Oakland pounced
en- Seals hurler Jack Brewer for
five runs in the first inning and
Lefty O'Douls boys couldn't catch
up. Oakland took the game, 7 to 2.
Pei teams do not resume until
Tuesday with San Diego at Los
Angeles, Hollywood at Portland,
Oakland at Seattle and Sacramento
at San Francisco. A seven-game
series is scheduled in each case.

yeIlatorS in
Win Streak;
Real puzzIer
BY JOE REICHLER.

It's not official yet, but there is
a strong rumor the American
League clubs are planning to ask
Tor Congressional investigation of
the Washington Senators-baseball
variety.
They simply can't believe that
the allegedly hitting Sena-
tors, riding high on an amazing
seven-game winning streak, have
been using natural batting power.
Washington's' double victory over
the Indians in Cleveland yesterday
was by far the most amazing stunt
of the young season. Joe Kuhe's
unpredictables not only whipped
the world champions in the opener,
7-3, but shut them out in the
nightcap, 20 before 49,734 stunned
Orleans.
GIANTS WIN STREAK
The New York Giants continued
to combine power and finesse to
humble the Chicago Cubs l0-1 for
their sixth straight. The triumph
gave the Polo Grounders undis-
puted possession of first place, as
the Pittsburgh Pirates socked the
Braves twice in Boston, 8-3 and
11-8.
The Giants backed Larry jan
sens steady pitching with 14-hit
attack that included Bobby Thorn
sons three-run homer and Billy
Rigney's two-run triple.
DODGERS DROP CARDS
Brooklyn scored four runs in a
wild seventh inning to come from
behind and defeat the St. Louis
Cardinals, 81. at Ebbets field. The
defeat. dropped the Cards into a
last place tie with the Cubs.
Cincinnati and the Phillies di-
vlded a double header in Philadel-
phia. The Reds won the opener
14-7 with a seven-run 18th inning.

Unwed Father Loses Fight;
No State Law Covers Case
By the Associated Press


LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15.-The
case of CT student seeking to
have himself legally named father
of a boy born to an unwed mother
is so unusual that no California
law covers the situation.
+ This was the ruling Of Superior
Judge Arnold Praeger yesterday
to an objection to Leroy Hedges
paternity suit filed by Miss Loret-
ia Miller, II. mother of Robert
Allen Hedge, aged four weeks.
Judge Praeger pointed out thai
the 21-year- -old Hedge has no lega
right to the child unless Miss Mil
Ter is judicially proved to be ar
unfit mother. Hedge has made nc
plea that she is not fit to care
for the child.
He sued October Is to be named
the father and to assume respon-
sibility for the child's support. He
recently obtained q restraining
order to prevent Miss Miller from
offering the child for adoption.
Judge Praeger yesterday con-
tinued the restraining order for
10 days and gave Hedge that
length of time in which to amend
his complaint to give it legal
standing.
The jurist said it was laudable
for Hedge to want to support the
child but added there does not
appear to be any authority in the
law for this unique action"
Hedges petition stated that for
many and diverse" reasons he
and the girl cannot marry.

TONERS (railroads) to experiment

Commissioners Clyde B. Aitchi.
son, William E, Lee and Walter

fie's views.
The ICC majority asserted
however:
1T is clear that petitioners are
in need of additional revenue ano
that the increase sought of $37,-
100000 will not be an unreason-
able contribution to such rev.
enue need.
1.-The proposed fares will still be
relatively, low in relation to pc
titioners' increased expenses and
to the level of incomes and prices
generally.
Experienced traffic officers OF
the petitioners were unanimous
in the view that the proposed in
creases would not result in a sub
stantial diversion of the travel
hereunder. Such diversion for
the petitioners collectively is esti-
mated at about 2 per cent"
