FEDERAL WORKERS CHOOSE ". HEI5EL A5
 NATIONAL DELEGATE

Walter B. Heisel, veteran Juneau customs deputy collector and ap- praiser, was chosen unanimously to- day by the National Federation of Federal Employees to represent them at the federation's annual national meet schduled for Septem- Der in Los Angeles.
 The decision was made at this noon's luncheon meet in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel, fol- lowing recommendation made by Ava Blackerby, appointed last month as a committee of one to nominate delegate and draw up resolutions to present to the na- tional convention.
 Heisel, a delegate once before to similar convention from Juneau, is the only charter member left in the Juneau local, organized in 1920. A sum of $6O was voted him to pay his registration fee and for living expenses while in the southern city. He will pay his own transportation costs, as he plans his annual leave coincidental with the convention.
 Blackerby drew up four resolu- tions for presentation to the con- vention for their action. Passage by the local group was deferred to give all an opportunity to present other recommendations and for the four to be drawn up formally.

They were that CD fed- eral employees in Alaska be given regular classified status. heretofore denied most territorial Federal workers; @ the compensation act be liberalized to provide 66 2-3 per- cent of base pay plus cost of living allowance instead of the present base pay allowance only; (3) that the maximum" term be eliminated in the 25 percent cost of living allowance for those working in Alaska, because remote stations cost more than that sum, and (4) that retirement be figured with the cost

 The Alaska Development Ad- ministration bill, greatly revised from it's first abortive try, was discussed by Kadow with Cover nor Gruening, Delegate Bartlett and others. and all were in agree ment that some type" of legisla- tion similar to it would be de- sirable for the Territory, he said.
 Nothing will be done this year toward presenting the bill, he said, but he expressed hope biz effort would be made at the next session of Congress to push passage Of the plan. No reaction has been forthcoming from either the budg- ct bureau or President Truman as yet.
 Exact nature of the bill has not yet been determined" Kadow said. but the general outline of the bill submitted seemed accept able to all.'
 From observations, Kadow be- lieved chances for Alaskan state hood now stand about a '50-50 chance" in the Senate committee room. Date for hearings has been set for April 24.

ANGELS BLAST 50L0N5

ASSOclated freSS Sp0rtSWrltcT)
 What Los Angeles needs is more Sacramentos in the Pacific Coast League.
 The Angels knocked off the Sol- ons 7-3 last night in their series openers. It marked the sixth time this year that the Angels have wal loped Sacramento. masmuch as LOS Angeles has won only seven games, the Solon help has been consider able.
 Bob Muncrief went the route for the victors, allowing only eight hits. Two of those, however, went out of the park on homers by Herm Reich and Jim Steiner. Muncrief is the first Angel hurler to go the route since March 30. The win snapped an Angel loss streak at six.
 In the only other game of the night, San Francisco's lefty Al Lien pitched superbly to silence San Diego's power to 1. The ball park was still filling up when the Seals had the game won. First sacker Les Fleming smacked a three run homer in the first.
 San Diego's loss and rain in Portland combined to put Hollywood a full game in front of the Padres. Portland and Hollywood set no date for the makeup game as only S single game will be played tonight.
 Oakland and Seattle also were washed out last night but will play two games tonight.

DOPE GIVEN
 ON AMERICAN LEAGUE RACE
By JACK HAND

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. April F -REThe Boston Red Sox loog like the class team of the American League with awesome power anG enough pitching to win the pen nant after two close misses.
 All they need is a swift boot out of the starting gate.
 Joe Mccarthy, away from the World Series since 1943, figures to get the Sox off fast and slide home Oct. with a little to spare. Marse Joe knows he can't afford another logy start.
 Just as warning, we handed out the same Red Sox pennant pick the last two years. Look what happened. Cleveland in AS and the Yankees last summer didn't pay any atten- tion.
 New York and Detroit probably will make the most trouble with their fine pitching staffs. The Tanks also have that strong bench" to help in case of emergencies.
 Cleveland has too many infield "ifs" despite prospects of great sea- sons by pitchers Bob Lemon and Mike Garcia. Lou Boudreau and Joe Gordon must come back to make the Tribe contenders all the way. Philadelphia's sore arm epidemic cooled off the As as a flag hope. Ii Joe Coleman and Dick Fowler arc in serious trouble, they are in tough shape. The other clubs are just in there to fill out the race.
 Here's the way it looks from here
 l. Boston
 2. New York
 3. Detroit
 4. Cleveland 5. Philadelphia
 6. Chicago
 2. St. Louis
 8. Washington
 As for Boston, the Sox wound up last season with 21 straight at Fen way Park they start the new campaign with 9 of their first 30 games at the same park with it's friendly left field wall.

of living allowance added to base pay in granting retirement.
 Notification from headquarters was received that the 25 percent cost of living allowance was granted Alaska workers one more year, with Hawaii federal employees cut to 20 percent. The grant is made on a yearly basis.
 Annual Leave Bill
 Word was received from Alaska Delegate E. L. Bartlett that bill to reduce annual sick leave and regular leave was killed by the Sen ate, but that another bill has been introduced in the House which would require annual leaves to be taken during the year they arc earned
 It has been the practice for Alaskan employees particularly to save up leave for several years, to give them more time in the states. This practice would be cut out by the proposed legislation.
 A letter of protest was written national headquarters regarding this, and Bartlett said that he had asked amendments to allow Alaskan employees to save up leave for two years, because of hardships which would be worked on Alaskan en- ployes, particularly one-man posts. Also, unlike federal vacations else where, here a federal worker wishes to go outside, which takes more time and expense than such trip would involve stateside.

had not met another English girl
since coming to the United States
