TO develop the standards of local baseball play sgges
tion has been offered that the Nise join hands and form
farm system similar that operated by major league clubs
The only exception that money would not be involved
any of the player dealings.
For instance the Nisei Vets because they in the top

pm. this coming Sunday. April Is,
at Lower Woodland diamond when

Kesamaru based his observations
upon the fact that most of last years

Poison Kato. Club Hori. TAX Yagi,
Ted Matsushita, Ray Saito. Jim va
maguchi. Chuck KinoShita. Sammy
Sakai and Mas Nakamichi to carry

quite a frightening moment in the
second and last shift by Ben Naka-
Ia. a 1853 trundler from Seattle. Ma
kat roared into the last game, need
ing 200 to win The Seattleite, after
doubling in the final frame, was
unable to spill the necessary pins,
falling short of tying Nakamura' S
mark by three pins.
N3kata's scores were 214, 222, 209,
205 and 1876 for 1046. equivalent
to major league scratch 209 average.
The winner. Nakamura, wasn't
doing so bad either. His scratch to-
tai - 979 = was gathered through
games of 800. 214, IT'S 1879 and 179.
Nakamura's average was 1893.
Other prize earners were Tonic

match went.

ring to a loud ovation which surely
was music to their ears.
In the main event, George Dusette

wind being knocked out upon his
landing on the hard ringside floor.

Is This The
American Woy?

WASHINGTON = Selective SER
| vice officials said that the mach
inery is ready-on paper only-for
a fast expansion of draft operations
in case of need and authorization.
A spokesman emphasized that
right now nothing is being actually
done outside of what the skeleton
organization has been doing, since
/, induction calls were stopped in
January, 1949.
That job consists of registering
and classifying young men as they
reach their 18th birthday, keeping
the records, and getting plans in
shape to fill calls for men when
and if needed.
Every state has it's expansion
plans down on paper, the spokeS-
man said. But he pointed out that
there are no funds to carry them
out. Selective service is so broke,
he said, that many local draft
boards are operating only with a
clerk one day a week.

Emmett Ray Feighner. we'll
known local attorney, has filed
nomination papers and announced
that he is candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Judge
of the Superior Court of Mari
copa County. Citizens throughout
the county representing all walks
of Life, he says, have indicated they
desihe his nomination. He states
he has keen sense of justice and
believes in a fair and impartial ad-
ministration of the law, with favor
to none and justice to all.
Having engaged in the active
practice of the law for the past
27 years, he will bring to the
Court the benefit of experience
and training in many phases of
the law, both civil and criminal,
gained in virtually all the differ
ent courts of our country, includ-
ing the Supreme Court of the
United States. The degree of Doc
tor of Laws was conferred upon
him by the University of Colo
rado in 1923, and he practiced law
in that state ten years prior to
moving his family to this state.
He was born on Kansas farm
of Pennsylvania Dutch parentage
55 years ago. He and Mrs. Feigh-
ner own their home, where they
raised their three daughters and
educated them in our local schools.
Each of the daughters are mar
ried and have presented them with
six grandchildren. Each of
their husbands took part in the
past war and Mr.. Feighner was
engaged in government service
during the war. He is a member
of Lodge No. 335 B.P.O. Elks and
Silver Trowel Lodge No. 20, F.
& A. M.
In extra legal activities, he has
been a worker in many welfare
and social groups where he felt
the most good could be accom-
plished, giving unstintingly of his
time and energies. He was ap-
pointed as a delegate and at his
own expense attended an inter-
national convention of a division
of the United Nations in San
Francisco where problems affect
ing world peace were seriously
considered.

Many (oIored Troops
Supporting Combat
Units In Korea

WITH THE EIGHTH ARMY IN
JAAN (NNPA) = Service troops
are essential to what military lead
ers term '1ogistics," particularly
the transportation and supplying
of troops in military operations.
The Eighth Army has its share
of colored service troops, and while
General Douglas Macarthur has
requested war correspondents to
impose self-censorship and forego
the mentioning of organizations
smaller than the Eighth Army, the
5th and 9th Air Forces and the
Seventh Fleet, it is known that
there are a great many colored
service units supporting combat
units in Korea.
1t already has been reported
that with the 25th Infantry Divi-
sion, whose headquarters are at
Gifu, Japan, are the Oath Infantry
Regiment, the 159th Field Artillery
Battalion, the SO Medical College
Company, and the 77th Engineer

Other colored combat units in
the Eighth Army are the 10th and
the 93rd AAA Battalions Also with
the Eighth Army are the 512th
Military Police Company and the
567th Engineer Service Company.
In addition there are seven bands
the 18th, the 10th, the 10Th,
55th, seth, 289th and 291st.
Two fire fighting units are now
detachments B and c of the
8031st Regional Post Engineer
units. They were formerly the
18th and 18th Engineer Fire Fight
ing Company.
The 546th Fire Fighters are still
intact, as are also the 507th En-
gineer Water Supply Company and
the ST. Engineer Dump Truck

cal Dispensary Company, the 567th
Medical Ambulance Company, the

the 516th Medical Detachment,
and the 519th Veterinary Food In

Men Held On
$4,000 Bond
For Rope

and colored offenders in Virginia
was illustrated in Fairfax County,
Virginia. part of the Washing
ton metropolitan area-last Thurs
day in the case of two white men
charged with raping colored
woman seven times during three
hour ordeal on Virginia roadsides.
The two men, Carlton L. Muir
ply, %, and Thomas NJ. Lowrey,
21, both of Alexandria, Virginia,
were held in bond of $4,000 when
first arrested, but Assistant Fair
fax Commonwealth Attorney Wise
Kelly reduced bond on the two
men from $4,000 to $1,000 each.
Their victim is Barbara Scott,
20, of the Dunbar Hotel, divorced
mother of a 2-year-old boy. Police
rescued her from the two men.
Police last Thursday morning
charged the two men with rape
after he found the naked woman
and the white man at $50 am,
last Thursday-an hour after her
companion, James Almond, of 101
street northwest, broke away
from them and ran for help.
The woman and her companion
told the following story:
She and Almond were walking
in the 600 block of N street north
west about 2:o0 am, when a car
pulled alongside of them.
One of the men stepped out and
ordered:
Get in the car. We're taking
you to headquarters. We're from
CID" (the Armys Criminal In
vestigation Division).
After the couple had been
forced into the car, Murphy guard
ed them in the back seat, while
Lowery drove.
The car crossed the Fourteenth
street bridge into Virginia. Lowery
parked the car alongside the road
about ten miles from the District
line.
While Murphy held Almond in
the back seat, LoWery dragged
Mrs. Scott into the front seat and
t t a cke d her. The men then
changed places.
Lowery drove on after the first
attacks. They stopped a few min
utes later and ordered Almond to
get out of the car. When one of
the men took a punch at him, he
broke away and ran.
He telephoned police from
nearby farmhouse and prowl cars
searched the highways. Pvt. T.. D.
Thompson spotted the parked
automobile soon after and arrested
Murphy and Lowery at gunpoint.
Mrs. Scott was in the back seat.
She had put on her clothes and
the men were about to put her
out of the car. They had given
her 25 cents with which to catch
bus back to Washington. Police
took the 25-cent piece as evidence.
Mrs. Scott said later Murphy
had raped her five times and
Lowery had raped her twice.
Police said Murphy admitted in
tercourse with the woman but
claimed it was voluntary" Low
cry refused to talk about it.
Both men were charged with
rape. But their release on bond of
$1,000 each was in contrast with
the treatment accorded the seven
men who were convicted and SEN
fenced to death for the rape of a
white woman in MartinSville, Vir-
ginia. They were denied bail.

Seems as tho Reddy's-7 Crown

our first game in the State Semi
pro Tournament, but we have a
chance to come back when we play
Bagdad Miners on Friday night at
$3.50. So let us all give them our
'hOllerin' support. Every little bit
helps. I'd still like to see them go
up against the Apcos in the finals.
1 still think they can do it with
the right breaks, and Pm hoping
that they get them.
When are you taking off on that
vacation? Or, are you back, all
ready? AS soon as this tournament
lis over I think I'll take the FAM
lily and take off for a week or so.
Where I'll wind up, don't know
probably in the northern part of
the state somewhere. Somewhere
that is cooler, hope. We have a
little camp trailer so we can cook
and eat out. Sort of rough it for
awhile. So don't be surprised if I
drop out of sight for little while.

Visitor From Ulster

1t is gratifying that the arrival in Wash
ington of Sir Basil Brooke, Prime Minister of
Northern Ireland, has not been marred by up-
becoming demonstrations such as that which
greeted his landing in New York.
~ The New York demonstrators had the i'm
plicit encouragement of Mayor O'Dwyer, who
said last month that if Sir Basil should be
welcomed at City Hall "It will be because am
dead" The fact remains, however, that Sir Basil
is in this country on informal mission as the
head of a friendly government. He is just as
much entitled to a courteous reception as would
be the Prime Minister of the Republic of Ireland
During the war, some 100000 American troops
were made welcome in Northern Ireland, with
Sir Basil taking leading part in this program
And Is he said, in commenting on Mayor
oDwyer's remark, 1--WE never inquired whether
they were Democrats or Republicans" That Is
the spirit In which he sq0uld be received here
