that "Red" Barber, radio COM
mentator and part-time columnist
(Journal-American) has explain
ed to millions of baseball fans the
true feeling of Burt Shotton for
pitcher Donald Newcombe, ugly
whisperings have magically died
down on 132nd street and 7th
avenue. With so many of us, it
only becomes right, when some
"white writer or spokesman" gives
the final stamp to the discussion.
I wonder why continued thin
skinness; unreasonable class con-
sciousness; clannishness and bias
prevents some bettors from pre-
senting their viewpoint fairly with
regard to whether the athlete is
black, brown, red or white???
That fellow "Toughie" Barnes
who recently fought worlds welter-
weight CHAMPION Ray Robinson so
stubbornly in the Motor City, is
unrated by writer's. Not ever the
so-called-bible Of fistiana, Ring
magazine, Nat Fleischer, editor,
includes Marines name in the well
ter or middleweight rankings???
Possibly that is why this letter
reached my desk in this connection:
"Dear AL Moses:
81 don't wish to place you on
the spot Al but I must clear my
conscience. Is prizefighting more
crooked today than it was in my
Grandpop's time?? How does a
fighter like Barnes keep out of
the ring news until he crops up
with a sensational stand against
Robinson, = = rated the best fight
er {pound for pound) since the
"Golden Age" of glove fighting??
Did Ray Robinson "carry" Bar
nes??? was it just another Robin
son upset performance like his
fight against Henry Brimm??
"Do these out Of town Ray Ro-
binson fights mean a return go
for the boxer who stays the dis
lance while the Sucker public"
pays big money for admission and
the manager; handlers and MI.
Robinson grow filthy rich while
laughing at us??
"Please write some more arti-
cles on Negro ballplayers who
were as deserving as Jack Robin
son ofthe chance they never got.
THAT one on Joe Williams and
Jose Mendez was a classic, AL.

May Bring Race OF
Ape-Men Slaves

BY Herb Henegan for AMP
WASHINGTON (ANP) The age
old expression "Well, I'll be a
monkeys UNCLE" may some day
become literally a statement of
fact--that is, if the startling>pro-
posal made by a University of
Virginia professor Of physiology
recently is taken seriously.
This individual, DR.. S. w. Brit
ton, dug deep in the bottom of his
brain barrel and came up with an
astounding thesis on evolution and
an ultimate application. of ape
men slaves more useful to us than
our present (human) laborers."
This theory, by the way, was ex-
pounded before the opening sess-
ion of the annual meeting Of the
National Academy Of Sciences,
meeting in Washington last
month. 1t is based upon some my
.stifying supposition that man
evolved from apes through the
process of resisting gravity.
Mating Could Be Done
The mating could be done by

logist, 1--WE set ourselves about the

Lights Now Tell
If Mail Is Out

The most popular question
at the Kodiak post Office rs
the airmail all OUTFITS a
thing of the past.
It faded away Thursday
afternoon under the bright
lights of a new-fangled sign
which tells ata glance whether
the airmail is in (from the
plane) and whether it is out
Tin the boxes).
Weary of answering the
question perhaps a hundred
times a day, Postmaster
Maurice Briggs came up with
the design for the sign, which
was made for him by Bill Crisis.
Above the letter drops, cut
into the wall, is a little glass
window, with the words in
red, "airmail is in' on the top
half, and "airmail is all out"
on the bottom part.
When mail is in, and being
distributed, a bright orange
light shines through the upper
part, Illuminating the words.
When all the mail is in the
boxes, a white light shines be-
hind the lower words to
make them highly visible.
When there isn't any plane,
or any mail, there won't be
any lights (like Thursday,
when the sign was new.

when the plane will arrive. l

Approximately $500 damage

Concrete blocks carried in the
truck were thrown against the
door of the house and knocked

Coach Carpenter
Injuries Eye

Howard Carpenter, local
teacher and athletic director,
was flown to Anchorage yes
terday for treatment of an eye
injury received in a practice
basketball scrimmage at the
navy gym at MOB Wednesday
evening.
A navy plane took Carpenter
to Anchorage, as it was the
first available transportation
from Kodiak to the mainland.
A navy doctor said the vi
sion of the eye was not i'm
paired but that it was thought
advisable to send Carpenter to
DR.. Milo Fritz, Anchorage eye
specialist.
Carpenter received emer-
gency treatment at the navy
dispensary and remained there
overnight. He had planned to
accompany the high school
basketball team to the Fur
Rendezvous tournament Mon

When the accident occurred
Carpenter was sending the
Kodiak Bears through a train

the tournament.
Before he left, Carpenter

remain in Anchorage to super
wise the team there when it
arrives Monday for the tourn-
ament.

City Water Supply Now
Coming From Big Lake

Kodak joined the ranks OF
Alaskan cities that are with
out water this week.
Weeks without rain, the
freezing temperatures Of the
past week and theconsumption
Of close to a million gallons OF
water a day forced the city to
issue a shut-off warning Wed.
nesday night. The main line
valve at the city reservoir was
closed in an effort to retain
enough water in the event of a
fire.
The emergency supply al
Beaver Lake where the city
maintains an emergency
pumping station, was also dry,
Mill Vokacek, city water and
street superintendent, told the
council Wednesday night.
Adm. F. D. Wagner, CON-
mandant 18th Naval District,
assured the city that every
effort would be made by the
Navy to supply Griffin Mem.
orial Hospital with water. The
council indicated that tank
trucks would be used.
Meanwhile, the city water
crew is endeavoring to hook
up another emergency system
whereby they can pump from
Big Lake. Over 5000 feet Of
two and one half inch fire hose
will be used and the water viii,
be pumped directly into the
mains.
Residents are cautioned to
boil all water intended for
human consumption.
Previously all water from
the emergency unit at Beaver
lake was pumped to the equal.
ization tank for chlorination.
It was also pointed cut that
after the supply in the reser-
voir is built up and pumping
stops, persons should continue
to boil drinking water until a
notice is issued by the city
health officer.
To accomplish the latest en-.
Urgency hook up 1900 feet of
hose was lent by the Navy
and a pump by the Army.
The KEA strung the necessary
power lines for the pump.
There are many problems
connected with this heck up
and the cooperation of the
public is requested. The sys-
tenn will probably be in opera.
