Air Force Squadron Lose 10 Moose by IS
 Points in Game Friday

With 2l straight wins to their credit the Has Alaskan Air Com mand Squadron basketball team from Elmendorf Air Force Base went down to defeat last Friday at the hands of the Palmer High School quintet.
 The Palmer Moose were well aware that the team was facing a formidable opponent with a reputation of being unbeatable with 21 straight wins. The Moose played 1t sa1e and stuck rigidly to the shifting zone defense, for which Palmer has become noted.
 Miles on the Moose team, in l the first three minutes of play had three fouls against him and was substituted by Gus Klem, who immediately went into his Well-knoWn defensive antics. The first quarter ended with Palmer yielding two points to ACCS team and capturing seven for the Moose ln the hotly contested fray. The ACCS was not ready to admit de- feat but they were confused by Palmer's unlocked for style of playing.
 The second quarter was strong and fast with both teams pushing ahead in an effort to capture the half lead. AACS forced a fast break strategy but Palmer was too quick for them and intercept ed everything that AACS could throw. They held AACS down to g points, scoring p for the Moose.
 Still undaunted in the begin ming of the third quarter, AACS came back harder and stronger than ever, still sticking to their zone defense. Their tactics paid off in dividing the points of the quarter between both teams but the Palmer lead at the half was too much for AACS to overcome.
 In the last quarter Palmer fought hard against the AACS with the Air Force quintet push ing for final tally. The Moose proved their mettle by forging on to A to 29 victory.
 Nelson and Pursuit. of the ACCS scored Z3 Of the teams 29 points between them. Nelson was high man for the ACCS with a score of 12 with Pursuit. behind one point with a score of II.
 The close-knit teamwork of the Moose was emphasized in the game Friday night with their shifting zone defense so coordi- hated that it would be difficult to single out any one man, although Thuma had high score of IA points. Lacher and Hiber came through with 10 points each. Burr, a newcomer to the Moose team, gave a smooth demonstration of picking them off the blackboard. | Miles came back in the fourth quarter with another chance to show his hard-fighting spirit.
 The box score:

RAIL STEAMER RATES ON FROZEN
 FISH, REDUCED
Equalization of Rates Via Seattle Same as Prince
 Rupert Routing

Combination rail and steamer rates on frozen fish from Alaska ports east to Chicago by way of Seattle are now the same as those via Prince Rupert, it was announced today by E. M. Stevenson, Northern Pacific Railway representative in Juneau from his Seattle headquar- ters.
 The new capitalized rates have been in effect since June IT.
 For the last five years MT. Stew enson has been working on rate that would give Seattle and the northern transcontinental railways the same chance at Alaska's frozen fish business as Prince Rupert and the Canadian railways.
 The new rate, worked out in col Liberation with the Transconti- mental Freight Bureau and the Alaska Steamship Company will put frozen shipments to Seattle on a competitive basis with routing through Prince Rupert.
 Through rates include handling at wharfage and handling in Seattle and take into consideration the 3 percent federal excise transporta~ ton tax required in this country
 Announcement by Stevenson gives these new rates:
 To points Chicago and west on minimum of 36,O00 pounds for 2 standard freight refrigerator car and 46,OO0 pounds for a car 22oo cubic feet or larger: Ketchikan, $2.44, per hundred pounds; Wran- gell and Petersburg, S2.47; Juneau and Tyee, $252; Sitka and Pelican $253h.
 Fifteen million pounds of frozen fish out of Juneau alone, is an esti- mate of the freight that will have the advantage of the new combined rail and steamer rates provided by the Northern Pacific and Alaska Steamship Company, according to Stevenson.
 The NIP man has been in Juneau for the last week and is to leave today on the Aleutian to cover other parts of Alaska for his company.

 Every sales tax dollar paid by local residents" he said, probably will be matched by a dollar from tourists and transients.
 This is a reasonable and cheap tax" he continued All revenues will go immediately into production Moreover, the cost of collection will be negligible, compared to collect ing the property tax. And the pro- ceeds will be used exclusively for bond retirement"
