Series Notes
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5.-A fan
who rode a bus 27 hours, then
stood in line for nine hours to win
a place among the first hundred
bleacherites to enter Shibe Park
yesterday. grabbed the No. / spot
for today's game. -
To make sure he would be first,
Ralph j. Belcore. 36, of Chicago
left the park before the start of
the ninth inning yesterday. He
parked himself on a peach basket
at the bleacher entrance. He had
a good 10-minute start on other
enthusiasts.
The 10 defeat suffered by the
Phillies yesterday was the club
fifth straight World Series loss.
They won the 1915 opener, 81,
behind Grover Cleveland Alex
ander for their only Series VIC
tory and then lost the next four
to the Red Sox-all by one run.
One of the saddest Phillies fans
after Vic Raschi shut out the
Whiz Kids was Sergt. Cy Kappa
port, an amputee who has been
at the Philadelphia Naval Hospi-
tai % years. Cy tossed out the
first ball to start the Phils' sea-
sons in 1949 and 1850. He still
thinks the Whiz Kids have enough
fight to win the Series.
Using the first letter in the
names of the Phillies batting
order for today's game with the
Yankees, Philadelphia columnist
came up with this bit of en-
couragement:
win and show everybody Just
how Sawyer's Guys Rate"
The batting order: Waitkus,
Ashburn, Sisler. Ennis, Jones,
Hammer, Seminick, Goliat and
Roberts. @t- ''fI#@ 4.-f941 -

chose Hopp for his pesky quail
ties as a pinch-hitter and fol
his defensive ability in the out
field and at first base.
Hopp Comes Through.
In the ninth inning yesterday
Hopp made Stengel look good as g
crystal ball gaZer. At time
when the Yankees were hugging
10 lead with one out, Hopp
playing first base streaked far tc
his left for Richie Ashburn's siz-
zling shot down the line. speared
it and beat Ashburn to the bag
1t was labelled double" from the
time 1t left RICHES bat, but all
of sudden it was an out.
| Dick Sisler struck out to end
the game and maybe Del Ennis
next man up would have done
something equally inconsequential
Nevertheless, it was Hopp who
prevented Ennis, the Phil's clean
up hitter, getting to the plate for
fourth try against big Vic
Raschi, who pitched a neat q
hitter.
With that one play, Hopp con-
firmed Stengel's reputation as a
master mind who was willing to
risk criticism by making a move
he must have known would be
unpopular. With that play, too,
Hopp made comparative bum of
Billy Meyer, manager of the
Pirates.
When Meyer had Hopp. who
was hitting $40 for him this year,
he used him strictly for offense.
On the rare occasions when the
Pirates commanded a lead in the
late innings, Meyer yanked Hopp
and inserted Jack Phillips or Dale
Coogan for defensive purposes
Stengel playes 1.-THE opposite way,
sending in Hopp, for Johnny Mize
as q defensive measure.
Raschi in Trouble Once.
Hard-heartedly, Stengel struck
Heinrich off the series list. Senti-
mentally, Stengel was wrong, but
Hopp's one play may have made
the New York manager right as a
tactician.
Raschi permitted both the Phils
hits In the fifth inning and that
was the only time he was in
trouble. He retired the first 13
batters in order before Willie
Jones singled over second with one
out in the fifth. He disposed of
Granny Hammer. but Andy Semi
nick lashed a solid single to left
which sent Jones to second with
the potential tying run. Raschi
got out of trouble by striking out
Mike Goliat.
Eddie Watkins walked with one
out in the sixth, but be became
the last of the Phillies to reach
base. Raschi retired the last II
straight.
While Raschi became the 18th
pitcher in World Series history to
hurl a 2-hitter. Jim Konstanty
was only slightly less terrific. For
the first time since mid-1948, the
veteran right-handed reliefer was

Cops Almost Keep
Tommy Heinrich
Out of Clubhouse
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S.
Tommy Heinrich discovered
that fame fades fast.
1t was only a year ago that
the veteran Yankees out
fielder was World Series
hero. His ninth inning home
run defeated Brooklyn, 10,
in the first game of the 1949
Series.
Special police guarding the
Yankees clubhouse yesterday
required considerable con-
vincing before they permitted
the unrecognized Yankees
outflelder to enter the dress
ing room.
Who are you?" was the
gruff inquiry.
I'm a ball player" came
Henrich's simple reply.
Finally, a teammate came
along and told the guard that
Tommy was ball player.
The teammate neglected to
add that Old Reliable was
quite a ball player. even
though sidelined by injuries
for the current series.

Only Extra Bases Tells,
Konstanty lost the game in the
fourth with the only extra base
blow of the game. Bobby Brown
opened that inning by slicing 8
double down the leftfield line
Brown took third after Hank
Bauer flied deep to Ashburn ir
center and came across after Gerry
Coleman backed Sisler against the
leftfield fence for his deep drive.
Konstanty was superb and or
virtually any other day would have
been winner. He gave up only
four hits in eight innings before

bill.
He told reporters he plans a

President Wants Passage
President Truman, meantime, was
reported to be insisting on immed-
late passage of the Alaskan measure
as well as the companion bill to
grant statehood to Hawaii.
Delegate Bartlett of Alaska talk
ed with the President at the White
House and quoted him later as say

would want to try to stop the bills
for selfish reasons.
Mcclellan Opposed
Senator Mcclellan (D-Ark) LED
the Senate debate today in oppo-
sition to the motion to bring up
the Alaska bill. He said he would
speak most of the day.
Mcclellan based most of his OPP
position to Alaskan statehood on
grounds that the territory is not
yet sufficiently developed to I'M
dertake the responsibilities Of a
state. He said:
Says Alaska Not Ready
ALASKA has potentialities and it
is highly probably that in the
course of time-and 1 would like
to see that time hastened-that
Alaska will become sufficiently de-
veloped, sufficiently populated, suf-
ficiently strong financially that she
can support statehood adequately"
He also told the Senate THE
nation at this hour is at war" and
that mo one in this government
today" knows for sure whether it
is the beginning of World War III.
Wants Defense Action
The Senate, therefore, he said
should not be taking up its time
with the statehood issue which
can contribute nothing" to the
nations strength.
Instead, he urged dropping the
statehood issue and devoting full
attention to the defense effort.

THREATENS TRUMAN'5
SHORT Term PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, Nov. % - Up -
Southern Democrats, with strong
Republican backing, waged an all
out fight in the Senate today to
block the bill to grant statehood to
Alaska.
President Truman has asked the
short session of Congress to pass the
bill and a companion Hawaiian
measure, both passed by the House.
One Southerner, asking not to be
named, told reporter the dispute
might endanger Mr.. Truman's en-
tire program for the session. The
President has asked for rent control
legislation and big defense appro-
priations, among other things, be-
fore this Congress expires Jan. 3.

Senator Lucas (D-IlD, Democratic
Floor Leader. called the fight fill

statehood bill to death. He voiced
concern over it's apparent proper

The anonymous Southern spokes-
man suggested that he saw little
point in Senate COMMITTEES working
to draft rent control and other adj
ministration measures if admins

hood become a long drawn fight.
The Dixie leadership, however,
gave no hint it might be thinking
of offering to trade its support of
administration bills for abandon

Southerners Object to Statehood
Southern Senators long have OBJ

UNIT AIDS IN RECENT
DISASTER AT BETHEL

Delayed reports just received in
dictate that the Bethel National
Guard unit joined with other mem
bers of that community in giving
relief assistance when the Alaska
Native Service Hospital was des-
troyed by fire November 20. In the
face of bitter cold, the guard
members worked until after mid
night providing clothing, sleeping
bags, blankets and cots to pa
tients and employees who were left
homeless by the fire.
Families in the community pre-
pared food which the guard unit
delivered to patients in temporary
quarters. The Bethel families also
opened their homes for the doctors
and nurses. After the fire, IA mem
bers of the unit volunteered to help
construct a new water system for
the former nurses home which is
being converted into a temporary
emergency hospital.
Headquarters of the Alaska Ma
tional Guard, Juneau, stated that
the Alaska National Guard is a
community organization and ex-
poets to serve its community as well
as the nation. This is particularly
true in small isolated communities
such as Bethel where little if any
immediate outside assistance can
be expected, it was further stated.
In furtherance of this policy, the
Bethel guard unit has organized
a volunteer fire department.
Bethel is located 40 miles from
the mouth of the Kuskokwim River
which empties into the Boring Sea.

sible only by airplane or dog team.

WI SpURNS
SEAT IN U.N.
SEC. COUNCIL

U.N. LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 29-
Rl-The Chinese Communist dele
cation spurned place at the U.N.
Security Councils table today-in
protest against the inclusion of the
Korean question on the Councils
agenda.
President Ales Bebler of Yugo-
slavia invited the Chinese Reds to
take their place at the horseshoe
shaped table when the council con-
vened. Peiping's spokesman, WI
Hsiu- Chuan, remained in his place
at the side of the room. Other
members of the Chinese Red dele
cation remained with him.
The agenda item, as worded,
could place WI in the position of
a defendant faced with American
charges of Chinese Communist ag-
gresSion in Korea. WI, in his first
speech in the U.N. yesterday, OBJ
jected to the Korean item and said
he would not discuss the American
accusation. He also made it clear
the Chinese Reds had no intention
of Withdrawing their troops from
the Korean warfront.
Wu's unyielding attitude has
caused foreboding in U.N. circles
on the chances of localizing the Ko-
rean fighting. This feeling prevailed
even among delegations that urged
bringing the Chinese Reds to Lake
Success in the hope of a con-
ciIatory agreement could be worked
out.

New Plan Of

Korean Situation Desuib-

Says Sen. Tydings

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 - ZAP -
Sen. Tydings (D-Md) said today
after a conference with Defense
officials that mass invasion by
hundreds of thousands of trained
Chinese troops" in Korea calls for
complete new war plan.
Tydings said that at a closed
door meeting with the Senate
Armed Services Committee Defense
officials described the Korean sit
uation as very grave" He limited
the new war plans are being de-
veloped now.
The report came chiefly from 1t.
Gen. Alfred M. Grunther, a top
Army strategy expert, and Under
Secretary of Defense Robert A.
Lovett after the committee asked
Defense Secretary Marshall for
battlefront details.
Tydings told reporters:
The number of Chinese troops
that has been poured in is about
100000 and there is another con-
tinuing big buildup in Manchuria.
So far a terrific toll of death
has been inflicted upon the Chinese
invaders by United Nations and
United States forces with proper
tionately small losses by U.N. and
US. forces. Chinese morale, how
ever, was reported high.
Officials here are weighing all
possibilities, including military, dip
lomatic and domestic in planning
the new Korean defense.
A careful watch is being kept in
Europe and reserves maintained
against a possible move by Com
munist forces there.
At first Tydings said he assumed
that tentative plans included pos
sible use of the atomic bomb in
Korea. Later he revised that to say
he assumed all possible military
strategy was being considered.

BIG ATTACK
BY CHINESE
REDS MADE
Allied Forces Are Fleeing
South in Zero Weather
TO Escape Traps
(By the Associated Press

Badly mauled United Nations
troops streamed south today in
retreat under pressure of a three
pronged attack by 100000 Red Chi
nese in Korea.
The Allied forces poured across
the icy Chongchon river in north
west Korea, to escape a Communist
encircling movement. This was the
point where Friday General Mac
Arthur launched his Inflated end
the-war offensive.
The retreat was carried out in
near-zero weather. Helicopters
shuttled back and forth removing
the seriously wounded from the
front
Field dispatches said withdrawal
of the Eighth Army's eastern flank
was all but completed. But there
were no immediate reports of the
fate of the oath Division on the ex-
IRENE west front. 1t was last re-
ported in the Pakchon area north
of the liver.
Saved From Trap
1t. Gen. Walton H. Walker, back
at the front after an emergency
top-commander conference With
Macarthur in Tokyo, said the as
sault launched by his Eighth Army
five days ago probably saved our
forces from a trap which might
well have destroyed them" He i'm
piled the early attack by the Allies
threw out the time schedule of the
Communists who have another
100000 troops being readied on the
Manchurian border.
Tank-Led Reds
At Kunu on the south side Of the
Chonghon river. Allied units were
being driven by tank-led Commun-
list assault. This was the first mem
ton of armor being used by the
Chinese.
UN. Forces held virtually nothing
east of Kunu Contact with the US.
10th Corps in northeast Korea was
broken.
Hordes of Chinese continued to
pour through the Tokchon gap in
the center of the peninsula. From
here, the enemy has launched a
smash designed to cut off Allied
forces. Spearheads were aimed at
points south and southeast Of Kunu.
The Eighth Army rushed up tanks
and troops in an effort to hold open
an escape corridor to Pyongyang,
former North Korean capital.
Salvage Hopes
Military observers said there was
hope of salvaging enough Allied
manpower and materiel to set up
winter defense line somewhere in
North Korea.
In Washington high US Defense
officials expressed the belief Mac
Arthur has enough machines and
firepower left to prevent military
disaster 1t was up to the United
Nations to decide whether the su-
preme commander will be given
sufficient men and broadened orders
to smash the Chinese offensive.
