Like the Rainiers the Oaks got of
to a poor start. although it WASH
quite as disastrous as that Of the
Rainiers. During the past months,
the Oaks have been burning up the
league. and as matter of fact, Rich
ards Rangers have actually lost
ground to the Acorns during that
time, although they've cut down the
margin between them and every
other team in the circuit.
The reason for Oakland's steady
climb to the top of the heap isn't
hard to discover. Their tie-up with
the New York Yankees has loaded
the team with solid punch which
is especially terrific in their home
park. an enclosure tailor made for
southpaW pull hitters. No other team
in the league can match, for long
ball power, Dressen's lineup Of slug
gers such as Metkovich, Rapp, Chris

and Galan In addition to all these
power-hitters, the Oaks have the

hits to keep his average constantly

WHAT YOU DO TO WIN

Heres how you take part in this big opportunity! Every issue this news paper will publish Alaskagrams in consecutive order, six each week for l2 weeks-a total of 72 Alaskagrams.
 Each Alaskagram is a group of scrambled letters which form mean ingless words or nonsensical phrase. After an Alaskagram is unscrambled the letters form the name of a place in Alaska; however, there Is one su- perfluous letter which is not needed to form the word.
 All you do is re-arrange the letters to form a single word which is the name of 8 place in Alaska, and you also show which Is the extra letter. For example, the phrase "For change" when 1t is unscrambled equals ANCHORAGE" plus the ex- tra letter "F."
 Just remember that all place-names consist of only one word-and re- member to show the extra letter. There Is only one correct answer to each Alaskagram.

 "The entire flight route of the missing plane will be covered thoroughly if the plane is not found," said Maj. J. C. Smith of the 4th Rescue Squadron, Me Chord Field, Wash.
 Smith is directing search-res- cue operations from here. About 50 air force planes are here from half a dozen States to join in the search, which extends to Anchor age, Alaska.
 Planes and crews that sped here to join in the laregst search of its kind in North American his tory will remain here "for some time," if the missing plane is not found, Smith said.

Search For C-54 Will Continue Till Plane Is Found

nal," Macdonald said, ''but key signal on the distress band"
 At Whitehorse headquarters, the report raised new hopes but was discussed by Rayol Canadian Air Force officers with modera- ton.
 The C-54 which picked up the signals had an experience of its own to demonstrate the difficulty of communications under present sub-zero weather conditions in the north. Macdonald said it tried to radio what it had heard to both Whitehorse and Fort Nelson, but it failed to get confirmation that either had heard it.
 The new development raised hopes for survivors from the miss ing plane after they had sunk to the lowest ebb after the fifth sue cessive day of fruitless aerial searching over vast area of the Yukon.
 The last radio signal received from the missing C-54 in flight was from Snag, Yukon, just across the border from Alaska. That is about 700 miles northwest of the area in which the new hope was sprung.
 After the final Snag report, some radiomen expressed the be- lief it was from an emergency radio.
 If the C-54 succeeded in land ing without a disastrous crash, those aboard would have been equipped for survival in the Se- were weather. Arctic survival equipment and supplies are stand ard equipment in Arctic flying.
 However, Wing Cmdr. Alan Walmsley, head of the R.C.AF. search and rescue headquarters at Winnipeg, said that after the first two days the chances of sur viving a plane crash "deteriorate terrifically each passing day"
 Temperatures yesterday in the search region ran below zero. It was below at Whitehorse.
 The radio signal was the sec ond, and most likely, clue in the vast air search for the C-54 which disappeared into the snow-cov- cred mountains after reporting safely at Snag, Y. T., 300 miles west of here.
 The first big clue was a report of an explosion near CarcrosS, 46 miles south of here. During in veStigation of it, United States air force Dakota crashed into a mountain peak, injuring three of the six persons aboard. They were brought out Of the rough bushland yesterday after the pilot trekked eight miles to the Alaska Highway through some of the toughest country in theworld.
 Investigation still is being made of forest rangers report that he heard an explosion in the Car cross district the day the big transport vanished.
 The search co-ordinator, Air Commodore Martin Costello of the R.C.AF, Winnipeg, said light plane will land beside cab ins in the district and natives will be questioned.

Autopsy May Uncover
Motive for Staying
OF Virginia Girl
By the Associated Press

ROANOKE, Va, Mar. 25.-Po-
lice looked tonight to an autopsy
! report to provide a possible motive
for the mountainside Staying of
pretty Alice Marie Taylor, "a
year old Veterans Administration
clerk.
The States chief medical ex-
aminer authorized DR.. Charles M
Irwin to perform complete post
mortem examination at the re-
quest of city police.

school student reported to police
that Lee Buddy Scott, a class
mate, bore scratch marks on his
face and arms. Scott, also Is,
was convicted and sentenced to SO
years in prison.
Thus far in the Taylor case
police have found most avenues
of investigation cloudy. Foot
prints found at the spot where
Miss Taylor's body was discovered
yesterday morning were almost
obliterated by rain and police said
they were valueless.
A preliminary medical examina-
ton ascribed death to a cerebral
hemorrhage brought on apparent
ly by blows on her head. No indi-
cation was given that sex was
involved.
The body was brought to Roa-
noke from a Christiansburg NOR
tuary as Roanoke police began a
minute check on the girls social

At least two young men, identi-
fled as close friends of the young
woman, were questioned, but both
were released.
Several other friends and mem
bers of the victims family also
were questioned in an effort to
trace the girls movements after
she left her job about 10 am.

physician.
The body was fully clothed, ex-
cepJ for shoes, when it was found
at the foot of an embankment a
few feet off U. s. Route 460, about
five miles northwest of Blacksburg
around 10 am. Friday.
Her stockinged feet were free
of dirt, indicating that she had
been carried from a car and
dropped over the embankment,
according to DR.. r. H. Grubb,
coroner Of Mougomery County.
The young woman's purse, be-
lieved to have contained about
