curt, like a lot of other boys
has been called to win a bigger
fight than the one for the Ma
tional League pennant. Naturally
it's tough blow to our team but
that's life" Carpenter said.
Simmons Justifies Faith.
The Phillies' president said he
had no immediate plans to replace
Simmons with any one from the
clubs farm system. "Well have
to wait while and see what de-
velops." he said.
Simmons, a native of Egypt,
Pa, came to the Phillies four
years ago after graduating from
high school. A host of major
league clubs tried to sign the boy,
but the Phillies grabbed him for
$65 900. Each season Curt dis
played signs of greatness on the
mound, but he never quite made
the grade. He seemed to lack the
stamina that is so vitally neces-
sary to a consistent winner.
Owner Carpenter and Manager
Eddie Sawyer were patient. They
agreed with baseball men from all
over the league that the slim
built kid with the blazing fast
ball would find himself and more
than pay off for their investment
in time and money.
This year Simmons grew up
He is the leading pitcher on al
young, hustling team that pres
emily leads the National League
and quite possibly may win a
pennant. His call to active mill
tary duty can mean the difference
between the Phillies' first pennant
in 35 years and a second. third
or fourth place finish.

Nine died in the northwest blizzard, seven in crashes of two small planes in rain and fog, and a woman and her three small daughters in an automobile crash on an icy Michigan highway. Other fatalities were caused by the winds, flood and traffic accidents.
 Temperatures were far below normal all the way from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Coast, while the remainder of the nation gen. orally had seasonal or balmy weather.
 The gales which caused consid- eldDie damage along tne northern half of the nation had abated to- day. Damage included ,> disabled power lines at Buffalo and Syra- cuse, NY, and losses of hundreds ol head of livestock in the Northern Plains and Rocky Mountain re- gions.
 Southern California had another narrow escape from cold weather damage to the citrus crops. At Riverside, near Los Angeles, the mercury dipped to 36 degrees early today but Los Angeles had a safe 42.

A(HE50N GETS
 BLASTS OVER CHINA POLICY
Republican Congressmen Aroused-British Also
 Have Growing Pains
(By the Associated Press)

Republican Congressmen, wrought up over the latest break between the United States and Red China, have levelled their guns at Secre- tary of State Acheson, demanding everything from an explanation to 9. resignation.
 Democratic leaders accused the Republicans of trying to make polit- ical hash out of the nations for eign policy in the wordy Senate debate over Formosa and China.
 Senator Lucas of Illinois, the Democratic leader, hurled the charge at COP members who have been storming against President Truman's hands-off policy toward Fofmosa.
 Lucas received a sharp retort from Senator Brewster of Maine, chairman of the Republican Sena- torial campaign committee, who declared it is the Democrats who are churning up the political pot.
 Top British officials are reported seriously concerned over Red seiz- ure of American property in Pei ping, Chinese Communist capital
 Reliable sources in the British capital said government leaders are worried over criticism from some other commonwealth members for recognizing the Communist gov- ernment
 From Formosa came word that more than 100 Nationalist planes and few warships were pummel- ing Communist invasion craft massed on Luichow peninsula for the invasion of Hainan Island off the China south coast.
 The attacks were designed. to cripple the Reds who are trying to mount an attack on the big island which served as ore of the main bases of Japan's wartime southward Pacific advance.
 Other Formosa dispatches said Nationalist Governor Ho Kuo- Kwang was strengthening his grip in the far inland province of Si- kang, bordering Ticet. The reports said Ho has promised all persons who return to the Nationalist fold that they will be pardoned and well treated.

HOUSING COST BARS DEFENSE

Army Tailoring Needs fo Meet Alaska Pri(es-
 Transport Handicap
By ELTON c. FAY

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16-tR- Insufficient housing is described as the biggest but not the only problem in building up the defenses of Alaska against any surprise at tack from Russian Siberia.
 This was the explanation given today by military men concerned with Alaskan defenses when asked about reports that the Territory now is virtually defenseless. Gov ernor Ernest Gruening, in a mass meeting here last week, declared that Alaska could be captured "by a minor scale airborne invasion"
 A start has Teen made on strengthening the far north de- fenses-but it is only in the earliest preliminary stages. The previous session of Congress authorized an expenditure of $96,0O0, ,000 for build ing new barracks and houses for garrison forces in Alaska. The Air Force assigned $3l 100000 of it's funds for the current fiscal year to be used in speeding construction of a radar aircraft warning and control system in Alaska.
 Defense experts say some of the complications of carrying out the program are these.
 COST HIGHER
 Money for building in Alaska doesn't buy as much as it does else where. A house that costs $l0,00o in the states, costs s50.0OO or $60, ,00O

 WASHINGTON = When John Maragon was indicted by Federal Grand Jury last week, it climaxed a 3-year -old newspaper expose by Drew Pearson in which Maragon at one time used the prestige of the White House to try to get Pear son indicted.
 Beginning in March, 1947, Pearson had unfolded an amazing story of the former Kansas City bootblack, who was able to denote an Air Force Brigadier General, who rode on the Presidents special train, who sat in a box adjacent to the President at the Army Navy game, who stood on the bridge of bat tleship with the President when the fleet was reviewed, who treat ed Cabinet ladies to free perfume and supplied White House friends with free liquor.
 Among other things, Pearson told how Maragon once pleaded guilty to transporting liquor illegally. and dug up various incidents of Mara gons past, including the fact that he was fired by the State Depart ment from a position in Greece. Nevertheless, Maragon continued to have free run of the White House and appeared to influence the Pre- sident on some policies, including

HAP ARNOLD
 DEAD AT 63; BODY TO EAST

isONOMA, Calif., Jan. 16-Rt- Gen. Henry H. (Hap) Arnold, Amer icas ranking airman of World War II and a pioneer of US. Military aviation, is dead at 63.
 The nations first General of the Air Force succumbed suddenly to a long ailing heart Sunday at his ranch home 40 miles north of San Francisco. He retired to that quiet Valley of the Moon June 30, 1946 after periodic heart attacks for two years.
 Arnold's physician, Dr. Russell V. Lee of Palo Alto, said the Gen. eral should have retired after his first heart attack in 1944, "but things were hot then and he de- eided to take his chances with the rest of the soldiers and went back to duty"
 The wartime Chief of the Air Forces will be buried in Arlington Cemetery, Washington, DC. The funeral is set for Thursday after noon.
 The tody was resting today at a funeral parlor here. The body will be taken to nearby Hamilton Field and flown to Washington, DC, Tuesday Qeaving at 5 pm. PST.
 The family had not decided whether to hold services here.
 The nations military leaders from Secretary of Defense Johnson down-expressed shock and sorrow at Arnold's death. They praised him as the man most responsible for Americas air strength and said he was a key figure in the Allied defeat of the Axis.
 ONE OF FIRST
 Arnold was taught to fly by the Wright Brothers in 1911. Just four years out of West Point, he was one of the first officers assigned to the infant air force--then a branch of the Signal Corps.
 From then on, Arnold's career wrote many of the highlights in the military air history of America. He, became Chief of the Air Corps in 1888.
 iThe six-foot Generals smiling face earned him the nickname of 'sHappy"-later shortened to Hap" But he know how to get tough and was noted for getting things done. Arnold saw the Air Force grow under his guidance from 15,000 planes and 96,O0O men in 1883 to more than 10000 planes. and some 2,2OO,O 900 men in 1945.
