CORRECTION

The correct name of the man who rerished in the cabin fire on Glacier Highway Sunday was Mar shall B. Ross, it was learned today from his application for veterans loan.
 Informed sources told the report CT covering the original story that MT. Ross first name was Marvin. " The mistake was understandable since MT. Ross was commonly known in Juneau only as Bud Ross, and his papers had been burned in the fire.

Eastern's 9Th Straight
Practically Assures
Place in PIayoffs
District Interhigh STANDINGS.

The District interhigh baseball
race has reached the two-thirds
mark and, at this point Eastern
is practically assured of a playof
berth. Mathematically, the Ram
blers, who beat Anacostia, 8-4, yes
terday at Anacostia for their sixth
straight series victory, aren't in
yet. They still could be squeezed
out by dropping their final three
games. But it isn't likely.
There are four berths open for
the postseason playoffs starting
May %. With Eastern practically
assured of one of them, Coolidge,
Central, Anacostia and Wilson are
left to battle for the other three.

its position tomorrow when 1t
travels to Western for a game at
$3.50 pm. Other series contests
find Anacostia at Central, Coolidge
at Wilson, Tech at Roosevelt and

costa.
Eastern had trouble before sub
DUNG Anacostia yesterday. The
Ramblers pushed across three runs
in the first inning on walk,
singles by Harry Kallas and George
Billups and Bob Fitzgerald's dou-
BILE, but the Indians tied it up in
their half of the inning on pair
of walks, a wild pitch and singles
by Gene Bowersox and Ken Cum
ningham.
Eastern Tailed two more runs
IN the third and three in the
sixth, while Anacostia could fash
ion only one more run and one
more hit. The Indians, however,
had men on base in every inning
except the fourth, thanks chiefly
to II free passes.
16 Straight for WI.
Washington-Lee has 16 straight
victories to it's credit, following
q 1875 rout of Tech last night at
Arlington. Jack .Fogarty, 6-foot-4
pitching ace, gave up only three
hits and struck out % batters.
Errors helped Tech to it's six
runs.

High officials here studying the
Fuchs spy confession are getting
no comfort from what they read.
The document indicates that
DR.. Klaus Fuchs, the British SCI
enlist. probably had turned over
to the Russians all but the latest
atomic weapon secrets possessed
by this country, it was learned
today.
The confession, delivered to
American authorities this week
by the British, revealed that
Fuchs had passed on to Russian
agents practical as we'll as theo-
retical information on the atomic
bomb and at least highly valuable
theoretical information on the
hydrogen bomb.
Those familiar with the situa-
ton said the German-born phys
icist. who worked on the war
time atomic bomb project in this
country, also could have passed on
highly educated guesses" about
the rate of the United States
atomic bomb production and the
size of this country's stockpile of
such weapons. Both are closely
guarded secrets.
Members of the Senate House
Atomic Energy Committee saw the
confession for the first time yes
terday and studied it in a closed
session with officials of the Atomic
Energy Commission. Chairman
Mcmahon refused to comment
other than to say he was shocked
when the case first broke and II
am shocked now"
