PUBLIC GET5D0pE ON SMASH HIT AT
 SINGERS CONCERT

At the March 9 Concert of The Juneau Singers to be given at the 2cth Century Theatre at pm. the public will be treated to the Louisi- ana Hayride number which is ex- pected to be the smash hit of the second act.
 Leading solo roles have been as- signed to Ruth Nelson, Larry Par ker and the Rev. Fred McGinnis, newly arrived pastor of the Metho- dist Church who came from Geor- gia to Juneau complete with a southern accent and a pleasing tenor voice.
 Mrs, Nelson is the wife of Ur- ban c. Nelson, Biologist for the Fish and Wildlfe Service The fam fly arrived in Juneau from Evan ston, Illinois in November of 194S and most of Mrs. Nelson's time is spent in taking care of their home and three small children.
 Mrs. Nelson attended Northwest ern University and had her musical training in Chicago, III. During her school years she sang with the Un- iversity band and later trained especially for radio work, but Mir. Cupid came along and interrupted what might have been a promising radio career
 Mrs. Nelson's solo role comes in the first verse of the Louisiana Hayride, wherein she inquiries of the gentleman (the gentleman being Larry Parker) what kind of gay time he would like to participate in most of all and is quite delighted that after three or four guesses, she hits upon the right one.
 In the second verse Fred McGin- his calls the roll to determine if Maybelle Emmaline, Susan Candy ball. Jasmine Washington and a half dozen others are in the neigh bOrhood. From the responses made by various members of the cast it is obvious all are present and &C., counted for. Then the entire chorus breaks into the refrain with unin- hibited motions from heads to toes to conform to the mood of the song. It is very lively number al- lowing much freedom of movement
 Part of the scenic effects for this number will be several bales of hay

Mr.. Alsop read the kilograms
after relating how he. Mr.. Wallace
and Mr.. Vincent conferred in Gen.
Chennault's house in China on the
necessity for drastic action" to
improve the political and military
situation in China.
His story was substantially the
same as the account given yester-
day by Mr.. Wallace. He conceded
that Mr.. Vincent Influenced Mr..
Wallace to some extent although
Mr.. Wallace apparently had al
ready believed that Gen. Stilwell
might have to be replaced by a
commander who would cooperate
with Chang Kai-shek.
Mr.. Alsop explained that Gen
Chennault was mentioned as a
possible replacement. Mr.. Alsop
said he himself objected because
Gen. Chennault was indispensable
for the air command in China and
also because Gen. Stilwell had
gone to great lengths to blacken
Gen. Chennault's name at the
Pentagon."

Officials pointed out that the
so per cent cut in funds for in
formation employees is actually
retroactive to last July /. Since
nearly four. months of the fiscal
year already have passed and be-
cause of the necessity for giving
accrued leave and 30-day termi-
nation notices to employees. the
officials figure the cut actually
will be about 80 per cent per-
sonnet wise. They will have to
dismiss that much of their stats
in order to stay within the so pei
cent funds cuts for the whole
year.
Exemptions Urged.
Mobilization Director Charles E
Wilson has asked Congress 70
exempt the emergency agencies
from the cut. He pointed out
that the Defense Production Act
under which the agencies func-
ton provides for release OF "full
information" on every action
taken. He said the agencies will
be unable to do this under re-
duced funds.
But since the section is in both
the House and Senate bills, off,
Gals do not believe the confer
ence committee will be able tt

Minor League Chief
Asks Abandonment Of
Baseball Farm System
BY the Associated Press

A minor league president pro-
posed today that baseball aban-
don the farm system and limit a
clubs hold on players under the
reserve clause.
Thomas J. Halligan of Flint,
Mich. head of the Central League
oClass Al. made the suggestions
to House Monopoly subcomlnit-
tee and quoted former Baseball
Commissioner Kenesaw M. Lands
to back up his argument against
the farm system.
Judge Lands, when commits
sioner Of baseball. informed me
before he died that he intended to
abolish the system as being detri-
mental to baseball" he said.
Minor Teams Controlled.
Under the farm system, a major
league club owns or controls minor
league teams. One of the pur-
poses is to train and develop
young players for later use with
the parent big league team.
The subcommittee is studying
baseball to determine whether
some of its operations conflict with
ANTITRUST laws.
Mr.. Halligan suggested putting
an eight-year time limit on the
reserve clause. This is an ar,
rangement under which a base
ball club owns the right to a
players service as long as he
stays in professional ball.
Limitation Angle Elaborated On.
If a player does not qualify
for a major league playing posi-
ton in eight years and if a posi-
ton is not available with the
club in the majors that he has
q contract with, make him q free
agent" MIR. Halligan said.
That would give him power to
negotiate for his own services.
Some major league club might
want him. he said.
MIR. Halligan also recommended
that all major league broadcast
ing and telecasting should be
stopped or that the minor leagues
be permitted to negotiate with the
sponsors of broadcasts or tele,
casts Of major league games.
Reporters to Testify.
Several baseball sports writers
were scheduled to follow Mr.. Hal
ligan on the stand.
Their views were sought on
the controversial reserve clause
and other aspects Of the big
leagues hold on the national pas
time.
Yesterday the subcommittee
heard the president of a Texas
league team call for elimination
Of the farm system.
Bonneau Peters, unpaid presi-
dent of the Double A-rated
Shreveport club. said independ-
emily owned teams in the minors
cannot compete with those in the
farm system. under which major
league owners directly control
thousands of minor leaguers.
Shreveport is one of the two In
dependents in the eight-team
Texas League.

being misleading and untruth-
full" Mr.. Alsop denied that John
Carter Vincent, a State Depart

panied Mr.. Wallace on the China

The witness read numerous ex-

and other documents and claimed
THAT this material clearly showed

dispute Mr.. Alsop's recollection
that Mr.. Budenz had testified that
