ANGELS ARE
 CLIMBING Up
 ON BEAVERS
By Associated Press

Without the aid of wires or mir TOTS, Stan Hack, a third baseman turned prestigitator, has the Los Angeles baseball club thinking that it might very well have a lot to say about determining the Pacific Coast League pennant.
 The Angels, seventh in the stand ings last year. are closing in on the pace-setting Portland Beavers. They are just game and one-half be- hind and looking better all along.
 Hacks hustlers popped Joe Cor don's ambitious Sacramento Solons last night, to 3, and got another good pitching performance in the process from Bob Spicer. All other Coast League games were stymied by inclement weather
 The Angels were consigned to second division in the preseason predictions of the experts, but they give no indication of becoming a doormat. Hack, one of the best of all the third basemen, has a comer in third sacker Leon Brinkoff; a fine fielding shortstop in Gene 5a- ker; a hustling and timely hitting second sacker in Jack Hollis, and a long ball-hitting first sacker, Chuck Connors, who has belted nine cir cult clouts so far

CARDS SURPRISE TEAMS
 IN NATL. LEAGUE
By Associated Press

The Washington Senators and St. Louis Cardinals are the real sur prise clubs of the early 1851 season.
 Bucky Harris Senators were con- signed to the second division in pre- season polls. The experts smiled po- litely when Manager Marty Marion and Owner Fred Saigh talked about the "contending" Cardinals. Today both are in first place.
 Washington's dazzling spurt on sensational pitching shot the Sen ators to the front of the American League pack. Six of Bucky's eight starting pitchers went the route. One was lifted for a pinchhitter after eight innings. Gene Bearden the only starter to be knocked out, was sold to Detroit.
 "Go the route or get out" seems to be Bucky's new deal.
 Sandy Consuegra, the second hal of Bucky's rhumba twins, did his stuff on the sorry Philadelphia As last night, with a five-hit, 6-l job Thursday night his countryman Connie Marrero, stuffed a one-hit- ter down the As throats.
 Washington historians claim the Senators are off to their best start in history with 7-1 record. Of course, the As were convenient four-time victims In the last four games, Philadelphia has scored 6 total of two runs. The As have lost eight in a row.

ADDED WING NEW
 SCHOOL TO VOTERS
 MONDAY, APRIL 30

Upon decision of property own ing voters next Monday, April 30 will rest whether Juneau's new school, to be built at l2th and Glacier Way, will have an added wing. Called for in original plans, it is designed to contain two kin dergarten rooms, a cafeteria to serve all of the school, a teachers room, nurses room, office, vault for records, storage rooms, rifle range and additional play space.
 Of the original S750,O00 raised for construction of the school, Sl50,000 has been paid out or com mitted, for acquiring the school site, preparing the ground for building and for architects fees and incidental expenses.
 During early planning of the school building program, it was anticipated that one-half of the building costs would be forthcoming through the General Services Ad- ministration. However, because of federal retrenchment, GSA is now unable to make any commitments on the program, or to offer much hope for the future, it was stated
 Upon opening of bids for the new school, as originally planned, the low bid was S743,65700 and the School Board was forcd to accept an alternate bid of $578,29400 which eliminated the cafeteria wing. The alternate bid furnishes 12 class rooms, an assembly room, and full basement for playroom in the main building. The S200000 bond election was then decided upon to deter mine by the voters, whether or not the cafeteria wing should be added to the present contracted construc- tion. Due to growing scarcity of materials and the fact that the cafeteria wing could be constructed for less cost while the contractor was on the main building job, it was decided to take the problem to the voters.
 The average bond payment is S4l,416 on bonds for which the School District is now obligated. The Tobacco Tax income for 1850 was $35798. Thus, it was pointed out, the school bond tax load would not be as great on the School Dist rict as in the past when it made bond payments to the city of eight and nine thousand dollars a year.
 This years return on the Tobacco Tax will be around $4l,000 and it is estimated that, with the new added tax on tobacco passed by the recent legislature in effect, the sum in the next year will reach S60,000. In all probability, it was said. there will be no greater school tax bur- den on taxpayers than at the pres ent time.
 Polls will be open from 8 am. to ' pm. Persons paying taxes in or out of the city can vote at The Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, but those who pay taxes only in the city must vote there. Polling place at Aux Bay is at the Stanley Jekill residence.
 Youngsters of the high and grade school art classes have co-operated in publicizing the bond election by placing posters in various down town store windows. Eugene Temple was the artist for the poster in the Juneau Young Hardware store window and Rudy Ripley for that In the window at Pan American Airways. Both are students of Max Lewis high school art class. Eighth grade posters are in the Juneau Florists window, which art class is under instruction of Miss Gather inc File.

tions Of newsprint.
MIR. Pulliarn added in a state

peachable authority that Secre-
