Advocates of "Wide Open Gambling Forced Barr To Quit as Marshal
ZAP Special Washington Servicel

WASHINGTON, (P) - One of Alaska's U. s. marshals has quit his job, attributing his decision in part to opposition by advocates of "wide open" gambling.
 Besides, Frank Barr wrote the Justice Department, he has been offered job by former en- ployer paying him nearly S200 more month than his pay as marshal of Alaska's Division Four.
 Barr said in his letter of resig- nation:
 Since taking office, I have been successful in keeping the gambling closed down in this area, but there has been an organized campaign to discredit me by the gambling element, aided by quite a few townspeople and merchants who want a wide-open town"
 Barr said that his opponents seemingly have been successful in implanting suspicion and dis trust in the minds of his super iorS, making it impossible for him to continue his work.

Expedition Finds Ancient Mound

An old Aleut mound, which may turn out to be one of the most important ones yet to be studied" was found this summer near Unalaska, Dr. Ted P. Bank, director of the University of Michigan exped- ition to the Aleutians, has an- nounced.
 Dr. and Mrs. Bank and their party were in Kodiak early this summer enroute to the westward to continue their anthropological studies. They left for the states via Seward this week.
 An excavation on Elder Point, about ten miles from the Aleut mound, disclosed an- other one, and although "close together, the two sites proved to show totally different cul- tural assembleges, Bank wrote the MIRROR.
 Violent winds and rain ma- rooned the party at Elder Point for four days, he added, and i've ate everything in sight, tried seaweed soup and all of the foods the environ ment offers. ''
 Tt proved to me that one need never fear starvation in the Aleutians, at least never in the summer, for we were all healthy and well-fed, and were able to continue working without any interruption" he added.
 Before going to the vest ward, Dr. and Mrs. Bank spent several days in Kodiak on their work, and expressed a desire to make this perman- ent headquarters in the future.

|Standen Wins Mound Duel

out, Bobby Kodama kept things a
live with a line single to left center
field, advancing Nakashima to third.
With Ken Yoshinaka batting, Ko-
dana stole second to put two men
in scoring position.
Then came the break that meant
the ball game. Yoshinaka hit an
easy infield ground ball which was
pegged away at first and while the
ball was loose, Nakashima and Ko-
dana scampered across the plate
for the two telling runs.
Except for that inning, Iwasaki
never faced more than three oppo-
nents each time he took the mound.
In the second. HOWE Inouye singled
but was cut down on a double play,
and In the seventh Larry Asaba sin
gled but was wiped out trying to
steal. Only 26 fVoys went to bat In
the eight frames they were up,
which is two over par for the course.
For the Nisei Vets, it was a case
of lost scoring chances, as Standen
(who, incidentally. was out on a
pass from FIT. Lewis slammed the
door shut every time anything got
started.
In fact the Vets opened the game
by getting Gaylord Twasaki and Ray
Saito on third and first, respective
ly, but couldn't punch them across.
The fifth frame saw Heat Heyamo-
to reach third as the result of a
couple of boots with only one away
but he was left stranded. In the fl
nal four innings, the NvCers got
the lead-off hitter on base three
times to no avail. Seven runners in
all we're left high and dry on the
bags.
"Dickie" and his teammates play
ed courageous ball in the tight spots
to make the victory possible.
Due to the scrambled scheduling
of postponed and makeup games,
the Puget Sound league standings
are uncertain at this time, but the
Savoys are no worse off than tie
for second and are no more than a
game and half away from the top
spot. The league-leading Sand
Point team was dumped Sunday and
at least one other top team was up
set.

Behind the masterful six-hit
pitching OF Dick Standen. the bat
Ting Savoys gained revenge 20
shutout win Sunday over their arch
rivals, the Nisei Vets. at Rainier
playfield in Puget Sound Semi-pro
Baseball league feature.
For the winners, the victory was
the fourth straight and the eighth

was loss No. against triumphs
in PSI competition.
But more than that. the contest
showed that although the NvC nine
had better men. position for posi-
ton, than the unheralded 'Voys. as
team they lack that necessary
something to be consistent win
ner. Whatever 1t is they are lacking,
it is keeping them from coming
through in the clutches.
AS for the Savoys. the Sunday
whitewashing pointed out without a
doubt that at full strength they are
the equal of any Nisei ball club in
this area. If the draft doesn't punch
their roster full Of holes. they may
yet make their mark as one of the
top postwar Nisei mines.
As was their initial meeting. when
the Vets were victorious AZ in II
innings, the second game was a
tightly contested pitchers battle
that had the good-sized crowd
hanging on the edge of their seats
to the very end.
Hooked up against Standen was
George Iwasaki who twirled a spec
tacular effort. giving up just four
safeties and striking out eight. How
ever, he was the victim of one bad
inning when the Savoys took adj
vantage of their only scoring oppor-
tunity of the entire afternoon.
This came in the third inning.
Pancho Nakashima started 1t off by
betting line drive right to pitcher
Iwasaki who, in self-preservation,

made, Nakashima had reached first

The ProwIer" Is Strong
Picture That Pulls No Punch
Tells Story Of an Outside Child

Hollywood, for a long time now,
has kept pace with Europe's loudly
acclaimed school of realism typi-
fled by RoSsellini and De Sica. Ex-
emplified by such films as Double
Indemnity" THE Lost Week End, y
Home of the Brave" Body and
Soul and Sorry, Wrong Number"
screen producers definitely feel that
they are on the right track, cine
matically speaking, when they offer
the picture-going public strong,
vital stories that pull no punches.
The latest addition to this taut
school of realism is S P. Eagles
production, THE Prowler," which
stars Van Helm and Evelyn Keyes.
Beginning, just as it might in real
life, with face peernig through a
window at Evelyn Keyes and her
subsequent call to the police an
nouncing prowler, the picture
skilfully builds, scene upon scene,
with growing pace and suspense
b
that holds its audience absolutely
spellbound until its ruthless, heart
soaring climax is reached like a
mighty crescendo. A United Artists
release, the film is slated to open
on Sunday at the Amite Theatre.
