Plan To Draft
l8Year.Olds
BY ALICE A.

BY ALICE A. sDUNNICAN
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. GAM
p Sem John Marshall Butler (R.,
Md. has expressed opposition to
drafting 18-year-old into military
service.
Speaking at a reception given
in his honor at Paramount Heights,
Md, the freshman senator said he
would vote against inducing the
younger men into the service be-
cause the country has sufficient
manpower without calling in the
1~8-year-old boys before they have
an idea that they are free Ameri-
cans. These young men, he said,
have not yet had a chance to look
around and enjoy life a bit.
The newly elected senator de-
clared that much thoughtful and
prayful consideration is needed to
untangle the international mess
which the world has now got it
self into.

C HISORY WEEK
WHAT 1T MEANS

Sunday, February II, marks the beginning of the
annual observance of National Negro History week. Dur
ing this period, we call attention to the men and
of color who, because of their contributions to advanced
civilization will continue to march across the. pages of
history for centuries to come. During the years we have
been observing Negro History Week, Negroes have had
good reason to hold their heads high despite the fact that
they are, in most instances, considered second class citi-
q zens by those who boast of a belief in a democratic way
of life.
Negro History Week is the fulfllment of a dream
of the late DR.. Carter G. Woodson, probably the greatest
of the Negro historians. By setting aside a period of en-
phasis on the achievements of great Negroes, DR.. Wood
son hoped to acquaint other groups with the part darker
peoples have played in mans progress towards a goal of
highest human attachments That this dream has been
partially realized is attested by the fact that Negro his
tory is now taught in many of the nations public schools,
and other races are becoming we'll versed in the subject of
Negro history.
The achievements of colored people since the dawn
of civilization are legion and sufficiently familiar to our
readers to justify omission from any editorial on Negro
History Week. Rather than repeat what has become an
annual roll-call Of noted Negroes, we ask the question,
what will our place be in the history of the times in
which we live?
The question is more serious than it appears at first
reading, for we are living in one of the greatest eras since
the birth of civilization. We stand, as it were, in the mid
{ die of a century, and we will be remembered or forgot
ton, depending upon how we accept our responsibilities as
members of human society. That responsibility includes
not only pursuit of a political philosophy in keeping with
the ideals of democracy, but creation and perpetuation of
q a moral and spiritual philosophy that will influence an
even greater number of wise but humble, fearless but toll
Grant, human beings.
Only by assuming the responsibilities which these
most perilous of all times demand can we hope to take
our place among the Ralph Bunche's, the Mary Mcleod
Bethune and other contemporary greats whose deeds will
be recounted in future Negro History Week celebrations.

SERVICEABLE SLIPCOVERS
Slipcovers should be designed
for the washing machine as well
as for the sofa and chairs! Think
in terms Of the washing machine
first. The perspiration and soil
that accumulate On slipcovers
respond b est to soap-and-water
cleaning; instability is even more
important than color and pattern.
Washable fabrics offer so much
variety in weave and color schemes
that it's easy to find something
you like which is also safe in suds.
Pre-shrunk cottons save worry in
laundering and many rayon and
other synthetics are washable also.
Whether you plan to make or buy

 Lown pitched the Cubs to 6-l, five-hit victory over Little Rock yesterday in the Southern Associa- tion city. He worked the first eight innings and never was headed after the fifth when Hank Sauer poled a three-run homer.
 Another neat pitching job was turned in by little Con Marrero at Winston Salem, N c. Marrero hurled Washington to a 2-1, two- hit victory over Ken Raffensberger and the Cincinnati Reds. Marrero famed nine.
 The New York Giants slaughtered the Cleveland Indians, 16-4. at Pine Bluff, Ark. Whitzy Lockman got two homers and Monte Irwin, Hank Thompson, Al Dark and Ed Stanky one each to lead the Giants bom- bardment.

One $1-a-year man in the Pacific Coast league got his walking papers yesterday and there are rumors of similar treatment for another-so how low can baseball salaries get?
 Dwindling attendance, constant specter before the eyes of club own CTS these days, was blamed in part ! for reports that Manager Lefty O'Doul, whose San Francisco Seals ' lost 13 straight might resign"
 Sports Columnist Al Wolf of the Los Angeles Times cited the rows of empty seats which he said "all too plainly indicated that most of the citizenry had given up on O'Doul and Co.,"
 ODoul immediately denied that he planned to resign. Seal Owner Paul Pagan and General Manager Joe Oregno also denied the reports.
 Meantime, in Oakland, Dick Wakefield, outfielder. asked for and was given an unconditional release. Wakefield, who hadn't started a game this season, said he quit base ball because he felt he wasn't get ting anywhere. He will try for a job in the majors.
 Both Wakefield and ODoul oper- ate under S1-a-year contracts which permit their clubs to base their ac- tual remuneration on results.

MS COBB FINDS SHRIMpING ONLY
 FAIR, LYNN GAN.

The John N. Cobb, exploratory vessel of the U. s. Fish and Wild life Service, returned to Juneau over the weekend from it's shrimp prospecting trip in the Lynn Canal area. It prospected from Berner's Bay to Skagway.
 c. Howard Baltzo, assistant re- gional director of the Juneau of flee of FWS, said that good trawl- ing bottoms were found to the north but that shrimp showed in only fair numbers. He termed the shrimping as marginal as far as commercial prospects were con- cerned.
 The vicinity of Haines produced 180 pounds of mixed pinks at about fifty fathoms, with drags of half hour duration. In deeper drags, about 90 fathonis. 40 pounds of large side stripes were brought up. However. Baltzo pointed out that this was not too discouraging as during the spring the shrimp seem to move into shallower bottoms and inlets and the Cobb made only cur- sorry examinations.
 He said one puzzling situation was apparently cleared up by the Cobb. During it's prospecting it had seen no Dungeness crab but at one place the trawl was begged down in the mud and uncovered number of crabs which had evidently bur- rowed down into the mud in hiber- nation.
 This week the Cobb will work the Stephens Passage and Port Snettisham region for shrimp. It will return in a few days to pick up Conrad Kneutson, crew member who is in St. Anns hospital. Kneut- son suffered a strained back dur ing the Cobb's last trip. It is then expected the Cobb will proceed south.

 Sure you remember last Septem- Der. How the Whiz Kids wobbled and the awakened Dodgers almost nipped them at the wire. How Leo Durocher's Giants, with Sal Maglie and Jim Hearn flinging shutouts, forged to third place in gallop- ing finish. How the Phils lost four straight to the Tanks in the world series.
 There has been a tendency to write off the Phils as "one time wonders" to say Jim Constantly never can approach his "A superb relief jobs of last season.

80 TRUCKS STALLED
 WHEN SNOW FALLS
 ON THOMPSON PASS

Thompson Pass on the Richard son highway was closed for time Sunday when four feet of snow fell in eight hours on the summit.
 AS an idea of the amount of traf- fic over the pass, A. F. Ghiglione, an official of the Alaska Road Com mission, said that 80 large trucks were stalled on the road awaiting it's re-opening during the eight hour period. Traffic has now resumed.
 ARC is now awaiting news as to the opening of the Haines high way. The Alaska portion, to the boundary, is open but the pass on the Canadian side is not open and is in the jurisdiction of the Can adian government. Last year it opened about June l.
 A report on the slide on the Val dez highway, which injured two men and crushed the automobile in which they were riding was received by the ARC office. It was explained that the accident occurred not from debris being loosened by concussior of the blast but was caused by the rock and dirt which was being blaS- ted from the hillside.
 Two men, walking each way from the scene of the blasting were sup posed to stop traffic beyond the danger area and then signal the man whose duty it was to set off in charge. Tn some manner, signals became confused with the result that the car was caught just at the blast point.
