His departure was in sharp
contrast to the spring Of 1947

first checked into the Giants
camp here.
He was the rookie bet of the
postwar era. the toast of the

He could pitch, he could hit, he
could play the outfield. His
pitching was no-hit. He hit three

athletic and had starred in high
school at Hondo.

North Pole Base
 May be Maintained To Check Weather

WASHINGTON, (P-An Air Force officer said Tuesday the observation station setup on an ice island near the North Pole may be maintained permanently to keep track of the weather factory" which makes most of the weather for the United States, Canada and Alaska.
 Capt. Marion F. Brinegar, one of the three Air Force men who made the first landing on the floating ice island near the top of the world on March 19 told a news conference the. ice station will be operated this summer and may be continued on through the winter. It is now staffed by six men.
 The weather generated in the area north of Siberia and Alaska flows down from the top of the world to influence the climates of most of the northern portion of the Western Hemisphere.
 Brinegar gave sample of how cold it gets in the weather fac tory" Soon after they landed in a ski-equipped C-47 plane, they discovered that a bottle of scotch had frozen solid and kerosene which was spilled while being poured could be picked as chunks of ice. He estimated the tempera- ture at. that time was about 75 degrees below zero.
 The ice Island now is located at about 1855 to ITO miles from the North Pole. It is about 9 miles long and AZ miles wide, with the thickness averaging 175 feet.

Food Price Boost May Result from Court Ruling

WASHINGTON, (B-A court ruling that wholesale and retail grocers may seek higher price ceilings under the Capehart amendment may have cleared the way for a big increase in the price of many food items.
 The Office of Price Stabilization said Tuesday the Justice Depart ment will be asked to appeal the decision, of the Emergency Court of Appeals, to the Supreme Court.
 The emergency court held Mon- day that the Capehart amend ment to the economic controls law applies to wholesalers and retail CTS as we'll as manufacturers and processors.
 The court thus upheld the con- tention of Safeway Stores, Inc, big food chain, that grocers are entitled to higher ceilings for such things as cereals, syrups, oils, canned and processed foods, nood- les, flour, soups, condensed milk and jellies.
 The amendment grants price adjustments in the ceilings of "any material other than an agri- cultural commodity on the basis of rising costs to the seller. This permits addition to pre-Korean prices of any such costs to last July 26.

$50 Tax Stamp Law
 Declared Unconstitutional By District Judge Welsh

!. PHILADELPHIA, {P)-A six month-old federal law requiring gamblers to buy $50 tax stamp was declared unconstitutional yes terday by US. District Judge Geo. A. Welsh.
 Welsh ruled the law was police measure enacted by Con- gress under the guise of a tax bill.
 The decision was handed down on an appeal by Joseph Kahriger, 36, one of seven men facing trial on charges of failing to buy the stamp.
 In dismissing the action against Kahriger, Welsh said he was not ruling on another section of the act which requires gamblers to pay a 10 percent tax on their earnings.
 A previous attack on the law was made by Hayes L. Combs, a Washington news vendor. He ar gued that the tax was unconStitu- tional because he said it amounted to a penalty in the guise of taxes.
 A special three-judge US. dis. trict court in Washington dis missed the case on the ground it was being asked to issue an in junction to protect criminal en- terprise.

Transplanting of Bone, Pioneering
 Medical Step, Successful at Kotzebue

A pioneering medical step, planned and directed by Dr. P. H. Moore, orthopedic surgeon for AL aska, has had a successful con clusion at the Kotzebue, Alaska, Native Service Hospital. This has been transportation of bone from separate donors in dry ice to a distant center for orthopedic work.
 Dr. Moore stated that for the past three years Mt. Edgecumbe, the Alaska Native Service Medi- cal Center at Sitka, and New York hospitals had successfully used bone taken taken from thoroco- plasty patients on separate ortho- pedic cases. At the time the bone is removed it is given every bac- astrological and laboratory test known to determine its healthi- ness and cleanliness. It is then placed in refrigerators for later use. It has been held for as long as a year.
 This has greatly widened the field for orthopedic work, as the double operation formerly re- -quired on the orthopedic patient involving both the removal of the healthy bone and it's substitution for the diseased portion elimina- ted many who were too ill or too young to withstand the double ordeal.
 At Mt. Edgecumbe a specially constructed insulated box was built. Solid carbon -dioxide (dry ice) which maintains a tempera- ture of 60 below, was flown from Seattle and the bone in sterile containers, was packed in the dry ice for transportation to Kotzebue. a distance of some nine to ten hours flying time.
 At the Kotzebue ANS hospital seven operations were performed using the bone from the distant donors on patients ranging from sixteen months to nineteen years.
 The program was a complete success with no complications de-
