Worst Defeat for Giants.
Cleveland snapped a three-way
tie for the American Conference
lead yesterday by smearing the
Washington Redskins, 1924, as
the Browns two rivals, the Phila-
delphia Eagles and New York
Giants, were tumbled out of first
place. The Cardinals upset the
Eagles, 1922. while the Giants
suffered the worst beating in their
history, losing to the Pittsburgh
Steelers, 63-7.

Both Quarterbacks Hurt.
The blitz of the Giants at snow
covered Forbes Field began with
the opening kickoff. Lynn Chand-
nois, ex-Michigan State ace, ran
the kickoff back 81 yards for the
first of nine Steeler touchdowns,
Jim Finks took over after that
and threw four touchdown passes
to boost his output for the season
to 18. Gary Kerkorian Clipped
in with eight conversions and a
touchdown pass. The Giants
were hampered by the loss of
QuarterbackS Chuck Conerly and
Fred Benners, both of whom were
injured early in the game. Tom
Landry, defensive back, piloted the
Giants most of the way.
The running of Ollie Matson
and the defensive play of Jerry

System
OF Dodgers Criticized
As Selections Beqin
BY the Assoeioied Press

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. l.
Squawks against the Brooklyn
Dodgers resorting to their Gus
tomary practice of transferring
all their choice, draft-eligible,
minor league material to one
roster to prevent other major
league clubs from choosing more
than one -Brooklyn-owned player
were being heard today as base
balls annual bargain-basement
sale got under way.
Once again the Dodgers were
employing a legislative maneuver
to keep their reservoir of fine
minor league talent virtually un-
tapped. Only one player may be
taken from each minor league
club, so the Dodgers have loaded
their Montreal list with promising
players from other Brooklyn
owned clubs to prevent loss of
valuable talent.
Regarded as the prize on the
Montreal list was Forrest Jacobs,
who hit .316 at Mobile last season.
He was one of several players on
Montrears roster eyed by other
major league clubs, but once a
Montreal-listed player had been
picked, all others were safely the
property of the Dodgers.
Others on the Montreal roster
were Pitchers Jim Melton Q8-1D

fielder Bert Hamric (.248) at Fort
Worth.
Pirates Have First Pick.

in the National League, had first

Detroit. cellar team in the Ameri-
can League, had second choice,
and the teams alternated upward
until the New York Yankees picked
18th. Each club may choose as
many players as it wants until
its 40-man roster is loaded, but,
due to such tactics as employed by
the Dodgers, pickings were slim.
Washington, picking eighth,
hoped to land a catcher in the
draft. Ossie Bluege, farm direc-
tor, was to make the Mats selec-
tions. Also on the scene for the
Mats was Vice President Calvin
Griffith, with Manager Bucky Har-

Rev. Havens Gives Report on Alaska
 Methodist Meeting

Rev. Reeves Ravens returned Tuesday from the annual session of the Alaska Mission Conference of the Methodist Church, held at Ketchikan, Sept. g to 28.
 Bishop Raymond A. Grant, newly elected episcopal leader of the area, presided. This was his first conference session since be- ing elected to the episcopacy last July. He is also responsible for the Portland area of the Method ist Church.
 There are now twelve ministers serving as many Methodist charg- es in the territory. One of these is the newly chartered Methodist Church in, Fairbanks, of which Rev. Edward Purviance is pastor.
 Rev. MT. Purviance served pre- viously for three years as pastor of the church at Anchorage.
 One of the routine committee reports that occassioned much discussion on the floor of the con- ference by both ministerial and lay delegates was the report of the Social Action Committee. A summary of their report, in part, follows:

Frackelton operated first on Cody's right hand and then on his left.
 Clefts 1 to 11s inches deep were cut into the palm, between the fingers, freeing the bones in the palm to make them the begin nings of longer fingers and thumbs. The ring finger from each hand was removed. Some tendons were transplanted from one part of the hand to another to give more power to the new fingers, each now about three inches long.
 Even while his hand was heal ing from the first operation, Cody began courses in business arith- metic, law and English at Mil waukee Vocational School Soon the Curative Workshop of Mil waukee gave him treatments to strengthen his hands, to learn to dress, to eat,. to write with his new fingers.
 A month after the last opera ton, Cody took a job at the Wehr Steel Company, Milwaukee, arranged by the Rehabilitation Office. He has not missed a day on the job as timekeeper and work analysis recorder.

 USE OF HANDS WITH SURGERY

NEW YORK, (P) - The man looks at his hands, all 10 fingers :" re gone. There are only stubs left, less than an inch long. He is useless cripple, unable even to feed himself.
 That was Marion Cody, 42, of Milwaukee, three years ago. Snow bound on a hunting trip in Alaska he lost his gloves. His frozen fin gers later were amputated.
 Today Cody has eight new fin gers and thumbs, created by sur Gery. He has a job, can write, smoke cigarette, use a screw driver, dress and feed himself, live a normal life

ri4ory-wide ventures in social ac- ton. The dynamic leadership of our superintendent in the realm of social issues is deserving of more active participation by our Methodist leaders in Ala k a throughout the year. The minis ters who may seem to stop short of making social application of their religion have no reason for surprise if laymen do likewise. We dare not haze protecting pull pits which may become towards castles!
 "1n pursuit of this spirit of concern for human well-being, we would recommend the following avenues of action:
 "1. That pastors and other Methodist leaders in institutions give immediate and uncompro- missing leadership as opportunities afford themselves in cooperation with such groups as ministerial associations, councils of church. es, the Alaska Committee for Co., operative Planning, and health and welfare councils.
 "2. That each pastor dedicate himself to effecting the beginning of study groups, at least one for each church, for the purpose of studying the Christian application of our message to social problems in cur communities, Alaska, and in our world.
 B. That some committee or commission of each local church be vested with the responsibility of working with the pastor in the redemtion, rehabilitation, and refrigeration of no less than two persons who have become victims of the facilitating influences so common to Alaska. Further, that reports Of such work be included in the pastors report at the next Mission Conference.

STOP AND THINK

The Democratic Administration is the Gov ernment of the United States and of all the states and territories It is the government of the people, by the people and for the people, and it has been since 1892 It is way of life and for the Repub lican candidates to say that because there have been found some bad ones among the millions of us, that all bad and that the only cure is to wipe us out is less vicious and unreasonable than it would be for father, who having dis covered that of. his children had rngworm, decides that he should destroy his whole family. No, he would not do so, but he would take the proper steps to eliminate this affction and see to it that the rest of his family were protected. And that is exactly what the Democratic Admin 1StratlOn has done, IS doing and will continue to do. So don't be hoodwinked by the blasphemy of the rabid Republican candidates who not only point the finger Of scorn at any spots that show up in our Government, but who pick at them in an attempt to further inflame the wounds by trying to spread fear and uncertainty in the hearts of our people.
 At this time when is with us and bigger war is in the balance must remain unified and strong. The Republicans say going to have change and we ARE going to change from Tru- man to Stevenson. guess the Republican candi- dates are magicians, they going to build high ways and by-ways, air fields and harbors big schools and little schools, and at the same time, mind you, they going to eliminate taxes. Yes, there a lot of Republican dollars being spent on the press but the Democrats are giving you the TRUTH and 1t takes lot less words to do so
 The Republican candidates waste words speaking dersively about the Governor of Alaska and the President of the United States but you will not find the names of Ernest Gruening nor Harry 5. Truman on your Territorial Ballot so don't let these names confuse the issue
 These are your Democratic Candidates

GOV. GRUENING SUES ALASKA EMPIRE FOR $500, ,OOO DAMAGES

JUNEAU, tP)-Three lawsuits totaling Ns3OO,O0O were filed against the Empire Printing Com pany, publishers of the Daily AL aska Empire, of Juneau, Wednes- day by Governor Ernest Gruen- ing and the other two members of the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners.
 Joining with Gruening in the demand for $l0O,OO0 damages each were Territorial Treasurer Henry Roden and Highway En- gineer Frank MetcaIf.
 They allege they were brought into great public disgrace and greatly injured" in their name and credit by a news story in the Sept. 25 edition of the Empire.
 The story said the territorial auditor had disclosed that receipts from operation of the territory owned ferry Chilkoot had been placed in special bank account by the board instead of the gen. eral fund of Alaska.
 The Empire published a later front page item stating specifical- ly that its story did not imply any misuse of territorial money by the individuals.
 One Of the headlines cited in the complaints was: "Gruening, Metcalf, Roden divert Chilkoot dash to private bank account" the great high-lights of the year.
 ''6. That more care can be given to the training of prospec- tive members as to the social inn plications of our Gospel, before receiving them into church mem bership. We desire Christian stat ure in preference to mere statis- ties
 ''7. Finally, that the pastors and official boards give more than ip-service to the social creed of the church, including it's stand on sobriety, race relations, and peace"
