Ford observed. However, the

The line should average around

Ford explains, "but most of it

Heurich Nine Makes
Series Debut Today;
Rival Clubs Erratic

If any teams participating in
the city Sandlot baseball series
on the Ellipse figure to stop the
defending champion Heurich
Brewers, they haven't shown
any indications of doing it thus
far All four games run off have
been characterized by loose play,
with a total of A errors made
Winners in the Industrial
League this season, the Brewers
appear to have too much all
around strength to fail in the
double-elimination tournament.
Brother Love, who finished the
regular season with a 60 record,
and Charley Hiden (4-0),
shouldn't have too much trouble
keeping their records I'M
blemished. Should either get
into trouble, Manager Pepco
Barry can call on capable Tom
johnson, big Negro right-hander
who pitched in the Metro
League last year.
Jim Francis figures to keep up
the hitting that ranked him
fourth in the league at 1893.
Should he slump, Roy Mcneil
(.38O or Red Murphy C.340)
could very well take up the
slack.
Makes Debut Today.
Heurich will make it's first ap-
pearance in the tournament
today, when it plays Military Air
Transport Service on the South
Ellipse. In the other game, on
the West Ellipse, Lincoln A. C.
will play the Washington
Royals. Both games will start
at 4:45.
Barry, who said he would start
Love in today's game, disclosed
that the team hadn't played since
the league ended, nearly>a month
ago and had practiced only
few times.
In yesterdays games. the Union
Printers put on a three-run rally
in the ninth inning to defeat the
Northeast Athletics, 8-5, and the
Springfield VirginianS, scoring
eight runs in the first inning,
coasted to a 1873 victory over
Swift Electric.
The Printers got off to a two
run lead in the first inning on
walk, wild pitch. two errors
and a single. They scored
three in the sixth, but the Ath-
letics tied it up with one in the
third, two in the fifth and two in
the sixth.
Webb'S Double Scores Two.
With one out in the ninth, Bill
Garner singled and was safe at
second on an attempted steal
when the catcher made a bad
throw. Stan King singled, send
ing Garner to third and Sam
Webb then doubled to center,
scoring Garner and King. On an
attempted pick-off of Webb at
second base the Athletics catcher
fired the ball into centerfield and
Webb scored with the third run
Of the inning.
Springfield with eight hits, two
walks and an error in the first
inning scored eight runs and
added to it's total in the third
and fifth. Al Buschling hit a
three-run homer in the third for
Springfield and Tex Jones. who
got three hits and drove in three
runs, hit a homer in the fifth
with two on. jeff Williams hit
three-run homer for Swift in
the seventh.

MANY FILlPlNOS NOW
U. S. CITIZENS

An overwhelming majority of
the Filipinos in the Pacific North
west, to limit our discussion to
this area, are naturalized, if not
born, citizens of this country. 1t
is their right and privilege to pro-
ject themselves into the political
scene of the country, if they so de-
sire, and to enjoy the full bene-
fits of their membership in the
political state. They may cast their
votes for candidates for public Of
flee; they may take part in all
kinds of political campaigns they
may join any legitimate political
party - that, by so doing, they
may advance their individual or
collective welfare.
A LoNG-STANDlNG BLUNDER
Consuls of the Philippines, or
any diplomatic officer of the Phil
lippine Republic, are, under the
ethics of International diplomacy.
not expected to venture into this
ground. How then, can we recon
cile the consistency of letting a
consul of the Philippines act as
adviser to an organization. h e
Overwhelming majority of whose
members are citizens of the United
States? This had been a .blunder
since the establishment of the Fill
pino Inter-Community Council in
the Pacific Northwest by Consul
lbanez in. October of 1852. The pre-
Filipino forum. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1928-196?, 1953-10-01

sent leadership of the Inter-Com-
munity Council cannot see this
point, and when an amendment
was presented at it's first conven-
ton to delete that article which
provides for the advisorship of the
Council in the person of the Philip
pine consul in Seattle, the amend
ment did not get any support from
the delegates.
NO POLITICAL JURISDICTION
Any consul of the Republic of
the Philippines assigned to the
United States is a legal represen-
tative of the Government of the
Philippines and has, among other
duties, that of protecting the in
terests of Filipino citizens and ma
tionals who still owe allegiance to
I the Republic of the Philippines and
who do not owe allegiance to any
other foreign state. Filipinos who
are naturalized citizens of the
United States owe political allie
glance ONLY to the United States,
and no longer to the Philippines.
Their political interests, among
many other interests, become the
concern of their adopted country.
Philippine consuls have no political
jurisdiction over them.
coNsUL's DUTY WITHOUT
"PABAGSAK"
On the other hand Philippine
consuls have political jurisdiction
over Filipino citizens and nation
ais who still owe allegiance to
the Government of the Philippines.
and it is the consuls' duty to pro-
tect their (Filipino citizens and
nationally interests, whether they
like 1t or not. And the Filipino citi-
zens and nationals can expect this
service from consuls of the Philip-
pines without providing any fin
ancial stimulus or, what they call
IN Manila, "pabagsak."
ANOMALOUS INCONSISTENCY
The foregoing discussion on the
status of Filipino-American citizens
anu IlCIl W
consuls is brought up to show the
anomalous inconsistency, if not
imprudence, of having a Philippine
consul as the adviser of the Fill
pino Inter-Community Council of
the Pacific Northwest Under this
very set-up, the Filipino Inter-
Community Council cannot invade
the political scene of this country
without putting the Philippine Con-
sui in ticklish position, which he
logically will not feel happy about.
And so long as this set-up con-
tinues, tn Filipino Inter-Com-
munity Council will always remain
under the strangle-hold and octo-
pus grip of the Philippine Consul
ate in Seattle. This situation was
already very evident during the
First Annual Convention of the
Filipino Inter-Community Council
of the Pacific Northwest in Wa.
patio early this month.
