 On the professional politicians, there were deeper impact, how ever, from the election of Demo- crat Harrison Williams, Jr., to Congress from the 9th New Jersey district. Williams won over Re publican George F. Hatfield by about 2,000 votes in a normally heavily Republican district which has had COP congressman since it. was organized in 1882.
 This came atop the loss of a Republican seat in Wisconson's s recent special election.
 The party division in the House of Representatives now stands at 218 Republicans, 215 Democrats, 1 Independent, l vacancy. The vacancy is in a California district which has been represented by a Republican. A special election is to be held in the district next Tuesday. Two Republicans are running against two Democrats. The outcome of this one will also be watched for signs of national significance.
 Adlai Stevenson had this com ment:
 Many people in many places have expressed renewed confi- dence in Democrats and the con- structive record of the Democratic party.
 T am not sure what the re- turns mean in all cases, but it looks as though the fruit of Re- publican promises and perform ances is dissatisfaction, disillusion and defeat"

Russia Claims AdVanCementS In Atomic Field

LONDON, LP - Moscow radio claimed Tuesday Soviet scientists have created several types of atomic and hydrogen bombs"
 The claim was made in a Mos cow broadcast to Russian listeners summarizing talk on the achieve ments of Soviet chemical science by Academician s. I. Voitsk0vich.
 The broadcast said: '"The joint work of physicists, chemists and petrologists has helped Soviet sci ence, within short period of time, to solve the most difficult problem of disclosing the secret of the atomic weapon and of creating several types of atomic and hydro gen bombs." It added:
 ''This work demonstrates the high standard of Soviet science and technology but our country is resolutely coming forward against the use of the atomic weapon (anO it continues a persistent struggle for it's prohibition"
 The broadcast said that Soviet chemists are developing work on the use of atomic energy for peaceful constructive purposes for the good of the people,"
 Yesterdays broadcast was the first Soviet reference to the pro- duction of several types of hydro gen and atomic bombs.

Miss Eunice Merton, of West Rchfield, Ohio, says the coming winter will be of the hardest on record Miss Merton predicts the weather by watching bugs, bushes, animals and other natural phenomena.
 Relying the indications and clues given by these various phenomena, she comes to conclusion which she feels is as accurate as those of trained weather observers.
 Recently there have been many signs to indicate cold winter ahead she says. Among them are the heavy coats grown by animals the high level at which hornets have hung their neststo keep them free from high snowdrifts.
 Another sign, according to Miss Merton, is great hole in the Milky Way which is letting cold air in from outer space As result this weather prognostcator says, the coming winter will be very severe and you make your plans accordingly.

Boston HarbOr
 Fire X Explosion Kills 7, Injures Is

BOSTON, lRAThe fourth Bos- ton harbor ship fire in IT days swept the Norwegian freighter Black Falcon after a violent ex- plosion Monday with a toll of 7 dead and IS injured.
 The dead and 13 of the injured were longshoremen working deep in the aft hold unloading chemi- calls at the army base, 200 yards from where the aircraft carrier Leyte was berthed when it was rocked by an explosion that killed 37 men on Oct. Is.
 The seven victims either were killed outright by the blast or burned to death
 The chief of the Boston Fire Departments arson squad said after preliminary survey of the scene that it is his theory the explosion was caused by a mix ture of chemicals.
 He said a drum of sodium per oxide apparently was stored "too near the boilers" and that the heat caused some of the chemical to leak out and mix with bauxite- aluminium ore-stored in the same hold.
 He said when the mixture be- gan to shoulder, one of the men threw a pail of water onto it and caused "a violent chemical reaction"
 None of the Black Falcons crew of 40 was injured.

Civilian Evacuation By Air Rescue
 To Be Curtailed

HQ ALASKAN AIR CON- MAND - The evacuation of civ ilians by Air Rescue planes is to be greatly curtailed, the Alaskan Air Command announced last week. The Air Force has in the past been giving assistance to civilians in Alaska comparable to assistance rendered in times of disaster. During disasters such as the Greek earthquake and the floods in Holland, the Air Force gave the kind of assistance it is called upon daily to give civilians in Alaska.
 At the present time there is no disaster situation in Alaska and civilian agencies are considered adequate to handle the type of C lis received by our Air Rescue Group Furthermore the cuts in military personnel and allowable f-j-ing time caused by the reduced Air Force budget make it neces- Sly to cCnfine the activities of Air Rescue to it's primary mission.

Eskimos Have Various Thoughts About Wolves
Reprinted from Jack Wilson's Washington"

WASHINGTON - Along with everything else your government and mine has to worry about, it now is trying to figure out how Eskimos feel about wolves. Es- kimos and wolves are sort of mixed in their relations with each other.
 A few years ago, the Eskimos in Alaska put on a moan that the sneaky wolves were munching on the local caribou to the degree that the Eskimos who like nothing better than a fresh caribou outlet, were practically down to eating last years mukluks. The caribou shortage was so tough, the way the story reached here, that a medium-plump dog was in dan ger of his life if he wandered into an Eskimo community around lunch time.
 Congress replied with enough small change so the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service could deploy seven wolf hunters into the cool Arctic reaches. A year ago last spring, the seven, complete with wolf bane, hove into Umiat, a thriving little igloo city. They took three little airplanes along and put on a wolfkrieg, potting the wolves vigirously with shotguns from upstairs. Got 25O in six weeks.

They Uttered Loud Yelps

The Eskimos did not gather around the returning hunters, though, and ply them with rich gifts and fancy viands and invite them to make speeches at the Commercial Club. Instead, they uttered loud yelps which they sub sequently dispatched down here via dog team and visiting con- gressmen. The Eskimos' plaints arrived in good condition, and the Fish and Wildlife Service has de- frosted and examined them.
 It seems the Alaskan govern ment pays $50 head for dead wolves and the Eskimos had been making a nice thing out of this bounty until the white men loused it up by killing the wolves, on the flimsy excuse of saving the caribou.

Hutch Rules Out Comeback,

Hutch. who is "a, said his arm
felt fine but thought it was too
much for one man to pitch and
run a ball club.
You can't do BOTH" he said

many things out there on the
mound"
would it be easier" a re-
porter asked. "if you were play
ing some other position-say
shortstop. like Lou Boudreau
used to do with Cleveland a few
years ago"
"It would still be too hard a
job" Hutch replied. You can
be sure Boudreau found it no
picnic trying to think for him
self and for the entire team, too.

better job with the Red Sox, now
that he can direct the team

Snug Harbor Champ
As PhaIen Fills Gap
In Pitching Staff

Snug Harbor is the new
champion of the Anacostia
sandlot baseball league and the
gap made in the pitching staff
when Larry WeStervelt was
transferred out of Washing
ton by the Air Force is hardly
noticeable.
Bob Phalen. short, stocky
left-hander from Northwestern
High School. turned in his sec
ond outstanding performance
in three days yesterday when
he pitched the Harbor team to
a 9-1 victory over Swift Elec-
trio in the final game of the
playof series for the League
title.
Snug Harbor, which lost the
first game of the playoff. tied
the series with a 1913 win Tues
day as Phalen pitched a seven
inning two-hitter. The North
western graduate allowed only
three hits in yesterdays effort.
1t was a gratifying finish for
Manager Bill Vaughan, who saw
his team founder during the
first half and then make a dis
NAL start on the second. Snug
Harbor went on an eight-game
winning streak, however, that
Sewed up the second half title
with a 1912 record and put it in
the playoffs.
"The team found itself during
the second half" Vaughan ex-
plains. tom Baden started hit
ting in the clutch and Marty
CribbinS came back from minor
league ball and we started to
move"
But the loss of WeStervelt, an
airman at Boiling Field who
handled the bulk of the pitch
ing during Harbor's winning
streak, seemed too serious a blow
to be offset by strong hitting.
Then Phalen came through.

Features Announced
For First Hunt Races
With ParimutueIs
By the Associated Press

FAIR HILL, Md, Aus. %
Featured events for the first
hunt meeting with parimutuel
betting in Maryland were an
nounced today by William du-
Pont, jr.
The races are to be held on
two successive Saturdays, Sep
tember IL and 10, on duPont'S
11,000-acre estate here 16 miles
southwest of Wilmington, Del.
The Foxcatcher National Cup
Steeplecase has been the main
event since 1884 over a course
built by dupont which is rated
the toughest in the United
States.
In the past. it has been a one
day affair for a mixed audience
of hunting society and Maryland
ruralistS. A county fair held in
conjunction with the races will
be continued.
Six Races Each Saturday.
The Maryland Legislature this
year authorized two Saturdays
with parimutuel betting. There
had been no legal betting in the
past.
There will be six races, four
over the jumps and two on the
fiat turf. each Saturday. The
fiat races will be run first on
which there will be daily double
betting.
The gruelling Smile Fox
catcher over 19 jumps up to 6
feet 4 inches high will feature
the first Saturdays program.
Only one horse, Republic, I'd,
owned by Richard K. Mellon of
Pittsburgh, has been able to win
two Foxcatchers in 13 runningS
On the second Saturday, du-
Pont is reviving two Steeple-
chase stakes originated at Pim-
lico. the Manly and Battleship.
Pimlico dropped steeplechase
races in 1850.
Races Moved To MiddIeburg.
The Manly was first run there
in 1916. 1t was kept alive in
1850 and 1851 at Middleburg,
Va, and dropped last year.
The Battleship was inaugu-
rated in 1888 and also shifted to
Middleburg in 1850, but discon-
tlnued the next two years.
A third SteeplechaSe Scptem-
ber 19 will be the Fair Hill for
which the winner receives a copy
of solid gold cup.
All profits of the two days
racing will go to the Union Hos
pital in Elkton, Md.

Gene Smith Steps Up
Training for Bossio

Featherweight Gene Smith of
Washington is stepping up his
training program in New York
for his 10-round bout against
Bill Bossio of Pittsburgh at
Turner's Arena a week from to-
morrow night.
Trainer Whitley Bimstein is
putting Smith through at least
10 rounds daily of sparring, bag
punching and rope skipping at
Stillman'S Gym.
Smith is working in New York
both because better sparring
partners are available and also
because Bimstein can keep an
eye on him.
Whitley, one of the most re-
Spected trainers in the business,
says he wasn't much impressed
with Smith in his last two fight
in which he traded knockouts
with Jimmy Cooper in Washing
ton.
Gene beat himself in that
first fight" says Bimstein, land
Cooper gave him more trouble
than he should before Smith
won that second one. We're not
going to let him take it easy
with BoSSio."
