Mayor Jack Hinckel of Kodl- ak announced today that the Kodiak Electric Association, Inc, of Kodiak, Alaska has submitted a claim for refund of $31. 345. 26 in taxes paid by the association since 1949. The claim, submitted by Leon H. Johnson, Manager of the CO., operative, alleges that KEA is exempt from municipal taxes by virtue of Section3, Chapter B of the 1853 Session Laws of Alaska.
 Mayor Hinckel stated that should the KEA claim be valid it would require an additional three mill tax levy on other taxable properties in the City to raise the necessary funds with which to make the refund It would also require an addit- ional tax levy of over one mill each year to offset for the loss of revenue from KEA taxes in the event the association is found to be tax exempt under the laws of Alaska.
 The KEA president, Wilton White, and manager, Leon H. Johnson, earlier this year dur ing tax equalization hearings filed protest and appeared be- fore the City Council asking for a reduction in the assessed value of nEA properties. The protest was based on tue con- tention that KEA is a non-pro- fit firm and should not be tax ed on the same basis as other properties. They further argu- ed that a portion of the KEA system did not earn anyreven- ues during the preceding year. The City Council declined fay- orable action on the request for a reduction based on the fact that all tax assessments must be equitable and that to give KEA preferential treat ment would probably subject the City to taxpayers suits seeking the same treatment. A series of such suits could well disrupt City finances and de- lay tax collections.
 The KEA manager also filed a letter with the City of Kodi ak in which it is contended that electric rates and charges because KEA is an REA fin anced cooperative, are not subject to regulation and con trol by the CityofKodiak Coun-l cil. The City Council had pre- viousIy asked the cooperative to justify a proposed change in electric charges for City street lights. The KEA mana

CHICAGO. Sept. 6.-Maurice
Tillet, better known as "the
French Angel" in the wrestling
ring, died late Saturday night
about Is hours after learning
his friend and manager, Karl
Pajello, had died.
Physicians said Tillet, 81, who
had been suffering from hyper
tensive heart disease, probably
died by grieving too much for
his friend. An autopsy showed
Pajello, 81, died of lung cancer.
Pajello, a wrestler and pro-
moter most Of his life, PICKED up
Tillet in Paris IS years ago, Mrs.
Pajello said.
He trained him for a year, she
added, and then brought him
to this country in 1910. Tillet,

Football is football to the De-
troit Lions, professional cham
pions, whether it be played UNI
der the two-platoon system or
the limited substitution rule.
They can play a winning game
either way.
The Lions had to chuck their
normal two-platoon tactics to
bone up on the Collegians' brand
for the annual College All-Star
game in Chicago last month. But
they didn't suffer a lick. They
trounced the college boys at
their own game and then SWITCH

with ease to build up a perfect

pre- season exhibitions.
Their third triumph came this
past week end as they defeated
the New York Giants, 28-13, at
Norman, Okla.

Redskins, Near Deal
With Janowicz, Shift
Dorow 10 HaIfback :
By Lewis T. Atchison
Stor Sfuff CORRESPONDENT

CHAPEL HILL. N. c., Sept. 6.
The Redskins were reported to
be close to an agreement today
with Vic Janowicz, former Ohio
State All-American quarterback,
who postponed a pro football
career for a fling at big league
baseball with the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
AS the touring Washington
squad arrived here to point for
Saturday nights exhibition game
with the Green Bay Packers at
nearby Raleigh, N. c., George
Marshall, president of the club,
seemed confident of hearing good
news soon from Janowicz. A
bonus player when signed by the
Pirates, Vic must have General
Manager Branch Rickey's per-
mission to quit the Pirates for
football.
Marshall has predicted all
along that Janowicz, a weak-hit-
ting catcher, eventually would
join the Redskins. The Washing
ton club, owner made the one
time Buckeye star a tempting
offer some time ago and Jano-
wicz might have made the Jump
sooner but for a feeling of in
debtedness to John Ga1breath,
owner of the Pirates, and con-
tractual obligations.
Dorow Shifting to Halfback.
If and when Janowicz joins the
Redskins he'll share the quarter
backing duties with Jack Scar
bath as soon as he familiarizes
himself with the Washington sys-
tenn. Coach Joe Kuharich has
decided to shift AL Dorow, a first
year man from Michigan State,
to halfback. extensively and de-
fensively, keeping him in reserve
for emergency quarterbacking.
Until Saturday night, when the
Redskins dropped their fourth
straight exhibition game, this one
to the Chicago Bears, 1892,
Dorow had alternated with Scar
bath. But Kuharich had several
logical reasons for deciding on
the change.
Both players, Joe said, need q
tremendous amount Of work, but
can't get it going in for three to
eight plays at a time. They've
got to have steady, consistent
schooling under game conditions
to acquire the poise and expert
ence necessary for polished
quarterback.
"Dorow does lot Of things
WE'LL" Quharich said, "and we
want to take full advantage of
his abilities. He can run and
pass from the halfhack position,

Battle With Wife Hailed
BY shs Assoeiessd Press

E f. . = I. 49, ~
PASADENA. Calf, June TO-
Legal proceedings in the domestic
battle between James Roosevelt
and his wife Romelle have been
halted. raising the possibility
that the case may be settled
amicably.
An answer and a deposition
were due from Mr.. Roosevelt
yesterday, but instead these mat
ters were placed off calendar.
Counsel for Mrs. Roosevelt, how
ever. denied there was any con-
nection between this action and
Mr.. Roosevelt's success at Tues
days primary election when he
won the Democratic nomination
for Congress from the 26th
district.
Mrs. Roosevelt last January 20
sued for separate maintenance,
asking $500 monthly in tempo
rary support. Mr.. Roosevelt
counter-sued for divorce. The
court granted her $1,625 a
month.
Mrs. Roosevelt named three
women as correspondents and
accompanied her complaint with
letters, signed by her husband
in 1945, in which he admitted
infidelities with nine other wom-
en-. In .counter-suing, Mr..
Roosevelt has denied all her
allegations.
