NEW YORK (F) It was the same old partners putting on the same old act in the sunlight and shadows and glow of the Yankee Stadium Wednesday, with the same old ending.
 The Yankees took this first game of the World Series, 675, but not before they had been given a graveyard scare as the Dodgers took their supposed inferiority complex by the heels and all but trapped their American league opponents ov CT the head with it.
 There was no quit in the Bunns, and when Carl Furillo tanned for the final out the crowd of 63,869 still was in the seats tingling with hope or ap- prehension.
 When a gnarlsd old codger named Jackie Robinson can forget his battered and sliced and aching legs ain't what they used to be and steal home to bring his Dodgers within one nun of tying the score in the eighth inning, well, the Brook lyn fans knew that whatever the outcome of the game they could Ibe proud of their below ed Bums.
 There were temporary heroes galore in the up and down klane in which home runs were sprayed all over the place, but it will go down as the day the Yankees had one Collins too many flor the Brooklyns.
 Joe, that, is not Tom. His two healthy blows into the right field seats were the difference. and probdbly would have en- abled Whitey Ford to be the only southpaw to go the dis tance against Brooklyn tn4s year and win if Casey Stengel hadn't decided it might be a little healthier to have right handler Bob Grim in there in the ninth inning.
 Don Newcornbe had plenty of swift as the players. say, and was tough enough until the sixth, but once the Yankees got to him in that inning he was finished, and he obviously was relieved in more ways than one when he got out of there.
 All in all, it was Yankee po- wer again in the drivers seat, although there was nothing particularly puny about the Brooklyn attack. There just happened to be only one Collins in the game, and he played flor Casey Stengel.

 Sitka's proposed pulp mill will provide employment for about 400 persons in the mill itself, and an additional -four hundred or so in the woods. Computing the average family at "a total number of four, the project will add 3,2O0 to pre- sent population. But, in addi- ton, all sales and service bus mess now operating here will expand facilities and increase personnel - while at the same time other new and needed business will spring into ex- istence which shoeld add another thousand persons to the population rolls.
 Forest Service officials also foresee "a suibstantial number of smaller industries utilizing lumber which will ccme into existence as a direct result of the pulp mill, in the way of woodworking plants, speciality mills and possibly even a ply wood plant all as a natural growth of minor forest indus tries which naturally follow "a
 major industrial expansion. While two sites Herring

 and consideration by the Alas
 ka Lumber & Pulp Co.,, the company holds purchase op- ton, upon which several pay
 ments have been made, to the Sawmill Creek site where Blue Lake Farms are located. Fred and John VanHorn, owners of the dairy have been killing off their milk cows and making preparations to Wind1up that business. From all indications, Sawmill Creek is the preferred site.
 It is noteworthy that while a 3OO-ton plant is stipulated for Sitka, the Ketchil1an Pulp Co.,. plant was designed for a daily production of $50 tons but is currently producing nearly 45O tons of high alpha cellulose pulp daily.
 Additional safeguards set up by the Forest Service require the successful bidder to log on
 a "clear cut" basis, with pro-
 vision for adequate seed sources
 Wildlife habitat and protection of salmon streams and spawn ing areas are provided for. With the magnesium process the same as used at Ketchikan incidently the liquors are re used and there is no pollution of waters adjacent to the site. This is a valuable considera- tion in Southeastern Alaska, where fishing has long been a major industry and every eff fort is now being devoted to restoring the vanished salmon runs.
 Protection is afforded, too, to small loggers or independent operators, for a haDf-bilhon board feet of timber after the pulp un.t sale will be made available for their use.

Whether you are a Catholic or
not, you should know the truth
about the Knights of Columbus.
Is it, as sometimes rumored, a
secret society with designs against
our government? Do its members
really take an oath to destroy non
Catholic political power?
If such rumors were true, the
Knights of Columbus would not
deserve the friendship and trust
of non-C Catholic citizens, which it
invites and merits. Actually there
is no more thoroughly patriotic
organization than this fraternal
order of Catholic men.
1t is composed of plumbers and
lawyers, farmers and doctors,
business men and scientists - of
Catholic men at every level of the
social and economic scale, Some
are rabidly partisan on political
and public questions.
The Knights of Columbus was
formed in 1882, by small group
of the men of St. Mary's Church,
New Haven, Connecticut. They
had met, at the invitation of
Father Michael ]. McGivney, not
: to form a national fraternal So
ciety, but to render mutual aid
TO the members of the parish and
their families.
In the years that since have
ensued, the Knights of Columbus
has grown into fraternal order
of more than 100000 members,
spread over the United States,
Canada and other countries of the
Western World. But its purpose
of mutual aid" ;. .and it's princi-
pies of charity, unity, Fraternity
and patriotism remain un-
changed after more than 70 years.

W~S ~
ginians have preferred to give
the Nation a Senator whose
cautious conservatism stems
back to 18th century thought:
A belief in strict budget bal
ancing, keeping the Govern
ment free from welfare state
projects, following George
Washington's dictum against
foreign alliances. The Old
Dominion recalls how Byrd
flew to San Francisco in 1945
to fight against the United
Nations giving RusSia--or any
one elSe-veto power.
The Senator illustrates his
belief in personal initiative,
as opposed to relying on
Government aid, with a
turkey story:
where's initiative, if you
think Government should pro-
vide everything? Take tur-
keys. When they shifted for
themselves, they ranged far.
They became huskies. Now
we give them food in a box,
so they stick close by. You
even have to move the box to
provide fresh scratching
ground. And If you don't fill
the box. they may starve to
DEATH"
Byrd knows about incentive.
Shortage of family funds
threw him on his own In his
teens. He took his mothers
newspaper, the Winchester
Star, and made it a success.
Then he leased a rundown
apple orchard. He made
apples grow, and today he's
the worlds greatest apple
grower, without ever having
taken a dollar In Federal
subsidy.
The Senator is in his Sos,
but looks 10 years younger.
He wears double breasted
coats white linen suits in
summerl and his favorite hat
is of Confederate gray, slouch
type. He uses first names on
short acquaintance If he likes
one. Writing to a New York
editor whom he had just met,

Payroll Tax Dead
Butler Predicts After
Seeing City Heads

Senator Butler, Republican, of
Maryland, believes there is no
possibility of a payroll tax in
Washington on salaries earned
here regardless of the residence
of the employee.
He made this prediction after
talking with each of the three
District Commissioners. He said
he thinks the proposal is a dead
duck"
Charging that such a levy
would affect thousands of his
Maryland constituents living in
nearby counties, but working in
Government and private jobs IN
Washington. the legislator
branded the proposed tax as
discriminatory, un-American
and triple taxation"
Discrimination Charged.
1t would be discriminatory, he
explained because it would put
a burden on the salaried man
and woman while permitting
self-employed persons to escape
the tax.
THE underpaid Federal en-
ployes and those in private en-
ployment now earning enough to
barely subsist would be hard
hit" he declared. such a tax
as this is obnoxious to all fair
minded people regardless of their
station in life"
II recognize the necessity of
additional revenue to meet the
mounting burden of local gov
ernment." asid the Senator.
But that need should be met
by increased Federal contribu-
ton to the upkeep of Washing

He said he would attempt to
work out a fair ratio" between
the Federal payment and city
expenses.

charged. 1.-THE amount con-
tributed in lieu Of taxes by the
Federal Government is a mere

He went to Casualty Hospital

colored boy who attacked him
might be involved in other cases.
He had been released from the
National Training School for

New Raid Signals
Won't Be Used Here
For Month at Least
staff Photos by A. C. Chinn.

New air raid signals, an
nounced Monday by the Federal
Civil Defense Administration as
effective at once, won't be used
here for at least a month.
Meanwhile, State civil defense
directors in Pennsylvania, New
York and New Jersey said they
were retaining the old signals
until further notice" The new
signals eliminate the "all clear"
because of atomic fallout that
could continue to imperil areas
after an attack.
The new signals are:
/. Alert-A steady blast last
ing three to five minutes.
2. Take cover-Wailing tone,
or short blasts, for three minutes.
Col. John E. Fondahl. District
director of Civil Defense. said no
cbangeover would be made "un-
til we complete the installation
of additional sirens" Three are
yet to be installed, and it will
require at least a month to get
them up, he said.
Col. Fondahl noted that the
new alert signal would mean i'm
mediate evacuation in some
cities, while in other cities it
would not. In the second in
stance, the alert would be a call
for mobilizing Civil Defense
aides. He said he could see some
drawbacks in the new signal
system but indicated the District
will go along with it.

Fourth Presbyterian,
Dying in District,
Wins Right ID. Move

In a struggle for survival the
130-year-old Fourth Presbyterian
Church of Washington has be-
gun the process Of moving from
Thirteenth and Fairrnont streets
NV. to site somewhere in
nearby Montgomery County.
1T is a question of move or
die" SAID Charles T.. Clayton, a
church elder, as he won permis-
sion of the Presbytely of Wash
ington City yesterday to conduct
a survey of the proposed site.
If the survey Is favorable, per-
mission to build there Will be
sought of the Comfy Commits
sion, which rules where Prot
estant churches shall be erected
in this area. No opposition is
expected.
If all goes we'll, it is possible
ground will be broken for the
new edifiee in three or four years.
The action came after 100
members of the congregation
moved away in the past several
years.
Some members attending yes
terday's meeting at the Sixth
Presbyterian Church said there
were too many Presbyterian
churches located within a small
downtown area.
They were put up in horse
and buggy days when churches
could be close together without
fear OF overcrowding." said the
Rev. William H. Kepler, mod
orator of the presbytery.
Another advantage of a new
church in Montgomery County
would be to relieve crowding of
three other Presbyterian churches
in that area, it was said.
