Alaska Bills

Congress has adjourned and the members up for reelection have gone home to fix their fences while those not so concerned have gone on junket here and there. On the pending list for next Janu- ary when the Congress reconvenes are two bills of particular interest to Alaskans. Congressman Pillon of New York has a measure in to transfer control of Alaska's fish and game to the Territory. It is similar to the oill Delegate Bart lett introduced in January with the difference that the Delegates s measure provides that 50 per cent of the net proceeds from the sale of sealskins on the Pribilofs would go to the Territory. Pillion's bill deletes this provision.
 Senator. Henry Jackson of Wash ington is sponsoring a bill to turn over for use in the Territory a DOT tion of the funds held in escrow from cutting timber in the Tongass National Forest. Thes Jackson bill would tap the million and a half dollar fund which has resulted from the Tongass Timber Sale Act of 1947 which provides for holding timber sale money in escrow until the question of Indian possessory rights was settled. The Senator would take 25 per cent of the money accruing in this fund for schools and roads in the Territory and 10 per cent for national for est road and trail work in Alaska. The measure provides that if any claims of possessory rights within the forest are found to be valid, the Territory would pay to the United States 25 per cent of the money required to satisfy the claims but not in excess of 25 per cent received by the Territory for roads and schools.

Gets Four Places

Tennessee A. G. L. State Uni
versity placed four men on the
All Mid-W estern Athletic Associ-
alton first team which was selected
during the MWAA annual meeting
at Hot Springs, Ark, December
go. Kentucky State College and
Lincoln University placed two

College, Central State College, and
Jackson College had one each to
receive the coveted honor. Lin
coin University's great back Leo
Lewis was the sole player selected
without a dissenting vote. The
brilliant Minnesota halfback scored
four touchdowns in his college fl
male to send his total to 65. He
also set a new rushing mark over
the four-year stretch. Lewis pre-
viously was named on the Little
All-American team, a distinction
he also earned in 1858. Rick Rob-
ertS named him on his all time
college team a few days ago.
Gerald Brown, Lewis teammate,
beat Robert Hill, of Jackson Col

EIston Howard

BROOKLYN, N. Y. Dec. 20 -
The all-round star athlete from
St. Louis, Elston Howard, last
week was definitely tagged as the
first Negro to ever become a regu-
lar with the New York Yankees
baseball team.
Shortly after Casey Stengel,
manager, declared he would like
to keep the farm club star, the
catcher was purchased the day be-
fore the deadline to keep him out
of the baseball draft. Howard was
ordered Immediately to Puerto Rica
to join the San Juan club.
He played for Toronto in the
International League last season
and ranked second in batting with
1871, and was chosen most valuable
player of the league. In 1873 games,
some as catcher and some as an
outfielder he hit 22 home runs,
Is triples and 20 doubles, and
batted in 108 runs.
Harry Craft is coaching San
Juan and the Yankees asked him
to use Howard as a catcher and
outfielder. Since Woodling was

year of 1854 assumes a prominent
niche in the archives of the inter
acknowledgements Harlem Globe
trotters basketball team, owned
and coached by Abe Saperstein of
his city, because it marked the
fulfillment of a dream.
When Saperstein first organized
his quintet % seasons back, he
dreamed of the day when it would
have played on all six continents
of the globe. That goal was reach
ed during this year when the Trot-
ters travelled to Australia, the

nancially and artistically.

ter schedule of games without a
defeat, a skein of 1913 triumphs.
During this time, a second unit was
dispatched Oh a $4,000 mile, ten
week tour that won IA games play
ed against the Boston Whirlwinds
in Australia, Indonesia, the Philip
pines, Guam, Hawaii, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Malay States, Japan
and Formosa.

Madison Square Garden, the Trot-
tiers opened their fifth annual
World Series of Basketball against
the College All Americans of the
season, winning it, Is games to
7, against the greatest squad of
varsity stars ever assembled. A
total of 287, 507 fans saw the games
which were played in 20 different
cities in FL days. Two games in
single days were played in New
York and Chicago. A chartered
airplane carried the encourage on
the whirlwind jaunt.
After a two week rest, tE~
Globetrotters were divided into
two units and one left for 49,

gentina, Chile, Peru and Vene-
zuela in South America, as we'll

Motley Escapes
Death As Police
Shoot Crazy Man

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Marion
Motley, retired fullback of the
Cleveland Browns and one of the
games all time greats, barely es-
capped being shot by crazed gun
man last week who was later shot
to death in a gun duel with two
policemen.
The shooting occurred in Mot
ley's bar. Motley said man, later
identified as Sam Williford, came
into his bar and demanded payment
of 81 which he claimed Motley owed
him. Motley denied it and order
ed the man out.
He left but returned few min
utes later, according to Motley,
with a gun in his hand and again
demanded payment of the 81. Mot
lev said he got change for a $40
bill and gave it to Williford saying
that he didn't owe the money but
would give him the 81 to avoid
trouble.
Motley then called the police
and when two officers arrived and
asked him where the man was who
was causing the disturbance, Mot
ley pointed to group of men
standing in front of the bar and
said. "He's standing in that group
with gun"
Before the officers could get out
their service revolvers, Williford is
alleged to have said, eyes, | got a
gun and can shoot you too"
With these remarks, according
to policemen, and as the group
surrounding Williford dashed for
cover, Williford opened fire hitting
one of the patrolmen with the first
volley of bullets.
The other officer then shot Wilt
ford in the head. The wounded Of
ficer was hit in the right arm and
right leg.
Police say Motley neglected to
tell the central police headquar-
ters when he telephoned that the
| man causing the disturbance was
armed.

Average Earning
Higher for
Geanga County

Especial to the Geauga RecOrd)
The lifetime earning capac-
ity of the average male resi-
dent of Geauga county h a
reached new heights.
Based on current conditions
of employment, of national pro-
ductivity, of education and of
life span, the average loo a l
man starting out to earn a
living now has a prospective
lifetime income of $155 90.
This projection into the fu-
ture is based on data compiled
by the Census Bureau as re-
flected in the current earnings
of local residents. At present
these earnings are running 4
percent above those received
generally throughout the United
States.
The $155,0O that the average
Geauga county worker stands
to collect for his years of toll
is more than the expectations
of workers elsewhere in t h e
United States, who will G e t
$150,000.
The economic value of man
in the United States, taking
into account the effects of in
flation, has more than doubled
since the beginning of World
War II, according to the Cen
SuS Bureau. 1t is attributed to
the growth of opportunity, the
rise in the educational Level
and the improved skill of the
working population.
Education is a principal fac
tor, usually, in determining a
mans earning capacity. An ele'
mentary school diploma will
raise prospective lifetime in
come some sc percent over the
amount going to those with five
years of schooling. A HE
school diploma rates a third
