Four hundred and sixty-three years ago today it
took Christopher Columbus seventy days to the
Atlantic Ocean and become the discoverer of America
What he and his accomplished be
done in a few hours without any kind of discomfort
and contact with the mainlandS throughout the trip
Like the achievements of many great men, Column
bus discovery not appreciated until long after his
death He died in disgrace and obscury but Americans
make the date of the founding Of the free world red
letter day their calendars that they do not forget
the first pioneer.
Alaskans chose this day to dedicate the Haines-
Fairbanks pipeline ALCANGO, completed through the
cooperation of Americans and Canadians all part Of the
great country which Columbus found.
Those pioneers who made it possible with their
prospecting, trapping fishing endurance and forbear-
against the many injustces thrust upon them
during the territorial status will be important part
Of the history Of Alaska in the making All Alas

Only Sea Offers
In Captivity Arrive

captive sea offers in the world"
said Kenyon. But we don't know
about Russia"
Three were caught last year.
They were kept at the Woodland
Park Zoo for two weeks but died
soon after being taken to a Wash
ington DC. zoo. Kenyon said they
couldn't stand the 90-degree tenn
peratures there.
Capture Of the offers was Incl
dental to a study project in which
Kenyon and BezeZekoff spent two
and half months on Amchitka,
studying habits of offers in the
wild. The Navy kept them sup
piled with mail and checked with
them by radio occasionally to be
certain they were all right.
Tony, 6 months old, was caught
Sept. 9. Susy, Is months old, was
captured Sept f. Bezezekoff
pulled them from the sea with a
large dip net.
Tony and Susy will be given
quarters in the bear grotto.

Truman Says There's No
Basis for Charge Demos
Will Drop Stevenson

NEW YORK, R-Former Presi-
dent Harry Truman said Tuesday
there is no basis for a Republican
charge the Democrats may drop
Adlai Stevenson as possible
presidential nominee even before
next years convention.
Republican National Chairman
Leonard Hall had said Monday
Stevenson, defeated by President
Eisenhower four years ago, may
be dumped in midstream."

New York, might be engineering
such a plan.
Hartman has been prominently

OF KeeneIand's
Derby 1uneup
Nine Other Colts
Running in Toduy's
Blue Grass Stokes

LEXINGTON, KY, April %
(P1.-Prince Moor bypassed the
$25, 000-added Blue Grass Stakes
at Keeneland today, leaving
nine other colts to test their
staying power in this important
Kentucky Derby tuneup.
The Hasty House Farm colt
was out for an easy. 6-furlong
workout in lit today.
Trainer Harry Trotsek, who
planned to ship most of his
stable to Louisville later today,
said the son of Moor Miss

start in the Derby Trial at
Louisville Tuesday.

Jerrybuilt, to carry the Hasty
House banner in the Blue Grass.
Trotsex said that if Alibilt
raced we'll today the colt would
be entered in the Derby at
Churchill Downs a week from
Saturday.
Track observers figured that
jeans Joe. and Racing Fool
would be the likely co-favorites
today.
Meantime, another Blue Grass
entry was removed from the list
of Derby hopefuls.
Jack Hodgins, Dixiana trainer,
said he expected Make Ready
to give a good account of him.
self in the Blue Grass hut was
convinced the colt would not
be ready for the longer Derby
route.
The Blue Grass, furlong

chances for hopeful 3-year-olds
to earn a spot against heralded
Nashua and Summer Tan in the
May Z classic.

Sievers> Swishing at 1863
On Brink Of Being Benched
Griffs Take On
Hot Tigers After
Thinning Loss
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star staf Correspondent

DETROIT, April 2S.-1t's a
time of decision for the Sena-
tors Roy Sievers and his man
ager, Chuck Dresser. Sievers,
who is supposed to supply most
of the muscle in the clubs at
tack, must start hitting quickly
and vigorously or Dresser will
be forced to bench him.
Sieyers has contributed only
two hits-one an inf1eld tlickler
in his last 80 tries. His season
average has dipped to an in
credible 1853 and the man isn't
hitting in rough luck. He has
struck out in five of his last
nine attempts and didn't get
the ball out of the inf1eld on
the other four occasions.
Roy isn't just missing 'er1.

First Baseman Bill Skowron,
the American Leagues leading
hitter at .451, will be lost to the
Yankees for at least two weeks
and perhaps a month, Manager
Casey Stengel said on the teams
arrival at Kansas City today.
Skowron, who pulled a muscle
while running out a triple in the
Yankees 1874 loss at Chicago
yesterday. said today that he was
in terrible" pain. After he was
examined by physicians, the
club ordered him to fly back to
New York's Lenox Hill Hospital
for observation.
In addition, Stengel said Yogi
Berra, whose right index finger
was hit by a foul tip yesterday,
will be out of action tonight.
Berra will be given X-ray ex-
aminations- TO-DAY. Joe Collins
will replace Skowron and Elsten
Howard will sub for Berra.
Skowron. husky former Purdue
halfback. said something popped
III his right leg as he rounded
second on his third-inning triple.
He didn't say anything about it
until the fifth inning, when he
was taken out of the game. Later
he was barely able to hobble
about the hotel.
Pierce Cheers White SOx
The victory over the Yankees
boosted the White Sox back on
top and indicated that Billy
Pierce is out of the doldrums.
For this reason, Marty Marion is
not as worried as he might be
over the fact that the Indians
are moving up rapidly.
1t was Pierce's poor season
that wrecked the White Sox' pen
nant hopes year ago. The team
was in the race for a few months,
but tailed off near the end,
largely because the little south
paw strikeout artist was able to
compile only a 9-10 record.
Another reason was Whitley
Ford's mastery of the Chicago
ans. Eyerytime an important

series came UP between the rivals,
Ford was almost a sure bet to
give the Yankees the edge. Going
into this season, he had an ILL
record against the Sox.
The script was reversed yes
terday. Hank Bauer and Andy
Carey led off the game with
homers off Virgil Trucks and
Ford had 20 jump. He didn't
enjoy it long. Five of the first
six men he faced got hits. three
of them doubles. Johnny Sain
came in to throw two-run
homer to Sherm Lollar, and the
Sox were out front, So. Later
Walt Dropo cracked two homers,
Trucks was knocked out in the
third, but from there out Pierce
allowed only four hits and
famed seven.
Billy's poor showing this spring
had cost him his starting J0b
but he'll probably get it back
now.
Indians Win Marathon
Meanwhile the Indians tied
the Yanks for second place by
outlasting the Senators in a IT
inning struggle, 6-5. The Tigers
walloped Baltimore. 11-3. and
the Athletics dropped the Red
Sox, 60. as Cloyd Boyer pitched

homered.
