Talented Young
People Urged To
Try Out For TV

Children of Nome who wish to
compete for the trip to New York
to appear on the TV show for
the Youth Center are urged to
register with Chief Carl Webb be-
fore Saturday.
CHS has asked for at least two
Eskimo dancers, plus one other
act. This is chance of a life
time for some Nome children.
Mrs Virginia Brown has DON
ated the use of the theater for
the selection of the talent to
make the trip.
Children who participate do not
have to be professionals. All that
is wanted is for the children to
put on an act to show the TV
audience in the states what the
people of northern Alaska do for
entertainment.
The committee has announced
that the dance sponsored by the
CAP Cadets last Saturday brought
in $50281 but out of this must be
paid the rent for gym, sanitation,
tickets and dance floor wax
Donations by any individual or

SeatOn Confirmed
AS
Interior Secretary

WASHINGTON, R-The Sen
ate today confirmed the nomina-
ton of Fred A. Seaton to be Sec
rotary of the Interior by unani-
nous vote.
The action followed unanimous
approval of the Nebraska publish
er, cattle raiser and former SEN
ator by the Senate Interior Com
mittee yesterday.
Both Democratic leader Lyndon
B. johnson of Texas and Republi-
can leader Knowland of Califor-
MIA commended the appointment
and said they were happy to see
former colleague elevated to the
cabinet.
The only other speaker was Sen.
Neuberger O-Ore) who said he
had voted to confirm ,Seaton in
the Interior Committee but felt he
must point out that the Nebraskan
was becoming head of the Interior
Department in an administration
"that has done more damage to
true conservation than any in
modern times"
The Oregon senator said Seaton
is faced with numerous tough
questions including whether to APP
prove a high federal dam at the
Hell's Canyon site on the Oregon
Idaho border, whether to resist
what Neuberger called encroach-
ments on the nations park Sys-
tenn, whether to grant mining
claims and oil and gas leases on
public lands, and several others.
How he meets these challenges,
Neuberger said, will determine
whether Seaton goes down in his
tory as another Douglas Mckay
or Clifford Pinchot."
Seaton succeeds Mckay in the
interior post.

Eisenhower Says Aid to Yugoslavia
Must Be Restudied In The Light of
Tito's New FriendIiness To Moscow

then it will have to spend many
more billions of dollars COM
pared to the foreign aid total-for
what Eisenhower called this neg
alive, static general defense pro-
gram.
Politics came up with question
as to whether Eisenhower planned
to give Sen. Wiley R-Wis) any
help in his primary campaign.
The Wisconsin state Republican
convention recently refused to en-
dorse Wiley, a strong administra-
ton supporter on foreign policy,
for a third term. The convention
endorsement went instead to Rep.
Glen R. Davis, who is backed by
Sen. Mccarthy, among others.
Eisenhower replied Wiley him.
self had issued a statement saying
he neither wanted nor expected
administration help in his pri-
mary contest.
A reporter said at the time
Douglas Mckay resigned as Secre-
tary of the Interior to run for the
us. Senate from Oregon Essen
hover had in effect endorsed Nc
Kay's candidacy even though
there were other COP candidates
bidding for the nomination.
The President replied he had
misunderstood the situation in
Oregon when he gave Mckay his
blessing in advance of the pri-
mary. Eisenhower said it had
been his understanding the other
COP candidates were going to
withdraw.

By MARVIN L. ARRoWSMITH

WASHINGTON, tR President
Eisenhower said today the whole
question of whether to continue
United States aid to Communist
Yugoslavia must be restudied in
the light of Marshal Tito's new
friendliness with Moscow.
His statement came at a news
conference in which he:
l. Plugged hard for enactment
of the administrations $4,900,000,-
600 foreign aid program. The
House Foreign Affairs Committee
has voted $1,109,000,000 cut.
2. Drew away from taking sides
in primary contests between Re
publicans. Eisenhower said he be-
lieves it is not the place of the
President of the United States to
intervene in primaries.
Also on the political front, Ell
senhower declined to shed any
light on whether he may cam
paign more vigorously this fall
than he indicated in February. He
said at that time he would do no
transforming or whistle stop
speaking, and would confine his
efforts to mass communication
approaches that is, through
newspapers, television and radio.
Eisenhower launched his con-
ference with a call for support in
Congress for his foreign aid pro-
gram.
The President said that unless
this country continues the pro-
gram on an earnest, sincere basis,

Management of Alaska
Juneau Mine UnSeated

SAN FRANCISCO, .tR-A stock
holders committee headed by
Charles J. Yer Halen Jr., of Los
Angeles, yesterday unseated the
management of the Alaska Juneau
Mining Co., by electing four out
of seven directors at the post
poned annual meeting.
The new management, charged
in its proxy solicitation that the
management had failed for II
years to meet operating expenses,
declare a dividend, and to increase
assets. The committee promised to
revitalize the company.
Yer Halen told reporters num-
Der of situations had been pre-
scented to the committee which
seemed interesting on their sur
face but which would have to be
studied before action could be
taken.
He said he could not comment
on reopening the mine at Juneau
until the matter had been dis
cussed with competent authorities.
The mine was shut down April 9,
1914 after the price of gold was
pegged at $35 an ounce.

Del. Harrington of Hawaii
Will Make No Predictions
On Outcome of Statehood

WASHINGTON, up Delegate
Harrington CIR Hawaii declined
today to make an predictions on
the outcome of new move to
obtain congressional action on the
Hawaii statehood bill.
Il hope it will be successful, !"
she said, "but I'm not predicting
anything"
Yesterday, Rep. Saylor R-Pa)
interrupted a routine committee
session with a preferential motion
to discharge the Hawaii state
hood bill from subcommittee and
instruct the full committee chair
man to take all necessary parlia-
mentary steps to bring it before
the House for action.
Saylor yielded to protests his
motion came without warning
and withdrew it with the under
standing it would be renewed
next Tuesday.
Acknowledging Saylor's move
was no surprise to her, the Hawaii
delegate said she has continued to
work for Hawaii statehood ever
since the joint bill failed in the
House last session.
"The only question" she said,
"has been one of timing"

Q Trucking Is
Only Bidder On
Road to Fairbanks

Bid opening for the haulage and
placement of $4,000 cubic yards
of gravel for the Nome-Kougarok
road was made yesterday at 2
pm. in the office of the Alaska
Road Commission.
@ Trucking Co. submitted the
only bid at $235 per cubic yard.
However, according to Frank
Morris, ARC. area engineer, the
bid bond, 10 per cent of the
amount bid, was not in order
The bid has been forwarded to
Irving Reed, territorial highway
engineer for action, which should
be forthcoming in day or two.
Approximately $4,000 had been
allocated for local contractors to
supply gravel for the road, which
is eventually to become the high
way to Fairbanks.
According to Morris difficulty
in arranging bid bond prevented
other local contractors from bid
ding on the JOB.

Stevenson Sweeps to Thunderous
Victory Over Senator kefauver In
California Primary Election Today

DAN fhHNOIoOO, Hf-AQldl T..
Stevenson swept to a thunderous
California victory today that all
but knocked Sen. Estes Kefauver
out of the running for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
Stevenson took CALIFORNIA; IS
Democratic convention votes away
from Kefauver by what approach
ed landslide margin and forged
so far ahead of his rivals that he
looked like the man to beat for
his party's nomination. He was
getting 81 per cent of the Demo
cratic vote in California
Including yesterdays Califor-
mia, Montana and South Dakota
primaries, Stevenson has 2591s
Democratic convention delegates
and Kefauver 166. Other candi-
dates have 226 total and 37O12
are uncommitted publicly.
Despite his California showing,
the former Illinois governor ap-
parently failed to match in his
own ballot total the count rolled
up by an unopposed 70-vote dele
gate slate backing President Ell
senhower for the COP nomina-
ton.
But in their bitterly-fought pri-
mary yesterday the combined vote
Democrats gave Stevenson and
Kefauver topped substantially the
ballots cast in he unexciting COP
contest Registered Democrats
outnumber Republicans by $4,000
in the state, which Eisenhower
won from Stevenson by 10000 in
1852.
With 1877 of 24,160 precincts
counted, the Democratic contest
stood: Stevenson 710,870. Ke-
fauver 436,601.
The Republican count from 49,
$50 precincts, fewer than tabu-
lated in the Democratic contest
gave Eisenhower 686,374. On this
basis Eisenhower was certain to
top Stevenson.
Conceding defeat Kefauver said
he will continue campaigning for
the Democratic nomination. He
said he will not accept a vice
presidential place on the ticket
an offer not likely to come to
him if Stevenson wins the top
spot

Pirate Nine Opens Here
Tuesday With CeLina Hiqh

Coach Joe Harris major problem
with his high school baseball team
was trying to inject some hitting into
the lineup as the Pirates prepped to
open their Western Buckeye League
season with Celina Tuesday at Har-
mon Field.
The season opened Wednesday at
Spencerville, too late to appear in this
issue Of the News.
Harris said this week that the
Pirate players this year would wear
protective caps while batting. A
scholastic ruling states that all
players at the plate must wear the
plastic helmets which fit under the
baseball cap. The coach pointed out
that this addition could possibly i'm
prove his teams hitting as they will
not be SO leary of moving up to the
plate.
The opener with Celina finds the
Pirates meeting the "favorite" team
in the WBL. The Bulldogs, along with
Van Vert and st. Marys appear to
be the class of the league. Shawnee
and Wapak should be on par with the
locals and not much is expected from
Kenton, playing the diamond sport
for the first time this season.
Shawnee, regional qualifier last
year, has only two lettermen return
ing this year. The Indians, along with
Conner, Class B regional qualifiers,
shut the Pirates out by identical 30
scores.
Harris starting lineup for Tues
days contest is expected to be Jim
Berry or Jim Fisher pitching. These
two will alternate between the mound
and second base. Catching will be

amazed at the speed with which
Kirkendall threw the softball. He
later starred with the state cham
pion Ferguson Auditors and the
world champion Ft. Wayne Zollner
Pistons.
But in all this time and with all
the stars, Triplett could never win a
county championship. 1t was not until
the team was managed by Charles
Steiner that this was accomplished.
Later Ken Moser piloted the locals to
three county titles.
Attendance the past few years has
been at a minimum. The stadium at
Harmon Field, which a few years
before, with the advent of night soft
ball in the community, had sometimes
been filled almost to capacity, was
conspicuous in its emptiness.
Now the sport which gave so
many fans plenty of stirring thrills
over the years appears to be passing
from the local scene.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1956-04-05

A 25-year era in Bluffton sports
appeared likely to come to an end
this summer. 1t seems that for the
first time in that many years the
town will not be represented with a
softball team.
Lack of a sponsor for a local team
and the increasing lack of interest
by both players and spectators local
ly were cited as the reasons for the
fading of the sport from the athletic
scene.
The Triplett Electrical Instrument
Co., which has fielded a team in
Bluffton every year since the early
1905, is not contemplating a team
this year, according to Arden Baker,
personnel manager. Baker has acted
as business manager of the team for
a number of years. The Triplett team
was Allen county champion four of
the past five years.
Softball in the community was
extremely popular in the middle 30's.
More than 100 men and boys partic
ipated in the organized league play
at Harmon Field. Six diamonds were
used for the games played each
Tuesday and Thursday nights.
Then, with the start of home-and-
home games with out-of-town teams
the best players from these local
teams were absolved and the local
league play fizzled out. In the past
10 years it was not possible to get
enough players for more than two
or three teams and these showed up
spasmodically. League play has not
been attempted for five or six years.
The leagues of the mid-30's finally
narrowed to two local teams. On the
team were the "old-timers" who had
been the backbone of the leagues for
several years. On the other were the
younger men and boys just out of
high school who played under the
name "Sea Rovers". This team was
managed by Jesse Manages and it

Buttons colleges baseball team
under the tutelage of Coach A. c..
Burcky, who is starting his 34th year
as diamond mentor at the institution,
meets two formidable opponents on
the home field within the next week.
The Beavers face an always better
than average Alma, Mich, college
nine in their opener at the college
field Friday. Game time is 2 p. m.
The game was scheduled earlier be-
cause of the Booster Banquet Friday
night. The second foe will be the
Findlay Oilers. They play here at
3:15 p. m. Wednesday.
Nothing definite is known about
either the Scots or the Oilers. The
Michigan school is rated by Burcky
to be in class with Toledo or Cen
trail State and should give the Beaver
coach some insight as what he can ex-
pect from his squad this season.
Findlay is repeatedly using the
same strategy being used at the local
institution. With only two days prac-

tice out-of-doors through Monday of
this week Burcky stated his starting
lineup would not be known until game
time Friday. 1t is expected a number
of freshmen will see action in the
contest.
The Beaver battery for the game
is certain, however. Jim Bishop, SEN
ior Highlander, will be on the mound
with Roger Bixel, junior, behind the
plate. Both are lettermen. Other mon
ogram winners returning to the squad
are Jim Roberts and Jerry Schiller,
pitchers, and Snyder and Erwin, out
fielders. Players who saw action last
year who are available to the squad
include Knorr and Roth, both infeld-
ers, and Ropp, an outfelder.
While the Beavers are entertaining
Alma the Findlay team will play host
to Hillsdale, Mich, another potential
ly strong opponent. This contest will
give Burcky an idea of what the Oil
ers have this season.
For the benefit of local business
men who would like to see the Bea-
vers play this season, Burcky an
nounced that two games have been
scheduled for Thursday afternoons on
the local field. Central State plays
here May 10 and Defiance is sched-
uled May II. Huntington, Ind, plays
here Saturday, April 21.
All home games except the opener
Friday will start at 3:15 p. m. so as
not to interfere too greatly with col
lege classes.

supplied many of the players who
later played on the Triplett team.
The "battle" for talent made the
current war between Canadian and
American professional football teams
look like small stuff.
1t was in the days of the "Sea
Rovers" that the much talked-about
all-day tournaments were held on
Harmon Field. A team might play
two or three games in a day and
large crowds turned out to see them
in action. And, they included some
of the best material in all Ohio. One
of the pitching stars of the area was
Howard Tripplehorn, former Bluffton
high school and University of Michi-
gan athletic star, shortly graduated
from the Ann Arbor school.

greatest pitchers ever to be seen in

Q-Is there any way to overcome
binding when saving wood?
A-Binding is most likely to occur
in long cuts, particularly if the wood
is damp or green. The end of a
screw driver or a wedge shaped
piece of wood should be inserted in
the cut, after the saw. This will min
imize binding.
Q-What are the common causes
of damp basement walls?
A-There are three frequent causes.
First, the bricks or cement blocks of
the foundation may be faulty, or they
may be joined in a faulty way.
Second, there may be cracks in the
wall that were formed as the build
ing settled and uneven weight was
placed on various parts of the found
alton. Last, the pressure of water on
the outside of the foundation may be
so great that water is forced through
the pores of the foundation.
