The School of Mines instructor
was Leo Mark Anthony, a gradu
ate mining engineer from the Uni
versity of Alaska. The class ex
pressed appreciation to Mr. An
thony for the exceptionally well
planned lectures and explanations
covering many of the problems ■
and methods of both lode and
placer mining in this area. Mining
laws were especially interesting
to those actually interested in
prospecting as well as laboratory
work throughout the four weeks I
of study.
In appreciation, the class pre- j
sented Mr. Anthony with a hunt- j
ing knife engraved with his name
and surprised him with a party
of cake and ice cream.
It is estimated that Americans
use about 500 billion matches a
year.

Wally Alston
Named Manager Of
Brooklyn Dodgers
BROOKLYN, UP)—Walter (Wally)
Alston, manager of the Montreal
Royals of the International
League, was appointed manager
of the Brooklyn Dodgers Tuesday.
Alston, 42, succeeds Chuck
Dressen, who surprised the base
ball world Oct. 14 by resigning
shortly after he had piloted the
Dodgers to a second National
League pennant in a row. Dressen,
who quit after the Brooklyn club
rejected his demand for a two or
three year contract, now is mana
ger and part owner of the Oak
land Pacific Coast League Club.
The new Dodger manager, a
native of Hamilton, Ohio', played
only one major league game dur
ing his career. That was at first
base for the St. Louis Cardinals in
1936.
His 1953 Montreal team finished
second to Rochester, but the Roy
als won the playoffs, then defeat
ed the Kansas City Blues, four
games to one, in the Little World
Series.
The new contract was for one
year, a Dodger policy.
Walter Emmonds Alston, who
won a pennant as manager of St.
Paul in the American Association,
went to Montreal in 1950. He has
been in the Brooklyn farm system
eight and a half years.
Alston, who was born Dec. 1,
1911, got his first managing chore
at Portsmouth, Ohio, in 1940, from
Branch Rickey, former Dodger
president. He now lives at Oxford,
Ohio.
Eisnehcwer Tells Penalties
imposed By Character
Assassination from Behind
WASHINGTON, UPi — President
Eisenhower, starting a Thanks
giving holiday Tuesday, says no
one can “assassinate your charac
ter from behind without suffering
the penalties an outraged citizenry
will impose.”
That was the code of the Old
West where he grew up and it is a
code Americans still cherish, the
President declared Monday night
in accepting the B’nai B’rith Anti
Defamation League’s annual Dem
ocratic Legacy Award.
Eisenhower arranged to leave
by plane yesterday for Augusta,
Ga., for a vacation of golf and a
Thinksgiving Day turkey dinner
with his family.
Eisenhower said he had been
briefed at length by his staff on
civil liberties and the league’s
role in standing up for them.
“In this country, if someone dis
likes or accuses you, he must come
up in front. He cannot hide behind
the shadow. He cannot assassinate
you or your character from be
hind, without suffering the penal
ties an outraged citizenry will
impose.”
If Eisenhower had any individ
uals in mind in talking about such
penalties, he named no names.
Final, Fatal Blow
Dealt Against
Federal Sales Tax
WASHINGTON, UP> — House
Speaker Joseph W. Martin <R
Mass) appeared Tuesday to have
delivered a final, fatal blow
against any prospect that Con
gress would enact a general sales
tax next year.
Martin, returning from a two
month tour abroad, told a news
conference Monday he doubts a
sales tax could pass the House.
That made it just about unani
mous among House leaders on
both sides of the aisle.
Democratic leaders, after a can
vass of sentiment, predicted last
week that 95 percent of their
party members would vote against
any national sales tax. And Re
publican Floor Leader Charles
Halleck (R-Ind) joined the anti
sales tax forces over the weekend.
Reps. Jere Cooper of Tennessee
and Daniel Reed of New York—
the senior Democrat and senior
Republican, respectively, on the
tax writing House Ways and
Means Committee—also have op
posed the idea.
Martin’s statement, climaxing
an almost solid show of opposition
from both parties, touched off
speculation that the Eisenhower
administration now would aban
don further consideration of the
tax.
Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey has said he is consid
ering a general manufacturers’
sales or excise tax, along with
other proposals. President Eisen
hower has spoken out against a
federal retail sales tax, but left
the door open to manufacturers’
level tax.
Hope Seen For
Development Of
Alaska’s Timber
WASHINGTON, UP) — The chief
of the Forest Service’s timber
management division voiced hope
Tuesday for a new program for
development of Alaska’s vast tim
ber stands.
Ira Mason, just back from a trip
to the Pacific Northwest,. said the
impetus could come from any one
of three groups which have pro
posals for moving into the north
ern territory.
Ihe president of one of these
groups—an organization of Jap
anese lumbermen—is to arrive in
the United States Dec. 9, Mason
said, and is expected in Washing
ton a short time later, presumably
to go into further detail on the
Japanese plans.
Mason said he met with officials
of the other two groups as an in
cidental part of his northwest trip.
They are the Georgia Pacific Co.,
which wants to build a $54,174,
090 newsprint plant near Juneau,
and the Pacific Northern Timber
Co. of Portland, Ore., which pro
poses a $4,502,570 sawmill near
Wrangell, Alaska.
Asked if it appeared likely that
any of the three projects would
jell within the next 12 months, the
Forest Service spokesman had no
direct answer.
“None of them is to the point
where it is assured, but all of
them are being worked on,” he
replied.
