Basketball Top Ace Mikan
Retiring From Game at *30
To Practice Law Full Time
MINNEAPOLIS, —P r o u d
George Mikan, acclaimed the
greatest basket ball player of the
half-century, refused to let ad
vancing years blemish a magnifi
cent career Saturday and retired
from the game.
Around tfie 6-10 Minneapolis
Laker superstar swirled rumors
that he might bo enticed back by
a more attractive salary offer.
But Mikan, selected by the As
sociated Press in 1950 as basket
ball’s all-time great, denied that
i his decision was provoked by a
i salary squabble o'r that he would
reconsider. •
He said he was quitting to de
vote full time to his law practice,
and that at 30, he had few star
ring years left.
In seven years with the Lakers
in three leagues, the last the Na
tional Basketball Assn., Mikan
averaged more than 23 points per
game. At his peak three and four
years ago, he was hitting at a 25
plus average.
His lifetime scoring output as a
pro, 11,376 points, is more than
5,000 byeond any other player.

Kodiak Editor
Balked By Postal
Lottery Restrieton
ANCHORAGE — “Freedom o f
the press ... all I can say is . . .
Bah!”
Gripped by an ancient postal
restriction barring mention of
raffles or lotteries in articles sent
through the mail, the editor of
the Kodiak Mirror blew off steam
on the subject through the editor
ial columns of his newspaper.
The Kodiak Mirror issue of
Sept. 11 was banned from being
mailed to its more than 300 sub
scribers, because it carried an ac
count of the various winners in a
Kodiak Labor Day celebration.
, “Never was the nasty word or
any of its synonyms used in the
writeup,” states the editor, “but
it is claimed the suggestion of a
raffle or a lottery was still there.”
Big papers are given the privi
lege of freedom of the press,
where small papers are not, the
Kodiak newsman claims. Post
masters in the larger cities realize
that the book of regulations
“could have some restrictions in
it that are outdated and passed by
a Congress many years ago.”
The irate editor writes, “There
are many people right here in
Alaska that would label me as
having Communistic tendencies
for making such a bold assertion,
but I will back my record against
any of the so-called idealists . . .
■I volunteered for both wars, and
i have tried to be a good citzen,
helping out worthy causes to the
best of my ability. I was engaged
in an activity o'f this nature when
this controversy arose.”

CLIFTON FORGE, Va., ®-Mr.
and Mrs. Roy K. Dotson were en
route by auto to some grocery
shopping when Mrs. Dotson noted
a tour-foot snake under her feet.
White Dotson tried to swing off
the highway to park, Mrs. Dotson
hurriedly transferred to the rear
scat only to find the snake had
beat a retreat underneath the
front seat while she went over it.
Dotson cut his hand trying to
kill the snake, which finally took
refuge under the back seat. A re
luctant Mrs. Dotson entered the
front seat and kept a keen eye on
the back while Dotson drove into
town. He- got medical treatment
for the cut hand and help in dis
lodging the reptile.
It was identified as a harmless
variety.
