Fast National Guard Nine !
Downs ACS-FAA 31-15
In softball competition Monday I
night the National Guard—club
staged a good imitation of a track
meet as they overwhelmed the
ACS-FAA nine by a 31-15 score.
“Corky” Kost led the winners
with four hits as he singled twice,
doubled and tripled. Pete Hahn
got but three hits for the Guard,
all home runs. Bill Caldwell also
collected three hits for the win
ners.
Frank Dimmit had a perfect
evening for the losers as he went
three for three. Ralph Zweigle and I
Frank Austin also hit safely three j
times.
Outstanding outfielder of the
evening was Keith Hedreen’s can
ine “Lady” who utterly frustrated
rightfielder Don Collis of the ACS
FAA club as he was chasing down
a base hit. The crowd applauded
Lady’s gallop through the right
field pastures.
Tonight the Polar Bar nine will
meet the ACS-FAA at 7 sharp.

Carpenters Stage
Walkout on Non
Contract Projects
ANCHORAGE, UP) — Large mil
itary construction projects have
been shut down in the wake of a
carpenter’s Union strike order and ■
many private jobs are following
suit.
Vernon Ingram, business agent
of Carpenters Local 1281 here,
said the carpenters have left the
big project at Clear and two char
tered planes have gone to Shem
ya to return men to Anchorage
off that job.
Joseph Agosto; of the National
Association of Home Builders, said
the jobs of all association mem
bers are shut down as they not
yet signed an agreement with
the Carpenters Unions.
A total of 17 jobs in the An
chorage area and 11 in the Fair
banks area are affected, he said.
The association will make every
effort to reach an agreement to
evert a strike, Agosto said.
Ingram said the largest local
project to be halted involves hous
ing construction at Ft. Richard
son. Approximately 75 carpenters
have left the Miller Brothers Con
struction Co.
More than 20 small indepen
dent contractors have signed the*:
agreement already and others are
expected to do so soon, Ingram
said. At least 200 union members
will continue working for these
small contractors during the
strike, Ingram predicted.
Principal demands of the union
include free room and board on
bush jobs, preferential hiring at
the rate of five for the union to
one for the contractor, and a 50
cent hourly wage increase, In
gram said.
A statement from the District
Engineer’s Office said almost all
military construction in Alaska
will be affected.
