Los Angeles Residents
Evicted To Make Way For
New Dodgers’ Stadium
’ LOS ANGELES, (#> — There
was no joy in Chavez Ravine Sat
turday — just the sound of bull
dozers clearing the site for the
Los Angeles Dodgers’ new ball
park.
Fifteen residents were evicted
amid screaming, crying and curs
ing Friday.
, “Why don’t they play ball in
Mayor Poulson’s backard — not
in ours!” Mrs. Abrana Arechiga,
63, shouted in Spanish at 14 sher
iff’s deputies.
Poulson supported the stadium
deal.
The mayor’s office said the
home was condemned years ago,
before the Dodgers came to town.
The land was taken under emi
nent domain powers as a site for
ji a housing development which nev
er came about. The sale to the
Dodgers came after the housing
plan had been scrapped.

Truman Lauded
As Great Man,
On 75th Birthday
NEW YORK, — The nation
saluted Harry S. Truman on his
75th birthday Friday night.
It was a coast-to-coast party
where the fast-stepping little man
from Missouri heard himself de
scribed as a man who grew to
greatness.
The tributes came from Demo
crats and Republicans, liberals
and conservatives, the great, the
not-great, friends, family and old
rivals. There was song and
laughter.
When it was all over, the usually
voluble Truman admitted he was
at a loss for words. “I don’t know
what there is to say,” he said.
“No man in my recollection has
had a treat such as you have given
me tonight. I can’t talk politics
under circumstances like this. I
will always remember.”
His birthday party was marked
by 66 parties in cities across the
country. Sixteen of them were
linked by closed-circuit television.
Here in New York, House
Speaker Sam Rayburn told him
“Harry, history is going to forget
the few times that you have not
taken dead aim, but have shot
from the hip. They are going to
remember you for the great things
you have done.”
One of the most dramatic mo
ments came when Eleanor Roose
velt described the April day in
1945 when she told Vice President
Truman that President Roosevelt
was dead. Of Truman she said:
“The character of my friend was
proven on that terrible day. He
was frightened — as he should
have been. For no man had ever
been placed so abruptly in such
a seat of responsibility.
“And yet there was never in
him the slightest hint that he
would try to evade what fate had
thrust upon him. I knew then he
was a good man. Later I thrilled
to watch him grow to greatness.”
In Chicago Adlai Stevenson
urged Democrats to remember
“that we will continue to serve
our nation only if we remain as
perpetually young and helpful,
as open to new ideas, and as eager
for new initiatives, as faithful and
fearless, as modest and as proud,
above all, as human and as free
as Harry Truman.”
Throughout it all Truman sat
| in the chair of' honor on the
| flower-decked dais of the Waldorf
Astoria’s Grand Ballroom.
Congratulations, GRADS!

Rhodes Scholarships Are
Offered To Paragons
Of Alaskan Youth
Alaska will this year nominate
two candidates for Rhodes schol
arships to Oxford University. Dr.
Courtney Smith, president of
Swarthmore College and American
secretary of the Rhodes Scholar
ships, last week announced that
the 49th state will be included
in the 1959 competitions. Alaskan
candidates for Rhodes scholarships
will compete with candidates from
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon
tana, Wyoming and North Dakota.
Humanitarian Cecil Rhodes,
who stated terms of the scholar
ships in his will, planned a basis
for the selection of scholars that
was rigorous and far-sighted.
Candidates must, in the first place,
exhibit outstanding academic abil
ities. Rhodes flatly stated that he
was not interested in the “book
worm.” He trusted the selection
committees to recognize genuine
ability rather than, as an earlier
American secretary wrote, “indus
trious mediocrity.”
A Rhodes Scholar must have
qualities of manhood, truthful
ness, courage, devotion to duty,
sympathy for and protection of
the weak, kindliness, unselfish
ness, and fellowship. Further, he
must exhibit moral force of char
acter and instincts to lead and to
take an interest in his fellow men.
Rhodes was seeking scholars who
rather than their own special,
would be interested in public,
welfare.
Qualified candidates who wish
to compete for the Rhodes Schol
arship in Alaska should address
their inquiries to Mr. Elmer Ed
win Rasmuson, National Bank of
Alaska, Anchorage. Applications
are due on or before November 4,
1959. The thirty-two Rhodes schol
ars elected in December, 1959, will
enter Oxford University, England,
in October, 1960.

Siberian Russia Population
Increases As Soviets Seek
To Industrialize Asia
MOSCOW, UP! — The Soviet
Union’s first census in 20 years
discloses a huge increase of popu
lation in the Urals, eastern Siberia
and central Asia.
The increases reflect the deter
mined effort to transfer part of
the Soviet population to eastern
parts of the country and indus
trialize those areas. These parts
have been thinly populated com
pared to neighboring Red China.
The census report did not give
totals on the shift to the east. But
it said the population in the Urals
— which might be compared geo
graphically to the Middle West of
the United States — had increased
32 per cent since 1939.
Western Siberia’s is up 24 per
cent, eastern Siberia 34 and the
population of the far eastern pro
vinces has boomed 70 per cent.
The Soviet Union’s population
was reported at 208,800,000, an
increase of 18,000,000 since the
last census in 1939. By compari
son, the United States population
is estimated at 175,600,000, or
24t£ million more than the last
! national census in 1950.
