Lots of Runs in Sunday Softball,
With Panthers, Guard Ending on Top
By KARL NESTVOLD «
Action in the Nome City Soft
bill League Sunday saw a steady
stream of runs crossing home
plate, as nearly 100 tallies were
marked up during the two after
noon games.
In fact, the scoring was so pro
fuse that there was some confu
sion among the scorekeepers as
to the final score of the second
game. The first game at 2 o’clock
was called after six innings, with
the league leading Bering Sea
Panthers defeating ACS by 32-4.
In the five inning second game,
however, runs definitely came
“cheaper by the dozen,” and al
though there remains some debate
on the actual margin, the Nation
al Guard nine was victorious over
the Polar Hornets by roughly
40-21.
League play continues Wednes
day evening on the diamond at
Little Leaguers
Hornets Down

Pentagon Plan
Might Cut Draft
Calls in Half
JUANTICO. Va., — Selective
Service Director Lewis B. Her
shey said Saturday monthly draft
calls may be cut in half if Penta
gon- economy efforts produce a
sizeable reduction in military
manpower.
Hershey said it would be “fair”
to expect a 50 percent drop in
draft calls if the military carry
out a plan now being contemplat
ed to cut manpower by about
200.000 over the next two or three
years.
The draft chief said, in an in
terview with the Washington
Evening Star, that with such a
cut, Selective Service inductions
might drop to 6,000 to 7,000 a
month, compared with the cur
rent monthly call for 13.000 men.
Hershey was among the top
military and civilian leaders of
the armed forces gathered at the
Quantico Marine Base for an an
nual conference with Secretary of
Defense Wilson.
Wilson told reporters he ex
pects “a gradual reduction of per- i
sonnel” .and a “mild stretchout”!
of military production to keep
defense spending within the S38
billion ceiling set by President
Eisenhower for the fiscal year
starting July 1.
Wilson did not specify any fig
ure in talking about manpower
cuts, but there were indications
the reduction would amount to
20.000 or more.
About 2.800,000 men are now
under arms.
It would be “dangerous” to let
draft calls drop too low, he said,
because local boards would tend
to fall apart, making it difficult
to maintain registrations.
Our nation must have two poli
tical parties — or how could
people vote when hard times come.

Two Americans Killed in Crash
Of Airliner Bound for Moscow
MOSCOW, t/P)—A twin-engined
Polish airliner carrying four
crewmen and eight passengers—
five of them Americans—crashed
in a storm Friday night while
coming into Moscow. Three of the
Americans were taken from the
wreckage alive. Two others were
reported, dead by an American
correspondent.
The three American survivors
were identified as Mrs. Margaret
Temper; her daughter, Michelle,
14, and Richard Cheverton, all of
Grand Rapids, Mich.
They were on a tour of the So
viet Union sponsored by televi
sion station WOOD-TV in Grand
Rapids. Cheverton is news direc
tor of the station.
Reported dead were Mr. and I
Mrs. Harvey Beuker. Beuker was
a Grand Rapids insurance man. I
In addition to the three passen- I
gers who escaped, the Polish |
stewardess survived.
i
Cheverton, interviewed in a '
Moscow hospital, said:
“The weather was fine after !
leaving Warsaw, until we ap- 1
proached Moscow, when we ran
into a storm. The plane began
kicking and bucking and the pilot :
went down to an altitude of about
600 feet, just under the clouds.
“Suddenly there was a noise,
and we were scraping tree tops.
Then there was a great down
draft, and the next thing I knew
I was in the mud. My seat and
seat belt had broken away.
“We saw lights and headed
thru the woods until we came to
a road. We tried to flag down
cars, but three passed us before a
bus stopped and three Russians
got out. We were unable to make
ourselves understood, but finally
they took us to a hospital.”
The average man will go a long
way to save his face, while a
woman need only go to the drug
store!
