Protests Dutch Policy

NEW YORK, Nov. IL UD.-Eight
hundred persons, many of them IN
donesians, yesterday attended a
mass meeting protesting what they
termed the Dutch governments pol
icy of suppression of the Indonesian
independence movement.
The immediate objective of the
rally was to express support for Ia
Indonesian seamen who left Neither
lands vessels in New York
and Baltimore recently in pro-
test against the Dutch policy.
Resolutions were passed asking
THAT President Truman and the
United States Far Eastern Advisory
Commission work to obtain permis-
sion for the Indonesians to establish
a democratic government; that the
United States Government grant
the ITS seamen safe conduct to In
donesian ports of their own selec-
ton; that the British government
be petitioned to withdraw imperial
forces from Indonesia; and that
President Truman be petitioned to
end leaSe-lend to the Netherlands

dent Soekarno told an audience of
$4,000 Nationalist youths at jog
iakarta that two entire Indonesian
quarters had been burned down
and the Chinese and Arab quarters
severely damaged.
One paradox in the fighting was
that both the British and Indo-
nesians held telephone exchanges
in Soerabaja and both were using
the same telephone lines to CON-
municate with their representatives
in Batavia.
Soebardjo disclosed that he hao
asked Gen. ChriStiSon for permis-

to make the talk last night, but
that at Gen. Christison's request he

Injunction Is Denied
In Renegofiation Case

A hree-judge tribunal of District
Court has dismissed suit for in
junction brought by the Mine Safety
Appliances Co. of Pittsburgh,
through which the firm sought to
prevent the Government from re-
covering money under the Renego-
tiation Act for alleged excess profits
made by the firm on contracts.
The suit brought by the firm was
against Secretary of the Navy For
restal. In the opinion written by
Justice Matthew F. Mcclure, it was
held that Mr.. Forrestal has nc
personal interest in the matter and
no official authority to grant the
relief asked"
The opinion said the United
States was the real party in inter-
est and that as the United States
had not consented to be sued the
court had no jurisdiction.
Justice Jennings Bailey of District
Court wrote brief concurring
opinion.
The three-judge tribunal did not
decide on the constitutionality of
the Renegotiation Act, the issue
raised in many suits filed in District
Court by firms seeking to stop rene
gotiation.
Justice Justin Miller of the Court
of Appeals was the third member of

third Southern Conference victory,

here tomorrow night, with the re-
suit being of great Importance on
future ratings. Indications point
to a record attendance.

margin of their chances has mar
rowed somewhat after last week S
near defeat by Virginia Military
Institute and States gallant stand
against powerful Wake Forest.
To prevent q repetition Of the
performance given against the
Cadets, Coach Rube McC-ay has
juggled the Indian lineup to give
the squad the maximum in power
and speed. Dixie Walker has been
moved to the blocking back posi-
ton in place of Nick Forkovitch,
who is on the injured list suffer-
ing from a bad leg resulting from
a shrapnel wound received while
overseas.
Other injuries among the Tribe
veterans has resulted in several
changes. Knox Ramsey, tackle,
has been shifted to left end to
replace Bob Sherry, out with a
bad ankle, while Denver Mills will
work at right end. Ben .Lum will
start in the left tackle position.
while Adolph Null will probably
replace Stan Magdziak at the wing
back post. McCray said that Doc
Holloway will more than likely
start in his regular position at left
guard; Frank Opella at center;
Hendrix in right guard; Wright at
right tackle; Tom Korczowskl IN
left half, and Chef Mackiewlcz
running as fullback.
The Indians will leave Williams

". ). c. is placed in the prob
ability class because its lone de-
feat, although by lop-side score.
came at the hands of the San
Diego Naval Training Station. a
service team. Outside of that the
Iro5ans right now seem to be the
pest OF the lot on the coast, St.
Mary's possibly excepted. The
coast teams knock each other
around so enthusiastically it's hard
to tell just what is what.
Tulsa and the Oklahoma Aggies
are placed in the possibility class
pending future developments, no.
tably their game against each 9TH
er.
Tennessee still is a possibility,
but an improbability, for it took
good shellacking from Alabama,
although judging from the class
shown by Alabama so far that is
no particular disgrace. T. c. U.
was beaten by Arkansas, and Duke
lost to Navy, and has the Army
game coming up this week.
Georgia Tech, it seems, saw its
chances dribble away in it's games
with Notre Dame and Navy, the
Notre Dame game being particu-
larly disastrous from the stand
point of prestige.
A defeat at the hands of good
team doesn't necessarily eliminate
team from bowl consideration.
In fact, in this day and age it
would border on the unbelievable
to have every bowl team unbeat-
en-. Not that there aren't enough
such teams around. It's just that
usually there are teams such as
Army or Navy or in the Big Ten
which would be logical choices but
are barred from such competition
by their own or conference rules.
So maybe we are counting some
teams out that will be in. Well
find out about that soon enough.

40 ET 8 ELEVEN
WINS FROM LIONS

In two Junior Varsity football
games at the American Legion
Stadium last night only the 40 and
8 club produced enough power to
score, as they romped over the
Lions in the first tilt of twin bill.
The Kiwanis and Jaycees eleven
fought to a 90 deadlock in the
second affray.
Coach Scott, who managed the
fine Junior Varsity grid squad last
season, got his charges off to a
good start in the race for the
championship of the four partlcl-
Mating tie m S. Charlie Smith,
former Varsity ace, stole the show
with his end runs and brilliant
punting. Smith crossed paydirt first
on a two yard plunge in the second
quarter. In the third period
Beigore, the tailback, Tipped a SIX
vard pass to Shorty" Stevens in
the end zone. Both extra points
were no good. Carl Brown showed
up well for the Lions, but as a
whole his teams favorlte plays
were not clicking.
In the second contest Billy Aud S
Jaycees and Bill McElwain's kl-
wants pigskinners both had fine
scoring opportunities, but either
fumbles or intercepted forward
passes sent them to the wind. LIN
wood Grissom, sta quarterback
for the Kiwanis eleven, threw a
q yard pass to end Joe Warren to
set up the first chance to cross
paydirt. A tumble on the ID yard
line cooled this threat though, and
the game was on an even keel I'M
til Red Dukes of the Jaycees
broke away on an end dash to 60
q yards to the Kiwanis eight. An
attempted pass by Paul Maultsby,
which was intercepted by Car!

out to the two and ruined TIL:
