 ROUNDUP
BY HUGH FULLERTON

NEW YORK, March 26.-The big task of the basketball rulemakers, according to the concensus of a dozen CT so coaches accosted here, is not to make any new rules for a while but to arrive at uniform interpretations of the old ones. The "act of shooting" definition is just one of many things that puzzle the pilots who take their teams in- to various sectors. Doc Carlson of Pitt; Elmer Ripley, who returns to Georgetown from Notre Dame next season; Harry Rabenhorst of Louisiana. State and John Bum, former Stanford coach now at Springfield College, were among those who agreed that the thing to do was to gather officials from all sections, stage demonstrations and then, by a give-and-take process, arrive at uniform interpreta ons. When I first went st the officiating was bad,' Bum explain cd. 50 we got the coaches and of ficials around table at an carly season game-before they had time to get mad about anything-and talked over the details.

British Studying Plan
For Four-Power Group
To Run Ruhr Economy
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 9.-British off,
cial experts were reported tonight
to be studying plan to establish
a four-power corporation to run
Germany's Rhur industries.
A reliable source said only those
industries which could be main
tanned for the benefit of the gen.
eral European economy would be
operated.
Aimed at preventing use Of the
power for any possible future Ger
man aggression. the plan was un-
derStood to call for dismantling all
heavy industries.
French May Accept Plan.
Directors appointed by Britain,
France, the United States and Rus
sia would administer the corpora
ton. Foreign Secretary Ernest Bev-
in told Commons recently he favored
internationalizing the Ruhr, but
that it should not be administered
by private individuals.
1IiC IIUlll, MI. beNlIlS SdlQ,
should be the productive unit for
Europe as a whole, including Russia. "
France has proposed complete po-
litical as we'll as economic inter-
naturalization of the Ruhr. Al
though the British plan would not
fulfill French desires, informed
quarters said France might accept
it. Both Britain and the United
States were said to be inclined
against permanent detachment of
the Ruhr from Germany politically.
Excessive Cuts Opposed.
Britain was reported opposed to
Ruhr production so much
that Germany would be prevented
from maintaining a liveable eco
nomic level.
Diplomatic sources said Russia
had suggested that Ruhr steel pro-
duction be held to 5,080O00 tons a
year, compared with 19,380,000 tons
in 1887.
These sources laid special i'm
portance to the corporation plan
in view of the recent French note

To Save Grain Lands in Famine

in this country is critical, Food Min
lister Hsu Kan told the Kuomintang
party congress today as dispatches
from Southern Hupeh province re-
ported $4,000 recent deaths from
famine and pestilence.
Hsu said Gen. George c. Marshall,
special American envoy to China,
would confer with UNRRA officials
on behalf of food for China during
bis forthcoming visit to Washing
ton. Gen. Marshall is expected to
leave here about March IS, after the
Kuomintang sessions end.
Hsu, blaming the crisis on the
general ruin of village economy due
to the war and the disordered condi-
ton of transport, suggested immedi-
ate efforts to obtain more food from
America and speedier repatriation
of Japanese prisoners.
The dispatches from Southern
Hupeh said famine conditions were
even worse in adjoining Human
province, famed as China's rive
bowl"
Hsu Kan said China was seeking
UNRRA permission to buy rice from
Indo-China, Burma and Siam.

SHANGHAI, Mar. 9.-Technicians
from the United States Navy Sea-
bees are directing a titanic race
against time to try to restore the
Yellow River to its prewar course
and salvage farm lands capable of
yielding 100000 bushels of grain
for this hungry country.
More than 10000 Chinese labor
ers are employed day and night on
the great project, initiated by
UNRRA, to rebuild a mile-long dixie
in Honan Province which the Chi
nese blasted in 1898 and stalled the
japanese advance.
Unless the break is sealed by
June, floods will sweep over the
land and all the present work will
be wiped out.
Before that deadline, 100000 per-
sons will have participated in the
project, with 10000 on the job at
all times.
If the project succeeds, the Yellow
River will be diverted back to its
eastern course and leave the broad
lands to the south fallow for fall
planting
Technical work is under the di-
rection of Howard j. Bolser of
Washington, and Alfred E. Hotter
of Berwick, Pa.

GaIe-Driven Ice FIoes
Crush Cottages at
Lake Huron Resorts
BY the Assoeioted Pres,

BAY CITY, Mich, Mar. 9.-Swept
inshore by strong wind gusts, huge
ice foes moved glacier like on Lake
Huron beach resorts before dawn
today. crushing community of cot
tageS under weighty impact.
In the wake of the freak ice ram
page were 46 destroyed summer
homes on fashionable Killarney and
Ricomo Beaches. Eleven others
were damaged.
The gigantic foes were lifted onto
the shore by wind and water and
cracked into tumbling blocks that
ground cottages off their founda-
t1ons. Some piled as high as 40
feet.
Damage Over 100000.
No injuries were reported. Police
said one family only partially clad
was removed from danger by neigh
bors.
Damage was estimated at more
than 100000" by State police, who
said that figure might increase
when the area is surveyed.
Some residences were twisted
around on their foundations at
angles ranging up to As degrees. Liv-
ing rooms and porches were filled
with chunks of ice, an eyewitness
reported. In one area, only the
housetops were visible over the ice
and several cottages were surround
ed completely.
Rumble of Ice Gave Warming
Residents of the resort section, S
miles northwest of Bay City, re-
ceived warning of the ice movement
only when the crushing mass had
approached their homes, driven by
wind which had shifted around
2 am. to blow inshore from Saginaw
Bay.
One man was awakened when his
glassed-in porch collapsed under
the pressure. Another heard a grind
ing sound outside his window and
looked out to find the ice only a
foot away.
Although the area is primarily a
summer resort, many families oc-
cupied the cottages because of the
AioaoiiS Siioi ldSe.
Ice Piles 40 Feet High.
Piled as high as 10 feet along the
Worst-hit 300-yard stretch of the
beach, the cold mass stood immov-
able late today with only slight
evidence of melting. Police said an
other shift in the wind from Saginaw
Bay might force the ice beyond its
present $50 to ITS foot deep pene-
tration of the shore.
Roads leading to the scene were
blocked to all but property owners,
who started salvaging operations
after the wind died down and the ice
movement apparently had stopped =.
One cottage was upset by the foes
and burned when an oil stove caught
fire. Electric service was cut off to
the entire section.
