President Will Give Congress Long Range Aid Plan

WASHINGTON, .(P)-President Truman plans to lay the long range Marshall plan for European recovery before the special ses- sion of Congress starting Monday, even though action may be de- layed until the regular January meeting.
 The present plan is to submit the long-term program to Congress within the next two weeks it was learned today.
 There always .is a possibility that some hitch might develop, but at the moment, MT. Truman is go- ing forward on that basis.
 Previously, the President had said he was not sure whether the long range plan would be ready for the special session.
 The President is due to address a joint session of the Senate and House today and is expected to deal then with a short term emer- gency aid program and with anti inflationary measures at home.

RISE AGAIN

Prices which Montana farm
erS received on February IS
were at a much higher level
than for the same period in
1916, according to the all-com-
modify price index of the Blu
reau Of Agricultural Economics.
The index was Sc points above
February, 1916, and five points
above January prices. Large in
creases in meat animals and
grains and a smaller increase
in miscellaneous products more
than offset a drop in prices of
dairy products, chickens and
eggs.

Wheat, per bushel, from $1.81 to
$1.88; veal calves, per cwt., from

Bulldogs to
Try for Title
g Leave This
Morning for Divisional:
Meet Joliet Tonight

The ten members of the Har-
din high school basketball team,
accompanied by Coach Hugh
Gotham and Manager Harold
DeVore, left this morning for
Laurel, where they will try to
extend their winning streak to
20 and win southern division
honors.
Players making the trip are
Bob Saunders, Tommy Perkins,
Vernon OFT, Donald Hammer,
Jake Sturzenegger, Jr., George
Grossman, Bill Schafler, Lloyd
Saunders, Glen Kunau and
Bernard Newark.
The Bulldogs meet Joliet in
the second game tonight in the
first round pairings. Bracketed
with Hardin Is the klein-Ca-
thedral contest. In the other
bracket, played this afternoon
Laurel meets Harlowtown and
Holy Rosary of Bozeman takes
on Forsyth.
With their indicated record,
Vic ou40OSo d4C AdVOACo w OoAS
the meet, but will meet strong
competition from either Laurel
or Holy Rosary, both of which
have GOOD cage squads. Laurel
in particular has shown a spec
tacular. late season improve
ment.
Klein is considered weakest of
the four district winners, and
may have trouble with the Ca
thedral Greenies, who showed
IN we'll in the seasons and dis
trict tournament play. Forsyth
and Harlowtown are not
thought to be serious threats,
and first-round wins by them
would be in the nature of up
sets.
The chief difficulty which
the Bulldogs may experience is
the fact that it was impossible
for them to schedule enough
strong teams during the regular
season. School officials made
several efforts to get games
with Class A Montana teams
but were unsuccessful.
