Yugoslav- Pact
Predicted byDimitrov;;
Greek Regime Is Hit
BY The Associoted Press

SOFIA, Bulgaria, July 26.-Georgi
Dimitrov, Bulgaria's Communist
Premier, said in an interview with
the Athens Communist paper Rio
spastis available here today that
Bulgaria in the mot distant future"
would conclude a treaty of friend
ship, collaboration and mutual aid
with Yugoslavia.
He said Bulgaria had sincere
feelings and sympathies' toward
Greece, but suffered from constant
Greek border provocations, though
she did mot interfere in Greek in
ternal affairs"
''The present neo-Fascist reaction,
which by means of foreign aid
caused the Greek civil war;" he de-
clared, "is a constant danger for
Balkan peace
Mr.. Dimitrov said that mot mu-
tual theological reasons but the vital
and supreme national interests of
Bulgaria dictate imperatively the
closest friendship and cooperation
with the Soyiets."
He pronounced himself convinced
that the Slav countries together
with what he called other forces Of
world democracy would be the
Imightiest barrier against attempts
to prepare a new war for world
mastership of one or another i'm
perialistic country"
He said the difference between
the opposition in Bulgaria and in
Greece was that Bulgaria's opposi-
tion was "antidemocratic" and
aimed at coup d'etat while Greece's
was fighting for freedom. democ-
racy and independence"
He said he was sure good inter-
national relations could be estab-
lished in the Balkans but only when
Balkan countries had true democ-
racy," not formal democracy, and
only If they avoided interference in
their internal affairs by imperial
lists of international capitalistic
trusts"

ANNAPOLIS, July 26.-Capt. Frank
T. Ward, jr., who headed ups the
Nays aviation training program
during the war, has the traditional
happy ship" goal for his tour as
commandant of midshipmen at the
Naval Academy.
The slow-spoken native of Ra-
leigh, N. c., puts it this way: "A
taut ship is happy ship. 1t is a
ship in which the discipline is strict
but just"
Capt. Ward, who replaced Rear
Admiral Stuart H. Ingersoll in the
academy post, is at present COM
mandant over the plebe class alone,
since the rest of the middies are on
cruise.
Would Ease Privileges.
One of the changes he is consider
ing is increasing privileges for midi
shipmen, but he qualities his thought
on this, saying "if the midshipmen
are to be treated as junior officers,
it is up to them to prove they are
capable of the responsibility as they
are receptive to privileges"
AS for hazing-frequently target
of critics-Capt. Ward says that is
out. There will be no laying on OF
hands," he declares.
Capt. Ward says the present first
classic graduate next June-has
drawn up a list of rules of conduct
which provides for discipline but
eliminates the rough stuff.
Capt. Ward himself has seen
enough of Navy life to know it isn't
all a round of social life. He was a
lieutenant for IS years before the
war and says, then we were Won
dering whether we were going to be

Farmers Union To
Defend State Title

The Laurel Farmers Union base
ball team will be playing in Lewis
town this week end to defend the
state semi-pro baseball champion
ship they won last year at Roundup.
Eight teams from all parts of the
state will be fighting it out Friday,
Saturday and Sunday in a single
elimination tournament sponsored
this year by the Junior Chamber of
Commerce of Lewistown. From re-
ports received, Laurel has a healthy
task cut out for themselves if they
are to retain their hold on the
championship. Great Falls and
Havre are considered to be two of
the favored teams this year, while
Lewistown has obtained the services
of Lefty Marens, probably the top
pitcher in the state and who Laurel
has always found difficult to sub
due. The winner of this tournament
will be matched with the Wyoming
finalist for the right to move into

a no hit, no u game.
Laurel scored in the first inning
when Wilson tripled after Void had
walked, but lost the lead when they
committed three errors, permitting
two runs in the bottom half of the
first inning. Wagner, who started
on the mound for Laurel, gave up
only four hits in six innings but
Roundup went ahead to pile up four
runs in the fourth on a series of
walks and errors. They added four
more in the sixth. Ruff relieved
Wagner, allowing one hit and three
before the game ended. Lau-
rel threatened in the ninth by filling
the bases and with two out Wilson
a long fly that looked good for
extra bases for a moment but was
too high and the left fielder was
able to get underneath it to retire
the side.
Meznarich went the distance for
Roundup, giving up five hits, walked
two, struck out II and hitting even
batters. Wagner and Ruff together
gave up five hits, struck out nine,
but issued II walks. Yeager, Lau-
rel second baseman pulled the field
ing play of the game when he made
a running stab at a line drive.

Powell Juniors To
Play Here Sunday

Sunday, July 20, at 2 p. M, the
Powell American Legion Junior nine
will play their second encounter
with the local Juniors. Laurel was
victorious in the first game at
Powell last week by a score of ~
to a when they played their best
game this season. A big inning
with two consecutive homers follow
ed by two doubles and two singles
broke the morale of the host team
and Laurel coasted on to an easy
win.
Sundays game should prove to
be interesting for the fans as
Powell will be cunning to even the
score by defeating the home town
boys, who will in turn be fighting
to maintain supremacy, now thai
they have found one sport in which
they can win over the boys from
the next state.

Farmers Union Lose
First League Game

A hot Fromberg nine threw every
thing they had at the league lead
ing Farmers Union last Sunday in
Fromberg to hand Laurel their first
loss in nine league games this year.
Paul Stark was at top form on the
mound for the victors and officially
gave up only one hit to win the
game 3 to 1. Meleski pitched a
fine game for Laurel but his team
mates were unable to come through
with those all important base hits
that produce runs. Fromberg was
aided materially by the Laurel boys
in the first inning when three errors
and two hits permitted all three of
the Fromberg uns. Laurel's only
came in the second inning when
Anderson put a long fly deep into
field and reached third after
the center fielder failed to catch it
and was chalked up with an error.
The official hit of the game for
Laurel came when Peers drove home
the run with a sharp single into
left field. Peers then stole second
and went to third on a bad throw
but was the only other Laurel runner
to get past first. Laurel hit into
two double plays that took away
any chance of a rally they might
have had. Fromberg played almost
errOrless ball and were in there all
the time to hang On to that early
.ead and should they continue with

the second round of the national
semi-pro tournament in Wichita,
Kan. Last year Laurel did not take
part in the national playoffs, but
should they come out of Lewistown
with another title, they will attempt
to go all the way this year.
The first Laurel opponent at
Lewistown will be Havre, Friday,
July IS, at 2:30 p. m. Havre, n
of the favored teams in the league,
has gained some players from
Canada, so this promises to be n
of the cruical games of the tourney

Ithe Federal Government, appar-

the Federal Government, sppar-
emily without the least difficulty at
all, performed services for the
Standard Oil Company Of California
with the knowledge Of the said Mr.
Collier = from which he now de-
mands SIS 900 for expenses. He
complains In his suit that, when he
was thought to be on his deathbed
In Roosevelt Hospital In New York
he was persuaded to compromise
this claim for SIS, 900 and a sever
ance claim Of $50, 900 for $4,000. He
also charges that, at one time. he
was slandered by fellow Vice
President of Standard Of California
He asks for 100000 on this &C
count.
Nor is this all. The King of Saudi
Arabia, during the war, was de-
manding large sums of money from
the Arabian American Oil Com
pany, which the company was In
no position to pay. So Mr.. Moffett,
according to his allegations, per-
suaded Lend-Lease to chip in some
$50, 600 600, in very top secret
manner. For his persuasiveness in
enticing this $50, ,000, 600 from Lend
Lease, Mr.. Moffett now claims fee
Of $1,000, 900. Presumably the State
Department knew about this deal.
In any event. just about the time
that the Congress adjourned last
summer, the State Department in
duced the Export-Import Bank to
make loan" Of 0,000. 900 to King
Ibn Saud. We may have only the

most honorable intentions with re-
spect to Saudi Arabia, but certainly
it is costing the taxpayers . lot Of
money.
This transaction Is not only nota-
BILE because the principal actors on
the stage are Mr.. Moffett and Mr..
Collier, theslatter OF whom had been
imposed upon the Standard Oil
Company of California by its "prin-
cipal stockholder, Mr.. John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., but because 1t illus
trates just how bitterly opposed the
oil industry is to Government in
reference" except when that Gov
ernment interference" takes the
form of a generous largess. Then it
isn't Government interference" at
all, but. shall we say, Government
perspicacity," or, for short, States
manship?"
Now, while Mr.. Moffett has hur-
ried to court to recover these var
ious items Of chicken feed, he has
also been busy in another direction.
He has approached the government
of Saudi Arabia, with the sugges-
tion that King Ibn Saud, the abso-
lutte ruler OF that country, cancel
out the concession of the Arabian

payroll of this latter company. The
salary was a comfortable one of
$4,000 a year, with the generous
expenses customarily allowed by oil
companies.
Mr.. Moffett makes some interest
ing charges. The most startling is
that when he was working for the
United States Government, as a
member Of the Industrial Advisory
Board of the National Recovery Ad-
ministration and later, when he
was Federal Housing Administra-
tor, he was, at the same time, an
adviser of the Standard Oil Com
pany Of California. From the story
in the New York Times of jan
uary "a, it does not appear that the
Federal Government knew of his
business relationship with Stand
ard Oil of California, although 1t
seems to be clear that Mr.. Collier
and his oil company did know about
Mr.. Moffett's relationship with the
Government. In fact, Mr.. Collier
appeared to be leaning heavily
upon that relationship.
When Mr.. Moffett departed from

destitute of legislative capacity and
devoid Of administrative ability.
If that should happen. the Re-
puplicans easily might lose with any
candidate. If that should happen
there would be no sense in conserva-
tive Democrats and independent
voters supporting the Republican
ticket. If that should happen, a sea-
soned, balanced and strengthened
Mr.. Truman easily might become
a most formidable candidate.
Those are the reasons 1t is ex-
ceedingly unlikely to happen. With
q poor record this year, they would
make defeat possible no matter
whom they nominated in 1948. With
a good record, they probably can
win with any good man, of whom
they have several. In such a situa-
ton It Is almost incredible that the
friends Of one presidential aspirant
in the House should endanger a
sound Republican program because
1t emanated from friends Of another
aspirant in the Senate or vice versa
