JUNEAU DEFEATS SI1kA BY 4O-3l;
 IMpERlAl5 WIN

The Juneau High School beat the in1ading Conway Dock basketeers from Sitka last night in the High School gym hy score of 40 to 31 in a fast game which was hard fought by both teams.
 Juneau went into the lead in the first quarter and held it through oufi
 Merritt of Juneau was really hot in the first half, scoring five field goals, two of these in the first quarter. Mead was in there plugging all the time, receiving a lot of blackboard misses and doing ronle fine ball handling as usual. He set the plays up nicely for his team, several times when he had a good chance for shot at the basket. he passed off to other mem ters of the team, giving them chances for nice shots. There was fine team work.
 The fellows from Sitka played good ball also, but they could not seem to hit. the basket so well in the first quarter, which is only natural for a team playing cn a strange floor.
 They accounted for only points in the first quarter, to Juneau's 13, both McCracken and Brown getting one field goal The Juneau boys were doing some fine guarding.
 In the second quarter, Sitka made ' points, thanks to Mo Crackens 6 and free toss by Brown. Juneau scored Is points, Merritt sliding three through the hoop for a total of 6, Rude scoring points, Mead 3, and Aase SCOT ing 2, making the score at the half, Juneau 28, to Sitka's IL. Thompson and Donnelly did a fine job of guarding for Sitka, and Rude and Aase covering their basket quite well for Juneau.
 In the third quarter, Juneau heightened their lead over Sitka's hard. clean fighting dock workers by scoring points while Sitka scored 4. The third quarter seem- ed to slow down both teams a little, hut it was by no means q dragging or uninteresting period of play. Both teams were moving fast, but their offensive play had weak ened while both defenses were very much on the job.
 The score at the end of the third quarter stood: Juneau 34; Sitka IS.
 In the final quarter, both teams speedsd up to terrific pace. Sitka did most of the scoring with IA points, Juneau trailing with 8.
 Juneau's second team played the last four minutes, but were a trifle too slow for the Sitka squad, which had really built up fast pace for the final period of play.
 Dcnnelly, Carpstien, Herman and McGraw scored 3 points each for Sitka, and McCracken looped two field goals through the net for 4 points in the fourth quarter. Ju- reau counted points in this final period, Mead counting four and Sanford and Aase making a basket apiece for 2 points each.
 The game was one of the fastest of the season, both teams playing good basketball on both offense and defense.
 Hildre and Hanks did fine job of refereeing and umpiring the contest They have been taking good care of this job during the entire season, with Eide being a very accurate timekeepsr and offi- cial score keeper.

VFW Imperial Game
 At the end of the first quarter in the VFW and Imperials basket ball game last night, the VFW was leading to T. Early in the start of the second quarter the Imperials surged ahead by some fast playing and accurate basket shooting. The boys of tEe VFW had slowed down considerably in the second quarter after their fast start at the begin ming of the game At the half the Imeprial squad held the long end of a 15 to II score.
 During the third quarter the VFW team was out-played by the Imperials. The VFW squad seem ed tired and lacked defense. Pas quan and Scott each collected two field goals, Powers one. and Thibo- deau a field goal and free throw. totaling 30 points for the Imperials; the VFW team accounted for 12 points, Mills making three baskets, Dapcevich one, Forrest one and Ty- von one, totaling B points.

Purge" Tn Hungary
fNpw York TinpS1

tNew York Times
 Spurred by the success of their comrades through out eastern Europe, the Communists in Hungary have apparently embarked on desperate campaign to seize control of that country before the Russian occupation army evacuates it under the treaty sched- uled to be signed soon. Though they boiled only IT per cent of the total vote. they have managed with Russian backing to dominate the coalition Government to which they were admitted and to get control of the police both civil and military which is their first objective in every country and their principal instrument for iquidating any opposition With that weapon in their hands they first proceeded to purge the Small Holders party, which had swept the coun- try in the national election Now they have over to arrestng all potential opposition leaders n the Army, the Government and the majority party
 The arrests justified by charges which are all too familiar from Yugoslavia Bulgaria, Rumana and Poland These charges that the arrested lead CTS engaged in plot against the security of the Republic" According to the Communst-controlled Ministry of the Interior, they planned armed uprs- ing to restore Admiral Horthy to power after the Russians have left But these charges refute them- selves for the peace treaty itself forbids any kind of fascist Government and that treaty is subject to Allied enforcement The principal Communist organ frankly admits that the arrests and charges are de- signed to prevent the opposition from taking advantage of the change of force and power positions after the signing of the treaty"
 What is mere omnous, but in keeping with what is happening throughout eastern Europe, the Hungar- ian Communists have directed their fire against the men who also plotted against Hitler and played leading roles in creating the Government of Liberation and arranging the surrender of the country to Russia Some of them had been sent to German concentration camps leaders of the anti German resistance But if the Communists have their way that will save them no more than like fight saved their counterpars in neighboring countries For they only fought for their country and those who only fought for their country being lquidated by those who fought only Tor Russia

ToBEY GOES TO TOWN

Later Tobey took the floor and repeated Blenders charges. The only motive for setting up this committee and for continuing the War Investigating Committee, ar gued the New Hampshire Senator, was to provide committee chair manships for Wherry and Senator Brewster of Maine.
 That, MT. President, is reducing it to the lowest terms. But it is not good enough. The price is too high"
 Tobey then recounted that he had been told a day earlier by Senator Bob Taft of Ohio that Wherry and Brewster had appeared before the Republican Steering Committee last November plead ing the cause of special commit tees"
 Wherry asked Tobey to yield, but Tobey, with much to say in short space of tune, re1uSed. Agaln Wherry interrupted.
 When the Senator had the floor I courteously asked him to yield and he declined" Tobey shouted. Then, as Wherry began to speak anyway, Tobey thundered on: T shall heap coals Of fire on his head"
 Again Wherry started to speak, but Tobey drowned him out: T yield to him-provided he uses his own time"
 Without another word, Winery took his seat. Red-faced, he did not again try to interrupt Tobey
 The Senator" was Tobey's part ing shot, lis not a good trader"

OUR RELATIONS WITH TITO

There have been two recent manifestations of dis satisfaction over the relationship between the United States and the regime of Marshal Tito i'll Yugoslavia One of them in the form of resolution unanimously adopted by the members of the Eastern Conference of the Serbian National Defense Council of America, petitions the President and the Secretary of State to break off diplomatic relations with Tito and to take stens to curta the activities of his agent in the United States The other is report from Washington that Congress will request investigation of activities of the U. S. Army Intelligence and Office of Strategic Services in the Balkans during the war, on the grounds that these units penetrated by Partisan agents and Communist sympathizers and that as a result the reports falsified
 The resolution of the Serbian National Defense Council presents number of reasons why should break off relations with Tito. From a Serb point of view they are sound They based, moreover, on facts Of which the United States Government already is aware. Recognition of foreign government, how ever, does not necessarily imply approval of it's internal affairs its conception of the several free donls Undoubtedly the United States feels it has better cause at the moment to recognize Tito than to break with him.

MARSHALL IN BRITISH CABINET

If a Britisher were permitted to sit in on an American Cabinet meeting, a howl of protest would go up from the isolationist press. However, here is a conversation which Gen Phil Fleming, chief of the Office of Temporary Con trols, had with friends after Gen. George Marshalls first appearance at a Cabinet meeting as Secretary of State.
 Though George has been top flight official in Washington for a long time, this was the first real Cabinet meeting he ever attended, said Fleming. At least, it was the first one in this country
 What do you mean?" Fleming was asked.
 Well, you see, General Marshall began attending Cabinet meetings On foreign soil. He was present at three meetings of the British Ca binet during the war"
 Note-Though Marshall sat at British Cabinet meetings, Winston Churchill got sour on his deter mination to stage a Channel invasion and vetoed him as Su- preme Allied Commander.

Intelligence groups virtually is unfounded the nvesti- gaion it may bring about will have salutary effect in Washington The Governments practice of with holding official information in this instance has led to complete confusion over the issues involved and has left the public in total ignorance of situation to which there are many angles. It also has given rise to much of the harmful speculation and bitter partisanshp relative to the Tito Mhailovich incident

Wherry was first interrupted by Senator Allen Ellender of Louisiana, who asked why he had proposed a new special Small Business Com mittee, rather than extending the old one. Wherrys answer was tor tuGus and labored, Finally Ellen der blrrted out:
 My suspicion is that the Sena- tor wants new resolution adopted so that he can be Chairman of the Committee, and not permit the Senator from Iowa George Will som, who is the ranking member. to be Chairman"
 Heatedly, WneYy replied that he had known all along this was what Ellender was getting to- It was of no importance to him, he insisted, who was named Chair man of the new Committee.
 But I think I have seen quite a few articles in the press in which such a suggestion is made, replied Ellender.
 Yes, in Drew Pearson's column, Wherry shot back.
 And we can make a pretty good guess about it. said Ellender, smil- ing.
 "Yes: Drew Pearson. Drew Pear son!" shouted the gentleman from Nebraska.

NO MUD-SLINGING"-TRUMAN

President Truman's private di- rections to his staff on harmonizing with the Uncontrolled Congress may be summed up in three words ::
 Keep it impersonal."
 Truman doesn't want any part of these free swinging, name calling bouts with the Congress that kept the press galleries scribbling when Franklin Roosevelt was in the White House.
 At the same time. he has told the Cabinet that he won't duck a scrap when honest differences of opinion" arise.
 We will have our differences with Congress" the President told his staff recently. We are bound to have them. However, I am con- vinced that I can get along with Congress as long as we keep our quarrels on an impersonal basis. Let's lay off the personality stuff
