THE SPORTING THING
by bf

They'll be talking about 1.-THE Northwest
Times Invitational Basketball Tournament
for long summer and a short winter, at least.
The manner in which the Portland girls
swept their division championship was treat,
delicious and sweet, indeed.
We cannot help but applaud the spirit with
which Yoshito Mizuta's South End Merchants
fought Tokuda Drug to the wire for the boys
crown. The Merchants, after experiencing stiff
Sunday afternoon session with the Portland
Stars had enough in them to take on Tokuda'
the same night. Even in defeat, the Merchants
looked good although it was quite obvious they
were a tired lot when the final whistle shiieked.
The tough fight put up by Main Bowls
Glass b youngsters was not only dramatic but
inspiring Darlings of the fans, these lads gave
every Glass A team they faced "bad time"
Tosh Funai, Tom Kogane, Tosh Nishimura
AL Mar, Phil Mar Hing, Mary Iwasaki and Sa-
chi Yoshida may not be the worlds best referees
but we'll take them over the sideline kibitizers
any day of the week-and 'ttwice on Sunday
Oh well. Wasn't it a swell tournament?
A number of persons approached us during
our Northwest Invitational Basketball Toulna-
ment last weekend to thank and compliment us
for running what they said was a successful
meet.
All congratulations backslaps and hand
shakes, too-should go to the hard working
crew headed by Daibo Full.
Young Dabo was assisted by an extremely
capable group consisting mainly of Fudge Sa-
kanash Harry Kawahara, Haruo Kato, Hiro
and Tosh Nishimura, George Kozu, 7. r. Goto
and "Killcr" Kono Girls from Anna Rays,
High School and Lotus also Fright in
there" to lend us a hand Of course, there were
many others who were less conspicuous; for in
stance, Shig Kaseguma, Vet ace signed up by
the Merchants for the tourney, went out of his
way to help in the cleanup.
Surely, it was beautiful feeling one can
not express i'll words
Thanks, gals and fellows

 RUSS PLAN
Increasingly Violent Anti- American Campaign
 Is Predicted

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-LR- An increasingly violent anti-Amer- ican campaign by Russian press and radio was predicted today by U. s. officials examining Moscows propaganda line.
 They said the attack on Presi- dent Truman by Russian maga- zine which compared him with Hitler indicates a decision to pull out all the stops.
 One official expressed belief the Russians have given up any hope of winning favor from the Ameri- can public and will concentrate now on trying to discredit the United States in the Soviet Union and abroad.
 The 'warmongering" accusation against nine Americans by Andrei Vishinsky, Deputy Russian Foreign Minister, in a United Nations As sembly address Sept. 18 was viewed as part of the campaign.
 The latest Soviet-American dis agreement came to light yesterday when the State Department an- nounced that the American Elm hassy in Moscow has emphatically protested criticisms of MT. Truman in the Russian publication Liter ary Gazette No. 39.'
 Boris Gorbatov, author of the article, called MT. Truman mes senger boy, bank clerk and tool of the Pendergast machine and compared him to the Corporal from Munich"
 Ambassador Walter Bedell Smith protested to Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov that the late Dr. Paul Goebbels Hitler's wartime propa- ganda minister, never was more vii imperative in his diatribes against Allied statesmen.
 Molotov rejected Smiths protest, saying the Soviet government cannot bear the responsibility for this or that article"

YANKEE STADIUM, New York. Sept. 30.-lR-The old Yankee big inning formula worked again today as the New Workers shattered 2l- year-old Ralph Branca's no-hit bid with five runs in the fifth frame for a 5-3 triumph over Brooklyn before record 73.365 turnout in the opening game of the l947 World Series.
 Twelve Tanks had been retired in succession by fast-balling Bran fca. the Dodgers 2i-garne winner, until they cut loose with their big furry that completely unnerved the Brooklyn righthander.
 Branca was followed by Hank Behrman and Hugh Casey. Frank Shea, who started for the Tanks, was lifted for a pinch hitter and succeeded by Joe Page as the big series openedu according to the script with battle of the bullpens Page vs. Casey.
 It was fast game and there were many brilliant plays through out the eight and one half innings. Remarkable too, there was not an error committed
 Leo Durocher, suspended Brook lyn manager. and his pretty wife, Laraine Day, were surrounded by autograph fans and photographers as they took their seats in box to the right of the Dodger dug out.
 A Larry MacPhail innovation was the introduction of popular dance band, Guy Lombardo, replacing the customary brass band for the final half hours entertainment before the first pitch.
 Thirty nine wounded pa- tients from Hilton General Hospi- tai, Fort Dix, N. J.. St. Albans and Brooklyn Naval Hospitals, New York. were guests of the 52 Asso- i citation of New York, group of l,2O0 business and professional men.

TAFT WOULD
 CUT EUROPE
 AID FUND
Says Must Help Restore Economic Stability But
 S16 Billion Too Much

EN ROUTE TO BOISE, IDAHO WITH TAFT. Sept. 30.-4R-Sena- tor Taft (R.-Ohio) said today "this country must do something to re- store normal economic stability in Europe" but called a proposed $l6,- 000,000,000 outlay for this purpose too large.
 The Ohio Senator, travelling east ward on the last leg of Western political pulse-taking tour, dis counted the possibility of Congress ional action before next January on any European aid program.
 As head of the Senate's Republi- can Policy Committee, Taft said he doubts that majority of members of Congress could be assembled in Washington from various parts of the world where they are on tour before December, even if President Truman calls special session.
 He said, however, that he expects to call the policy group together next month to discuss the matter.
 In response to a question by a University of Idaha student at Mos COW yesterday, Taft said he thinks a $16,000, 100000 outlay, possibly spread over all four years, is too much for Europe to expect from the United States.
 (Early speculation on the amount needed from the U. s. under the Marshall plan had placed the figure at $16,000, 100000 but the proposal from European nations set the total needs at $22, 400 ,000 ,000 of which the United States was asked to supply SIS, 9,330, ,000 ,000)

 Her attorney, Isaac Pacht, indi- cated he would open the next chapter by filing an answer and cross-complaint to Donlevy's suit today.

CRIppS TAXES NEW POSITION BRIT. CABINET
Now Leader for Economic Recovery in First of
 Sweeping Changes

LONDON, Sept. 30--IR-Vegetar~ ian Sir Stafford Cripps took over today as Britain's economic czar. Informed sources said it was but the first installment of sweeping changes in the Labor Cabinet.
 There was general agreement among Britons that Cripps ap- pointment as Minister of Economic Affairs to lead this dollar-short country's fight for economic recoy- cry at home and abroad was step in the right direction.
 The choice of 31-year-old James Harold Wilson, the so-called boy wonder" of the Labor Government, as President of the Board of Trade to succeed Cripps was termed indi- cative of the governments decision to introduce new blood into the La- bor regime.
 The resignation of Arthur Green wood, a veteran labor politician who had been a Minister without portfolio, was considered to be a further demonstration of Prime Minister Attlee's determination to bring in younger men to fight the economic battle of Britain.
 Cripps. whose new appointment was announced last night, buckled down immediately to the tasks con- fronting him.
 He scheduled a meeting with un- icn leaders to discuss the British export drive-ordered in an effort to get more dollars-and means Of meeting the proposed targets.

 As the chat ended, Wallace stood up from behind his small, dust cluttered editors desk and said:
 "Heniy, why don't you and Mrs. Morgen ;hau come over to our farm tonight and have some supper with us?"
 Morgelthau said that he couldn't accept the invitation because Mrs Morgenthau wasn't well.
 I'm sorrier than I can tell you that we can't accept" Morgenthau added, with nervous twang in his voice like the ticking of a bomb about to explode.
 You see, in a few days I don't \think you're going to be talking to me anymore, Henry"
 Wallace was shocked, asked why Morgenthau tbIn told how he had turned his famous 900-volume diary over to Golfers to be published in a series of articles. He added that the first article would be on the newsstands in a short time.
