Vote on Seat for Israel
May Be Further Delayed

PARIS, Dec. l R.-The chance
of reaching a vote tomorrow on
Israers application for U. N. mem
bership faded today. .'
The French cabinet discussed how
France will vote, but reached no
decision. France appeared to hold
the deciding vote on the 11-nation
Security Council where seven votes
are needed. Six favoring votes
seem assured along with one oppos-
ing and three abstaining.
Foreign Minister Robert Schu-
man told the cabinet the Council
should defer voting on Israel until
the u. N. Assembly Political Com
mittee decides Palestine questions.
The United States had the pros
pect of no eligible delegate or dep
uty ready for the Council meeting
on Israel tomorrow. DR.. Philip G..
Jessup, only delegate in Paris who
may sit regularly in the council for
the United States, is i'll with in
f1uenza.
Russia accused Britain in the Po-
Itical Committee of trying to build
Trans.Jordan into a powerful Mid
dle East puppet at the expense OF
Israel. Trans-Jordan lies just east
of Palestine and is allied to Britain.

In accepting the proposal to estab-

reserve entirely the position of their
governments as regards any resolu-
ton which may subsequently be
submitted to the Security Council
after the committee have reported.
"Thev would require to consider
any such resolution in the light OF

LEGION AUXILIARY MAKING
NEW MEMBERSHIP GAIN

Heavy advance of enrolment of
American Legion Auxiliary members
for 1913, reported from all parts
of the country, indicates that the
Auxiliary will make another large
membership gain during the COM
ing year, according to Mrs. Esther
Sterrett, membership chairman OF
the local Auxiliary unit.
First reports from national head
quarters on the 1913 enrolment
showed a gain of approximately
10 per cent over the same date
last year. If continued: this rate
of increase will place the Auxiliary
far beyond its goal of one million
members before the end of 1913.
"The Auxiliary's membership
growth is proof that women of vet
erans' families are recognizing more
and more the Importance of be-
longing to a strong organization
serving for the veterans and the
nation" said Mrs. Sterrett. "Dur-
ing 1947 we gained 100000 mem
bers, bringing our strength up to
100000. We confidently expect to
make it a million in 1948."

moved around the larger opponents
with a deceptive style that was good
for twenty-four points. Red Lodge,
however, capitalized on a fast break
that found the Laurel defenses out

when they couldn't score in that
manner, they shot long ones that
Bruer would follow and turn into

Next Week

The Laurel Locomotives will play
host to three teams next week IN
a major test of their potential abil-
ity towards taking the divisional
honors, should they get that far.
Tuesday another Tri-county game
is in the offing when Park City
puts in its first appearance. The
Freshmen will engage the B squad
from Park City in the curtain raiser
at 7. Bob Dantic, Jim Graft and
Jim Gass will start as forwards
and Tom Moran and Tom Dempsey
will likely hold down the guard
positions. The Laurel A team holds
one league victory over the rivals
from Park City in a game played be-
fore Christmas.
Friday night is a game the people
have been waiting to see. Hardin

said, except to remind the fans that
although the tournament bleachers
will be up for this game, the good
seats will be taken early. The B
squad will start the evenings do
ings at 7 when they engage the
V. F. w. sponsored team from Bill

Saturday night promises to be
another thriller for the fans in
Laurel when the Roundup Panthers
come for a return engagement. Last
week Roundup dumped the Loco
motives in an exciting game that
kept the spectators on their toes
until the final whistle. Roundup
played fast aggressive ball to exc
out a one-point victory, and intends
to prove to the Laurel people next
Saturday that it was no fluke. On
the same program is another game
that has the promise of being a
top show when the B squad tangles
with the Colts from Billings senior
high school. Both of these clubs
hold victories over A teams from
the surrounding towns and last year
split their two game series, with
the second game going into over
time. This game, like all prelimin-
aries, will get under way at 7.
