Laurel had little trouble Friday
night with Billings Central, out

III a basket as the gun went off.
Hardin went ahead two points at
the quarter and increased the lead
to six at the half. However, the
Locomotives returned for the second
half and literally wore their op-
ponents down. Hardin went into
a semi-stall early in the third period
in a desperate attempt to keep Lau-
rel from getting the ball, but little
by little Laurel cut the lead and
with but one minute to play had
tied the game at 5O-all.
A double foul elected the two
stars of the game, Bill Sorg and
Don Hammer. Their respective subs
failed to make the free throw tries,
leaving the score still tied. With
but Is seconds left, Leo Yeager
scored a free throw for a one-point
lead. The clock was stopped by
a held ball deep in Laurel territory

elated by the position it found it

Lodge three times during the sea-

Coyotes jumped to an early lead

was up in the air there was no.
thing that could dampen their
spirit. By the half the Coyotes had
a ID point lead and although at

looked like Laurel was going to
pull out of it by cutting the lead
eight points, two free throws were
missed and Red Lodge went down
the floor to increase the margin
to eight again. From then on
it was a matter of time as Laurel
desperately shuffled men to find a
winning combination. But it was
not in the books and the final
whistle gave Red Lodge second
place by a 81 to As count and
Laurel bowed out of the race for

States or other countries con-
stitutes an act of hostility
against the Chinese nation and
the people of China, and should
cease immediately"
Committed to his own foreign
affairs doctrine, President Tru-
man is inclined toward continu-
ing Intervention in China. In
last weeks exchange of letters
between Chang and the Presi-
dent, Truman is said to have
notified the Nationalist leader
that the shipment of military
supplies under the present
100000 aid program will be
speeded up.
However, the reported lack of
further commitments may fore
shadow the ditching of Chang
by the U. S. in order to give
direct support to one of the re-
maining~ warlords Hanson w.
Baldwin, who is generally
credited with close connections
in Washington military circles,
wrote in the New York Times,
Nov. 9: 1--WE may have to sup
port individual provincial gov
ernors, or able generals, like
Flu Tso-yi, who are able to rally
around them armies capable of
holding at least parts of China"
This doctrine is strangely re-
minicent of that followed in
1892, when support was
given Kolchak and other local
adventures in the hopeless
struggle to overthrow Soviet
Rule in Russia.
But whatever action is taken,
the fact remains that further
support of the Nationalist gov
eminent only means more
money out of the American tax
payers pocket and down the
drain in China. In addition,
whatever goodwill and trade we
still have in Asia will be de-
stroyed and initiation here ac-
CELEBRATED. Moreover, while they
succeed in delaying the estab-
lishment of peace throughout
China and increase the suffer-
ing of the Chinese people, they
can never prevent the newt
able peoples victory.

Demands that the Illinois

hearings on phone rate increas-

were made this week by the
Progressive Party.
Illinois Bell has applied for
a 20 percent hike in rates. This
followed by less than year two

users more than $3O,00O,000 in

said. However, the company

six million dollars in the first Z
