Young Boys
 Stage Excellent Basketball Show

Basketball is just the dish for the Young clan. Two of the brotherhood, playing on opposing teams in the Matanuska Hotel AACS fray Tuesday evening, proved that point beyond a sha- dow of a doubt. The pair, each playing in the right guard spot, ran neck and neck in the scoring and each ended with 19 points apiece for the evenings work.
 Teammates supported L e Young on the Matanuska Hotel five bit more strongly in pay

dirt, and the Hotel men took the Tuesday game by a 59-48 count. Probably, however, the AACS Young held a slight scoring edge over the home town lad, for he left the game on five fouls, early in the fourth quarter.
 The two teams were as evenly matched in some other depart ment as we'll. The Hotel-men missed 13 tries for point. The Army five topped them slightly there by missing 16 times.
 Army's Manning and Harris each were good for II points, as were Hamilton and Hardage of the Hotel squad.
 After a slow start, when the Matanuska Hotel squad built a l9-7 lead in the first quarter, the teams battled evenly for almost the entire game. They were nev- CT separated by more than six or seven points, until midway in the fourth quarter when the Army lost three of its starting five in quick succession, because of five personal fouls.
 The Army squad is composed of the original hard-luck boys, anyway, they say. The team has won three and lost three in Post league play. but they swear that each of the three on the wrong side of the ledger was lost by a one-point margin.
 In Tuesdays preliminary, the Palmer Independents (second- stringers of the Hotels squad) barely lasted to edge Wasilla 25 to 2l. The Wasilla boys improve steadily with every game, and should be breaking into the win column in the near future.

STATE DEPT.
 IS DEFIED ON CONSUL QUERY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-tR-- Communist treatment of the Am erican Consul General at Muk- den has dealt sharp new setback to Communist Chinas chances of obtaining American recognition any time in the foreseeable future.
 Top State Department officials are privately burned up" at the way in which local authorities at Mukden have handled the case of 56-year-old Angus Ward They are irked too at the cold shouldering which the American Government has received in its attempts to get any information on the matter from National Communist leaders at Peiping.
 Ward has been held in jail at Mukden since October "A. Two An1- erican and two European members of his staff have been held with him. All are charged with having beaten a Chinese employee early in October, as the result of an al- legged wage dispute.
 The State Department disclosed Thursday that the Consul General at Peiping, O. Edmund Clubb, had sent a letter to Gen. Chou en-Lai, the Communist Foreign Minister, demanding Wards release and ask ing information about him. The Department said that no reply had been received.
 Officials are now confronted with the problem of what to do next in the case. Two courses appeared open as speculative possibilities.
 One is to address the strongest possible protest to the Communist leaders at Peiping.
 Another move would be to bring the case before the United Nations.
