ACKNOWLEDGMENT in the Far East
Russia has taken from under
our noses the most important
parts of China and Northern
Korea, while in India, Indonesia
Indo- China, Burma and Malays
she has made rapid strides. The
men in the Kremlin are probably
more acutely aware than we are
of the Importance to our national
defense of the raw materials
which lie in those countries. AND
she intends to create a situation
which will prevent us from having
access to those materials, even II
she does not directly control al
of Asia.
Soviet activities in China have
been misunderstood by the Amer
ican people. The optimism dis
played by so many officials in the
Government is entirely out OF
place. These men enormously
contend that Russia cannot pos
sibly digest nearly 100000, ,00C
Chinese and will have her hands
full for generations to come"
The Kremlin evidently has nc
intention of controlling a GEN.
tralized China. It's Far Eastern
experts, who are far better in
formed and more realistic than
their opposite numbers in our
State Department, realize that ii

troll that vast country. regardless
of how harsh and ruthless Soviet
methods may be.
Moreover. the Kremlin does not
wish to repeat the mistakes it
made in Yugoslavia. where an able
and unscrupulous dictator-Mar-
shall Tito. whom Moscow trusted
because of his long service in the
Soviet secret police-became a
rebel. If Yugoslavia had been di-
vided into it's component parts
with a puppet at the head of each,
Tito would never have succeeded
in his ambitions.
That is the reason why Mao
Tze-tung. who at one time was
considered Moscow's principal
stooge in China, now has become
a secondary figure. whose role
will be confined soon to heading
certain part of China. Mao
already has been dislodged from
Manchuria, where the Soviets'
top man now is Ii Li-san.

But few among our top policy
makers seem to pay attention to
the fact that without any physical

conditions which will shut us of

a jump ball. The second and fourth
quarters formerly were opened by
a foul shot, jump ball or out-of-
bounds play, depending upon the
action when the. previous quarter
ended.
The only other new addition to
the rules is the clause which
makes it mandatory to paint the
basket ring and attaching flange
bright orange. The Rules Com
mittee feels that the brilliant ring
would afford a better target for
the players than the former black
one.
That sums up generally the
major changes in the 1949-50
basketball rules. The game how
ever, still remains more complex
and definitely faster than any
other scholastic sport, but statis-
tics prove that it's popularity is
second to none from a spectators
viewpoint. More people watch
basketball than any other sport
in America. / have a strong sus-
picion that basketball, as played

"Watch That
Snow" " Warns
Weaver

An automobile on snow-covered
pavement is something like pig
on ice, Chief of Police H. S. Weaver
warned motorists yesterday in the
wake of the City's first appreciable
snowfall.
"People are inclined to forget
one can't stop a car by stepping
on the brake when there's packed
snow or ice on the Streets" Chief
Weaver said. "That is, they forget
until after they start to skid, and
then it's often too late.
"When dangerous snow and ice
conditions prevail, careful drivers
put on tire chains. That helps a lot,
because tests show that cars equip
ped with chains are far less likely

utes of a high school game and
the final two minutes of a COL
lege contest. This season the foul
shot(s) is attempted by the Of
Tended player and, whether made
or missed, his team is awarded the
ball out of bounds at mid-court.
Time is out, of course, during the
foul shot and players of both
teams are not permitted to line
up along the foul lane. This change
was made to discourage intention
al fouling by members of the team
which is behind in the final quart
er. Under the new set-up, it is
no longer possible for the team
committing the foul to secure pos
session of the ball after the foul
shot as previous procedure dictated.
Another major rule change is
that which prevents a substitution
being made for a player who has
been designated by the referee to
take part in jump ball. This
discourages the strategic maneuver
on the part of the coach to send
in an exceptionally tall player for
a shorter one who is about to
jump in order to insure possession
of the ball tap.
The third revision which will
directly affect the spectators is
the one which specifies that every
quarter and extra period must be-
gin with jump ball. In the past,
only the first and third periods
and all overtime periods began with

EEFER'S
MNOMMENTS;

Local basketball fans are prob
ably wondering about the changes
in the cage rules for the 1949-5O
season. Of course, the National
Rules Committee is never COM
pletely happy unless, in their an
nual rules sessions, they make at
least one major change in the rule
book. Fortunately, however, for
fans, players and officials alike,
the deviations this season are not
too startling or numerous. There
are a total of fourteen revislons
in the 1949-50 rules only four of
which affect the game to any
great extent. All of them are, in
my opinion, a decided improve
ment over past procedure and they
should prove popular with all con-
cerned.
The most important change con-

to be involved in accidents than
cars not so equipped"
In addition to using chains, the
Chief said, motorists should re-
duce speed when streets are slip
perry, keep windshield wipers and
defrosters in good condition to
combat poor visibility, and see
that headlights are functioning.
Poor vision and poor traction both
promote accidents.
"Our job is to prevent accidents
as well as to investigate them,"
Chief Weaver added, "and we'd
rather do the preventing.
Because of the snow, numerous
cars have been reported skidding

or becoming stalled. If a majority
of these drivers had been going a
little slower, and had been pro-
perly equipped for winter driv-
ing, many of these accidents and
traffic tie-ups could have been
prevented.
VIRTUALLY all SUCH accidents" /"
the Chief said, "are due to made
quate traction and speed too fast
for conditions.
"You've all seen kids sliding on
the ice with their rubbers on"
he observed. Automobile tires will
slip on ice too. Sure, good tire
treads are desirable, they help
lot on dry or wet pavements, and
