 A U. s. spokesman said this switch to a formal exchange of notes probably would result in some delay in getting Russia s views.
 It was expected, he said, that Malik would transmit the Ameri- can note to his immediate superior here, deputy foreign minister An drei A. Gromyko, who in turn probably would have to consult Moscow before replying.

ten years. During this time I have
made my home with my first son
and his family. My baby boy is
getting married next month and

False Reports
Reports that Representative Bill
Dawson and the Illinois delegation
have the alternative of staying
away from the Inauguration or
living In Pullmans is bunk. Since
the death of his mother in law,
Dawson has lived with his brother
in law, DR.. Tom Brown and wife.
Also contrary to reports all the
Washington hotels are not closed
to mixed delegations. Larry Dolby,
his wife and Louis Jones were
quartered at one time with the
Cleveland Indians at the Statler.
And Sadie Alexander mate of
Raymond Pace Alexander, both
Philadelphia lawyers stopped reg
ularly at the Statler during the
time the Presidents Committee
on Civil Rights was holding hear
ings.
Incidentally, a testimonial din
ner to Dawson, who headed the
National Citizens Committee for
Election of President Truman,
will be tossed at the Interio De-
partment Cafeteria, Jan. 81, the
day after Truman's Inauguration
for full four year term in his

HARLEM eLoHETRoTTERs
TAKES ANOTHER WIN
BY Allen s. Lewis

Another win for the Harler
Globetrotters! When they tramp
ed over the Yakima City AL
Stars, by score of 60-4s, in the
game played at the Yakima Arm
DRY, Thursday night. Jan. 6.
The game opened with great act
ion from both teams, but after
the first quarter the Globetrot
ters began real action, that which
the All Stars didn't seem to un
derstand.
II there ever has been team
the Globetrotters have one. They
worked together throughout the
game. Although one of the Cudjoe
twins told the squad one 81 can
take care Of three All Stars, all
the players handled the ball with
one hand about as well as an
ordinary player con with both
hands.
And they are very skillful In
passing the ball, which Is import
ant in Basketball.
After the game was far head
with a few minutes left to play,
The Globetrotters entertained the
large crowd by freezing the ball
In doing so they played baseball
football and other tricks with
Larry Cudjoe holding the ball on
one finger.
Now that | have told about
the Globetrotters, I must admit
that the All Stars have good
team, but they are not the op
ponents to defeat the Globetrot'
ters The Stars were for over
powered to my say so on basket
ball.
The players that made up the
Globetrotters team were:- Tod
Strong, Lance Cudjoe, Larry Cud
joe, Boudreau King, Sherman Haw-
kins, Silas Phelps. John Lloyd
and Logolian Moore.
On the Yakima City All Stars
teme were:-- Don johnson, Dick
Tyrrol. Charles Patterson Bill
Carbon, Tom Stephens. Buck La
Bissoniere, Mike Kuchora, Ron
Sporlino, Bob McCarty, Duke Dor.
nan, Wright Hawkes., Jim Hag-
