Seeking to offset their first re-
versal in Western Buckeye league
play, Bluffton High cagers will at
tempt to break back into the win
column in a tilt here this Friday
night with Kenton.
Although the Pirates should have
good chance to chalk up their sec
ond loop win against one defeat in
the Kenton assignment, the visitors
have played some excellent ball this
winter and will come here with a
team of top-notch caliber.
Another spur in Bluffton's hopes
for victory in the tilt will be the
weird turn of events which marked
last Friday night play when the
Pirates dropped 55 to DC decision
to Celina after holding a seven-point
lead with only four minutes remain
ing in the game.
1t had been thrilling game from
the start, but Celina's spectacular
l18-point rally in the last four min
utes of play chilled Bluffton spec
tators, as well as the team.
Midway through the final period,
it had looked good for Bluffton. At
the end of the third quarter the Pi-
rates led, 1886, and they gradually
widened the advantages to set the
pace IA to ST. Then when Dale Ris-
ser, Bluffton center, was lost on per-
sonal fouls, Celina caught fire to
bag IS points in four minutes, while
at the same time holding the locals
to only two points.

Ford Won't Raise Price
On New Model hercurv
BY the Associofed Press

DETROIT. Oct. 25.-Moving
contrary to current trends, Ford
Motor Co. is making no increase
in the price of its new 1851 model
Mercury cars.
Henry Ford II, president, an
nounced this last night. Although
he did not specifically say so, he
intimated an effort would be made
also to avoid immediate increases
in the forthcoming new Ford
models. .''t-< -.t@'
The move, Mr.. Ford said, was
designed as 'our part in holding
the line against imitation" It was
decided on, he added. despite the
fact that wages, salaries and ma
terials costs have added more than
s78 million to the Ford Motor
Co.'S annual outlay since the start
of the Korean war.
With but one or two exceptions
all new model introductions SO
far this autumn have carried in
creased price tags. Among the
exceptions were reductions by
Packard and Studebaker in their
higher priced models. Both, how
ever, increased the tags on their
lower priced, larger volume units.

The five convicts showed up at
the house about $50 pm. last
night, entered with drawn guns
and demanded to be fed. The
boys, scared to DEATH" cooked
several pounds of meat which the
men ate. Then they retired fol

Early this morning, two of the
convicts came to McCallum and

Mr.. Brown, however, warned by

French Proposals Praised.
In commenting on French Pre-
mier Pleven's proposals yesterday
for handling the German rearma-

the United States welcomes the
French initiative. He described
the French proposals as "a fur
ther approach" toward the COM
mon objective.
Before indorsing them outright,
he said, however. they required
further study.

Soviet bloc communique issued
from the Prague meeting Satur-

proposals and knocked them down
one by one.

He summarized the Communist
proposals and his reactions to
them in this way:

2. The proposal for removing
restrictions on development of
German peacetime economy
should be addressed to Moscow" !"
The Western powers have spent
billions trying to put German
economy on self-supporting
basis. For sound restoration of
the German economy as a ma
tional whole, what is needed is ac-
ton from the country which
blockaded Berlin.
Free German Elections Urged.
3. The Communist demand for
prompt conclusion of a peace
treaty with Germany is blocked by
the absence of a unified demo-
cratic national government in
Germany. Let the German
people freely elect national gov
eminent, as we have proposed
again and again, and we can then
move toward a peace treaty"
4. The suggestion that an "all-
German constitutional convention
composed of equal numbers of rep
reseEtatives from Eastern and
Western Germany should prepare
the way for the formation of a
provisional government" violates
"the most elementary ideas OF
democracy" Why should the "1e
million captive Germans of the
East have equal representation
with the At million free Germans
of the West?" Only by free, open,
supervised democratic elections all
over Germany" for a new constitu-
tional convention can a German
government responsive to the will
of the majority be obtained.
Mr.. Acheson declared that "the
West can find no reinsurance of
peace in Soviet actions whether
these be the rearming of East
Germany. the maintenance of so
many modified Soviet divisions,
or the hostile Soviet propaganda
with which the world is constantly
bludgeoned.
