Moose Needs 8ih Win Tonight 10 Hold Place In RailbeIt Standing
ilbelt Conference Standings

Palmer High School will meet Fairbanks tonight in the tenth Railbelt Conference game of the season for the Moose with Palmer determined to take the game. Fairbanks is so hopelessly in the hole that a win or loss right now is not too important for them but for Palmer it is one of the most important games of the season, as a win or loss will determine their standing in the conference.
 Anchorage and Palmer were tied for first place in the confer ence until last night when An chorage defeated Fairbanks 1925, to place Anchorage one game ahead of Palmer.
 Coach Robert Critics says that the game coming up tonight is not in the bag" as Harvey Hiber will probably not be on the line up. Hiber dislocated a finger in a practice game this week.
 The loss of Pete Burr on the team is "a definite loss," Coach Critics also said, as he has no one With which to replace Burr's height. Burr was also dangerous on the defense. The high school student left the Valley this week to return to school in the states.
 The Railbelt Conference cham pionship will be decided at Sew ard within the next 10 days as Anchorage is to play there to- morrow and Monday night. Pal mer will then play Seward on the latter's courts the following week end.
 The Moose and Malemutes will also play here tomorrow night but that will only be an exhibi- tion game and not a part of the Conference.
 Last Saturday night Palmer High School took possession of the lead in the Railbelt Confer ence when the team defeated An chorage 45-32. The victory chalked up a score of two wins and two losses each between the two teams. Both the Moose and the Eagles have won one game on their own courts and lost one away from home.
 The Palmer gym was damned with the crowd that watched the Moose race to a decisive first place in the Railbelt Conference. Coach Bob Critics put his new

MUNSAN, Korea, Nov. 16-tRl-A LIN. Command spokesman said to- day truce negotiators were "a lot closer" to agreement on the Korean buffer zone dispute than a month ago or even week ago.
 However, the official LIN. Com mand communique said the cease fire subcommittees met five hours and Is minutes today in Panmun- jom without attaining any tangible results"
 It. Col. Howard Levie, acting U. N spokesman, told newsmen that in the six days since both sides submitted new cease-fire proposals the negotiators have certainly cleared the air"
 Levie- said he is confident the buffer zone dispute will be settled. But he wouldn't guess at when.
 "If the United Nations Command delegates did not believe that, they wouldn't be going back day after day" he said.
 Maj. Gen. Henry I. Hodes, LIN. Command subcommittee chairman. told the Red delegates Friday their buffer zone proposal would fix the cease-fire line at the same place as the Allied proposal.

Am ACCURATE PROPHECY

The Freeman magazine recently reprint
ed a statement made by Senator Benjamin
Harvey Hill in the u. S. Senate way back
in 1878. The Senator spoke during a dis
cussion of the possible dangers of industrial
monOpOlies. He observed, 81 have said l
do not dread these corporations as instru-
ments of power to destroy this country, be-
cause there are thousand agencies which
can regulate, restrain and control them; but
there is corporation we may all dread
That corporation is the Federal Govern
ment From the aggression of this corpor-
alton there can be no safety, if it is allowed
to- go beyond the bounds, the we'll defined
limits of its power. / dread nothing so much
as the exercise of ungranted and doubtful
powers by this government. =.
eff this great, ambitious, ever growing
corporation becomes oppressive, who shall
check it? If it becomes Wayward, who shall
control it? If it becomes unjust, who shall
trust it? AS sentinels on the country
watchtOwer, senators, l beseech you watch
and guard with sleepless dread that cOrpOr-
alton which can make all property and
rights, all states and people, and all liberty
and hope, it's playthings in an hour and its
victims forever"
Senator Hill was a prophet of a high
order. We have met the problem of the in.
dustrial corporation, and dealt with it. We
have retained the virtues and abolished the
evils. But the government has grown great
er and greater, more costly and more costly
and more and more it has gone beyond
the control of the people. 1t has undermin
ed the foundations on which our freedoms
rest. 1t has come to dominate our lives in
thousand ways. That is the trend which
unless it is checked, must result ultimatel!
in tyranny-as the whole history of tn
world proves.

MEDICAL PROGRESS AGGRAVATES
OLD.AGE PROBLEM

The modern American trend toward birth con-
troll is a large factor in bringing about an alarm
ingly high percentage of oldsters in the popula-
ton Yet turning the clock backward on this trend
might cause our population to expand beyond the
ability of the land to support it. Some have sug-
gested that medical science will eventually solve
the problem by discovering how to preserve full
powers of body and mind until S5, thus deferring
the average age of retirement by ten or twenty
years. To me this seems to miss the point COM
pletely.
The problem is concerned not with the age of
retirement but with the length of life after retire.

of adult vigor to IS more it is quite likely that
it will also succeed in stretching considerably the
period of declining vigOr and senlty bringing the
problem right back where we started. FROM the
humanitarian point of view. progress in medical
science is desirable, but from the economic point of

AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY

United States foreign policy has become
more than a major issue of the 1852 preSi-
Dental campaign. 1t has become a moral
issue affecting the lives of 500 million people
throughout the world.
A foreign policy is, after all, the normal
policy of Nation. 1t is dictated by the will
of national leaders to do what is right and
not to do what is wrong American foreign
policy must meet the needs Of its own ma
tionals. 1t must also meet the needs of allies
abroad who seek United States aid and pro-
lection.
Foreign policy according to Republican
Party principles, is based upon a program
of ''nO cooperation with international Com
munism." Under Presidents Harding, Cool
idge, Hoover, incorporation was effected.
Foreign policy, as practiced by the DEM
Ocrat Party, has adhered to the principle
that world, half-slave, half-free, may exist
in peace and harmony. To perpetuate this
belief, great concessions have been made to
the Soviet Union.
Under President Roosevelt, the Yalta
agreement surrendered 100 million Chris
tians in East Europe to an atheist named
Joseph Stain. These beaten peoples held
out their hands for help and around then
the Yalta signatories fastened Communist
shackles. This was a moral wrong.
Agreements at POtsdam under Presiden
T. an inaugurated the betrayal of Ere,
China to Communism. This was not for
eign policy-it was a moral wrong done t,
a generation.

time can when the idle retired population will
be greater than the young and middle-aged workers
who must pay the taxes to support them.
PENSIONS HERE TO STAY
The vast majority of people over 65 will never
own sufficient incOmeprOducng property to live on.
Even though practicng thrift all their life long, they
can lack the ability to invest advantageOusly and
establish financial independence. Hence, most aged
citizens must rely their children or pensions.
Many persons think the problem of the aged can
be disposed of by voting in favor of whatever pen
sions are demanded but this is only like pulling
yourself up by your boot strsns." Distribution of
vast sums of money by the Government to any
group whether Oldsters, veterans, farmers, means
making it harder for the other groups unless Offset
by a corresponding increase in the production of
goods and services
OLDSTERS POLITICALLY POWERFUL
The Oldsters are becoming a formidable political
pressure group. They have made California a PEN
sioners paradise. Political proposals on behalf Of
older citizens are often foOlishy supported by mem
bers of the young generation. They welcome the
opportunity to shift to the State the financial bur
den of supporting aged parents. What will happen
when the Oldsters, teamed up with their friends
account for a greater percentage of the national
electorate? Will they vote themselves prepOster-
ously generous incomes from the Federal treasury!
This would be highly nhationary because it would
put the nation completely out of line with the ma
tion's productivity.
