Speaker at Lincoln Day Dinner Ldshes
Administration Policies in
Both FOREIGN and Domestic Affairs
Broadus Mdn Addresses
Meeting Sponsored
By COP Centred Commute,

More than $50 persons at
tended the Lincoln Day dinner
at the Legion hall here last
Monday night, sponsored by the
Big Horn County Republican
Central committee, and heard
an address by Ashton Jones of
Broadus in which he paid trib-
ute to Abraham Lincoln and
traced the history of the Re-
publican party from it's begin
ing to the present time.
The birth of the Republican.
party was simultaneous with
the rise of Abraham Lincoln,
whom the speaker described as
"a man possessing divine guild
ance" Since the election of
Lincoln, first Republican pres
ident, in 1850, Jones said, Re-
publicanS have elected IL men
to that office and the Demo
cratic party four.
Stating that the policy of the
COP has always been an
American policy Jones charg-
ed the Democratic party and
its low tariff policy with re-
SponSobility for the panicS of
1893 and 1912. J
Describing the events OF the
past 20 years, the speaker said
the Democratic administration
in 1888, faced with the prob
lem of 3 million unemployed,
used communist methods" to
deal with the situation and at
the end of its first seven Years
the unemployment figure had
increased to 10 million. The in
crease in unemployment would
have continued, he said, had
it not been for the arrival of
World War II. ]
Administration foreign policy,
which Jones said was dictated
by Moscow" was responsible for
losing the peace, and the speak,
err called the "Yalta deal" the,
blacklist mark in the history
of American diplomacy" He
said the administration broke
it's word to Nationalist China
in refusing aid to Chang Kai-
Shek and forced him to agree

Senator Says State
Wool Industry
Being Undermined

1.-THE wool industry of Mon
tana is being Undermined by
the so-called Reciprocal Trade
policy of the Truman admins
tration," said Senator Zales N.
Ecton of Montana recently aft
er attending a conference of
growers and professors called by
Senator OMahoney of Wyo-
ming.
Ecton pointed out that only
a relatively few months ago u.
S. armed services buyers were
attending foreign wool auctions
and buying millions of pounds
at fantastic prices, but are UNI
interested now in the domestic
market at prices little more
than one-third of the figure
our Defense department paid
to foreign producers.
Growers in the United
States" he. said, cannot re-
main in business in competition
with the dumping program of
the Argentine and Uruguayan
governments whose exporters
have been subsidized by the
dollar trade balances extorted
from American taxpayers.
Montana nominally has a
ten million dollar wool indus
try" Senator Ecton continued,
"but during the past few years,
under present trade and for.
eign aid policies, almost half
of our sheep men have found ii
advisable to quit and our flocks
in Montana have greatly dimin-
iShed.
Argentine wool tops are now
selling in this country at SO
cents per pound less than our
domestic growers must get for
clean wool and remain in bus
mess. Our professors are laying
off workers while our people
are being soaked high taxes to
make up the differential in
foreign countries by means of
our one-sided foreign aid pro-
gram" said the Senator.

Bulldogs Upset
Billings Central
In Final Home Game

In a stirring, close finish
which brought cheering fans to
their feet with excitement, the
Hardin Bulldogs managed to
cling to the lead by a hair
breadth last Saturday night and
defeat the driving Billings Gen.
trail Rams, 1884, lin the final
home game of the season.
Hardin, stationed at the bot
tom rung in southern division
Glass B standings, led the top
ranking Central five throughout
most of the game, which was a
hard-fought affair, although
scoring was held down by cold
shooting and tight defensive
play by both squads.
Playing without the services
of Studer, a consistent point
maker, the Rams failed to score.
a field goal in the first quarter,
but nevertheless were leading,
5-4, at the end of that stanza
with five free throws, while the
Bulldogs had connected on two
field goal attempts.
Hardin began pulling away
in the second quarter and led,
20-11, at half-time, Don Holland
being the most consistent Scor-
er. The Rams outScored the
local five by three points in the
third canto and were on the
short end of a 1928 score to
start the final frame.
Showing a determination to.
avoid defeat by the lowly Bull
dogs, the Rams organized a
drive in the final quarter. Offic-
ial horns and whistles were of
little avail in the din of the
closing moments as the score
stood IS to "a with the Rams
holding the play in their half
of the court. With only a Sec:
ond remaining on the clock, the
referee called a jump ball at
Central'S free-throw line fol-
lowing an unsuccessful field
goal attempt by the Rams. The
tip went to Central and a
pass shot to Zierten who was
in the act of shooting when the
gun sounded. Although the goal
attempt was good, officials
ruled that the game had end
ed before Zierten had released
the ball.

Since Mr.. and Mrs. Darr

been heard that Darr beat Joe

Darr would neither confirm nor
deny the report for publication,

because his complexion upon
his return home looks as though
some of the Brown Bomber
might have come off on him.
