Holmes LOSSES Try
For 4th Championship
by VIM. Cathey

AS the Mississippi State
Junior College girls basketball
tournament got under way at
Goodman, Wednesday, the
Holmes Junior College girls will
try for their fourth champion
ship since competition began in
1929. The last title annexed bv
the Holmes sextet was in l945
when it defeated the Decatur
Warriorettes, 81 to 90. Other
trophies were won in l94l with
Sunflower of Moorhead the vic
tim, 40 to Al, and in 1897, when
Decatur was runner-up, by a
score Of SO to 80.
The battle for top honors this
month will be perhaps the most
stubbornly contented in years
with the Kinds Junior College
Eglettes, Itawamba of Fulton,
Northeast of Bonneville. East
Central of Decatur, East Missis-
sippi of Scooba, Pearl River of
Poplarville, Southwest of Sum-
NIT and Holmes of Goodman
conceded good chance to survive
the long grind.
Goodman finished the regular
campaign with a 2l-0-2 record.
while Raymond ranked second
with Is victories, three defeats
and one tie. 1t might be well
to note that the Eglettes sup
piled the Holmes misses with
the most rugged competition of
the year and have been strong
contenders for state distinction
for the past four seasons. Kinds
took the diadem in 1949 with a
Al to 80 verdict over Jones, re-
peated for state laurels in 1850
with a 40 to Is decision over
Ellisville and dropped thrill
ing 80 to 80 battle to Northeast
of Bonneville in 1851. In their
first meeting, Goodman. and
RAYMOND tied. 34-34, while the
former registered hard-earned
% to Is victory the second time
the cagers encountered one an
other. Goodman advanced to the
semi-final round last year only
TO be toppled by the Eaglettes'
80 to 40.
The Copiah-Lincoln basketeers
Of Wesson lead in state champ
ionships with nine, followed by
Goodman with three and Ray
mond and Moorhead with two
each.
The tournament will be play
ed in the new Goodman gym
nasium with its fine hardwood
floor and electro clock. The
building was used for the first
time this season.
The championship game Will
be played on Monday night
February Is.

Since hats this season come in
variety Of styles, look over the
one you have on hand and see
if a little redecorating you can
do yourself won't give one or
more the new spring-hat-look

Fine Silent on Plans
For Pennsylvania S 81
Unp|edged Delegates
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, April "a
The man who could best evaluate
Pennsylvania primary election
vote-Gov. John S. Fine-was
maintaining well-guarded silence
today.
Gov. Fine admittedly holds the
key to the 7O-man delegation he
will lead to the Republican Ma
tional Convention in Chicago.
AS a result of Tuesdays ballot
ing, the so G. o. P. delegates and
10 delegates-at-large appear to
present this pre-convention stand:
Leaning toward Gen. Eisen-
hower-2O.
Favoring Senator Taft of Ohio
|-18.
Uncommitted-32.
Those 80 undeclared delegates
are controlled by Gov. Fine and no
one-not even the Governor him
fse1f-is saying which way they
lean.
Plans Unpledged Delegation.
The Pennsylvania has insisted
he plans to take an unpledged, un-
instructed delegation to Chicago
-one that could swing it's power
full bloc of votes to any candidate.
Since the primary two days ago,
Gov. Fine has studiously avoided
comment on the results that saw
Gen. Eisenhower pile up BAT ,420
popular votes to 1899 for Sena-
tor Taft and 121, ISL for Harold E.
Stassen.
The presidential preference vote
In the Pennsylvania primary was
not binding on the convention
delegates named. The names of
Mr.. Stassen and Gen. Eisenhower
were on the Republican ballot.
All Senator Taft's votes were
written in-something the Ohioan
asked his supporters not to do.
Fines Attitude in Doubt.
Sources close to Gov. Fine have
expressed the opinion the Penn
sylvania Governor would not per-
NIT the presidential preference
vote influence his preconvention
thinking but others have been
equally insistent that the votes
rolled up by both Gen. Eisenhower
and Senator Taft would neces-
sarily have some effect on Fines
attitude.
Senator Taft-who refused to
permit his name on the Republi-
can ballot-said yesterday in
Washington that he and his lead
ers were quite satisfied" with the
results in Pennsylvania. The
Senator claimed Is of the States

Churchill Followers
Choke Off FiIibusfer
Over Health Fees
By the Associofed Press

LONDON. April "a. - Prime
Minister Churchill's Conservatives
today gagged Socialist filibuster
against fees for some of the coun-
try's free health service. The Tory
move opened the way to quicker
action on their proposals to turn
socialized steel and long distance
trucking back to private owners.
The gag-called a guillotine
motion-will cut off the long angry
debate on the health service
charges after two more days. Mr..
Churchill's parliamentary major
ity hammered it through with e,
vote of 270 to 245 at the end of a
night session lasting until 6:12
am.
The Labor Party had fought for
weeks to prolong discussion of the
health bill with more than 100
Labor amendments. Debate on
them could have taken up. the en-
tire parliamentary session and
killed the rest of the Tory pro-
gram.
The Socialists installed the free
health service. The Conservatives,
insisting it costs too much, intro
duced the present hard-fought bill
to charge for prescriptions, wigs
and dental service.
Socialist Aneurin Bevan, en-
gineer of the free health service
under the former Labor govern
ment. has warned his party will
block even the traditionally nom
partisan appropriation bills if the
Tories ram through their health
measure.

rubber programs, be-
ing handled by RFC now, would be
wrecked because without the
Government lending they can't
Senator Byrd retorted that his
measure would end only the busi-
ness loan functions but transfer
the rubber and tin programs to
other existing agencies. Senator
Taft, Republican. of Ohio, and
Senator Sparkman, Democrat. OF
Alabama, tangled over whether
small businesses could get defense
loans from the Defense Depart
ment if RFC were liquidated.
The stormy wind-up of the de-
bate differed greatly from the
early afternoon speeches heard by
only a handful of Senators. Sen
ator Bricker described RFC as a
Symbol of the handout State
He declared it was inconsistent
for the Government to continue
the "lending-as-usual RFC" and
at the same time curb private
credit.
Senator Ferguson charged that
RFC "often financed other Gov
agencies" and thus by
passed congressional appropria-
tions committees. He assailed RFC
as "a small government of its
own" He scoffed at the suggestion
that there had been only a "few
rotten apples" in the RFC barrel
He said the whole system and the
slaves of the barrel itself were
rotten"
Senator KEN called for a "de-
cent burial" of RFC. He said the
2O-year old agency not only has
outlived it's usefulness but now
adds fuel to the fires of inf1a-
ton" To continue RFC, he added
would merely continue the op-
portunity for temptation.

Administration Funds
Backing Eisenhower,
Carroll Reece Says
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, April 24.-Former Re-
publican National Chairman Car
roll Reece says the Truman Ad-
ministration is spending huge
sums to promote (Gen. Dwight
ID Eisenhower - because they
figure Eisenhower is the Demo-
Gratis best bet."
Mr.. Reece, Republican repre-
sentative from Tennessee. made
his charge at a news conference
last night. He came here to speak
at Milton rally for Senator Taft
for the Republican presidential
nomination.
Every slightest development in
the Eisenhower camp is empha-
sized in extravagant language by
a propaganda apparatus aided by
the Democratic administration"
he said.
Every passport applicant re-
ceive a portrait of the General
and the eulogy of his program
with his passport.
Stamp Issue CHARGED.
Timed right for the campaign,
the Post Office puts out a COM
memorative stamp of the General.
But the Defense Department is
doing most to help. They have
arranged for the Generals aide,
Gen. .(Alfred NJ Gruenther
(Eisenhower's chief of staff, to
tour the country to whip up sup
port for the Eisenhower campaign.
I am reliably informed Gen.
Gruenther's current speaking tour
to key cities was arranged with a
dual mission: Cd a public rela-
tions and sales job to build up
support for his boss, Gen. Eisen-
hover; (2) a contact job around
the country to generate a 'spon-
taneous' march on the Republican
convention In July"
Complains to Eisenhower.
Mr.. Reece later said he had
taken up with Secretary of State
Acheson the matter of including
what he called "a blurb about
Eisenhower" with passports. "They
justified it as a means of pro-
noting goodwill for the NATO
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- :
tion) project" he said.
Mr.. Reece said he had been told
stamp is Gin process" which
would commemorate the activi-
ties Of NATO-but using Eisen-
hower's picture as a symbol.
MY information is the stamp
would be released in time for the
conventions, but this may kill it
off," Mr.. Reece said.
The Post Office Department said
in Washington it had no stamp
honoring Gen. Eisenhower in
pl ocess of preparation.
Officials noted that the depart
ment does not depict living per-
sons on the postage issues.
On April 4. the department is
sued a commemorative NATO
stamp, the design being a display
OF the several flags of the North
Atlantic Treaty countries.
No comment was available from
the Defense or State Departments.
