The contest will be played at the Taylor university gym at Upland, just six miles west of Hartford City. 000 The Airdales are playing all home contests this year at the university gym. Due to difficulties with the bondholders of the Hartford City magnificent new gym, built just a few years ago, the gymnasium is under lock and key, leacing a pack of homeless Airdales. 000 Thursday night the Commodores will play the Kirkland Kangaroos' in a return engagement at the local gym. The Kangaroos went down in defeat before the Commodores in an early season tilt, but have, improved considerably in recent weeks. 000 Eyes of most of Adams county fans, and for that matter, fans all over this section of the state, w ill be turned toward Bluffton Thursday night, when the Berne Bears and Bluffton Tigers match field goals and foul (tosses. 000 The result of the battle may go a long way toward deciding the winner of the Bluffton sectional the first week in March. Berne and Bluffton are the outstanding favorites. Berne last year won the sectional, then going on to cop the regional and advancing to the quarterfinals of 'he state finals before being eliminated by Shelbyville. 000 The Bears will be handicapped by the continued absence of Bobby Dro, veteran center and one of the mainstays of the Berne quintet. We were informed this morning that Dro is definitely out of the lineu for both the Bluffton game and the contest with Emerson of Gary Saturday. 000 Friday night both the Yellow Jackets and Commodores will again swing into action.

CHARGES MOVE I TO BLOCK TAX Allege Textile Industry Seeks To Block Tax Recovery Waahington. Feb. 3 — (UP) — I Charges that a "well organized”. movement in the textile industry | seeks to block recovery of outlaw- > led AAA rroceasing taxes were laid before a houee sub-committee today at the same time and administration's new farm bill was favorably | reported to the house. Rep. Henry Ellenbogen, D., Pa.. i charged b.fore a house labor subcommittee that the alleged rnove- ! ment in the textile industry was ‘ .designed to block proposed retro-) active tax legislation to recover some $200,009,000 (M) in taxes which the suipreme court ordered returned to processors. The administration has been seeking a method to recover the taxes and also will ask congress for substitute farm taxes, totalling probably $500,000,000. to finance the new program for soil conservation and production control. The house bill, reported today by i a 17 to six vote, differed slightly j from the measure already reported I to the senate for debate today or I tomorrow. Republicans prepared to attack the new measure as uncon- , stitutional. Meanwhile, Ellenbogen brought the subject of prpeessing taxes during teestimony of textile men at the subcommittee hearing. “Every member in congress is ■ getting letteres opposing these taxes," he said, asserting that the ) cotton texteil? industry, Inc. was one of the organizations behind it.
