Earlham's Quakers Upset Butler, 42-39 By United Press Earlham’s Quakers rose from the Indiana state collegiate basketball conference cellar last night to administer a kayo punch to Butler's championship aspirations. Butler went to Richmond with an undefeated record in eight games against league competition, but Earlham took a wide lead and then outlasted a closing Bulldog rally to triumph, 42-39. Butler’s defeat left De Pauw with an easy road to the championship. Tbe Tigers, who play host to Great Lakes tonight at Greencastle, wind up conference play against Franklin and Wabash.

Nazis' Punishment Conference Topic Joint Undertaking Is Seen As Needed Washington. Feb. «.—(l’P)-T!ie big three conference apparently must decide whether to put Getmany publicly on a par with Japan, for joint punishment as an outlaw | disturber of the peace. Severe punitive commitments a ■ ready had been jointly made with respect to Japan by China, Great Britain and the United States. There is no similar joint undertaking by the Soviet .Union. Great Britain and the United States to Impose specific penalties on Getmany. „ . When President Rooeevelt, 1 rime Minister Churchill and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek met in Cairo in November, 1943, they let Japan have a big bundle oi specific bad news. Their communique, dated Dec. ~ provided, among other things: 1— Japan shall be stripped of all Pacific islands seized or occupied since the beginning of World War I—August 1914. 2— -Territories ‘‘stolen’ by Japan from China shall be returned. Specifically mentioned were Mau-i churia, Formosa and the Pesca-! dores islands. 3 — Japan shall be expelled from j all other territories taken by "violence and greed.” ; 4— Korea, a Japanese vassal state, shall be freed. The Roosevelt-Chiang-Churchill communique also specifically pledged joint war on Japan as long as necessary to obtain her "unconditional surrender.” From Cairo, where they met with | Chiang, President Roosevelt and Churchill sped to Tehran to confer with Premier Josef V. Stalin. Since the Soviet Union is not at war with Japan, it was not feasible for Stalin to sit in on the Cairo conference. The Rooeevelt - Churchill - Stalin conference at Tehran produced a communique of fundamental importance to the immediate and future relationships of the three states. But it was phrased in deliberately general terms for the future in contrast with the Cairo communique’s specific discussion of some of the unpleasant thing# Japan might anticipate. Xhere was no mention in the Roosevelt - Churchill - Stalin co mmunique of "unconditional surrender” of ’Germany. The unconditional surrender stipulation was an after-thought to the January, 1943, conference between Mr. Roosevelt and Churchill. They met newsmen at Casablanca after the conference ended and Mr. Roosevelt said the United Nations objective was "unconditional surrender” of the Axis enemies. Churchill accepted the stipulation at once.
