Foresee Increase In Corn Support Loans Washington, Jan. 15.—<UP>— The agriculture department said today farmers may place more corn under government price supports this year than ever before, in its first official forecast, the department said price support loans on corn certainly will be the greatest since 1940 and may top the all-time record of 302,000,000 bushels set that year. At the government’s present loan rate, which averages J 1.44 per bushel, this would tie up more than 1435,000,000 in federal funds under the program. The department said it based its prediction on sag ging market prices resulting from last year's record-smashing corn crop. The metropolitan district of Phoenix, Arizona, has a population of more than 121,000. Willys Cars & Trucks ALSO USED CARS See “Doc” Vizard DOC’S CAR DOCK

There’ll be more on tap this afternoon and tonight. —oOo— Even Commodore fans should have two nifty reasons for consolation at their loss. They’ll be able to get another look at Monmouth's blonde cheerleaders, all decked out in buttons and bows. —oOo— No team ever got a reception like the Jefferson Warriors when they returned from the showers. By contrast, did you see the trio of Geneva girls sobbing in the corridor —oOo— Talk about jinxes. Monmouth toppled the Commodores in the closing minute and a half last Friday night, but waited till the final gun shot to take its tourney bow. —oOo— The Commodores are the back-slapping-est team in the county. Knock ’em down, punch ’em in the face or steal the ball from out of their hands . . . they’ll still keep smiling. How can they be so congenial? —oOo— To Fred Kukelhan, Eagles guard, goes the rating miracle man first class. It was his long set shot, aloft just before the final gun fired, that brought the sweet-tasting fruits of victory home to Monmouth. —oOo— Speaking of heroes, Joyce Smit- | ley scored five of Jefferson’s six final points. What happened to the 16 point cloud Geneva was i floating on at half time? QUERY MAIL (Cont. From Page One) the station. Could not recall if the money sack was among them. Waukesha police chief Harold Owens I said a patrol car accompanied the truck to the station. When they arrived, Owens said, Stankowski waved the squad car on its way as he began dumping the load on the baggage car. I Holmes said truck drivers are not required to obtain receipts for their deliveries. Bank officials said the money pouch was delivered to the post office by a special agent. Several clerks told Holmes it was placed in a larger sack destined for Chicago. But Holmes said it seemed certain the bag did not reach the station because clerks in the mail car said they never received it. Postal inspectors assigned to the case in addition to Holmes includAl J. John Thompson of Springfield. Ill.; N. H. Albert of East St. Louis, 111., and Frank McGee of Milwaukee. The Soo line sent' C. V. Whitchurch, chief of its special police to aid them. STATE POLICE (Cont From Page One) suggested "$25,000,000 or $30,000,000 " But Kendall said "I think It should be $35,000,000.’’ The original U. S. Liberty bell' was cast in London.

Auburn Beals Kendallville, Leads NEIC I Indianapolis, Jan. 15 — (UP) — The law of averages and tradition caught up with Lawrenceburg's Tigers today as the last member of the United Press “big ten" saw its perfect record go by the boards. Coach Bud Bateman’s outfit was the major victim on the Indiana high school basketball card last night. Lauwrenceburg was upended at Aurora in a southeastern conference tilt, 42 to 39. It was a rough and tumble affair and the two clubs parted deadlocked at 23-all at the half before the Red Devils forged ahead slowly to snap the Tigers' 12-game winning streak. But it was sweet revenge for coach Wayne Erwin’s boys, who earlier this season dropped a point affair at Lawrenceburg. Thus, chances that a major club might enter next month’s big tourney unbeaten were dwindling as only Auburn and Indianapolis Crispus Attucks sported perfect records. Lawrenceburg, in fourth place of this week’s United Press statewide rankings, along with thirdplace Lafayette Jeff and Frankfort were last night’s major victims. Jeff's Broncos dropped their fifth game of the campaign, losing at home to Muncie Central’s off-and-on Bearcats, 36 to 35 in a north central conference game in which lioth teams looked tired. Frankfort’s Hot Dogs were upended at New Cas le -in another NCC tilt. 39 to 35. The home forces rallied in the last two minutes to win after trailing 34 to 31. Meanwhile, six other "big ten" clubs hung up victories. Anderson blasted Indianapolis Tech, 58 to 40; Hammond eased past Valparaiso, 60 to 38; New Albany outclassed Evansville Bosse, 60 to 41; Huntingburg edged Jasper in a thriller, 53 to 50; Madison rolled over Salem, 63 to 35, and Brazil whipped Terre Haute Wiley, 51 to 34. Anderson, which last Tuesday night had a hard time winning from i Shelbyville in overtime, won its' 10th game in 11 outings as its top I scorer Bob Rousey got 21 points. | Walter Poff’s 20 points paced New Albany’s Bulldogs to their 10th triumph in 12 starts. New Albany pulled away in the third period after taking a slim 34 to 31 halftime lead. Huntingburg had too much height and had to spurt in the final stanza to nip coach Cabby O’Neill’s Wildcats. Buzz Rumbach got 21 points for the losers, while the Hunters' classy center Tom Smith got 14. It was the winners’ 11th win in 13 games, a record matched by Hammond in its trouncing of Valpo, Brazil made it 12 wins against one loss by shellacking Wiley. Auburn, South Bend Central and' Evansville Cenral of the “wellregarded” list also came through I as expected. Auburn was practically! a "shoo-in” 'for the northeastern conference title after besting rival Kendallville, 36 to 25 for its 14th victory in a row. South Bend Central romped over Goshen, 57 to 41, to make its record read eight wins against four losses, but Evansville Central’s Golden Bears had to fight all the way to edge Washington, 41 to 40. Bill Phillips, whose 20 points topped both teams in scoring, sent his eighth fielder through the hoop in the final five seconds of play for the game-winning points. TIENTSIN FALLS (Cont. From Page One) forces were moving into position before the east gate of Peiping, last major Nationalist bastion in the north. Tientsin fell quickly after Communists pierced the city’s defense line in savage hand to hand fighting with bayonets and hand grenades. Sweeping in from the northwest, the Communists overran the old city, the former British and French ’ concessions, and the modern business district. They pushed the last jdefenders southwest toward the race course, into the teeth of an-i other Communist attack. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

KIRKLAND (Cont. From Page One) 35-33 lead with three minutes to play. Dave Gillig’s foul toss made ( the margin three points with slightly less than two minutes to play, but Merriman hit a charity toss, Harvey a field goal and Fred Kukelhan a foul shot and Monmouth was on top, 37-36 with a minute to play. Kable was then fouled and made the free throw good to knot the count at 37-37, setting the stage for Kukelhan's • winning bucket. Kable was the game’s leading scorer with 15 points, nine of them on free throws in 12 attempts. Monmouth’s scoring was mighty well split, Graft leading with 10, followed by Kukelhan with nine and Harvey and Singleton with eight , each.
