Big Four Conference Opens In Moscow To Prepare German And Austrian Treaties.

MOSCOW, March 10. (UP) Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov in a surprise move at the outset of the Big Four Conference opening in Moscow today proposed to add the Chinese situation to the agenda of the Council of Foreign Ministers. The foreign ministers of the

United States, Russia, France and Great Britain, aimed primarily at discussion of the German and Austrian peace treaties, met with an initial session of a lfttle less than two hours. - Molotov raised the question of China as the spadework for the gatherings of the ministers, declaring that they had previously agreed on the necessity for a united China. He observed that the situation had not improved and proposed that it be studied at this meeting. I C. Secretary of State George Marshall indicated in his remarks . that he might not approve unless i a representative of China sat in on the discussion. MOSCOW, March 10. (UP) The Big Four convened late today in the glittering Soviet House of Aviation Industry for the most important diplomatic conclave since Versailles. It is dedicated to the task of arranging peace treaties for Germany and Austria, and guaranteeing the security of Europe against aggression. 1 Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov presided at the first session. It was expected to be brief and largely devoted to formalities. The chair will rotate daily. There was an atmosphere "of caution and public optimism as ihe Biff Four met.

Privately, there was an air of pessimism among the delegates and a belief on the part of the Americans that a final draft of the German peace treaty can not be obtained at this meeting. Marshall emphasized previous statements that the United States wants to win agreement with Russia and France for a formal treaty to prevent a revival of German militarism.

TAX UKELY TO INDIANAPOLIS, Mar. 10 (UP) House of Representative members whose rebellion against the gasoline tax increase forced . Governor Ralph Gates to consider I calling a special session of the j General Assembly believe they would settle the issue and avoid the extra session. ; Gates said this morning as the legislature entered into final day of the regular session that i tne House did not pass the bill raising the tax a cent a gallon, he might reconvene the Assembly in a few weeks. But House members who reportedly ganged up on the bill because of an accumulation of peeves over the defeat of some of the bills that they favored, were said to be ready to approve the Governor's demand for the higher gasoline tax. A noon hour course was called to iron out the situation and House leaders said the Governor's wishes would be granted. 4-H Jr. Leaders Attend District Meet Friday A group of seventeen 4-H Junior Leaders from Sullivan County attended the Annual District 4-H Junior Leader Training Conference at Terre Haute Friday, March 7.

It pays to make those free throws. ' Shelburn's Panthers learned that again last , Saturday night when they used that method to upset the towering Alices of Old Vincennes in the final of the Vincennes Regional by 40 to 34. It was sharpshooting from the foul line tha, gave the Panthers that victory. The boys hit 16. out of 23, and that is good hitting. They had to do it, though, as the Alices dropped in 15 field goals to 12 for . Shelburn. On the other hand,-Vincennes hit on 4 of 8 chances. So, maybe it pays not to foul the other team, too.

To get to the final game, the Panthers broke a fourth quarter, 33-all tie. and went on to win a WASHINGTON, Mar. 10 (UP) ..Tnhn T. T.pwis and the United 1 . , . . .

The

Wildcats 46 to 39. The Alices .scored as many points in the fourth period as they scored in the first three. That Fourth Quarter' ," But up in Shelburn, Panther fans will be talking about the fourth quarter of the final game as long as they talk basketball. When the gun had ended thethird period, the Alices had a 32 to 29 lead, and from the way they, had buried Jasper in a fourth period scoring burst, it looked bad for Shelburn. Then Santus scored from the foul line, and Anderson did the same. That made the score 32 to 31. Over on the Vincennes bench, Coach Jay McCreary was a little worried, and he hurried Domroese back into the game. The big boy had four fouls on him, and had been taken out early in the third period. On the .first play, he fouled Dick McHugh as the Panther guard drove under the basket. That was all for Domroese. Panthers Head Against a roar of Vincennes boos that made the gym resound with noise, Dick calmly dropped in those two chances, and the Panthers were ahead. It wasn't a minute later that he was fouled again trying to score, and again ! h pitchd tw0 perf;ct ones )0 give the Panthers a 35 to 32 lead. With the Alices trying desperate-' ly to get another basket, M)-;Hugh was fouled again, and again he dropped it in. That made seven straight free throws the Panthers pitched in that crucial fourth period. After that it was anti-climax. The Alices couldn't get the ball away for a good shot, and when the Panthers started playing keep-away, Sweet streaked. under for a basket. In a flurry under the Alice basket,' Ertell tipped one in, but then someone forgot Sweet, and the Panther center went under for another lay-in, and that was the ball game. Twice in the first half, the Panthers had six-point leads. But then Domroese started hitting his pivot shots, and getting some of his robounds . in, and gradually Vincennes went into that 21 to 17 half time lead. Panthers Jittery thers stayed with the Alices, and twice had the lead down to one point, the last time at 27 to 28. Then Ertell hit a rebound and Jones hit going under. All Shelburn could . do was two free throws by Santus and McHugh. The Panthers played : their usual conservative game in the last half. In the third period, they ltook onIy 11 snots and in that final hectis elght minues. tnev fired 6 times- For the bal1 game' they shot 44 times and hit 12, for a percentage of .275. On the other hand, Vincennes fired 67 times, and could get only 15 through the hoop. Their percentage was .224. Sweet High Point For Shelburn it is hard to pick out any two that played better than the rest. Sweet was the best man on the floor, though, with his 15 points. He hit 5 buckets in 6 tries in the last half. And then . McHugh sank those 5 straight free throws in that last period. Of course, Metheny hit all bis 0 points in the first three periods, and kept Shelburn in the game. For Vincennes, Domroese was high point man. He hit on six baskets and a free throw for 13 points. Jones with 7 points was next. In the first afternoon game, the Panthers j trailed most of the first half, at one time in the last, minute, they did have a 17 to 16 lead, but a basket by Murdock (Continued on Page 4, Col. 1)
