ita Khrushchev algain directed
baifbs at British, French and
American “colonialism” at a
political rally held Tuesday in
the Burmese capital’s city ball.
“Colonizers can in no way
reconcile themselves to the loss
of their positions in the South
east Asia and Pacific Ocean re
gions,” Russia’s communist
party boss said to a polite Bur
mese audience of 3,000, mos Jy
women.
The rally was sponsored by
the ruling AFFFL (antifascist
peoples freedom league) party.
Premier U Nu, as party presi
dent, presided.
Khrushchev read bis 5,000
word speech.
He asked British journalists
! why (they felt offended when
! some facts from the past were
; recalled. He said “not a single
bourgeois journalist would
j dare raise his voice against cer
tain actions of some persons of
England, France and America.
You would not find in the Brit
ish press strong voices of pro
test algainst: the roisterings of
j Portuguese colonizers who un
lawfully hold in their hands an
integral part of India — Goa.”

The City Independent Lea
gue, once the most powerful cir
cuit in the Southeastern region
in memorable years past, will
begin operations at Edgecumbe
field house tonight in pivotal
opening games that will see one
of the four league teams auto
matically qualify for the an
nual trek to the Capitol City
Gold Medal tournament in late
February.
The defending champion
Sitka ANiB Tribe will be on
the war-path in quest of its
third straight scaipinlg party
in a meet with the Sheldon
Jackson Jaycees while the Nite
Hawks will attempt to dumb
found the experts with an up
set win over the undefeated
Totems.
Game time is set for 7 p. m.
Baranof basketball, once the
best in the (territory, dropped
to an all time low after the
1952 season and if the local
scarlet and white ANB cluib
had not kept local prestige up
1 to par in Gold Medal play,
would have dropped out of the
picture completely.
Until something better
comes along, <the writer will
have to — since we are an ex
ponent of the age old axiom of
buck with a chamipion” —
pick the AiNiB Clan to reach,
the kinlg row for the 8th suc
cessive year. The last time the
wfhiite-shirted horde (bit the
dust was in the opening game
of the 1949-50 season wihen a
monstrous Sitka Columbia
outfit turned the trick in a
real shocker, 36-35. The Tribe
hasn’t lost a league counter
since.
Based primarily on early
season performances and what
this observer has seen in prac
tice sessions, the Totems may
have more basketball than
they can handle in their first
venture to put an end to the
stronghold grip that the AN®
has applied to the local crown.
The loss of Frank White, (form
er Edgeoumbe kingpin, to the
already loaded AN® club, is
n’t helping the Totems in their
first time around.
The Nite Hawks, the perpe
| tual have-nots in the peach

will waige interesting foatirles
of their own — in what should
be rtflie best encounter of the
league — <to stay out of 'the cel
lar.

Playing before empty stands

look for the Sitka ANOB and
the Ketchikan Rockets to fin
ish one-two in Gold Medal
play . though not neces
sarily in that order . the
San Francisco Dons, national
collegiate champs, are listed
as the nation’s number one
team. The Oklahoma City U
