Reds oppose free i
German elections J
in Septmber
GENEVA (TP) The Western
Big Three asked Russia today .
to agree to free nationwide <
German elections next Septem i
ber as a forerunner to reunifi- i
cation but ran into a Soviet
s.one wall. I
Soviet foreign minister Molo-1
tov, confronted with the new
Western plan at today’s Big 4 i
session, reiterated his demand
that representatives from com
munist East Germany and the
Bonn Republic ibe summoned to
discuss the reunification pro
blem with the four ministers.
He said today’s Western plan
for elections to precede unific
ation of Germany “failed to
conform” to the foreign minist
er’s directive from the summit i
conference of last July.
The elections would, accord
ing to this proposal, choose an
All-German national assembly
which would draft a new con
stitution for the entire country
and name a new governmem:
to replace the existing regimes
at Bonn and Berlin.
The new All-German govern
ment would then negotiate a j
general peace settlement with
the victors in World War II. i
U. S. secretary of state John
Foster Dulles, British foreign,
secretary Harold MacMillan i
and French foreign minister
Antoine Pinay introduced their
joint project as a companion
piece to the Western proposal
on European security filed last
week.

British Columbia
VANCOUVER, B. C. (JP)
Three hundred militia-men j
joined hundreds of volunteer
jivilians today in a renewed
oattle against further out
breaks of flooding rivers in
north Vancouver. |
Shortly before midnight, 500
men were forlning a hand-to
hand chain to throw up a
blockade of sandbaigs as the
rain-swollen Gapilano River
chewed through a dike.
North Vancouver was hard
est hit of all communities in
the rain-deluged lower main
land of British Columbia the
last 48 hours.
'More than 1*00 families were
reported evacuated from their
homes which in some areas
bordering streams were almost
completely inundated. At
least one home was swept
away.

NEW YORK UP) One of the

WEST VIRGINIA FIGHTING
FOR BOWL BID
by The Associated Press
The bowl hopefuls start get
ting the kids off the street this
weekend in college football
while the big three — Mary
land, Oklahoma and Michigan
— have nothing to fear but
■fear itself.
West Virginia, unbeaten but
lightly regarded, opens the
ibowl bidding tonight against
big, fast George Washington,
the only team that could give
the Mountaineers an argument
for the Southern conference ti
! tie. A convincing victory is
mandatory if West Virginia is
to lure a bowl bid. But it won’t
guarantee anything.
The Mountaineers are tops in
total oflfense and No. 7 in this
week’s Associated Press poll,
ibut even with a clean slate for
the season (Pitt, Syracuse and
North Carolina Stacie lie ahead)
they m>i(ght have trouble land
ing a bowl berth. They’re still
trying to live down that 42-19
pasting by Georgia Tech in the
: ’54 Sugar Bowl — their one and
only major bowl appearance.
Miami of Florida and Boston
College meet in the only other
major game on tap tonight. The
contest is set for the Orange
bowl field, but it won’t decide
any bowl contestant.
The big games for the bow]
committees come tomorrow —

issippi State-Auburn, Duke

Not since the 1951-52 basket
ball season began has there been
so much talk around town that
come February, a new cham
pion will be sit.inig atop the
throne when the final act in
local play rings down the cur
tain.
The Sitka Totems, a newly or
ganized (group under the spon
sorship of local merchants, are
going all out in player recruit
inlg and if this first sturmbling
block — meaning of course,
picking the right men that can
do the job — is overtaken suc
cessfully. their presence in lea
gue play will be felt. The To
tems should give the ANB its
tfirst serious challenge for the
crown since 1950 when the
Tribe had to use every trick
in the book to eek out a 67-66
decision from the Sitka Colum
bians.
The number of hopefuls, all
of whom are vieinlg for the 12
positions, is a number far gr<sat
er than any otf the local high
school coaches may ever be
blessed to have at any single
time. Unfortunately, many are
short on experience and if what
we have seen at the few pra
ctice sessions are an indication
| of the material on hand, coach
; Bill Marsh will have at his dis
posal approximately 12 or 13
