 Boy Scouts of Washington Hill, Troop and Post g, are sponsoring a Scrap Paper Drive on next Sun day, Sept. 29, from 10 A. M. to l P. M. This should be of great in- terest to the housewives right now, when the fall housekeeping is in progress. The members of the Troop Committee will very much appreciate it, if the papers are placed in a conspicuous spot in front of the houses so they can be seen quickly-before 10 o'clock in the morning. This would perhaps save making a second call This scrap paper drive is of great importance to the scouts, as the funds obtained from their sale helps to swell the scouts treasury.

(Continued from Page D tion that Wallace was privileged to express any views he might person. ally hold.
 Reached in Boston, Sparkman told the United Press:
 T believe MT. Wallace-as a pri- vate citizen-has right to express an opinion as to what our foreign policy should be But I don't think he is in position to decide that policy. If the President and Secre- tary of State say it is one thing, then that's what it is, so far as I am concerned"
 Does Not CIarify Status
 Sparkman did not explain how a cabinet member could speak as a private citizen nor whether the speeches with which Wallace will seek votes in this campaign are to be interpreted as representing his ideas of what should be done or what the Administration will un- dertake to do.
 All oNdAD4O4A OO IIlC IOIlOQc 1SldIlO engagement, Sparkman has ar ranged for Wallace to speak during October in New York, Pennsylvania Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio, In- diana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kan sas, Iowa and Washington The schedule was subject to expansion when it last was under discussion On Nov. Wallace is due in Chile to represent Mir. Truman at the inauguration Of President Elect Gabriel Gonzalez Videal.
 Wallace's associates said he might have something to say today or this week about the foreign policy speech. He read or at least showed the speech to MT. Truman a day or so before it's delivery Wallace may have been under the impress sion, as were the newspapermer who questioned the President or Thursday, that approval" of the speech meant approval of what il said and not the privilege of tht speaker to say It.

London, Sept. 16-(UP) - Five Communist leaders charged with conspiracy in organizing London's squatter apartment seizures were bound over today until Sept. 24 after a one-minute hearing in Bow Street police court.

 Hundreds of families still were holding out in the Duchess of Bed ford House, Abbey Lodge, and Ivan- hoe Hotel. There was no indication that the government was pre- pared to force an immediate evic- tion. Injunction writs against sev- eral of the squatter tenants are re- turnable tomorrow.
 Two hundred special constables were sent to Chester Terrace in Re- gents Park last night on an anonymous tip which proved CT. 1OliCOuo. NO O4udVUCAo oPPCo1 OA " invade" the apartments.
 Harry Pollitt, general secretary of the British Communist Party, de- manded withdrawal of the charges yesterday as squatter sympathizers paraded through the West End be- hind watchful mounted police. Traf- fic was held up for ten minutes, but no incidents were reported.
 The Communist leaders arrested late Saturday were released in bail pending their court hearing today. They were Edward F. Bramley, sec- retary of the London district of the Communist Party and member of the national executive committee; Maurice Israel Rosen, Communist member of the Stebney Borough Council; Joyce Alergant and Gabriel Carritt, Communist members of the Westminster City Council; and Ed- ward Stanley Henderson, secretary of the Duchess of Bedford house sduatters group and the Hammer smith Communist Party.

St. Francis XaUier Parish
 Veterans Plan to Organize

It was announced at all the Masses at St. Francis Xavier Church yesterday, that there will be a meet ing of all the veterans of World War II, young men and women of the parish at the Parish Hall to- night at o'clock. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the or ganization of parish Veterans Club or Society. Considering the fact that there were in the neigh borhood of 600 young people in the service of our country, from this parish alone, would seem that an organization of this kind would be in order.
 It has been one of the greatest handicaps that the young veterans of our city have, according to the young men themselves, that there is no place for them to meet in groups to discuss important mat ters anywhere in the city. It would seem that St. Francis Parish has anticipated the needs of the young people, in this and the parish hall would be a great help for meetings, socials, etc. No doubt if all the
