 Soroptimisf Club
 Queen Candidate

Claire Folta, 16-year-old daughter of Judge George Folta, was chosen by the Soroptimist Club as their candidate for the July Fourth Queen Contest, when the club met yesterday for their regular lunch con meeting.

Two new members, Clara Dilg and Minnie Hurley were un- able to attend. The new members attending were Amy Lou Blood, Hazel Hermann, Phyllis Langden, Ruth Sterling, Ellen Miller, Alice Tiltcn Thorne, Dorothy Pegues, Dr. Dorothy Novatney. Lucille Johnson and Beulah Lee. It was pointed out this is the first time the Soropti- mist Club has had an increase In membership since it's organization year ago.
 Mildred Hermann gave a short talk on the clubs accomplishments for the past year, and what it hopes to do in the future. Mrs. Hermann also outlined the purposes and ideals of the Soroptimist organiza- tion.
 The officers who were recently elected for the coming year were introduced as follows: President, Mernice Murphy; Vice-President, Henrietta Power; Corresponding Secretary, Dorothy Whitney; Trea- surer, Laura McMillan, and trus- tees for the three year term, retir- ing president, Lee Ellenwood.

 NENA(ED BY
 RED TROOPS
Chinese Nationalist Army Pouring Achievements
 Into Man(huria
By JOHN RODERICK

PEIPING, June 6-tR-The Gov ernment poured new endorsements into Manchuria by rail and sea to- day, and one Chinese press report said Nationalist troops had launch ed a counterdrive in a strategic sector of the battle with Chinese Communists.
 Red troops continued to menace Mukden, but Chinese dispatches reported a noticeable slackenng of pressure on Kaiyuan and Changtu, 50 and 10 miles Northeast.
 A new threat appeared East of the Chinese Changchun rail line around Sian, about 100 miles South of the Capital city of Changchun. The Nationalists acknowledged evacuating Sian in the face of re- peated Communist assaults.
 Nanking dispatches described the situation along Mukden's outer de- fense perimeter as very tense. The Governments Supreme Com mander, General Tu Yu-Ming, was quoted as perfectly confident in the Nationalists' ability to over come the Manchurian crisis. Har- old Milks, Associated Press cor respondent in Ranking, said, how ever, there was no indication that the force of the Communists Southward drive has been blunted.

The Middies heard part ing words from Navy Secretary Forrestal who told them the world was full of unrest and potential troubles. He predicted that the years ahead will be more deeply vexed than these which have con- fronted any generation since the Civil War.
