Cupids' roles when they went into
emergency action so three midship-

Several weeks ago, the committee
put through the list of Annapolis

were listed incorrectly.
Among them were James Gibson,
Las Vegas, New: Elliott Dewey, New
York, and r. D. Lochner, San Diego,
Calf. who were planning to be mar
ried tomorrow after graduation.
The error meant that their COM
missions would be held up. without
their commissions, they could not,
under Naval Academy rules, be mar
ried.

The Senator Immediately related the

to need much American help during
the next three or four years. He
added that this country will provide
as much assistance as practical if
the European nations will draw up
their own recovery program.
Senator Taft went along with the
administrations $40O, ,000, 900 Greek
Turkish aid and s350,000,000 foreign
relief programs but has indicated
he favors tapering off of foreign
spending in general.
Mr.. Truman's attack on the Ohio
Senator directed new attention to
Senator Taft politically, too. Al
though Senator Taft has contended
that he isn't an active candidate,
there has been little doubt on Cap
itol Hill that he intends to bid for
the Republican presidential nomina-
tion in 1948.
If he should win that battle within
his own party and Mr.. Truman is
renominated by the Democrats as
expected, their conflicting economic
views probably would be major
