LANCER Plans Attack
On Churchill Denial
Of Fighting for Spain
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

| 0I NV ~SS0St0tVo fgOSb
Senator LANCER, Republican, Of
North Dakota promised q reply
today to Winston Churchill's
statement that Senator LANCER
utter an untruth when he said
Mr.. Churchill fought for Spain in
the Spanish American War.
Utterly devoid Of the truth"
was Mr.. thurchill's description Of
Senator Langer's charge.
I'm going to answer today Just
as soon as I can get the Senate
floor" Senator LANCER told . re-
porter. There is going to be some
desk pounding"
Mr.. Churchill, former British
Prime Minister and one OF the
worlds noted orators. is now IN
this country on visit. He sent q
telegram yesterday to Chairman
Connally Of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee denying Sen
ator Langer's charges. Senator
Connally placed 1t IN the Senate
record.
Jenner Defends Churchill.
It dealt with this question,
which Senator LANCER put to Sen
ator Jenner, Republican. OF In
diana Monday during the latter's
foreign policy speech:
"Is the Senator from Indiana
familiar with the fact that during
the Spanish-American War the
same Winston Churchill who now
brags that he is half American,
took up arms for Spain, and
fought against the United States.
and did all he could to defeat us?"
Senator Jenner replied that Mr..
Churchill was doing what he
thought best for his country"
Mr.. Churchill telegraphed Sen
ator Connally:
The statement made by Mr..
LANCER is entirely devoid OF the
truth. I visited Cuba and was
with the Spanish army as an OBJ
server during the months OF No
vember and December. 1895.
| Says War Started Later.
There was then no question
Of the United States being in
volved in war with Spain. This
war did not in fact begin until
February 1898. or more than two
years after I had left Cuba.
II should be grateful II you
felt able to contradict this false
charge by stating the facts to the
Senate so that the truth appears
in your record"
Senator LANCER attempted to
reply last night after Senator
Connally had finished, but was
unable to obtain the floor. He
then stalked out Of the chamber,
angrily shouting I'll reply to-
morrow"

Soldier Memorial
Suffers VandaIs

The least this community can
do in expressing gratitude to the
young men and women w h 0
served in the late war is to see to
it that the soldier memorial in the
city park will not continue to suf-
fer destruction by local vandals.
Last y ear at this time a sky
rocket was fired into h e west
face, a large hole being bored in
to the plate glass covering. This
week a heavy rock or other OBJ
ject was thrown against it as to
cause further damage.
One of the finest d e e d s our
government could do would be to
make it a federal offense for any
person to commit a vandalistic
act against a monument erected
to the memory of those who in
time of peril wore the uniform.
The soldier memorial is a sacred
symbol. Esteem for it should be
not less in measure than esteem
for the American Flag. In fact,
they are inseparable.
