lEAR READERS:

Eventful days are
here again and war
clouds roll over us
- once more. Never
before has one generation seen
so many wars, and it makes
one wonder when peace will
finally come and if it will be
lasting. We, in small lOcali-
ties, in any analysis, are little
people, but together we make
a mighty throng who question
the wisdom of some of the
moves of the big people. That
is not a form of mutiny, but it
is a form of our independ-
ence that we can hold to, and
have our say about important
issues of the day. Society, in
general, despises war and
would like to be encouraged in
their thinking that those in
high places are giving their
best efforts toward the end of
hostilities and less toward
their endeavor to shine in the
Dolitical light and in seats of
power. Surely the fatherhood
of God and the brotherhood of
men was never needed more
on this troubled earth than
now.
Mr.. and Mrs. George c.
Stokes welcomed a son in their

born in Memorial Hospital and

The Ambassador of the United

compliments to the Minister for
Foreign Affairs of the Union of

the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
of April IL, 1850, has the honor
to state that the only American
military aircraft which was in
the air in the Baltic area on
April 8. 1850. was a United

which disappeared on that date.
and no trace Of its crew has
since been found.
The United States Navy air
plane carried 10 persons. 1t was
wholly unarmed. 1t left Wies-
baden at 1921 am. Greenwich
time for a flight over the Baltic
Sea. and two and one-half
hours later reported by radio
crossing the coast line of the
British zone of Germany. All
American military aircraft oper-
ate under strict instructions to
avoid flying over any foreign
territory in the absence of ex-
press permission for such a
flight from the appropriate for
eign government. The investi-
CATION conducted by the United
States Government has con-
vinced it that the United States
Navy airplane in question COM
piled strictly with these instruc-
tions and did not fly over any
Soviet or Soviet-occupied terri
tory or territorial waters adja-
cent thereto.
In the ministry's communica-
ton under reference the Soviet
Government acknowledges that

upon an American plane on
