selves; and third, we seek to de-
feat the aggressor if he forces a

themselves"
He continued: Now let us get
on with the urgent business that
the free peoples of the Western
world have entrusted to us.
And let us do it well. Let US
work for peace through strength

lection of our freedom and our
way of life"
The only member of the North
Atlantic Alliance not represent

no defense ministry.
The military plan under dis
cuSSion has been described as.
middle-te one - that is, il
covers the next few years be-
fore Western defenses can be
brought to full efficiency.

Woman Burnsfo Death
In Locked Bedroom
Special Dispoteh 70 The Sser


STANLEY, Va, Nov. %. A
75-year-old woman was burned
to death early today while her
son and a grandson fought
futilely to rescue her from a
locked bedroom when fire de-
stroyed their home near here.
The body of Mrs. Becky Ales-
worth was found huddled in q
corner Of the room which no one
had been able to enter.
Mrs. Alesworth's son, Russell
(Pete) Painter, and his son, about
18, barely made their own way
to safety from the burning build
ing. They fled into the subfreez-
ing weather. wearing only their
nightclothes.
Volunteer firemen from Stanley
were called to the Painter house,
a mile west of here, about 1880
am. When they arrived, the one
story frame structure was in
flames. They managed to save
some nearby farm buildings.
The flremen said the blaze may
have been caused by an over
heated hue. They said a fire had
been kept going in stove so the
house would be warm when Mrs.
Painter returned about 2::30 am.
from her nightwork at the apps6
plant In Timberville.
Mr.. Painter works for a WASH
ington contractor. One son was
away.
