Freakish May Brings
Freeze 10 Northeast
BY the Assoeioted Press

May continued its freakish
weather yesterday, bringing freez-
ing temperatures to the North
east States on the heels of floods
and tornadoes in the Plains States
The mercury slipped to % de-
grees in Concord, N. H, a record
low for SO late in the spring. The
fair and cool weather covered
Northern New England and up
state New York.
Fair weather returned to the
Plains States where floods drowned
four persons and a tornado killed
two. The tornadoes wiped out a
200-yard section in Olney, Tex
injuring more than score. Small
ler tornadoes hit Oklahoma.
The worst appeared to be over
in the floods in Oklahoma and
Kansas. Rivers that drove 500 per-
sons from their homes were re-
ceding.
Warm and humid weather COW
cred the Mississippi Valley and
Eastern Great Plains. The weather
was fair and mild along the Paci-
flc Coast. Rain fell in the coast
sections of the Middle Atlantic
States.
The small, persistent Atlantic
hurricane picked up a little speed
yesterday $50 miles off the Florida
Coast. 1t still packed winds up tc
80 miles an hour and caution was
advised for ships in its path.

is necessary because we cannot
depend upon allies to hold the
line until we are ready"
Gen. Vandenberg, discussing the
problems of air defense against
possible bombing attack by Rus
sia, said:
THE sky above is wide open
and our final targets are too big
to hide. An enemy with a pow
erful air force can put planes up
there if he tries hard enough and
is willing to take his losses.
when we are on the defensive,
that battle is fought over our
heads. AS long as we have to
fight defensive air battles over our
own country. we are almost
certain to be hit. =.
Defense against air attack is
important and it is absolutely
necessary. But it cannot win. In
any kind of struggle from fist
fights to jet bombers it is not
the detection of a blow that
brings victory; it is the blow de-
livered that wins"
LIE May Is Speaker.
Another Air Force commander
1t. Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, head
of the Strategic Air Command,
told an Armed Forces Day audi
ence at Columbus, Ohio, that "our
best insurance against aggression
has expired because we have lost
our superiority which was over
Whelming when we alone had the
atomic bomb"
Even large stockpile of
bombs will not guarantee 100 per
cent security now" he said.
He did not name any potential
enemy. But he commented that
by taking full advantage of every
psychological, political and eco
nomic opportunity, she has by
force expanded her influence and
simultaneously concentrated her
own resources for war
Gen. Clifton B. Gates. comman-
dant of the Marine Corps, declared
our chances for a permanent
and lasting peace are far better
than they were a year ago" In
an address at Nashville. Tenn. he
said the Nations defenSeS are
stronger and must be made strong
er still.
Air Force Secretary Thomas K.
Finletter said in New York last
night that Americas military

Mystified by the conversation,
officers handling the public ad-
dress system frankly admitted
that they were at a loss to explain
the sudden change.
Later it was stated officially
that the cancellation, as in the
case of most other aerial events,
was due to weather conditions.
The Air Force had an agreement
with the Civil Aeronautics Ad-
Iministration not to put on any
demonstration which would take
planes beyond the boundaries Of
the airfield except under certain
weather conditions, which did not
then prevail.

Free World $ Defense
Keynote Of Speeches
I0n Armed Forces Day

Defense of the free world key
noted Armed Forces Day speeches
Throughout the Nation yesterday
Administration spokesmen and
military leaders warned against
"ill-advised action" and urged
alert, sighted strengthening
of the power to deter or resist
aggression.
Gen. Heyt Vandenberg, Ali
Force Chief of Staff, said. in
Savannah, Ga. that the United
States has better war planes than
Russia. But Russia, he reported,
not only has more planes but also
is expanding its jet fighter force,
building hundreds of bombers and
making atomic weapons.
Admiral Forrest P. Sherman,
Chief Of Naval Operations, in a
speech at Louisville, KY, said the
fighting in Korea in the weeks
ahead may test the readiness of
United Nations to make that Or
ganization survive. 80
The defense of freedom. he de-
clared, confronts this country with
."the possibility. though not the
certainty, of war. possibly series
of relatively small wars, possibly
a general war" He added that
"if we face it with fortitude and
conviction, the possibility will be-
come less"
McGrath is Speaker.
The principal Administration
spokesman in Armed Forces Day
speeches was Attorney General
McGrath. At a luncheon in Phila-
delphia he warned that "the
stakes are high in the world
struggle with Communism and
hasty or ill-advised action could
very we'll spell disaster"
Secretary of the Army Pace,
speaking in Chicago, said the eff
fectiveness and morale of United
States and allied troops in Ko-
rea provide clear proof that. if
necessary, we will fight any ag-
gressor who dares to threaten our
liberties and our security"
Attorney General McGrath de-
Tended the Truman administra-
tons policies as being directed
toward careful, prudent use OF
our resources" while this coun-
try's potential advantage over pos
sible enemies is being converted
to an actual advantage"
ITO those who would label pru-
dence and carefulness as 'appease-
ment,' I say there is great dam
ger should we overestimate our
defenses." he said. Surely it is
not appeasement to hold foe at
bay while our own strength to
repel aggression is still potential.
Suggestions Offered.
Gen. Vandenberg and Admiral
Sherman offered specific sugges-
tions for moves in what Admiral
Sherman called "the grey area
between war and peace. The pro-
gram proposed by Admiral Sher-
man was:
l. Increase United States mill
tary strength to a level that will
certainly prevent disaster" and
deter aggression.
2. Give all possible support to
the fight against Communism in
the Far East.
3. Deploy military forces in
Europe and the Mediterranean to
deter aggression.
4. Assist United States allies to
build their economic and military
strength.
5.SMake gacriaces at home and
produce the goods and services
needed to support the American
way of hfes
The Navy chief contended that
the United States cannot depend
completely on anything but its
own military strength" to pre-
serve the Nations security.

World Series And
Louis Fight Take
Week Spotlight

New York City = Global =
Right now the World Series and
the Joe Louis fight are the two
most important things in the lives
cf most of those around our Hotel
Theresa here with most folk be-
coming so excited that it is just
not too good for their own good.
However, such is the life of some
people. But it might be we'll to
"be still, and know that all life is
being guided by God" No matter
what the occasion, the activity, the
time, place, or condition.
St. Louis still somewhat dis
turbed about the crowded condi-
ton in the Negro High Schools
there, and what with the Board of
Educations asking for a month to
do something - when the time
is NOW, as God says. So let us
bless all those who must join to-
gether to make the decision and
follow same with action that the
right thing is being done now for
the good of all who are in those
high schools.
Christmas now and everyday we
receive and give, so why not give
something now and make someone
else happy. Gifts always make hap
piness, and it's so wonderful to
give without the thought of re-
ceiving anything but love. That
lis just why Lou enjoys giving to
the thousands of shut-ins all dur
ing the year. Last Christmas Rapid
Reproductions made the number
of cards 5000, and together we
donated them to Zeta whose LA
Cheerios' project stays much
alive. Just a hint as Christmas is
nearing and SO many folks enjoy
that one day of giving. Try this
year giving to some one who can
not give you material gift in
return. But remember, nothing is
greater than love.
Ivan Costello, great singer
from Venezuela, is really doing
much with his voice, and his friends
from SA are looking forward to
his concert tour there in the early
spring.
The Schenley contest for the
most popular entertainer in Har-
lem has closed, and all of Teen
