CAP Cadets Team To Shoot At ANG ArmOry

The CAP Cadets started their small bore shooting at the Ma .tional Guard Armory Wednesday night under the able guidance of Phil Lancaster. Most of the Cadets fired in both prone and offhand positions and turned in some re- markable scores for their first time on the range. Range Officer Gordon Osborne and 1st Sgt. Charlie Dickson of the AVG in- structed the Cadets on range eti- quette and safety rules,~ and they are both happy to say that there were no infractions of the rules. All the Cadets were informed of the danger of careless handling of guns as well as in proper shoot ing positions. They look like the coming team to beat in the league.
 Any teams still wishing to com pete or learn the rudiments of marksmanship may contact Cor don Osborne at either the Dream Theater or at the Guard building for a night at the range.
 Teams entered so far are the Polar team, the Board of Trade, Munz Air Service, Wallace Hotel, CAP Cadets, Art & Trade Center, 14 Club, and the Guard. Any teams wishing to compete may do so by contacting the range officer.
 The public is invited to drop in any night the range is in use. Instructors will be available for any teams that request them.

Maids Night Out
BY RAYMER
pANNE OF THE INDIES" at
the SAN CARLOS THEATRE.
Nv pAYME 2

Here's a saga, in breath-taking
color, of the Spanish Main which
has a double romance and a uni
que. ending. The heroine doesn't
get her man! Nevertheless, it is
a satisfactory finale. The story is
about a woman pirate, Ann Pro
Vidence, who really did live back
in the 18th Century when Key West,
incidentally, was pirate hang
out. Jean Peters, pert-nosed and
tousel-headed has the role of the
swashbuckling girl promoted in the
privateer racket by Blackboard,
one of the most brutal pirates OF
all time.
This role is done with evident
relish by Thomas Gomez all deck
ed out in a long plated bead and
brocaded coats. Herbert Marshall,
veteran actor, has the part of a
ships doctor who tries to be
counsellor for the madcap woman
of the seas, and succeeds, up to
a point. swords point. He is
completely believable as the rum
swizzling philosopher who had
seen better days.
Louis Jourdan is cast as the man
In the lady pirates life. Unfor-
tunately for her, he has a wife,
slim aristOcratic lady played by
Debra Paget. The triangle situa-
tion is different than most and
you'll find yourself kissing Jour
tough Anne.
There is much sword-play, fight
ing on the high seas and scraps
in low dives. The-sign of the skull
and crossbones is always good for
exciting drama, and this is one of
the better Cnes.

Hafe-America Drive
Denied, but Moscow
New Attack
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Aug. 2.-Moscow's
English-language magazine, News,
said today there is not now and
never has been any such thing as
a Hate America" campaign on
the part of any Soviet leader or
any Soviet publication.
The same day this article ap-
lpeared News is a propaganda
weekly intended for western read
ers) Pravda launched a new attack
on Americans.
The Communist Party news
paper rejected U. S. Ambassador
George F. Kennan's protes
against an Aviation Day poster
showing U. S. planes being chased
by Soviet fighters. Mr.. Kennan
previously had also complained
against Soviet press attacks pic
turing Americans as beasts, canni-
balls and so forth.
News, in a leading editorial, said
that far from a Hate America"
campaign, the feeling exists here
for improving Soviet-American re-
IlationS.
Neither as the present time nor
at any time in the past have there
been insurmountable differences
between the two countries" it said.
Never have their vital interests
clashed or led to conflicts that
could not be resolved peacefully.
do actual conditions exist to-
day that would help improve So
viet-American relations? Un-
doubtedly they do"
News then recalled Premier Sta
Inns 1947 statement to Republican
Leader Harold Stassen that the
possibility for cooperation al
ways existed, but that there was
not always the desire for CO.
operation. News continued:
"Present-day American policy
makers, far from evincing any
such desire, are, if anything,
whipping up propaganda hostile to
the Soviet Union. Yet. the ad-
justment of Soviet-American re-
lations would relieve international
tension and would be a definite
contribution to world peace and
security"
Publication of this editorial with
the blast in Pravda at Ambassador
Kennan's protests concerning the
Aviation Day poster to which, the
Communist Party paper said, "the
Soviet people took a liking"
