February to $4,000 men, appears
now to be starting five months

Now that we have come to the end of the 1853

year have been singing the Key West High School
Alma Mater, wonder how many of those singing and
listening to this piece of music know when and by whom
the words written.
The Alma Mater as such was first presented by the
class of 1910 under the sponsorship of Mrs Bessie Egan
who adapted the words to fit the music of her Alma
Mater, Vanderbilt University. The class of 40 first
presented it the night of the alumnae banquet their

All who enjoy the stirring words can thank Mrs.

The Week in ReIiaion
By RELIGIOUS News Service

Secular organizations are
playing a notable part in ad-
vancing the cause of religion In
the United States.
An increasing number OF Serv-
ice clubs, businessmen's groups,
veterans organizations, indus
trial firms and other secular
groups are pitching in to help
religious leaders in their job OF
making church-goers of all
Americans.
In some of these organizations,
Nationwide mpaig are
under way to stress spiritual
values and the Importance OF
prayer and church attendance.
May is Church Month.
This week, Junior Chamber
members in 1850 communities

National Comdr. Lewis K.

Senators Get Report
FROM Robertson on
Talks With Rhee

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee threw a veil of Sc
crecy around every thing it
learned in a two-hour session
today with Assistant Secretary
Of State Robertson, who nego-
tiated with Syngman Rhee to
win his support for a Korean
armistice.
Mr.. Robertson was slated to
make a similar report this after
noon to the House Foreign AZ
fairs Committee.
I'm always an optimist," re-
piled Chairman Wiley of the
Senate committee when asked
If he expects a truce.
Public Report Seen.
Asked when the public will be
informed OF the details of the
agreement with Mr.. Rhee, Mr..
Robertson said he felt sure the
President and Secretary of State
would make such a report soon.
Before the meeting, Senator
Wiley had commented that "the
situation today does not look
good" He referred to the in
creasing Communist offensive.
Hard to Explain.
"It's pretty hard to explain
why, when you want a truce, you
spend human lives like moving
down clover" he added, "but we
don't know the Oriental mind" p"
Senator Wiley and Senator
Sparkman. Democrat, of Ala
bama, said they called Mr..
Robertson to get his personal
evaluation of the confused Ko-
rean situation.
II also want to ask him exactly
what Rhee has promised" Sen
ator Sparkman had said. II as
sumo Robertson acted under spe-
cif1c orders, and don't believe
he has ver-committed U.s."
Senator Wiley said Senators
want assurance that Mr.. Rhee
would carry out agreements "to
the letter and spirit" and not go
through with his previously an
nounced plan to fight on alone.
