And Published In The Democrat

their selections upon the personal
ity and charm as portrayed in the
pictures. Every child and family
group is eligible.
No Charge to Parents
There is no charge to the par
ents. There are absolutely no
strings to this invitation. 1t is
bonafide in every sense of the
word. Parents do not have to be
subscribers, nor even readers of
this newspaper to take advantage
of this feature. Neither are they
obligated to purchase pictures af-
ter they are taken. Those who
want some additional prints may
obtain a limited number by ARA
ngement with the Studio represen-
tative which they select the pose
they want printed in the paper
and entered in the contest. 1t is
entirely up to them.
The More Pictures, the Better
The DEMOCRAT simply wants
pictures of all the youngs-
ters and the more, the better So
the Mothers and Fathers of the
community in which this paper cir
culates should remember the date
Friday, April 80 at the Eagles Hall
and not fail to bring their
children to the photographer.
You will be mighty glad, after
wards, if you did, and very, very
sorry if you do not permit your
children to participate in this G.
vent. The kiddies will have much
fun and both Mother and Dad -
and the youngsters, too - will be
very proud to see their pictures
in print later. And remember,
your child may win one of those
wonderful prizes to be awarded.

Lost lndion Troops
Pull Out Of Tibet
BY The Assoeioisd Press

NEW DELHI, India, Oct. g.
The last Indian troops guarding
trade routes inside Tibet have
been withdrawn in compliance
with a new Indian Chinese
agreement in Tibet, the Indian
government radio said today.
The report said the final agree
ment had reached Gangtok, cap
ital of Sikkim.
British and later Indian troops
had guarded the trade routes in
the remote Himalayan country
since 1910 under an agreement
between the British Indian gov
ernment and the Dalai Lama.
Under a recent pact with Com
munist China, Chinese troops will
take over the responsibility of
protecting traders from bandit
attacks in Tibet.

State Department
Withdraws Criticism,
OF Quemoy Stories

The State Department yester-
day took back some criticism of
the American press.
The criticism appeared in a
letter from Assistant Secretary
OF State Thruston B. Morton to
Representative Yorty Of Califor-
mia. Democratic candidate for
Senator.
Mr.. Yorty. after reading press
reports Of Secretary of State
Dulles news conference on Au-
gust "a, challenged the State De-
partment to let civilian authori-
ties-instead of the military
decide whether the United States
should defend the Nationalist
held island of Quemoy. just of
the Chinese mainland.
Blames, Incomplete Reporting.
Mr.. Morton wrote Mr.. Yorty:
with respect to the question of
civil versus a military decision.
Secretary Dulles press confer
ence statement Of August "a, to
which I believe you refer, was
incompletely reported and in
terpreted in the press.
1.-THE Secretary later ampli-
fled his remarks to make in clear
that the decision of course rests
with the civilian head of our
Government. the President"
For two days reporters have
pressed the State Department to
explain how the press "imcom-
pletely reported and interpreted"
Mr.. Dulles remarks.
Hits Choice of Words.
Today State Departm e n
Spokesman Henry Suydam said:
There could have been a bet
ter choice of words.
What he (Mr. Morton) was
addressing himself to was certain
erroneous conclusions rathe e r
than the suggestion that the
press reports themselves were
Inaccurate"
