Because of an interest in
nature conservation that she
traces to her grandfather'S
friendship with Henry David
Thoreau, a shington
woman has given away a
wilderness island off the coast
of Maine and created a new
sanctuary in the chain of
wildlife refugees maintained
by the National Audubon So
ciety.
Mrs. Millicent Todd Bing-
ham, whose home here is on
Crescent place. presented the
deed to the society yesterday
in a ceremony on the island,
which lies in Moscongus Bay
near the town of Medomak,
Me.
Known historically and by
map-makers as Hog Island,
the area now becomes the
Todd Wildlife Sanctuary"
in the Audubon Society sys-
tenn. 1t is named in honor of
Mrs. Bingham's mother,
Mabel LOOMS Todd, who
bought most of the island
so years ago to save it from
being logged off for pulp
wood.
UnSpOiled
Eventually the family came
to own the whole island. 1t
is now the largest remaining
unspoiled sample of the
coaStal-forest geology that
once characterized the New
England coast.
The deed was accepted by
Society President Carl w.
Buchheister, former Prince
Georges County resident, son
of a tobacco grower and ex-
porter of Upper Marlboro.
Since 1896 the island has
been the site of the Audubon
Camp of Maine under a lease
arrangement with Mrs. Bing-
ham. Mr.. Buchheister was
director of the camp until

behind this provocative and
aggressive act. This is why
we lay bare with such deter
mination aggressive acts of thig
kind. The fact Of the bandit
flight of the American aircraft
brings into relief once again
the need for vigilance. for the
revolutionary vigilance which
has ever been peculiar to the
Soviet people.
We are fully aware that there
are still dark and evil forces on
earth which hate us and which
are ready to risk an adventure
to bring the course of history to
a standStill and to delay our in
evitable victory. We must be
vigilant every day and every
hour.
We do not want peace out of
weakness. Peace is the prere-
quisite for the peaceful and
happy life of the people. But
to safeguard the real triumph
of peace, the soldiers of peace,
the warriors of the just cause
must be always ready to rebuff
the aggressor, to deal counter
blows when the enemies of
peace provocatively attack our
country or on any other coun-
try Of the socialist camp.
That is why this case must
put us on our guard even more.
1t is necessary to go on con-
solidating the defense capacity
of our homeland, not to rest
ion our laurels, always to keep
the combat training of troops
on a worthy level. I would like
to emphasize that this is not
an appeal designed either to
excite the nerves in our coun-
try or to lull them but an appeal
for vigilance and good sense.

lkilometers over their territory,
how could they view that? Per-
haps they would do better to
seek a reply from Allen Dulles,
at whose instructions the
American aircraft flew over the
Soviet Union. (Mr. Dulles is
head of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency.)
i Indeed the whole world
knows that Allen Dulles is not
a great specialist in the field of
meteorology. I would ask those
who are voicing complaints
of this kind to come to the
Soviet Union where they may
familiarize themselves with the
remains of the aircraft, with
the equipment, the apparatus,
and they will be convinced with
their own eyes as to the aim
with which this aircraft was
sent.
I think it would be expedient
to hold press conference and
to show during it all the means
for the exploration of the at
mosphere, and in essence the
bandit means with which this
pilot who has accomplished a
diversion flight into the terri
tory of the Soviet Union was
equipped and armed.
In addition, I think that it
will be correct to pose a ques-
ton about the bringing of this
pilot before a court in order
that the public itself may be-
come convinced of the actions
undertaken by the United
States. provoking the Soviet
Union with a view to inflaming
the atmosphere.

The representative of the
President, (Press Secretary

President Eisenhower, in his
opinion, knew nothing about

that the President did not know
that a plane was sent beyond
the Soviet frontiers and did
not return. But this should
; make us even more watchful.
