Commander White Speaks
Legion Accomplishments Traced

FOWhAlAN rep. III = a
combined meeting Of the Ameri-
can Legion Auxiliary and the
American Legion of Powhatan
was held to honor Colonel Lee
land w. Skaggs for his 40 years
of faithful service to the Amer
can Legion. Monday night.
The meeting opened by the
Post Commander, General X. w.
Haas and a prayer was given by
Mickey Morris, chaplain of the
local post.
Post commanders were recog-
nized, including P. Allen Brauer,
William R. Blandford, Julian L.
Bowles. Charles E. Brockman,
Horace M. Franklin. Herbert A.

president of 4th District Ameri-
can Legion Auxiliary, and Steve
Musulin, commander of 4th Dis
trict American Legion. Several
members of the Legion Luncheon
Club were present. Also present
was Charles L. Kesler, adjutant
Of the state department Of the
American Legion.
Commander White gave a
speech about the accomplish
ments of the American Legion
since 1919. He said the legion
has increased from 1000 mem
bcrs to over 100000. There are
approximately 1900 American
Legion posts in the country. Sixty
per cent Of these posts own or
are buying their post homes.
The American Legion has been
recognized in many states as a
nonporlitical organization. The
president and the vice president
of the United States are legion
naires. Also 81 governors are,
plus large number of senators
and representatives.
The CT Bill of Rights was
fathered by the American Legion
in the early '4O's as part of
desire of the legionnaires of
World War l for future veterans
to have benefits that w. w. vet
Grams never had.
The CT Bill of Rights ID

in recognition of his service.
Colonel Skaggs said, when l

grew. 1t is a pleasure and an
honor to be in the American

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Sept. "a (AP). The United
States agreed yesterday to an
other United Nations airing of
Soviet charges on the RB-47
and U-2 plane issue despite an
American charge that the So
Wet accusations are founded
on falsehood."
The debate on the two planes,
which were shot down by the
Soviet Union earlier this year
for alleged spying by their
crews, was put on the agenda
of the Geenral Assembly by its
21-nation Steering Committee.
The Assembly will take up the
question later this year at the
Russians request.
ALREADY Exposed"
The u. N. Security Council
already has debated the case of
the U-2 and its pilot, Francis
Gary Powers, and the case of
the RB-47 reconnaissance
plane. The Soviet Union failed
to win U. N. condemnation of
the United States for sending
the planes and took the case
to the Assembly.

Reds Win New Airinq
OF Spy Plane Charges

James j. Wadsworth said the
United States would not op-
pose a new debate but he added
that the Soviet charges are
founded on falsehood-not a
new falsehood but one that has
already been exposed in the
United Nations"
The Steering Committee also
was the scene of a bitter clash
between East and West on q
proposal to review Soviet sup
preston of the 1856 Hungarian
revolt.
Mr.. Wadsworth said the
Soviet Union repeatedly has
ignored Assembly resolutions
on Hungary. He urged that the
Assembly again consider the
"intransigence" of the Soviet
and Hungarian governments.
Reds Vote No
The committee vote in favor
of the Hungarian debate was
1874, with four absentions. The
Soviet Union. Romania, Bulga-
ria and Yugoslavia voted no.
The Steering Committee still
has to decide whether the As
sembly will consider the ad-
mission of Communist China
this year. That question was
scheduled for a Monday night
session.
The Steering Committees
votes are subject to ratification
by the Assembly, but that usn-
ally is a formality.

BossIer and Lowe Pace
Pros at Court House

Charley Bassler, who has re-
gained his confidence, and Jack
Lowe, back in competition after
a delicate foot operation,
showed the way to the Mid
Atlantic pros in the third pro-
lady tournament of the season
at Court House yesterday.
Bassler apparently is finding
his game Just in time for the
Middle Atlantic PGA cham
pionShips to be played over his
home Turf Valley course next
month. Charley posted a two
under-par 10, and with Mrs.
Walt Goodrich of the host club
won the best-ball competition
with a 66.
Lowe, who will be host to the
area pros Monday in a pro-
amateur at Goose Creek,
matched Bassler's 70. Lowe
missed most of the season be-
cause of an exposed nerve on
his right foot which required
an operation.
The assistant pros, who will
meet for the Mid-Atlantic as

Herter Sees Red Bios
For Ghono President

President Eisenhower had a
friendly talk only Thursday,
declared he was surprised at
Mr.. Herter's remark and had
not expected such a statement
from him.
Their exchange had to do
with a speech Mr.. Nkrumah
made to the U. N. General As
sembly yesterday morning, just
before Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev.
Mr.. Herter heard both men,
went to a luncheon Of the
Foreign Press Association at a
New York hotel and said Mr..
Nkrumah sounded to me as
though he were making a bid
for leadership of what you
might call a left-wing group of
African states"
Replying to a request for
comment on Mr.. Nkrumah's
speech, Mr.. Herter said:
HE, I think, went out of his
way from the point of view of
showing a very close relation
ship to what Mr.. Khrushchev
said in the following speech,
Whether it was intentional
or not, whether it was pre-
arranged or not, I do not know.
But I think he has marked
himself as very definitely lean
ing toward the Soviet bloc"
Late yesterday, Mr.. Nkrumah
issued a rejoinder through his
press secretary, Yaw Eduful.
He said:
Il am surprised to hear of
Mr.. Herter's remark. 1 did
not expect that Mr.. Herter
would reach such a conclusion.
He was the last person from
whom I would have expected
such a remark.
II thought that Mr.. Herter
understood the Africans view
point on these matters. This
is only a reiteration of what I
have been saying for the last
10 years, and the situation in
the Congo has proved me
right"

Mckinley Techs Interhigh
football season started this sea-

much to the Trainers dismay.
In 1859, the Trainers lost
their final game to Phelps, 20.
Yesterday Phelps and Tech
opened their league season
with an Interhigh East Divi-
sion game at Tech, and Phelps
again won by a 20 score.
Phelps has won three straight.
The safety came in the third
quarter. when Fullback Billy
Clark was forced out of the
end zone by End Earl Spears
and Center Raymond Bundy of
Phelps. Clark was attempting
to punt from his own end zone
on fourth down, but the pass
from center was low, and he
stepped out of bounds trying
to avoid tacklers.

Mr.. President,

Mr.. President,
I rise in right of reply to the
Soviet Union on behalf Of and
with the authorization of the
Secretary Of State (Herter).
The United Nations is in a
crisis. 1t is in a crisis first
through the effort of the Soviet
Union to turn the worlds
greatest body for peace into a
propaganda forum to serve the
interests of Communist i'm
perialiSm.
The Soviet Union has, I am
sorry to say, chosen the path
of invective and falsehood in
stead of the path of construc-
tive progress outlined in the
speech of President Eisenhower.
The response of the United
States will be VIGOROUS, brief
and straightforward. Let there
be no mistake that it was the
Soviet Union which injected
into this assembly an atmos-
phere of dissension and vindic-
tiveness.
Red Veto Recalled
Chairman Khrushchev has
accused the United States oi
aggressive acts against the So
Wet Union and has demanded
they be discussed Immediately
in plenary session. The Soviet
Union itself vetoed our offer OF
an impartial investigation OF
the wanton destruction of the
RB47 over international wa
ters. The Soviet charges are
false and they are not made in
good faith. They should not
be on our agenda in the frs
place. We will oppose the de-
bate that the USSR wishes
to have in plenary session or
these subjects, although we viii
never object to having the truth
brought out in the proper com.
mittee forum, as we will dem
onstrate in the general commit
tee deliberations soon to come
Chairman Khrushchev &C
cuses the United States, the
United Kingdom, France, Italy
and Canada of having "in-
dulged in nothing but mean
ingless talk" about disarma-
ment in the 10-member COM
mittee. Let us leave it to the
verbatims of those talks as to
whether his charge is correct
and let us remember that it
was the Soviet Union which
walked out of these talks at the
very moment when it was told
that new Western proposals
were about to be submitted
This is not the first time that
the USSR has walked out
on disarmament negotiations.
The same Soviet delegate-Mr
zorin-walked out on the dis
armament negotiations in Lon
don in 1857, Immediately after
new Western proposals had
been put forward.
Let the United States atti-
tude in this. Mr.. President, not
be construed as meaning that
we will not continue to try tc
get the USSR to negotiate seri.
ously even though we have
failed so far. But we will not
and cannot, and should not
tolerate disarmament being
made into a sheer propaganda
