Funds are needed to finish
out this years season. . . The

some of these uniforms were
purchased at the request of
some local business firms,
who as yet have not paid for
them. To date, the Caval-

teams of Pony Grad; four
teams of Pony league; six
teams of Little League; some
246 boys that by participa-

OUR DEEP SYMPATHY
goes to the family of the late
CHARLES HUBBARD a
young man whom we have
known during his entire life.
We speak of Charles, not as a
newspaper woman but
as a mother, who in giving
Thanks To God for taking care
of our won son, can find pity
and compassion for one so
young can realize the
overwhelming grief that has
come to his mother, his aunts,
his brother and other rela-
tives. We offer a prayer for
this young man who is dead
before he had time to really
SYMPATHY is ALSO ex-
tended to our Elk Daughter
Ruler, L'DINA ROBINSON
who was called to New Or
leans this past week to attend
the funeral of a dearly below
ed aunt.
SYMPATHY ALSO goes to
Mrs. CLEO MOORE and fam
lily in the death of their moth
er.
THE REDDIX WANDER
POOL Wedding Saturday past
was truly "A thing of beauty"
and we sincerely hope for the
young couple, "A Joy for
ever" This column ex-
tends congratulations to the
handsome young groom and
best wishes for all that is
good and beautiful in life for
the lovely bride. SHIR-
LEY REDDIX' ultra fashion
able wedding, so perfect in ev-
cry detail, drew hundreds of
beautifully dressed women
and their correctly alfred es-
corts from all over the state
and thruout the country to the
campus of Jackson State Col

wait now for pictures and a
detailed account of the we'd

A Top Commander Retires

America and the free world have
lost an outstanding military leader and
defender Of the peace with the retire
ment at Norfolk today of Admiral
Jerauld Wright, veteran of two world
wars and the current cold war. "Jerry"
Wright, as his friends here and abroad
knew him, is relinquishing three i'm
portant commands Supreme Allied
Commander Atlantic of the North At
lantic Treaty Organization (NATO),
commander in chief of the Atlantic
Command, unified American group
Of Navy, Army and Air Force elements,
and commander in chief of the Atlantic
Fleet. In this triple role he has headed
powerful forces on which we and our
American and European allies have
relied to help keep the cold war from
becoming hot.
Admiral Wright, as he leaves active
service today, can look back on AZ
year career of varied, colorful and often
dangerous service in peace and war. AS
junior lieutenant he served with allied
antiSubmarine forces in World War I.
Between wars he had sea and land
aSSignmentS-the latter including tours
as Naval aide to Presidents Coolidge and
Hoover. Washington came to know him
we'll then. Early in World War II he
had the storybook assignment of landing
surreptitiously by submarine on the
North African coast with General Mark
Clark and others to make contact with
French resistance officers. He COM
manded a second submarine operation
which evacuated French General Giraud
and his staff from Southern France.
Later he participated in numerous as
Saults and landings on Japanese held
isles in the Pacific.
Recognized as an expert on am
phibiouS warfare and joint operations,
Admiral Wright was natural selection
in 1854 as Supreme Allied Commander
Atlantic. In this post he has commanded
the worlds first international navy"
composed of the Atlantic forces of all
the NATO powers. He has worked tire
lesSly and effectively to organize this
navy into co-ordinated, cooperative
defense fleet, ready for any emergency.
AS he turns his commands over to
another outstanding officer, Admiral
Robert L. Dennison, USN, we are glad to
learn that Jerry Wright plans to make
Washington his permanent home. We
hasten to welcome him back as friend
and neighbor.

Breach of Contract

Your excellent editorial,
Breach Of Contract" in my
opinion properly denounced
the killing by appropriations
action Of Capper-Cramton
funds with which Arlington.
Fairfax and other Washing
ton suburban counties could
receive assistance in the pur-
chasing Of park lands.
Representative Broyhill,
whose district includes Ar
lington and Fairfax Counties,
was a supporter if not ac-
tually a leader in the defeat
Of this long-established pro-
gram. Representative Broy-
hills position raises this inter-
eSting and perhaps pertinent
question: To the extent that
this action discourages the
acquisition of park lands by
Arlington and Fairfax Coun-
ties, won't it have the effect
Of assuring the availability
Of more land for bulldozer
exploitation by Northern Vir-
ginia real estate developers2

Not Taken for Granted

AS he moves into the second and
last week of his Latin American journey,
President Eisenhower, although he looks
tired and worn, has reason to feel more
than little bit satisfied. The tremen-
dous welcome accorded him in both
Brazil and Argentina may be viewed as
a personal triumph, but it is chiefly
significant as evidence that the peoples
Of those countries still regard the United
States as uniquely close friend. And in
his talks to them, as well as in his
conferences with their governmental
leaders, he has been at pains to en-
phaSize the strength and durability of
that friendship, and now he will do the
same in Chile, where he is currently
visiting, and in Uruguay, which will re-
ceive him on Wednesday.
This Is all to the good. In recent
years, az a result of misunderstanding
skillfully exploited by Communist agi-
tatorS, there has been a deterioration
in the traditionally warm relations
existing between us and our neighborS
to the south. Mr.. Eisenhower'S tour
judging from the effect it has had up
to now-iS clearing the air in a way
that promises to undo much of that
damage. At any rate, he has been par
ticularly effective in correcting the mis-
taken notion that the United States
takes the countries of Latin America
for granted and Is indifferent to their
problems and interested only in Europe
and Asia. This Of course, is not true.
In the Presidents words, our country,
while honoring its commitments out
side this hemisphere, is in no mood to
allow its special responsibilities among
the American states to go by default"
On the contrary, in addition to political,
cultural and other forms of cooperation,
1t stands ready to join in gigantic"
economic effort to carry out "vaSt con-
Structive programs Of peaceful develop
ment" in the Americas.
True, these are generalized words.
The President has not set forth specific
lines of action for dealing with the
problems that bedevil the economies Of
countries like Brazil, Argentina, Chile
and Uruguay; nor has he promised any
new outpouring Of large-scale economic
aid. But it may be assumed that he has
not been giving voice to mere empty
rhetoric, and our Latin American friends
undoubtedly will be waiting to see what
will result from his visit among them.
