The fastest animal on land is
the cheetah, which can speed
at the rate Of IS miles per hour

In the air, the hawk and the

RICHMOND. Feb. II. -
House Majority Leader Albert
told Virginia Democrats tonight
that the military strength OF
the United States" has practi-
cally doubled" in the l3 months
since President Kennedy took
office.
Speaking before more than
1000 Virginia Democrats at a
Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner,
the administration spokesman
also claimed, 1--WE have five
times the atomic capability
than the Russians. We are
stronger. NATO is stronger and
ther are signs of weakness be-
hind the Iron Curtain"
He added that "this is still
a mighty sick world and the
Russians are still a mighty
military giant. We still have to
support the largest military
establishment in our peacetime
history and there is no end
in sight"
The majority Leader turned
to political philosophy in talk
ing to the predominantly con-
servative- minded audience with

ernor Harrison and Congress

one major piece of legislation
enacted during the Roosevelt
Truman years, Mr.. Albert said
both political parties are big
enough to embrace all shades
of governmental philosophy.
He added:
II don't think you can create
in this country a conservative
and a liberal party. If we over
started dividing the people of
this country into two political

the two-party system and

"You tell those people down

four new traffic lights as a
lever to force center owners to
do something about in-center
traffic movement and beautifi-
cation of the area. "It's black

going to put lights in until we
hear something definite from

Compassionate problems are
not concerned with landscaping
but with traffic. He said, "the
