ed at Mr.. Murray: Don't
confuse me with someone who
has a gun"
Don't you try to confuse me
or try to shout me down." Mr..
Murray shouted back. At that
point, Mr.. Roddewig recessed

the basic objective of the AFS

afford to entertain junior high
school students.
Students of the AFS program
are representatives of the Un-
tied States and not of a locality,
he said.
There are eighteen students
from the Delmarva Peninsula

and the objective is to get
twenty-five students abroad.
