Page '4 THE BATTALION ' TUESDAY, JULY 24,1951 Ff Willing Europe Washington, July 24—<JP)—Sen ators agreed today Western Eur ope has revived the will to fight but still sadly lacks adequate de fenses against possible Russian at tack. A cross-section of views of a group which toured Europe seemed to indicate a much more favorable reception for the administration’s proposed $8,500,000,000 foreign military and economic aid program than was evident before. Essential Amount Senator Hickenlooper (R-Iowa) told reporters Gen. Dwight D. Eis enhower told Foreign Relations Committee members in Paris he regards the full amount as “es sential” if the program of rearm ing Western Europe is to be push ed ahead. Saying that Eisenhower urged speed in providing equipment, Hickenlooper said he personally favors producing guns, planes and other equipmment as swiftly as possible. He said Eisenhower has com mitments for 60 defense divisions, to Fight But Lacks Defense hut can’t bring them into being any faster than arms are available for them. Chairman Connally (D-Tex) an nounced the Senate Foreign Re lations Committee will begin hear ings on the proposed big aid pro gram Thursday, with Secretary of State Acheson as its first witness. Secretary of Defense Marshall will follow him the next day. Hearings have been in progress in the House for several weeks. Useful Trip Connally told a reporter his talks with seven of the nine committee members who conferred with Eis enhower at the North Atlantic De fense Commander’s Headquarters and who visited seven countries, in dicated the trip would be “very useful and helpful.” Senator H. Alexander Smith (R- NJ) said he still is studying a move to spread the proposed $8,- 500,000,000 outlay over two years instead of one. And Senator Russell (D-Ga) said in a separate interview that about half of the $6,000,000,000 Congress Navasota Tourney Pits Ags vs Bryan Team Barney Welch’e Aggie Softball- ters will tangle with the Cargill and Emola Service Station nine in the second game of a double- header at 9:30 tonight at Navasota. The occasion is the Navasota Open Softball Tournament spon- Boder by the Navasota Recreational Council. Eight teams, including the Aggies are entered. The first game of the tourney tonight will pit Nedbaleks Service Station against New Waverly at 8 p. m. Other teams in the tournament are Racoon Bend, Davis Auto of Bryan, Navasota and Howell Lum ber Company of Bryan. The winner of the Aggie-Car- gill & Emola fracas will play the winner of the Nedbalek-New Wav erly contest at 9:30 Thursday night while the losers will tangle at 9:30 Friday night. In the top bracket, the winner of the Racoon Bend-Davis go will meet the winner of the Navasota- Howell scrape at 8 p. m. Thursday while the losers will contest each other at 8 p. m. Friday. Finals are scheduled for 8 p. m. Saturday night. Welch, when contacted last night, thought the Aggies chances would be very good “if the team plays the kind of ball they are capable of playing.” Bryan Beard, mainstay of the Aggies will hurl all the Aggie games, Welch said.

Russell is chairman of the Sen ate Armed Services Committee. The group may sit in on the hearings held by Connally’s Foreign Rela tions Committee. Comments on People Senator Sparkman (D-Ala) said the people of the countries visited showed they have “got a new hold on themselves, both civilian and military.” Senator Brewster (R-Me) said there is a “long road ahead” before Western Europe will have adequate defenses, but he believes the peo ple there have “new faith in them selves.” He said Western Europe looks to Eisenhower as “the in dispensable man.” Most of the touring senators ap proved American efforts for an agreement with Spain for U. S. military and air bases there. Most of the group also approved of reported efforts to organize a single Western European army — with one command, one uniform and one flag. Smith said he was told the six American divisions pledged to Eis enhower’s forces all will be sta tioned in Western Germany. He said he also was assured that no more U. S. troops will he reques ted for Europe’s defenses. Funds Depleted Hospital Committee Is Broke The Brazos County Hospitaliza tion Committee, after 20 years of handling hundreds of charity hos pital cases is broke, according to Daniel Russell, committee chair man. One thousand, seven hundred and fifty dollars is needed to replace the amount which in the past was contributed through the Bryan Community Chest. This year the Bryan Chest was disbanded and the committee faces a severe short age of funds. “Every penny,” Russell said will go to charity work. Doctors donate their services and local hospitals receive 75 percent of the cost of ward room, operating room, labor- artory services, medicine, and ban dages. “One of our principal aims is to help county residents who are will ing to work but who are sick and can’t get well so they can take care of themselves without burdening welfare agencies,” Russell said. “Two other aims of the committee are to save human lives and to re lieve human suffering.” Donations to the Brazos County Hospitalization committee fund may be left at the College Station State Bank. In addition, to Russell, the com mittee is composed of W. D. Burley, and Mrs. Charles Meyers. Giants, Tribe Win CS League Tilts Co-manager Les Richardson scored the winning and only run of yesterday’s contest between the Giants and Tigers in a, College Station Softball League game as the Giants won 1-0. Richardson got on on a hit in the ninth inning and advanced to third on two infield outs. He scored when Ed Andrew drilled a ball to the Tiger shortstop who tossed to first. The ball was hob bled by the firstbaseman letting Richardson tally the only score of the game. Sarg White was the winning hurler and Newt Williamson suf fered the setback. In the other game in league play yesterday, K. A. Manning’s Pi rates tripped Hank Mills’ Indians 8-5. Adams was winner and Welch loser. Two games are on tap for to morrow afternoon at 5:45 with the Indians and the Giants meeting forces at College Hills and the Tigers and Pirates tangling at College Park.

By every conceivable type of false propaganda, the Commun ist leaders will attempt to twist the situation to make it appear that the Reds have won a victory in Korea. There is no doubt that the Russians will continue to ach ieve world domination through oth er Koreas whenever they see the opportunity. But, I feel that from the beating Communist forces took as a result of their Korean venture, they will not jump blindly into anything like that again, figuring that the free nations of the world will not take forceful and prompt action to maintain freedom wherever it ex ists today.

Mrs. David Alexand er of Bryan is District Supervisor for CROP. County Agents Cooperating County Agents are also cooper ating with CROP in an effort to collect the Texas shipload of food and fiber by Thanksgiving. In the Panhandle 26 counties of fered to raise 40,000 bushels of wheat or the equivalent of that in money. They accepted this goal even though they do not have any wheat in the fields this year. As one farmer stated “we do not have any wheat but we have grain in the elevators and money in our pockets.” Many individuals have given CROP a carload of wheat, rice, or other needed foods. If Texas raises its quota, it will lead the nation in CROP contributions. Texas Governor, Allan Shjvers, who serves as honorary chairman, recently wrote: . CROP to me represents a fine example of Christianity in action. It is a pleasure to serve as honor ary chairman of the Texas CROP committee—particularly do I wish to thank the rural people of Texas who through a generous spirit of human compassion have made pos sible the substantial contributions. Body of Sherman On Way to U. S. Naples, July 24—(A 1 )—The bpdy of Admiral Forrest P. Sherman, whose 33-year Navy career began and ended in the Mediterranean, starts home today. Officers and men of the U. S. Navy here will bow their heads in prayer before the flag-covered casket of the U. S. Chief of Naval Operations. Sherman, the first career airman to be Navy chief, will be airborne for the last time tomorrow. A Navy plane will take his body to Wash ington where President Truman and the admiral’s fellow country men wait to pay him final tribute. Died Sunday The 54-year-old admiral, who fought through two world wars, died of a heart attack Sunday in Naples. A few days before, in the role of diplomat, he had negotiated for U. S. sea and air bases in Franco Spain. He was ready to take off for Washington via Mad rid, when he was stricken. President Truman is expected to move cautiously in picking a new chief of naval operations. Top men in the armed services say he wants to avoid a renewal of the old Navy-Air Force squab ble-over fund allotments and bomb er missions that preceded the 1949 appointment of Admiral Sherman. The President was described by Democratic leaders toda,y as “de spondent over the loss of Admiral Sherman.” At his weekly confer ence with the congressional chief- tians he reviewed Sherman’s long career and paid him warm tribute. Later, he eulogized Sherman in a talk with retiring secretary of the Navy Francis P. Matthews, who will leave soon for his new post as ambassador to Ireland. Matthews said it will be up to his successor, Dan A. Kimball, awaiting Senate confirmation, to Former Student Assigned to BAFB Maj. Robert R. Caldwell of Lock hart, a former A&M student, has been assigned to Bryan Air Force Base, announced Col. James G. McGehee, BAFB commander. Maj. Caldwell, a veterinary med icine student at A&M since 1948, will become the Deputy for Supply at BAFB. Commissioned in 1943, Maj. Cald well was sent to England with the Eighth Air Force as a combat pilot of a B-24 heavy bomber. Be fore completing his tour of duty, Maj. Caldwell received the Disting uished Flying Cross with two oak leaf clusters and the Air Medal with four oak leaf clusters. He was recalled to active duty in Feb. of this year and was as signed to Randolph Air Force Base where he was assistant Deputy for Supply until ordered to Bryan. recommend a successor to Sherman. Kimball is now Navy undersecre tary. Leaders in both Houses inter- rapted debates to praise Shennan. In the Senate, Democratic leader McFarland (Ariz.) called him a “military genius” who performed, a great sendee to his country. Speculatiion For Replacement Speculation over a new chief of naval operations dwelt mainly on the Navy’s four full admirals, al though it was said the President could go outside this group. The four are: Admirals Lynde D. McCormick, now acting chief and a former sub marine specialist; Arthur W. Rad ford, commander of the Pacific fleet and, like Sherman, a carrier man; William M. Fechteler, com mander of the Atlantic fleet, and Robert B. Carney, chief of U. S. naval forces in the Eastern Atlan tic and Mediterranean. ^ Meanwhile, Florida House mem bers said the President has .picked Francis P. Whitehair, of Deland, Fla., as undersecretary of the Navy to succeed Kimball. The foi^Mt appointment will await Kiml^^B confirmation as secretary. Ex-Student Sent To California Base First Lt. Billy N. Banister, as sistant air installations officer at Randolph Air Force Base, is sche duled to report August 8 at Camp Stoneman, California, headquar ters for the 2349th Personal Pro cessing Group and overseas re placement depot. Lt. Banister, commissioned in 1944, served with the 15th Air Force in Italy during World War IT. Discharged in 1946, he resumed his education at A&M, graduating in January, 1949, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engin eering. Time in- } w —iW S EVERY MONDAY KORA 8:00 P.M.
