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,

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

voted for foreign and last year still
remains uncommitted. He said it
could be used as a cushion if the
new fund is cut, as he has pro
posed.
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.

All the comforts of home! That’s what the boys

their six-weeks training there (according to the

Even though every condition out
lined above is satisfied in an ar
mistice, I am not being unrealistic
about our future relationship with
Russia. 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.

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.
