Truman Wants w To Acquaint
Soviets with Peace Aims’
Walters Aggies
(Continued from Page 1)
Mr. Timm an sent it to Shvernik
With a plea that' he “acquaint the
Soviet people with the peace aims
of the American people and gov
ernment.”
No Soviet radio or publication
has yet carried the text of the
American resolution, as far as can
be learned, the State Department
said.
President Truman received
Shvernik’s message Monday af
ternoon and immediately instructed
the State Department to make pub
lic the Soviet resolution at once.
Worked Overtime
State Department translators
and officials worked overtime to
night to make it available to re
porters, page by page. Officials
said it would run about 2,500
words.
The resolution adopted by the
Eussian presidum (parliament)
said the Eussian people can not
understand why the U. S. govern
ment has rejected previous sug
gestions “for the conclusipn of a
peace pact between the five pow
ers.”
The Eussian government, it said,
has proposed such a move twice.
Peace-loving peoples throughout
the world, it claimed, have given
“support and approval” to the
idea of such a pact.
The resolution maintained that
Eussia has made repeated pro
posals for the settlement of the
Korean war and generally has tak
en the lead in. trying to end the
cold war.
The United States has proposed
a meeting in Washington this year
of the “big four” foreign minis
ters—the U. S., Eussia, England
and France—to try to ease East-
west tension. But a meeting of
deputies in Paris failed to agree
on an agenda.
The U. S. has left open an in
vitation to join in such talks.
“No Aggressive Plans”
The Soviet resolution said: “The
Soviet Union has no aggressive
plans and does not threaten any
country or any people.
“The armed forces of the Soviet
Violinist Plays
At Lion’s Meeting
Members of the College Sta
tion Lion’s Club were entertained
yesterday by Mrs. John W. Hill as
she played sevei’al violin numbers
for the luncheon meeting in the
MSC.
Accompanied by Mrs. A. B. Med-
len on the piano, Mrs. Hill offered
the following renditions: “Play
Fiddle Play,” “Trees,” “From the
Canebreak,” and “Sylvia.”
L. E. McCall, club vice-presi
dent, presided in the absence of
president Dr. A. A. Price.
Union are not waging war any
where and are not taking part in
any military action. The peoples
of the Soviet Union are completely
absorbed in executing the tasks of
peaceful construction.”
In his letter to Mr. Truman,
Shvernik said “the Soviet people
has no basis for doubting that the
American people do not want war.”
The Eussian president said the
Soviet resolution “expresses the
feelings of sincere friendship of
the peoples of the Soviet Union
toward the peoples of the whole
world. It speaks of the fact that
the Soviet people is unified in its
attempts to establish a stable peace
and to eliminate the threat of a
new war.”
Plugging the idea of a five
power treaty, Shvernik said:
“Such a pact would raise the
confidence of all peoples in the
preservation of peace and, more
over, would permit the possibility
of limiting armaments, of lighten
ing the burden of military expendi
tures, which lie with all their
heaviness on the people’s should
ers.”
Previous Efforts Blocked
Previous efforts in the United
Nations and elsewhere to reduce
world armaments and control
atomic energy have been blocked
by Eussian refusal to permit inter
national inspection of the aims
production and storehouses.
The paragraph in which Shver
nik’s letter today first mentioned
the idea of a five-power pact read
as follows:
“The duty of all peace-loving
people consists in steadfastly
carrying on a policy of war pre
vention and preservation of peace,
of not permitting arms races, of
obtaining limitations of armaments
and the prohibition of atomic
Aggies Plan Games
With M’ville, Cause
Two games are o ntap for the
Aggie Softballers this week. To
night, they tangle with the Mad-
isonville All-Stars at Madisonville
and Thursday night they play
Cause under the lights of the
lighted diamond.
Bryan Beard will oppose B. J.
Lloyd tonight and will also pitch
against Cause Thursday. The
Cause hurler was not available
this morning.
Tonight’s match with Madison
ville will be the rubber game for
this year as the two teams have
met six times previously with the
Ags winning all three games
played here and Madisonville
champs three times at Madison
ville.
The game with Cause will be the
second with that outfit this year,
the Aggies having been defeated
by them in a tournament earlier
this summer.

weapons with the establishment of
inspection over the implementation
of such a prohibition and of co
operating in the conclusion of a
five-power pact for the strengthen
ing of peace.”
Nowhere did Shvernik mention
the United Nations as a device for
maintaining world peace.
The state department has con
sistently taken the line that all
“peace talks” must be carried
out within the U. N. It also has
insisted that it will not enter an
agreement which involves other
nations without their being rep
resented at the conference table
too.
Shvernik’s letter called for “the
elimination of any discrimination
with regard to the Soviet Union
on the part of the American
authorities.” He did not elaborate
as to the “discrimination” he had
in mind. But he said, his pro
posal would be “a most important
step” on the road toward peace.
Shares Opinion
“I share your opinion that a de
sire for peace and brotherhood
exists in the hearts of a majority
of people,” he said adding:
“Therefore, governments which
not with words but with deeds are
striving to support peace must en
courage by every means the peace
ful strivings of their people.”
The Soviet government, be con
tended, “hospitably receives” peace
communications from any country.
This obviously was a reference to
President Truman’s move in send
ing the peace resolution passed by
the American congress.
Shvernik put other familiar pro
paganda punches in his letter. The
Soviet people, he said, “know
well that there exists in some
states forces which are striving to
unleash a new world war.” He
did not name these alleged war
mongers but said they are seek
ing new conflicts as a “source of
their own enrichment.”
He added: “The peoples of the
Soviet Union believe that there
will be no war if the people take
into their own hands preservation
of peace and defend it to the end,
unmasking the attempts of those
forces which have interests in war
and which are trying to draw the
people into another war.”

Brickmen Prolong
Protest Walk-out
Two weeks have elapsed since
the eight bricklayers employed by
Fisher Construction Company of
Houston walked out leaving work
on the main stairway and in the
basement of the new Administra
tion Building incompleted.
Oscar E. Telg, construction engi
neer said the workers could be ab
sent another month and a half
without seriously affecting the
scheduled work period.
The bricklayers, who are pres
ently receiving $2.87% per hour,
joined a 17 county protest strike
against the Wage Stablization
Board’s delay in acting on a
union’s request for a 15-cent an
hour wage increase. The brick
layers are now seeking a 25-cent
an hour raise.
Although the WSB took up the
bricklayers case two weeks ago to
day, no action has been reported.
Clean-up Drive
Success Says Baty
Commenting on the, community
wide clean-up campaign for Col
lege Station which ended Saturday,
J. B. Baty, public health chairman
for the Chamber of Commerce and
Development Association said all

fine order.
During the drive, city tracks
picked up 25 loads of trash and
rubbish weighing around 100 tons,
according to L. P. Dulaney, utilities
supervisor.
The clean-up drive is an annual
affair sponsored by the City of
College Station and the Chamber
of Commerce and Development As
sociation.

Red’s Apology Not
Enough--Ridgway
Tokyo, Aug. 7—69?)—Gen. Mat
thew S. Ridgway told the Reds
today Korean cease-fire talks will
not be resumed until they assure
him they will keep their Kaesong
neutrality agreement.
The Allied supreme commander
acknowledged the Red apology for
last Saturday’s violation of the
neutral zone. Then he told them
that wasn’t enough.
Strongly-Worded Message
In a strongly worded message
to the two Red commanders in
Korea, Ridgway said he needed
new assurances that Communists
will keep their word.
Only then, he said, will he send
his five negotiators back to Kae
song to resume negotiations.
Ridgway, who has twice brok
en off talks because armed Red
troops violated the neutral area,
said he didn’t think the appearance
of a company of heavily armed
Keane Needs
500 Pounds
To Win Bet
Harlingen, Tex. Aug. 7—(A*)—It
looked today like Ed (Boll Wee
vil) Keane would win his bet.
He picked 229 pounds of cotton
in 11 hours and 20 minutes Mon
day. Now he needs less than 500
pounds to complete the 1,450-pound
bale he boasted he could pluck in
a week.
He’s got three more days to
pick the 500 pounds.
His four day total is 1,005
pounds.
Rain which kept the flippant
disc jockey from the fields three
days last week was termed an
“act of God” by contest judges.
They allowed him three extra days.
Onlookers today tried to speed
Keane up by reminding him the
winner of a cotton picking con
test in nearby San Benito Satur
day picked 97 pounds in 90 min
utes.
“A steady pull for the long haul
is the gait for me,” he puffed in
Texas’ sizzling weather.
The slender mass of sore muscles
picked 129 pounds by noon Monday
in his fifth day in the field. Sat
urday he picked 141 pounds.
Keane is trying to prove a boast
made over coffee to a group of
valley cotton people. If he wins he
will get more than $2,000 in prizes.

Communists last Saturday was an
“accident,” as the Reds .stated.
He told Korean Gen. Kim II
Sung and Chinese Gen. Peng Teh-
Huai “it must be clearly under
stood that my acceptance of a re
sumption of the armistice talks
is conditional on complete compli
ance with your guarantees of neu
tralization of the Kaesong area.
Any further failure in this regard
will he interpreted as a deliberate
move on your part to terminate
the armistice negotiations.
“I await your acceptance of this
condition.”
Marched Through Kaesong
A company of armed Red sol
diers had marched through the
Kaesong neutral zone while the
armistice conference was under
way Saturday. Because of this,
Ridgway abruptly broke off the
conferences Sunday.
Generals Kim and Peng replied
Monday that the presence of t h e
troops was “a mistake and an acci
dent.”
Their joint statement, as broad
cast by the Chinese Peiping radio,
referred to it as “a small incident”
and accepted General Ridgway’s
conditions for resumption of the
talks.
Ridgway’s conditions were a
“satisfactory explanation of this
violation and assurance of non
recurrence.”

Hot Story Puts Cold Slash A
In Prices of Anti-Freeze
In a move that should warm the cockles of any motorist’s
heart, the Office of Price Stabilization has issued a hot news
story on a chilly subject:
The price of anti-freeze has been frozen.
Smack in the middle of 100-degree, plus, weather, the
Houston district OPS has announced that dollars-and-cents
ceilings have been placed on three standard types of anti
freeze. The new ceilings apply to retail sales and sales to re
tail dealers.
Details of the new regulation, which went into effect
August 6 in all the sweltering 38 Southeast Texas counties
of the Houston OPS district, are given in Ceiling Price Regu
lation 57.
Net result of the anti-freeze is that the motorist now
(in August) pays the same price for his car’s anti-freeze as
he did on January 26, 1951.
The new regulation also provides that if good ol’ Joe
down at the gas station filled the radiator with anti-freeze
for you last January, he can fill it again now—but can’t
charge extra for the service. The fill-up service is under the
retail ceiling price regulation, too.
That news should add an extra fillup to your purchase of
frozen anti-freeze in August.
Little American League
Flag Goes to 7-Up Tiger:
The Seven-Up Tigers are the
winners of the Little Ameincan
League pennant by virtue of their
win Saturday afternoon from the
South Side Food Market Red Sox,
7-5.
Gordon Gregg received credit
for the win Saturday, his second
decision in three days as the also
gained credit for the first game of
the two-out-of-three series on.
Thursday afternoon.
Gregg pitched five innings of
the Saturday tilt with Joe Cam-
pise playing fireman in the sixth.
The two hurlers allowed eight hits,
the same number the Tigers got off
two Sox hurlers, Bobby Potts and
Wayne Thompson. ,
Potts, who went five innings,
was the loser as the Bengals went
ahead 3-0 in the fourth only to see
the Sox tally five in the fifth to go
in the lead 5-3.
The Tigers were not to he
denied though, as they roared hack
with four more in the ■'bottom of
the fifth to put the game on ice
and gain the right to meet the
Conway Phillies in the Little
League World Series.
Friday afternoon the two teams
battled to a 15-15 draw back that
was called at the end of the fifth
because of darknesss. The Red
Sox had a 15-6 lead after four in
nings but the Bengals roared back
to tie up the game and cause the
two teams to have to play again
Saturday.
Campise, as usual, was instru
mental in all his teams wins with
his extraordinary hitting and
pitching.
