Page 4 THE BATTALION Wednesday, March 12, 1952 Taft Speaks In Dallas Dallas, March 12 —(JP)— Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-O) reached for an old Assyrian proverb last night to describe what he termed the “weakness of our country”—the Truman- administration. “Better an army of goats led by a lion than an army of lions led by a goat,” he said. The Ohio senator tore into the administration’s foreign policy— particularly in Asia—in a speech prepared for delivery last night. “Stalin is no goat!” Taft said. “To conquer all Asia has been Stalin’s primary objective since 1945. In my opinion it still is.” “Is it impossible to expect com mon sense in our national adminis tration until Acheson is thrown out of the department of State,” he said, “and Truman thrown out of the White House?” He charged: “The sti'ength of our country to day lies in the high quality of the ordinary citizen at the bottom. The weakness of our country lies in the lack of judgment of the people at the top.” Attacks Truman Policy Taft’s attack on the Asiatic pol icy of the Truman administration was most pointed of the dozen talks he has made since opening $oU) Every Monday KORA 8:00 P.M. American Laundry & Dry Cleaners a three day tour of Texas at Hous ton Monday. Earlier today he had made clear he would oppose state hood for’ Alaska now but is ready to admit Hawaii to the union. He said at the end of World War II Russia did not dare risk war with the U. S.; that it had no atomic bomb, no long-range bomb er. “Stalin knew that we would pro bably act to defend Western Eu rope against Soviet attack, but that he might perhaps be able to trick our government into per mitting him to conquer Asia,” Taft said. “He, therefore, built a bastion of satellite states to protect his European rear - , and set out to conquer China—which was, and is, the key to all Asia.” Taft said that Russian generals helped direct the strategy of Chin ese Communists, that Russia sup plied these Communists with Jap anese arms captured in Manchur ia. “He used psychological warfare in Washington to whitewash the Chinese Communists and blacken the Chinese National govern ment.” What’s Cooking BRAZORIA COUNTY CLUB: Thursday, 7:30 p. m., Room 3-C MSC.

IS*S “Today Communists control all the Chinese mainland except those isolated areas where hundreds of thousands of Nationalists guerril las are still maintaining a lonely and desperate resistance. And as first fruits of our government’s folly in failing to protect our vital interest in an independent and friendly China, we have gathered more than 106,000 casualties in Korea. Blood (Continued from Page 1) After a person has donated blood, he is required to rast for at least ten minute^. While waiting for dismissal, he is served coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies. Bibb Underwood, seniom from Mesquite and co-editor -of the Ag- gieland, paused while drinking a cup of coffee, to explain Ms spec ial reason for’ giving blood. “I gave my blood to the Red Cross to keep those guys who are hollering for their Aggieland from getting it.” Underwood refused to say if his giving a pint of blood would hinder the production of this year’s an nual. Jack and James Collins, identical twins from Hitchcock added a slight confusion to yesterday’s ac tivities when they appeared for their donation. “It was the strangest thing I ever saw, commented Mrs. Maceo Falco, voluntary registered nurse from Bryan. “When you would fin ish with one, the other would pop up and you didn’t know which one you had treated and which you hadn’t. On top of that they denied being related or even knowing each other.” David Wolf, senior insurance major from San Antonio, wondei’- ed, “Why isn’t everyone over there?” Wolf expressed the im portance of giving blood when he said, “You may be donating it now, but you might be getting it back later somewhere in Korea.” Who? ra HS Day (Continued from Page 1) White says that he has receiv ed word from Denton that he may expect 50 students from that high school, which is the largest num ber yet expected from any single high school. He says also that of the 500 students attending High School Day last year, 57 per cent were enrolled in A&M at mid-term of this year. Barlow Irvin, director of athle tics, says that approximately 150 prospective athletes will be on the campus for Sports Day as guests of the athletic department. Of these, around 105 will be high school football stars who are con sidering coming to A&M. Housing Arranged Those boys who have been in vited by the athletic department will be housed in Hart and Leggett Halls and will eat in the athletic portion of Sbisa mess hall. Saturday afternoon the entire visiting delegation will be the guests of the “T” Association for the annual Sports Day activities. Beginning at 2:30 p. m. an ath letic program consisting of tennis, baseball, track, swimming, and golf will get underway. A&M’s 1952 football squad will stage an intra-squad game at 7:30 p. m. to conclude the day’s sports activ ities. Gardenial To Coach (Continued from Page 3) conclude with a Maroons vs. Whites intra-squacl game on Kyle Field at 7:30 p. m. Gardemal Named Coach Dick Gardemal, A&M quarterback for the last three years has been named backfield coach and head basketball coach at Kirwin High School in Galveston. He will assume his duties September 1. Ending his football career against TU, Gardemal led the Aggies in their 22-21 upset victory over the highly-favored Longhorns. Hillhouse, All-American Andy Hillhouse, Aggie’ all southwest conference end in 1950, was named to the All-America Service football team this year. Hillhouse is stationed in Camp Polk, Louisiana and was a member of the Camp Polk eleven. While at A&M, he was famous for his pass catching ability as well as defen sive ability on the gridiron. Basketball Practice Scheduled Spring basketball workouts will get underway for the Aggie March 29 and will continue through April. The 1952 outlook seems bright and the spring sessions should be an indication of what the Aggies can expect next year. TRADE that old Refrigerator today for a new SHELYADOR at JOE FAULK’S Lacks.
