For Losing Race By The Associated Press MOSCOW, Nov. 6 <d?) — Nikita Khrushchev and Mao Tze-tung, the two top men in world communism, made a double-barreled attack to day on the United States gibing at its lag on launching Sputniks and accusing it of plotting trouble all over the world. Khrushchev, the Soviet party boss, and Mao, the master of Red China, spoke from the same plat form before 17,000 delegates, here from 60 nations to mark the 40th anniversary of the Bolshevik Rev olution. Both predicted an inevitable vic tory of communism over capital- Walter T. Coleman, general chairman of the union, said the telegram to Johnson was unani mously endorsed by the 14-man board. The telegram said the union Would like to present their side of the case “to the Senate Armed Services Committee which is in vestigating the lag in the U.

BLACK MILITARY BUCKLE SHOES Just Arrived At COURT'S SHOES SHOE REPAIR North Gate PINECASTLE AIR FORCE BASE, Fla., <A>>—The Strategic Air Command said today its crews know exactly — or almost exactly —what every potential target in Russia would look like. That is, they know how it would look as viewed by radar from a bomber eight or nine miles up. Some of the secrecy about the constantly improving atomic bomb ing capability of the Air Force was stripped away at SAC’s annual bombing, navigation and reconnai- sance competition conducted here and at Carswell Air Force Base, Tex., during the past six days. Another disclosure was that the SAC does most of its bombing by offset-by deliberately aiming at a point a known distance away from the target. At a ceremony here this after noon, Lt. Gen. Francis Griswold, deputy commander of SAC pre sented 21 trophies to the winners among the 90 crews from 45 wings —tops among all the bomber crews in SAC and the British Royal Air Force-that took part. Crew members talked in guarded terms about the offset bombing technique, and more freely about radar studies of possible targets in Russia. They were able to talk on the basis of recent declassifi cation of some of this information. Presumably the material has been made public not only because it probably already has become known to the Communists but be cause the United States wants the Soviets to know for sure that armed aggression by the Rfeds would bring swift nuclear retalia tion. ism. Both proclaimed a desire for world peace. Khrushchev _ proposed a world summit conference to rule out the possibility of another big war. He said the enormous devastation of such a war would be the death of capitalism and he made a plea for an understanding especially with the United States on disarm ament. He predicted the Soviet Union would beat the United States at its own game and surpass it in in dustrial production in 15 years. He again charged that the United : States was inciting Turkey and Israel to attack Syria. Mao, who received a huge ova tion, praised Soviet “firsts,” in cluding the earth satellites, and hailed as wise the political meas ures of the Soviet Communist party from the de-Stalinzation pro gram down to the ouster of Mar shal Georgi Zhukov. Khrushchev’s three-hour speech was filled with taunts at the (United States. The launching of Sputnik I and of. Sputnik IT, he said, “struck fear and confusion into the camp of the enemies of communism.” “Our Sputniks are going around and around the world waiting for the American Sputniks to come up and join them.” And now, he added, the Ameri cans are pretending they never were in a race with the Soviet Un ion. “A new war would produce enormous devastation,” he said later. “We are convinced that as a result of a new war, the capitalist order will perish. However, we Communists are not striving to victory by such a path.” TEe Battalion College Elation (Bra&m CounfyJ, Texas Thursday, November 7, 1957 * ( PAGE 3 180 At Electrical Metermen’s Meet Ags Attend 4 Y’ Sectional Retreat “This Year’s Leaders, YOU” was the topic of the YMCA-YWCA South Texas sectional retreat at tended by 34 Aggies last weekend at Camp Holden, Tex.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., (AP) —The Army announced yes terday it would remove half of th^ federal troops and Na tional Guardsmen enforcing school intergration here. The announcement came a few hours after Little Rock voters had narrowly rejected a pro-segrega tion city government. There was no indication that the voting influenced the Army’s de cision to make its second troop re duction but it was announced just a few hours after a moderate group known as the Good Government Committee candidates won control of the city government. The Army said its decision to pull out about 275 of its 500 reg-“* ulars and defederalize about 900 of 1,800 National Guardsmen will be carried out forthwith because of “the steady improvement in community stability noted current ly in Little Rock.” An Army spokesman said he ex pected that the regular troop re duction would be effected before the end of this week. Gov. Orval Faubus who main tains Little Rock will remain “an occupied city as long as one fed eral soldier remains” commented: “They ought to go ahead and remove the rest of them. I think they would have long before now if they had had a graceful way to do it.” Integration at Central High School, which exploded with viol ence that reverberated internation ally, is now in its seventh week but quiet. , At the height of the integration turmoil, the Army had well over 1,000 regular troops of the 101st Airborne Division from Ft. Camp bell, Ky., and federalized 10,500 Arkansas National Guardsmen. The regular Army force was halved Oct. 14 after the integra tion process became routine at Central High School.
