Medaris, Gunewardenei THE - BATTALION Added to SCON A List WORTH Two names have been added to the list of speakers in the Fifth Conference on-National Affairs to be held in the Memorial Student Center Dec. 9-12. R. S. S. Gunewardene, Ambas sador of Ceylon to the United States, will be one of the princi pal speakers. The title of his speech will be “Coping with Crisis Areas in the Cold War”. Born on Nov. 3, 1899, at Matara in the south of Ceylon, Gunewar dene studied at St. Thomas’ Col lege, Colombo, and gained his Bachelor of Arts degree at London University in 1920. He was founder-member of the Ceylon National Congress which led the country through the path of constitutional development to ultimate independence in 1948. In 1937, he was elected to the State Council for the Gambola party. He served continuously on the State Council until 1947 when he was elected to the First Parlia ment of Independent Ceylon. Gune wardene was a minister of State in the First Cabinet, Chief Govern ment Whip and Chairman of the Committee on the Privileges un til 1949 when he was appointed by the Government as Chairman of the Board of Indigenous Medi cine. In 1952 he was appointed as Ceylon’s first minister to Rome. In 1952 he led the Ceylon dele gation to the annual assembly of the Food and Agriculture Organi zation (FAO) and was elected Vice-Chairman of the FAO Com mittee on Relations with Non- Governmental Organizations. Appointed Ceylon’s Ambassador to the United States in 1594, and concurrently Alternate Governor of the World Bank, the Ambassa dor took an active interest in the latter’s activities. Gunewardene was appointed ob server from Ceylon to the United Nations in 1955, and was specific ally charged with the responsibility of securing Ceylon’s admission to that body. In 1955 he was knighted for dis tinguished services by Queen Eliza beth of England. The same year he was also appointed head of the Ceylon delegation to the annual sessions of the World Health Or ganization held in Mexico City. The Ambassador was appointed Ceylon’s first high commissioner to Canada and his country’s first permanent representative to the United Nations, which post he held concurrently with that of Ambas sador to the United States. Gunewardene led both his coun try’s delegations to' the emergency sessions of the U. N. during the Suez crisis and the Hungary prob lem and was elected Vic'e-Chairman of the first main political commit tee. His efforts during the Suez Crisis were recognized by his elec tion to the seven-member Advis- ory Committee of the U. N. Emer gency Force. He was leader of the Ceylon delegation to the U. N. General Assembly sessions in 1957, and was elected vice-president of the General Assembly, polling one of the highest votes yet recorded. Maj. Gen. Medaris Maj. Gen. John Bruce Medaris will speak on “Facing the Chal lenges of the Space Age.” Gen. Medaris, who plans to retire in January from his present position as commander of the Army Ordi nance Missile Command, studied mechanical engineering at Ohio State University where he was Cadet Captain of the ROTC. He left the University prior to gradu ation to accept a commission in the Regular Army. Volunteering for service in the U. S. Marine Corps at the age of 16, he served in France during World War I and was honoi-ably discharged with the rank of Cor poral. He returned to Europe in 1944 as Ordnance Officer, First U. S. Army, and served in that capacity until the end of World War II. Gen. Medaris served with II Corps in Tunisia and Sicily before joining Headquarters, First Army, whose campaigns included those of Normandy, Northern France, the Ardennes, the Rhineland and Cen tral Europe. It fell to him to identi fy the first German V-2 rocket fired against First Army in Eur ope. A decade later he was chosen to direct Army’s long-range mis sile and outer space programs con ducted by a team whose core con sisted of the technical personnel who developed the V-2. Gen. Medaris, who holds the Legion of Merit (with Oak Leaf Cluster) among several other high medals and awards, activated the Ai-my Ballistic Missile Agency February 1, 1956. Since then he has managed to - successful com pletion the development and pro duction of the REDSTONE and JUPITER Missile Systems. He was responsible for the launching of the free world’s first earth satel lite, Explorer I, Jan. 31, 1958. His present command extends from the west to the east coast. He is represented on the staffs of the commanding generals, Atlantic and Pacific Missile Ranges. The development and production of the missile systems for which his com mand is responsible requires the support of a large segment of the U. S. industry, numerous govern ment agencies, research laborator ies and universities throughout the country. The command likewise is responsible' for support of the mis sile weapons systems so long as they are in the hands of troops here and abroad. Tickets Plentiful For Aggie-TU Tilt Students of A&M still have plenty of time to buy reserved seat tickets for themselves and their families, and plenty of tickets from which to choose. The business office of the ath letic department had on hand 2,- 500 tickets, with the seats located at the south end of Kyle Field in the temporary bleachers and seats along the cinder track. Today they announced that Texas University had returned 600 tickets located in the lower rows of the horseshoe part of the stadium. (Continued from page 2) Rice Stadium.
