VETERANS DAY (Armistice Day)—1956
(By Dan DanieL National Commander, The American Legion
On November 11 the nation observes its third
annual Veterans Day. This is both a memorial to our
honored dead and a tribute to the living veterans of
all wars.
The crowding of three major wars into half a
normal life span has raised the veteran population to
some 22 million. But, even though the number were
doubled or tripled, the United States would hold a
special place of honor for those who came to its defense
in time of war. Something very precious would go out
of American life if the word “veteran” should ever
cease to be a term of respect.
Individually, the men and women who wore our
nation’s uniform in time of war do not ask or want to be
treated as heroes. Yet they know that a few short years
ago the fate of the nation and of the world was in their
hands.
They also remember the esteem for the veterans
of former conflicts which they themselves learned as
children. In this esteem there was born a firm patriot
ism and a conviction of the worth of this land of free
dom. These were the qualities which sustained them
when they were called to the defense of America.
The children and youth of today are no less sensi
tive to the attitude of adults. Should the veteran ever
be downgraded in public esteem, should our observance
of this one day of the year intended to honor war-time
military service become lackadaisical or cynically per
functory, we will have stolen from our young people
the priceless opportunity of developing their own sense
of patriotism and pride in America.,
With reverence for the dead, with modest but
sincere pride in the past accomplishments of the living,
let us dedicate this Veterans Day to the future security
and freedom of America. _

Plans Set for
Methodist College
At Anchorage
. .DENVER, liP>—The National
Alaska Methodist College Com
mittee of the Methodist Church

for establishment of a four-year
college at Anchorage, Alaska.
The committee of 20 members
named Chester M. Alter, chancel
lor of Denver University, a dele
gate to confer with Alaskan auth
orities on the school.
It also recommended speedy
adoption of a charter, election of
trustees, selection of a president,
and appointment of school offi
cials for the school, which wou'd
be established with funds provid
ed by Methodist Church donations
in this country.
H. Conwell Snoke of Philadel
phia, treasurer of the committee,
said about 6,000 churches thus far
have contributed $616,362 to the
college fund and have pledged an
additional $575,694.
In addition, Anchorage resi
dents have contributed $208,650
of pledges totaling $717,000.
The committee approved a pro
posed academic program based on
instruction in three liberal arts
divisions—the humanities, social
sciences and mathematics and the
natural sciences.
The committee is composed of
Methodist ministers and laymen
from the U.S. and Alaska.
Re-elected chairman of the
committee was Bishop A. Ray
mond Grant of Portland, Ore.

are John Connolly, Anchorage at
torney, vice- chairman; the Rev.

Administration
Will Reconsider
Resources Policy
WASHINGTON Oft—Certain Re
publican political defeats in the
West have prompted top officials
to take a “long, hard look” at the
power and natural resources poli
cies of the Eisenhower Adminis
tration.
An official who disclosed this
Friday said the review was -set in
motion at the vice presidential
and Cabinet levels, was aimed at
determining whether any policy
changes are in order.
Also under consideration, he
said, is whether administrative
changes are needed, as well, in
what he called “a better getting
across to the people of the story
of what is being done.”
In many of the states of the
Midwest and Far West, the ad
ministration’s program of devel
oping power in partnership with
local governmental and private
interests was at issue in political
battles, particularly for seats in
the House and Senate. Other re
source policies also were at issue.
After the votes were counted in
last Tuesday’s elections, Republi
can Senate incumbents or candi
dates had lost in Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Colorado, Nevada
and Arizona. Republicans lost
governor races in Oregon and in j
Washington. President Eisenhow- j
er took all the states of that area. |

Eisenhower Declines Swiss Bid for
Summit Conference in Switzerland
GETTYSBURG, Pa., Wl—Presi
dent Eisenhower Saturday told
the Swiss government the United
States wants to continue handling
current international crises in the
United Nations rather than join
in a new summit conference of
major powers at this time.
Eisenhower sent off a reply to
the Swiss invitation to the United
States, Britain. France, Russia
and India for a new conference of
heads of government to avert the
danger of World War III.
The announcement of Eisen
hower’s reply to the invitation,
extended earlier this week, was
made at his farm home here soon
after he arrived from Washington
for a few hours of relaxation.
James C. Hagerty, White House
press secretary, said the President

NOTICE
The public is asked to cooper
ate and report to the police all
instances of persons dumping
garbage within the city or on
the beach within the city limits.
The city went to considerable
expense this past year to clean
up the beach and anyone dump
ing garbage within the city limits
will be prosecuted.
We ask citizens' cooperation in
reporting all violations.
—Carl Webb, Chief of Police
had sent this cable to President
Markus Feldmann of Switzerland:
“The Federal Council’s sugges
tion for a meeting in Switzerland
of the five chiefs of government
has received urgent and sympa
thetic consideration here.
“I appreciate the sincerity of
the Swiss proposal and share the
concern for the preservation of
peace which inspired it.
“However, the United Nations
is actively seized [sic] with the
various problems posing a threat
to world peace and I believe that
interests of all will best be served
by carrying these initiatives thru
to a successful conclusion.”
Officials emphasized that the
Eisenhower reply did not amount
to an outright rejection of the
Swiss invitation.
What it boiled down to was an
indirect statement that the U.S.
does not intend, at this time, to
act outside the United Nations in
seeking to ease world tensions.
The President’s cable clearly
left the way open for a summit
conference some time in the fu
ture if its efforts within the U.N.
should not bear fruit.
