1897, the year of his graduation
from the Naval Academy, he
served in four wars starting with
the Spanish-American War. His
next fighting assignments were
during the Philippine Insurrec
tion and in the Boxer uprising in
China.
Leahy reached the peak of his
service in the Navy in 1937 when
he was appointed chief of naval
oprations.
After his retirement two years
later he served successfully as
Governor of Puerto Rico and Am
bassador" to France during the
early stages of World War II.
In 1942 he was recalled to ac
tive duty as chief of staff to the
commander in chief. In that capa
city he was the senior member of
the joint chies of staff and a
member of the combined chiefs
which included senior oficers of
principal allies of the United
States.

Batista Wants
Asylum in U. S.
WASHINGTON, Oft — Ousted
Cuban President Fulgencio Ba
tista is seeking political refuge in
the United States partly because
he believes his life is in “very
great danger” in the Dominican
Republic where he is now an
exile, Batista’s Washington attor
ney said Saturday.
The lawyer, William A. Roberts,
said Batista and his aides have
been seeking permission to go to
Batista’s home at Daytona Beach,
Fla., for more than two months.
The State Department disclosed
only last week that Batista was
seeking a visa. A Department
spokesman had denied repeatedly
that Batista was seeking asylum
in this country.
Roberts said Batista had prom
ised to avoid all political activity
if he is allowed to enter the United
States on a visitor’s permit.
Roberts said Joseph Farland,
U. S. ambassador to the Dominican
Republic, has endorsed Batista’s
plea for admission to the United
States.
Hilda Koweluk and Alton Ash
craft were married Tuesday by
Rev. Gerald McCray at the Meth
odist Parsonage.

A Taste Of U. S. A, In Moscow
The amazing changes which have taken place in the American
kitchens, namely convenience foods and work-saving appliances,
are to be demonstrated in Russia this summer.
Two experienced American home
economists, armed with seven tons
of frozen foods and dessert mixes
and a well-equipped 10-foot square
kitchen area, will prepare typical
U. S. dishes before an estimated
three million Soviet visitors to the
American National Exhibition in
Moscow.
Seven days a week, forll hours
a day. food demonstrations will be
staged to help the Russian people
understand just how the American
housewife can quickly and easily
prepare a variety of dishes in a
matter of minutes. Twice each day
throughout the six-week Exhibi
tion. opening July 25, the food
demonstrations will be televised
and flashed on color monitors
located throughout the 1,500 acre
Sokolniki Park where American
culture, industry and standards of
living will be show-cased just 10
minutes subway ride from the
Kremlin.
To accomplish the feat and help
spread greater understanding of
the U. S. among Soviet people,
two competing American food
firms, General Foods and General
Mills, have accepted the U.S. Gov
ernment’s invitation to stage the
food demonstrations in Moscow.
Miss Barbara Sampson, Birds
Eye home economist in the Gen
eral Foods Kitchens at White
Plains, N. Y., will supervise the
preparation and sampling of five
tons of frozen foods — a total of
58 varieties in 12,000 packages.
The dessert mixes for cakes,
cookies, pies, brownies and even
pizza are being shipped to Moscow
by General Mills. The demonstra
tions of two tons of these con
venience products will be directed
by Miss Marylee Duehriog, home
economist in the Betty Crocker
kitchens of General Mills at Min
neapolis. Minn
