Challenge Well Met
After three years of service in the community
Rev. Reeves Havens of the Community Methodist
Church leaves to take up his work in another part of
the territory.
We are glad to know that he is remaining in the
territory because of the good work he has done here,
and we know he will participate in many ways to help
another community grow.
It was not an easy task for this easterner to fit
himself into the ways of this far northern town and
into a church whose workers are from many denomina
tions, but he accepted the challenge with courage and
leaves a well organized church to his successor. The
growth of the Methodist Church here during the past
three years is evidence of his leadership.
Japan Says Russia
Demands U.S. Withdraw
Troops Within 90 Days
TOKYO, UP)—Major Japanese
newspapers said today Russia had
demanded that the United States
pull its troops out of Japan and
Okinawa within 90 days as the
price of a Soviet-Japan World
War II peace treaty.
Similar stories in Tokyo dailies
said Russia made a “drastic pro
posal” at Tuesday’s session of the
USSR-Japan peace talks in Lon
don which embraced the demands
the Soviets failed to win at the
1951 San Francisco peace confer
ence.
The newspapers quoted “auth
oritative sources.”
Foreign Minister Mamoru Shig
emitsu said Russia has renewed
almost the ‘same demands on
Japan which the Soviets failed to
win at San Francisco.
The Russians tried unsuccess
fully then to force Japan to oust
U.S. troops from Japan and Oki
nawa within 90 days.

Adenauer Urges
Further Talks on
Arms Reduction
CAMBRIDGE Mass., UP>—Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer of West
Germany asked the United States
yesterday to prod Russia again for
an agreement on controlled arms
reduction.
“The fate of this world and of
peace” rests in the hands of “the
two great world powers: the Uni
ted States and the Soviet Union,”
the 79-year-old German leader
said in a speech prepared for Har
vard University commencement
exercises. He continued:
“Unless these two great powers
agree on an important step in the
direction of controlled disarma
ment, the present state of conflicts
short of a major war will contin
ue. . .
President Eisenhower is sched
uled to meet at Geneva July 18
with the premiers of Russia, Brit
ain, and France. Adenauer has
just concluded talks in Washing
ton with Eisenhower, Secretary of
State Dulles and others.
Adenauer said:
“I would be especially gratified
if the United States would take
the initiative in this matter and
discuss this question with Soviet
Russia. The United States is the
strongest nation on earth; Soviet
Russia fears her and her only and
this fear certainly influences So
viet policy to a considerable de
gree.
“By taking the initiative in this,
the United States would carry for
ward the policy announced by
President Eisenhower in his ad
dress in April 1953: that is, con
trolled disarmament and the use
of some of the means thus saved
for the benefit of underdeveloped
nations.”
