NKW YORK '/L Wes Galla
gher. newly appointed gi neral
manager of the Associated Press,
says the worldwide news coopera
tive will carry on its tradition of
accurately recording unfolding his
t' tv.
By doing so, he said, it will
“make a real contribution to an
understanding of our times.”
The Associated Press Board of
Directors appointed Gallagher
Wedm sday to succeed Frank Star
zel, who is retiring. The appoint
ment is effective Monday.

These are exciting and peril
ous times. For the first time in
history, there are no non-combat

i Letters of Commendation in recog

capable that we wish to call at
tention in this way to their
achievement and academic prom
ise.
“The semi-finalists and com
mended students together consti
tute about 2 per cent of all high

nifies noteworthy accomplishment
by all of these bright youngsters.”
“We earnestly hope that the
commended students will continue
their education.’ ’ Mr. Stalnaker
continued. "By doing so they will
benefit both themselves and the
nation.
“The Letters of Commendation
provide tangible recognition of
their high ability. We urge the
students honored to make every
effort to attend college, and to de

of achievement.”

American Legion called for over
throw of the Castro government
Thursday by ‘'unilateral military
action” if necessary.
In a senes of strongly worded
foreign policy resolutions, the

on disarmament and Cuba.
Without dissent, the Legionaires
adopted a resolution demanding
“the leaders of our government
forthwith announce their reliance”
on the Monroe Doctrine in Cuba,
The convention also opposed the
program of “general and complete
disarmament” it said was proposed
by representatives of the Unite]
States at the Geneva disarms s nt
conference.
Among other resolutions the 2.0
million member Legion also e.d!" 1
for an investigation of the S'at
Department and a federal stu " on
whether it is in "the best ir.tert s',
of the United States to remain a
member of the United Nations.”

! BATTLE OF SHORTS ENDS
| AKRON. Ohio UP' — The battle j
of the shorts ended un*. xpectedlv
today in a compromise.
Judy I!ae Bushone.. 16. arrived
at Springfield Township High
School and said she would wear
oversized bloomer-type shorts in
4.vm class.
Judy, a modest daughter of a
minister, made it clear her outfit
would cover' her knees.
She had steadfastly maintained
in the past that it was sinful to
wear shorts publicly and refused
to bare knees in gym class.
School officials have said it was
simply a matter of how far they
should go in bending the rules for
those who don’t like them.
Archbishop Asks Catholics
To Take a ’ Fresh Look"
LONDON UP — The Archbishop
i'i Canterbury voiced hope that
the Roman Catholic Church, at is
current ecumenical meting, will
take a fresh look at some of its
policies, which he said offend other
( nsh a;; >.
The Archbishop. Di. Michael
Ramsey, said in an interview:
"A good example of this is the
question of mixed marriages, where
some of the procedures and de
mands are very painful to Angli
cans.
"I am thinking, of course, of the
invitation to the future husband
or wife to abandon their Anglican
faith, and the insistence that the
children of the marriage must be
brought up as Roman Catholics.”
