FAWTU Cites Recipient Of 1000th Card The Fleet All Weather Training |) Unit, Atlantic, at a cake cutting ceremony, recently issued its} 1000th instrument card to Com-|) mander E. H. English, USN, cur- rently attached to FAWTU as the Operations Officer. Cdr. English qualified for a Special instrument rating, which is the highest instru- ment rating a pilot may receive, Instrument cards are of two types. The Standard instrument rating (white card) requires a high de- gree of skill in the technique of planning and flying an aircraft through inclement weather condi- tions and making a safe landing at an airport by the use of air- craft flight instruments alone. The Special instrument rating (green card) requirements are complex and exacting. Briefly, to attain this rating, a pilot must dis- play exceptional skill, judgment and instrument flying proficiency in the “soup” and must have at least 2,000 hours of flight time in rigid wing aircraft. At the presentation, made by Commander O. B, Stanley, USN, Executive Officer, FAWTULant, Cdr. English thanked all hands for their part in making the presenta- tion possible, for putting him in the air with reliable aircraft with the good work they have been do- ing as plane captains, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN COMMANDER HONORED—At ‘Thursday, July 29, 1954 6 a cake-cutting ceremony, Com- mander E.

To Offer Aid To Egypt By JOHN SCALI WASHINGTON — The United States is ready to offer military and economic aid to Egypt as part of its drive to bolster the Near East against possible Communist aggression. Officials reported today that ne- gotiations for separate military and economic agreements with Egypt would begin within a few weeks. Egypt’s agreement with Britain over the future of the Suez Canal is viewed as clearing the way for American assistance, previously withheld on the ground it might encourage the Egyptians to balk at a compromise. Officials voiced confidence that military and economic understand- ings can be signed quickly per- mitting Premier Abdul Nasser to modernize his army so as to play a bigger defense role with Western nations in the region. Egypt, it is hoped, will change its attitude and lead other Arab governments into a West- ern-backed Middle East defense al- liance, already being fashioned by Pakistan and Turkey. President Eisenhower told his news conference yesterday he was highly pleased that the Egyptians and the British had finally settled their three-year-old dispute. He ex- pressed hope Egypt would now go along with her Western friends to help build more security in the Near East area. Officials declined to say how much aid Egypt would be offered. Israel is expected to protect any American officials are determined to go forward anyway because in their view such equipment is in- tended to guard against possible aggressive moves by Russia and not to renew the war against the TODAYS NEW YORK, 9) — The stock market made a rather limited ad- vance today in early dealings. A point gain was just about the best that could be done among the leaders. Initial losses were scattered and fractional. Major divisions were almost ail .|higher including steels, motors, .| rubbers, aircrafts, radio-televisions railroads, oils, and utilities. A sizable list of secondary issues forged ahead. General Motors, which reported first half profits up 36 per cent, opened on a block of 2,000 shares up % at 81, and it continued trad- ing at that price or a little better. Radio Corp., whose record first half sales produced profits equal to $1.26 a share as compared with $1.18 a year ago, opened at 33% up % and held to that price. Others going higher included U.S. Steel, Chrysler, American Tele- phone, Western Union, Mathieson Chemical, Southern Pacific, and Standard Oil (NJ).

By SPENCER DAVIS WASHINGTON ® — Syngman Rhee neared the end of his White House talks today after winning personal acclaim but a cool re- ception for his plea to Congress for war against Red China now. After laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the South Korean President was to have his fourth and perhaps last session with President Eisenhower since arriving in Washington Monday. So far neither American nor Korean sources have given out word on how the conferences are progressing. Rhee is said to seek more military and economic help for his war-ravaged country and U.S. backing of his ambition to unify it by driving the Communists out of North Korea. Eisenhower reportedly wants Rhee to go easy on his unite-Korea-by-force plans and to adopt a more friendly policy toward neighboring Japan. A joint statement is expected at the end of the talks. The White House did not make known Eisenhower’s views yester- day on the South Korean’s fight- ing talk before a joint session of Congress, although the speech con- flicted with Eisenhower’s previous- ly stated views against the concept of a preventive war. Addressing senators and con- gressmen in a soft, emotion-packed voice, the 79-year-old Asian patriot urged that American warships blockade China, that U.S. Air Force bombers hit its productive centers and that an Asian anti- Communist army of two million South Koreans and Chinese Na-| tionalists — equipped by the Unit- ed States — strike out and destroy the Red regime. He also declared that the one-year-old Korean ar- mistice should be scrapped. “Unless we win China back,” he declared ‘an ultimate victory for the free world is unthinkable.” There was generous applause, with every member on his feet, at Rhee’s entrance and departure. And six times applause interrupted his speech. But there was silence when he declared “the American Air Force as well as the Navy would be need- ed to insure the success of the counter-attack on the Red Chinese regime.” He said that ‘‘no Ameri- can foot soldier” would be needed. Afterwards, congressional feel- ing seemed warm for Rhee as a venerable patriot and representa- tive of a brave people. But most legislators appeared cool or at least noncommittal on his war Proposal. Canada Delegates Go To Conference MONTREAL (#—Canada sent a five-man delegation flying toward New Delhi today to make arrange- ments for the Indochina Cease-fire Commission with India and Poland, the supervisory group’s other two members. : The Canadian Foreign Office an- nounced last night Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent’s gvernment had accepted the Geneva confer- ence’s request that it serve on the commission. Canada was the last of the trio to agree. India, chairman of the commis- sion, announced earlier this week she had invited Poland and Can- ada to send representatives to New Delhi to make preliminary arrangements for the group. Sergeant Is Cleared Of Cruelty Charge FT. DIXI, N.J. & — A wiry, one- eyed non - commissioned officer with six years of Army service behind him yesterday was cleared of charges that he kept 225 recruits at bone-taut attention for an hour in 92-degree heat. Sgt. 1.C. Richard J. Witbeck, 24, of Wellington, Ohio, breathed a sigh of relief as a three-man, spe- cial court-martial board of three of his superior officers acquitted him after deliberating 40 minutes. “I feel very good,” Witbeck said outside the pine-paneled hearing room. “I’m glad it’s all over.” The verdict thus wiped clean the slates of the two principals brought up on charges as a result of the June 21 punishment formation dur- ing which men were said to have} assed out in the broiling sun, n revived with pails of water and forced back into line. First Lt. Robert s. Morgan, 28, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Witbeck’s immediate superior and comman- der of Company “L,” 272 Infantry Regiment, which stood the forma- tion, was cleared of ‘dereliction of duty” charges last Friday. Witbeck, who wears a patch over his left eye, lost in a training mis- hap while on occupation duty in Austria, pleaded innocent to alle- gations of maltreatment of person- nel. He did not take the stand in his own defense and dia not ex- ercise his tight to have other -en- listed men sit on the court. His counsel, Capt. Norman Tup- per of Winter Pakr, Fla., contend- ed that Witbeck merely acted on orders of his superiors. Tupper made light of the trainees’ ordeal of standing at at- tention, saying, “I’ve done it many times. . . . I’ve seen men passing out all around me.” Pvt. William Brooks, 20, of Hempstead, N.Y., testified he fainted twice while on the forma- tion. He said the first time he was revived by water in the face and the second time by smelling salts administered by Witbeck. Asked if he thought he was mal- treated by Witbeck, Brooks replied, “No, sir.” SMALL RETURN ON INVESTMENT TOKYO W—A pair of very ef- ficient Japanese burglars must be wondering today if all their plan- ning was worth it.
