Boca Chica Naval Air Station Has “New Look” By RUSSELL VAN GILDER SN Authorities at the Naval Air Sta- tion have announced near comple- tion of a $6 million dollar build- ing program that has modernized the station and given it a “new look.” Key West is a center for deve- lopment and training in submar- ihe and antisubmarine warfare cotate Naval Air Station plays an-i ‘ole in this field with its ve feopters, and airships. Captain C. S, Willard, Com- manding Officer of the Air Station, sfad, “The expansion of facilities at the Naval Air Station is in line with the Navy’s increased empha- sis on defense against undersea craft since the close of World War bi Bae The largest of the new buildings is a “Denver” type hangar. The new hangar provides as much space as three of the small wood- en hangars formerly used and is of fireproof .construction through- out. The hanger will serve var- ious squadrons attached to the Na- val Air Station. A “CASUALTY"—The 1 recent construction has doomed this old operations building. This is the tower that has served the air station for over 14 years. It future, Page 8 Russia Seeks To Change U.N. On Red China By TOM HOGE UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. @- Russia sought the General Assem- bly floor today in,a last-ditch at- tempt to upset two U.N. rulings involving her ally, Communist China. The Soviets were expected to ask a special Assembly session to over- ride: 1. The Steering Committee’s rul- ing to delay debate on two explo- sive Russian charges of U.S. ag- gression against Red China until the crucial disarmament debate is over, 2. The Credential Committee's decision to accept Nationalist Chi- “ qualifications as a U.N. mem- r. The Russians had faint hope of reversing either decision, But ob- servers said today’s special As- sembly meeting to receive the re- port of these committees gave the Soviets a chance to air their views again. In challenging the ruling to ac- cept Nationalist China’s creden- tials, the Russians were expected to demand a roll call vote to find out how many powers now favor bringing Communist China into the U.N. Over the past three years, the Russian representatives have never been able to muster more than seven votes in favor of the Chinese Reds, There was considerable specu- lation that India’s V. K, Krishna Menon would take an active role in the debate on China’s creden- tials—and perhaps the aggression charges as well. With Indian Prime Minister Neh- ru in Peiping for talks with Chi- nese Communist leader Mao Tze- tung, it was believed Menon might feel this was an opportune moment to press Red China’s cause once | again, | The Assembly voted decisively at | its opening session to shelve for 1954 the question of seating Red | China. | In adition to India and the five! Soviet bloc powers, Burma and | Communist Yugoslavia have stated they favor admitting the Red Chi- nese. In the continuing disarmament debate, Canada ‘hinted yesterdzy that an East-West agreement for THE KEY WEST CITIZEN will be removed in the near Thursday, October 21, 1954 Tugmen Get Ship Going For Queen Mother By HAL COOPER LONDON —Tugmen eased the liner Queen Elizabeth out of South- ampton harbor in a loyal gesture to Britain’s Queen Mother today— and then began debating whether to join the waterfront strike which has paralyzed Britain’s major sea- Ports. Queen Mother Elizabeth, for whom the ship was named, sailed for New York and a month’s visit to the United States and Canada, It had been feared that the 18-day dock stoppage, now involving more than 43,000 men, might hamper her departure. The walkout, loudly backed by British Communists, stems from a demand by dockers for the right to reject overtime work. Fewer than half the strikers have the backing of various unions involved. Queen Elizabeth II, who began this morning a two-day tour of |¢ south Lancashire, made a pointed change in her schedule to avoid the picketed Liverpool dock area. She and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, had arranged to vis- it the Canada Dock Works at Liv- erpool but Buckingham Palace an- nounced ‘ast night they would see the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine instead. The still-growing stoppage held 298 ships idle in London, Liver- pool, Birkenhead, Hull, Southamp- ton, Garston and Rochester, Fewer than 33,000 of the nation’s 76,000 cargo handlers were work- ing. Export shipments worth more than 80 million pounds (224 mi!- lion dollars) were piled up on the wharves, Food reserves, especially of im- Ported. eggs, butter and bacon, were dwindling. H Prime Minister Winston Church- ill’s government gave no sign of any immediate intention to use troops for unloading essential im- Ports as has been done in previous | major dock tieups. A government board of inquiry, which began investigating the dis pute yesterday, is expected to con- tinue hearings until Saturday, The government likely will wait until the inquiry ends before ordering out troops. fresh ape talks was near. iChir chilla Mom Canadian Delegate Paul Martin told the 60-nation Political .Com- mittee he had hopes the Russians will join the Western Big Three and Canada in sponsoring a reso- Iution to reopen the talks in a sub- committee of the U.N, Disarma- ment Commission. Early-day ships sailing from the Cape Cod area often avoided the scourge of scurvey which plagued crews of other vessels by carrying cranberries which could be pre- Has Quintuplets COLUMBUS, Ohio —The own- ers called it a million-to-one shot, but chinchilla quintuplets were born near here this week.

A new supply warehouse was built adjacent to the hangar, to provide for efficient movement of supplies and spare parts. One “casyalty” of the new build- ing program is the old wooden con- trol tower which has served the field for many years. Itis to be torn down as soon as equipment can be installed in the new opera- tions building. The new biulding provides space for a control tower, aircraft clear- ance facilities, weather and radio communications stations, a pas- senger terminal and lounge, a snack bar, and office space for the Operations Department of the Na- val Air Station. Other features of the expansion program include a transportation shops building, a cold storage build- ing, extensions to the runways and taxiways. and two barracks. The new harracks are of modern de- sign, fire proof construction and provide the maximum in comfort for the personnel quartered. NEW OPERATIONS BUILDING—In place of ihe old wooden tower that was a station landmark for many years stands this NEW “DENVER” TYPE HANGAR—Included in the recent con- struction at the Naval Air Station is this new hangar that will house various squadrons and their administrative departments attached to the Air Station. Summerfield Raps Housing Scandal ” DALLAS, ‘Pa. “(B—Postmaster General Summerfield says the housing situation that developed from exeess FHA loans was “the monumental and vicious sca dal this country has ever known. In a speech in this eastern Penn- sylvania town yesterday, Summer- field said there were an estimated 225 major scandals in the adminis- tration of former President Tru- man, “22 of them originating among the ‘palace guard’—Presi- dent Truman’s own White House staff.” He asked that the people ‘‘com- pare that sorry record with 20 months of clean Republican ad- ministration.” That’s Wright STATE COLLEGE, Pa. ®—Four | Wrights, mother and three sons, are attending Pennsylvania State University. Mrs. L. Kenneth Wright decided | when she had some free time that she’d take a course in weaving. Somewhere along the line she got sidetracked and is now in the grad- uate school working for a master’s degree in home economics, The other Wrights attending are Stewart, 21, a senior in industrial | arts; Larry, 19, a junior in hotel administration; and Darryl, 18, a freshman in arts and letters.

The picture was inspired by a little known incident in the Civil War, the burning and looting of St. Albans, Vt. by a small band. of Confederate soldiers. The raid, which was spectacularly carried out by the rebels on an afternoon in October, 1864, is authentically reenacted in the picture. A full-scale replica of the little town of St. Albans was constructed by Executive Producer Leonard Goldstein for this exciting produc- tion and most of the action takes place in this huge set which cov- ered several acres. As a climax} to the story the whole town is put | the ground. Francis Cockrell’s screen play, which was based on Herbert Ra: venal Sass’ story “Affair at St. Al-| bans,” dramatically shows how | the group of rebels escaped from a| Yankee prison in Plattsburg, New| York, went into Canada and from | | there infiltrated the town of St. Al-| bans. | Their mingling with the local ci- tizens, their methodical planning for the sacking of the town and their daring in carrying out the mission, which was to avenge the burning of Atlanta by Union forces, provides highly dramatic and sus- penseful entertainment. ———— Early-day American bison herds had one white individual for about every 500,000 animals and the In- dians considered the white ones sacred, Birdie Tebetts was a success in his bow as a major league man- ager.
