Mizpah Patrol Wins First Place Trophy The Mizpah Shrine mounted patrol.

The silver trophy will be on display for several weeks in the Arabian dining room at the Mizpah Shrine temple on East Berry street. Fort Wavne (Continued from pag» one) General Paul Henri Spaak of ; NATO, Spaak said, according to Eisenhower, that the free world; must realize that the issue is not ; ■ simply Quemoy and Matsu but the I constant Communist unrelenting pressure against the whole free world. Defends Quemoy Action While Eisenhower backed up Dulles’ expressed belief that Chiang was “foolish” to put 85,000 men on such an exposed position as Quemoy, he softened it somewhat by saying there were always differneces of opinion between the United States and its Allies. Some, of these were differences, he added, but this is natural among free nations that want to preserve their individual sovereignty and independence. The President defended U.S. I support of Chiang on Quemoy as being necessary at this time because the Communists themselves, including Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, had declared that this is the first step in a campaign to drive U.S. forces entirely out of the western Pacific. Eisenhower also rejected Communist assertions that the Formosa Strait battle is part of a civil war. If that is so, he" asked, why is Khrushchev saying that the Russians are ready to participate. The President said he did not regard as “appeasement” Dulles' remarks Tuesday concerning reduction of Nationalist forces on Quemoy if there were a ceasefire. Meanwhile, top aides of Dulles said the secretary now believes there is a fairly good chance the Warsaw talks with fted China will result in a cease-fire in the artil- ■ lery battle over Quemoy.
