Louis, supreme vice-regent. The 1,500 delegates passed a resolution pledging their "voices and votes against every artifice of communism and its disciples land dupes." Russians hurled another research satellite into orbit. Khrushchev vowed the Soviet Union will follow up its orbital feats with "still more wonders." Then came the cold war words. The premier, speaking from the tomb of Lenin as the astronauts stood by, declared he will insist on a Berlin settlement that removes Western troops from the city. He expressed willingness for United Nations forces to replace Western Allied troops after an agreement is reached but emphasized this would be only on a temporary basis.

Khrushchev shouted into the microphone with great emphasis, but the words followed much the same line he has used repeatedly in demanding that the Berlin situation be settled on his terms. The Russians underlined the big welcome for the space hereoes by announcing the launching of an instrument-bearing satellite, presumably unmanned, named Cosmos 8. Tass said the launching was part of a research begun five months ago. Car Crash (Continued from Page One), Neither Miss Fitzpatrick nor Wistuba were allowed visitors. Noll was transferred to St.

Quite a few Leavenworth lies will have reason to observe the 35th Division "Organization Day" which will be celebrated next Sunday, starting at 1:30 p.m. at the Liberty Memorial, Kansas City, by veterans and current members of the 35th Division, Kansas and Missouri National Guard. On Aug. 25, 1917, the staff and several hundred as yet battle inexperienced Kansans and Missourians assembled at Camp Doniphan, Ft.

SIll, to hear the War Department General Order read which organized the 35th. Some of those present on that occasion may dispute the "battle inexperienced" term which aptly described most of the men who had recently joined the Missouri and Kansas National Guard units for the "great adventure." Hadn't we fought on the Mexican border the previous year? they will argue. True, but the Mexican bandit Pancho Villa, was running away in 1916 and most of the bullets fired were at ceremonies. But "Kaiser Bill's" German Legions had been battering the British and French troops around since 1914. The United States entered the fracas by declaring war on April 6, 1917 and guardsmen were called from farms, factories, offices and stores to bolster the relatively small Regular Army.

After a brief stay at Camp Doniphan, the 35th found itself on the battle front at what was termed a "quiet sector" in the Vosges Mountains of France. The casualty lists started flowing home in June of 1918, less than a year after the division had been organized at Camp Doniphan. Those were grave and times for the home folks as well as the soldiers of the 35th, as such now familiar names St. Mihiel and Argonne Forest appeared i in news reports. Maj.

Gen. Harvey C. Clark, who had commanded the 13,000 Missouri National Guardsmen prior to their move to Camp Doniphan, had been "washed out" due to inability to meet the rigorous physical requirements of the World War I Army. Clark wrote his comrades that, "You entered the National Guard of your own accord and with motives of unselfish and disinterested devotion to the highest duty which an American citizen can perform." Clark continued: "During the time I was with you at Camp Doniphan, I had opportunity to observe the Kansas National Guard (volunteers from the two states were combined to form the 35th Division) and what I say to my own people applies to our comrades from our sister state who come from the same stock, having the same ideals and characteristics separated only by By May of 1010, men of the 35th were demobilized and had returned to their homes and civilian jobs. Many remained with tile Guard to continue training recruits who later served in World War II.

A little more than 20 years later a somewhat similar story WAS enacted hen Kansas and Missouri men, plus additional. troops from Nebraska and Arkansas, were added to the 35th of World War It. The training locale had been moved to Camp Robinson, near Little Rock. The next stop was a "side trip" to the west coast where the men guarded against possible Japanese attack. The date of departure from the port of embarkation for Germany was May 12, 1944.

Historians have recorded December 1944 as the "acid test" of the American Army in World War II. This was the month chosen by Adolf Hitler to throw General Von Rundstedt's finest. troops and al'mor into the Ardennes salient in what proved to be a last ditch oftensive. Maj. Gen.

Paul Baade. a World War I officer and no stranger to German, tactics, had made headed the the "Santa diFe" shoulder patch a white cross on a blue field to honor the men who blazed the old Santa Fe Trail known and feared by German soldiers more than two decades earlier. No one can deny that the 35th acquitted itself in keeping with the great American tradition in both World Wars. They came home to regroup as National Guardsmen of Kansas and Missouri against the next threat of aggression that might be directed against our country.
