A quintet of local men attended, including George Henry, chairman of the Newton-McDonald district committee; Dick Straycr, field service executive; Tex Balch, chairman of camping activities; R.

E. Anderson, finance director, and his assistant, Charles Gernes. Based on a cooperative report, gathered from county and city school superintendents of the eight- county Mo-Kan area, it was estimated that 20.JL64 boys would be available for the scouting program bv 1960. Proposing that no less than 29 per cent these boys registered in the program, it would require practically a doubling of the number of units currently in operation. It was pointed out that the successful operation of such a program will 1 (require 2,200 volunteer scouters.

Leadership training was carefully stressed in the face of an announcement that in the. 38 councils of District 8, the Mo-Kan Council stands 38th in degree of participation in the training program- Steve Parker announced plans for realignment of the four districts of the council for more effective operation. The local area, designated District 1, will continue to include Newton and McDonald counties, according to the proposed plan. The finance program was given special attention with the present cost of operation estimated at $13 per boy. Scouters compared this $13 necessary to keep boys in a citizen-building scouting program, to the $1500 required to pay for a boy's expense at the state reformatory.

Recognition 01 the importance of "outing" in Scouting, they plan to prepare and publish a list of safe camping sites which may be used by, troops throughout the council.

Teague (D-Tex.) of the House Veterans committee has blamed American Legion leaders for blocking congressional action on legislation to increase ben'efits for two million veterans disabled in military service.

He said this and. other worthy veterans bills are caught in a Senate Finance committee blockade behind a $2ff billion pension bill which the Legion has given top priority. This bill would authorize old-age pensions for needy veterans of World War I without gard to whether they have "service-connected" disabilities. Teague called on Legion leadei-s to disavow the pension bill so the finance committee can report other measures without fear that Legion pressure will prompt the Senate to add the pension measure on the floor as an amendment. At the same time Teague urged leaders other veterans groups and of the Junior Chamber of Commerce to use their influence to persuade the Legion "to abandon its non-service-connecled pension drive and restore top priority to consideration to war disabled veterans." Teague made his request a telegram to Legion National Commander J.

Addington Wagner. 'Action on your part is imperative if our service-connected disabled veterans are not to become the victims of an ill conceived drive by the American Legion for non-service connected pensions," Teague warned Wagner. This was the latest shot in a long battle that Teague has fought with the. Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars over demands by the two veterans groups for a general pension for aged and needy veterans, without regard to disability whether incurred in service or civilian life. Over Teague's objections the House on June 27 passed a pension bill providing $90 monthly payments to 65-year-old veterans of World War provided their other income is low.

Government estimates put the cost of the bill at $307 million the first year, $618 million the fifth vear, and $27 cumulative now and the year Nuclear Blasts Reported TOKYO (UP) Japanese scientists said today the United States set off another nuclear explosion in the current test series in the Pacific proving grounds Sunday.
