THE ALTO HER.\LD, AI,TO. TEXAS. JUIA* H. 1031
JOHN DOWDY'S
NEWSLEHER
From Washington, D. C.
Washington. D.C.—In the next
few days 1 wili start m.akitig my
appointments for the Military
Academy at West Point, and the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, and
nominations of candidates for the
Air Force Academy in Colorado.
These nominations will be for
entrance in July. 1958 I have
heard from several \oung men
who are interested in attending
these academics, hut 1 still have
several open nominations, and
would bo pieased to hear from
anyone in our Congressional Dis-
trict who feels he is qualified
physically and schotastically. and
would like to attend one of these
academies.
The Coast Guard also has an
academy which has about the
same entrance requirements as
the three service academies. I
would be happy to recommend
any qualified young man for en-
trance there.
Each of these schools offers a
splendid opportunity for an edu-
cation and training for a worth-
while life. While the number I
can select to each one is very
limited, 1 will do my best to ac-
commodate any of you who write
me.
Academy catalogs arc available,
and I would be happy to send you
one, if you will wr'te and desig-
nate the academy in which you
are interested.
It is beginning to appear that
our regular Sunday afternoon diet
of television wili include some
communist lecturing on the won-
ders of communist socialism. Last
Sunday it was Tito, the Dictator
of Yugoslavia.
I am afraid it is part of the
build-up on the part of the policy
makers of our government to in-
crease the money, jet planes, etc.,
that arc being given him at the
expense of the American tax-
payer. He is the same Tito who
has ordered American planes shot
down, and our arms and aid to
him arc building up the com-
munist war machine which may
one day be used against us. Our
policy makers want to make-be-
lieve. and"piay-iike" he is a
! friendty and reliable neutral, in
spite of Tito's frank deciaration
that in any war between com-
munism and freedom, he will al-
ways fight on the side of com-
munism. I do not believe Tito
fooled anyone in our part of the
nation, just as Khrushchev failed
in his attempt.
Your Congressman,
John Dowdy.
