WASHINGTON, March 5 (UP)
Administration and congresaion-
leaders served notice today that
the Kremlin shakeup will not
slacken the drive for a North At-
lantic security pact or soften the
U. S. attitude toward Russia.
Cautiously-worded statements
from Capitol Hill and the State
Department added up to a warn-
ing to the American people not
to expect any immediate change
for the better in the cold war.
They agreed that the United
State must p:ress its ’’’firm but
patient” campaign for world
regardless of the intri-
cacies of Soviet diplomacy.
Chairman Tom Connally, D.,
Tex., of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee indicated a be-
lief that the best move this coun-
try could make would be to com-
plete the pending security al-
liance with Canada and the west-
ern European powers.
He warned the Soviets that
their opposition to western secur-
ity measures like the pact “can-
not promote the interests of Rus
sia and cannot promote political-
ly or economically the best in-
terests of the civilized world."
The White House announced
that Brig. Gen. Marshall S. Car-
ter has been ordered to join U.
S. Ambassador Lewis Douglas of
Britain to speed coordination of
the forthcoming arms program
for western Europe.
KIN MON IN FINALS
Coach Ralph Binnion of the
Highland Park basketball team,
one of the eight in the state fin-
als, is the son of Mrs. Chas. E.
Binnion of Sweetwater. His
team lost to Lubbock in the
state finals after a fine show-
ing this year.
SONS OF PIONEERS’ WESTERN MUSIC AUTHENTIC—
The Sons of the Pioneers, appearing in person with their
Western Jamboree at the Sweetwater Municipal auditorium
on Monday, March 14, refuse to compromise their type of
authentic western music by adding any trimmings that would
not fit into the true picture as they conceive it. The group,
consisting entirely of strings, has never allowed either wind
percussion instruments within its ranks. As Bob Nofan says,
“Only strings and voices are authentic mediums of expres-
sion for W'estern folk music. Swing and Boogie-Woogie are
all right for those who like them, but they don’t blend with
Western. It’s the Boogie-Woogie musicians w ho like Western
so well that they try to do the ttlending, rnther than vice-
versa. But that’s understandable since all musicians recog-
nize the permanent value of folk music like ours.”
