S. Naval Academy at Annapolis or the ,U. S. Military Academy at West Point will be hIH .Tunn 19th in tho rmct nfftro bullldjms in a number ol cities in the Fourth Congressional Dis- trlnr On thi hn:its nf urarlrM! earned, I will make appointments to 111! several vacancies, ana will be clad to furnish complete de tails to anyone interested. The corrtpctltive examinations referred to are not cademy en trance tests, but are examinations conducted by the Civil Service Commission for the purpose of providing me with a rating of the scholastic ability of applicants for appointment. It is my policy to. appoint .boys making the high est grades in these examinations. Those wno are appointed win en ter the academics July 1, 1949. The number of those applying for academy appointments has de creased considerably durine the last two years. I mention this fact to give encouragement, to inose boys who would like to apply but hesitate to do so, fearing the field of competition is too crowded. There may be some tendency also to tninK tnar, Decause incse ap pointments , arc made by Con gressmen and Senators, Some sort of Influence is required. Every boy in my Congressional District has equal opportunity to win an appointment. If he makes a good grane in tne competitive examina tion referred to, can pass the physical examination, and has a good personal record, ne win De appointed. It seems to me the opportunity for receiving an education at one of the two academies is well worth working for. Although they are naval and military academies, the training given is of college standard. A career of honorable service awaits those who graduate. i Flaw In U. N. Revision A number of Senators and Rep resentatives have recently spon sored legislation calling for adras tic revision of the United Nations organization. I shall not attempt to discuss the details of the pro posal other than to say that, on the face of it, the idea would ap pear to pave the way for the divi sion of the nations of the world into two opposing groups,, one led. by the United States and the other by Russia, It is true . that such a division seems to exist now, but Without the official sanc tion of the world organization. . It seems t'p me those who are sponsoring the revision idea over looked one important fact. The UN was formed for the purpose of preventing future wars of ag gression and was not actually set up to settle the differences arising out of World War n. In otheV words, UN is fundamentally an organization to keep peace after peace is established, but peace has not yet been won. . . The proposal to rpvise the UN organization will not he acted upon by Congress at this session.
