The pilot was James Olln Chiles, 25, Junior grade lieutenant sta

The Soviet government had
charged that Italy violated its
peace treaty by joining In the 12
nation defense treaty last April.
In his written reply, Acheson
noted that the views expressed
in the Russian note of March 31
are "identical in their misinter

tent of the Atlantic treaty with
those published by the Soviet for

tne text had been decided
"It would thus appear that the
views of the Soviet government
on tnis subject do not arise from
an examination of the character
and text of the Atlantic pact but
irom other considerations, Ach

"The text makes clear the com
pletely defensive nature of this
pact, its conformity with both the
spirit and letter of the charter
of the United Nations, and also
the fact that the pact is not di

group of nations but only against
armed aggression."

Senator Byrd's
Rule At Stake In
Virginia Primary
RICHMOND, Vs.. Aug. 2-P)
United States Senator Harry F.
Byrd's leadership of the Demo
cratic party in Virginia for 25
years was at slake today in the
state's primary to nominate a
governor.
More than 300,000 Virginia
Democrats were predicted to
cast their vote today in a guber
natorial primary contest that has
not been so heated In this state
for a quarter of a century.
Though Byrd's name does not
appear on the ballot, most voters
will be consciously voting for or
against the party organization
which he has dominated.
The primary brought to a close
a four-cornered Democratic gu
bernatorial race, in which Byrd
for the first time in his political
career openly endorsed a candi
date. He threw his weight of in
fluence behind the candidacy of
state Senator John S. Battle.
The avowed opponent of the
Byrd organization in the race is
Francis Pickens Miller, former
legislator. Other candidates are
Horace H. Edwards, a former
mayor of Richmond, and Rem-
mie L. Arnold, pen and pencil
manufacturer of Petersburg, Va.
Virginia's Republicans also will
go to the polls today for their
first statewide primary. Fewer
votes are expected to be cast by
them to choose a lieutenant gov
rnor, the only office being con
tested in the primary.
Walter Johnson, an attorney
from Heathsville, is the unoppos
ed Republican candidate for gov
ernor. Miss America Spurns

SCREAMS ROUT BANDIT
Two Canyonville
Women Prevent
Cafe Robbery
The claim that a woman's
scream is more effective than a
robber's gun was proven true
again last night when two wait
resses combined their vocal ef
forts to thwart an attempted
armed robbery at the Pioneer
cafe and motel, six miles south
of Canyonville.
W. I. Worrall, Canyonville
sheriff's deputy, reported this
morning that a young-looking
man clad in new clothes, masked
with a red handkerchief and car
rying a gun confronted the two
women in the cafe at 10:25 p.m.
Monday. The women, Mrs. Sarah
Nimmo, wife of the cafe and mo
tel owner, and co-owner Margar
et Bisgrove screamed loudly and
attempted to use a small gas
pencil on the Intruder.
The combination proved too
much for the would-be bandit and
he fled the scene in a 1937 model
coupe. Owner Everett Nimmo
gave chase but lost .he fleeing

Sheriff's deputies are investi
