Kaser. timura air base at Ambon, in which he employed bombs and machinegun fire, was his only battle mission. "I attacked no other ob jects, harbors or ships," he said. Plane Shot Down Pope has been held by the government ever since May, when his airplane was down ed by anti-aircraft fire. His trial began with four formal charges lodged against him: illegal possession of fire arms and explosives, man slaughter, participating in an armed rebellion against the government, and assisting the enemy in time of war. Carries Death Penally The last accusation carries a maximum penalty of death. His admission to the Ambon raid was made under cross examination by Judge Sard jono, who earlier overruled a defense motion that would have given . Pope the same status as a prisoner of war under the Geneva convention, relieving him of the threat of execution. Pope was asked by the judge Saturday to enter a plea of guilty or innocent but refused to do either. 'T understand under Indo nesian laws, a prisoner is not compelled to plead either guilty or not guilty," he said. Diary Produced Judge Sardjono produced a small diary belonging to Pope which told of several attacks and claims of destruction. Pope affirmed that the diary was his but said the battle ac counts it contained were "those of other fliers flying for the rebels which I jotted down for comparing with the radio broadcasts by the gov ernment radio and the rebel radio and occasional news papers from the Philippines." 4-H NEWS Reese Creek Renegades In the absence of our lead er, Cliff Moore, our assistant leader, Bob Scobie, conducted the. meeting.

Ph SP. 2-2111 Court at MeAndrews ESTABLISHED 18 I GREEN lySTAMPS direction to our traditional moral purpose, awakening every American to the dan gers and opportunities that confront us. Real Issues of '60 "These are among the real issues of 1960. And it is on the basis of these issues that the American people must make their fateful choice for their future. "In the past 40 months, I have toured every state in the union and I have talked to Democrats in all walks of life. My candidacy is there fore based on the conviction that I can win both the nomi nation and the election. "I believe that any Demo cratic aspirant to this impor tant nomination should be willing to submit to the voters his views, record and compe tence in a series of primary contests. I am therefore an nouncing my intention of fil ing in the New Hampshire primary and I shall announce my plans with respect to the other primaries as their filing dates approach. 'Historic Function' "I believe that the Demo cratic party has a historic function to perform in the winning of the 1960 election, comparable to its role in 1932. I intend to do my utmost to see that that victory is won. "For 18 years, I have been in the services of the United States, first as a naval officer in the Pacific during World War II and for the past 14 years as a member of the Con gress. In the last 20 years, I have traveled in nearly every continent and country from Leningrad to Saigon, from Bucharest to Lima. From all of this, I have developed an image of America as fulfilling a noble and historic role as the defender of freedom in a time of maximum peril - and of the American people as confident, courageous and persevering. "It is with this image that I begin this campaign."

Election Slated A nominating committee will be selected, also, for con sidering officers for the new year, Harris said.
