U N Speaker Urges Americans to Send Sons Overseas for Peace
Dr. Benjamin A. Cohen of New York City told a Midwest audience at the fifth United Nations Workshop banquet that Americans must accept the burden of world leadership to preserve peace. He called Korea a test of U S willingness to fulfill postwar duties and warned peace requires enlightened self preservation plus reciprocal understanding. The crowd also heard about U N aims, veto power, and the need for broader participation beyond Cold War blocs. The two day conference ended today with a noon luncheon as the Washington House committee approved a two year extension of Eisenhower’s executive reorganization power, easing congressional rejection.

Early New England settlers predate Pilgrims by millennia
Dr. William Fowler of the Massachusetts Archaeological Society dates early settlers to about 6,500 B C near Twin Rivers Rhode Island. They reportedly traveled in large fireheated canoes from the south chasing mammoth and elk as glaciers retreated. Rhode Island forests were absent, with dunes and tundra across arctic moss. A carbon analysis, Carbon 24, aids these claims.
