One is that almost in variably • when the atainlstra- tion has had to tackle a particu- larly difficult and critical doa^es- tic or international problem, gen- erally speaking it has handled it rather well. But in the doing, the administration has also demon- strated an unfortunate lack 6f consciousness when it comes te public relations. Certainly no American could argue, for example, with the need for 1-2 spy plane trips awer the Soviet Union for intelligence pur- poses By the same token, those Presidential aspirants and others who argue that the government should not have risked a flight just prior to the summit confer- ence in Paris make more political palaver than good aense.__Ear if intelligence work by air is impor- tant at any time, it certainly was important just prior to the sum- mit meeting—if only to make sure that we and the rest of the free world were not being duped, as in 1941 with the attack on Pearl Harbor. The fault, if any, lay generally —again as so often in the Eisen- hower administration — in poor public relations handling of the incident. We made ourselves and the situation look a great deal worse than xinruina*ap<Qa*. war- ranted There was nothing essen- tially wrong with the U-2 flight in itself. There was a lot wrong with the way the administration answered questions about it. Similarly, the administration often completely misses opportun- ities to make what might be call- ed \good propaganda.*' While Communist propagandists take advantage even of the flimsiest suggestion to build up a The V.F.W. and American le- gion will conduct Memorial Day services in this village Monday morning. .

Earl Led- den of Syracuse at the 88th annual conference of the Methodist church held in Watertown Satur- day, May 21 Receiving the awards were Star Scout Stephen Hugh Sprague, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ward Sprague; First Class Scout Robert Hayden. son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hay- den; First Class Scout David Wil- liam Stamper, son of Mrs. Mur- ray Yerdon; First Class Scout Wendell George Vanduzee, son of Mr and Mrs Claude Vanduzee. First Clas* Scout Joseph Alfred Head, son of Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Head and First Class Scout Jan Edward Morley. son of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Morley. The six presentations by Bishop Ledden mark the largest single number of God and Country awards made at one time in the history of the conference and 6f the local Scout Council. The awards climax several years of service simultaneously to church and scouting by each youth. The presentation was made during the Youth Hours at the conference when 278 youth.delegates from the Northern New York Conference were present. Troop 21 is sponsored by the Methodist Men of the First Meth- odist church in Gouverneur. Greg- ory Foy is scout master. Prepara- tion for the God and Country award was made with the Rev. Stanley E.
