The British leader, in replying

‘ to a Khrushchev note on the

Meeting, backed President Fis-

DE GAULLE DISAGREES

But French Premier de Gaul-

New York Security Council ses-
sion. He said it holds the danger
of becoming an increasingly un-
wieldy show. De Gaulle proposed,
instead, a big power summit

De Gaulle said that was more
in line with Khrushchev’s origi-
nal idea of having the Soviet Un-
ion, the Western Big Three, In-
dia and UN Secretary-General
Dag Hammarskjold attend.”
Now, the Western allies have
confronted Khrushchev with an
assortment of ideas to answer.

Eisenhower’s reply.to Khrush-
chev Friday insisted the council
handle all the details for the sum-
mit meeting and prepare the
meeting thoroughly after talks
among the delegation heads in
New York. That amounted to a
slowdown in. the face of Khrush-

meeting. He suggested it begin

viet Union on U.S. and British
troop landings in Lebanon and
Jordan.

Macmillan said he would at-
tend, if Khrushchev does. He did
not stipulate that the whole Mid-
dle East background. be an
agenda item.

De Gaulle’s reply noted that
Khrushchev’s first proposal was
for a summit meeting in Geneva
or anywhere else to deal with the
Middle East crisis. De Gaulle
said he is for that.

In “Moscow, Khrushchev was
reported weighing the LEisen-

expected him to make an out-

The oifficiial Soviet news agency

weekend for the start of celebra-

began Saturday as a 200-year-old
French cannon boomed and
belched a cloud of black smoke.
From the ramparts costumed
trumpeters sounded a fanfare.

ACTION TELEVIZED

Television viewers across Can-
ada watched the first hour’s ac-
tivities over the CBC’s national
network. The TV cameras also
followed the raising of a bar-
nacle-encrusted cannon from the
harbor floor. The cannon belonged
to a ship sunk in the harbor en-
trance in a vain attempt to stall
the British fleet. ;

Nova Scotia's Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor E. C. Plow unveiled a
memorial to the thousands of
British, French and American

Commander Of Famous
Flying Tigers Dies

NEW ORLEANS (AP)-Lt.-Gen.
Claire Chennault, whose Flying
Tigers helped sweep Japanese
aircraft sty China skies during
the war, died Sunday after a long
battle with cancér. He was 67.
1st Add Chennault death. . . 67.

Gince his return from Formosa
in February, Chennault had been
receiving treatment on and off
Oschner Foundation Hospital for
lung cancer.

In 1941, Chennault suggested the
formation of a force of volunteers
to fly for China. The American
Volunteer Group, which later flew
under the banner of the Flying
Tigers, was formed in July, 1941.

With sharks’ teeth painted on
the snouts of their antiquated
planes, this small band of filiers
scored phenomenal sucicesis
against overpowering odds.

' Chennault, born at Commerce,
Tex., but raised in Louisiana,
quit his job as a school principal
to enter the infamiry in 1917. He
served in the aviation section of

the signal corps during the First
World War.

He rejoined the regular armg.
a few months after his discharge
in - 1920.

Chennault first went to China
in 1937 ab the invitation of
Madame Chiang Kai-shek to start
training Chinese pilots and keep
Chinese planes in. the air.
,Seven months after the Hlying
Tigers went into operation, the
group was absorbed into the U.S,
Army Air Force and Chennault
took command of air force in
China.

He .announced his. retirement
from the service one month be-
fore Jiapan surrendered Aug. 14,
1945. However, Chennault stayed
on with the Nationalist Chinese
and became chairman of the
board of Civil Air’ Transport, a
privately-operated airlines oper-
ating out of Taipei.

‘Chennault is survived by his
second wife, Chinese-born Mrs.

Anna Chan Chennault, and their

two daughters, Anna Claire, 10,
and Cynthia Louise, 8. Other
survivors included eight chidern
by his first wife.
