CLARIFIES POSITION
AT PRESS PARLEY
Detroit, June 15.
General Eisenhower, seeking the Republican Presidential nomination, today denied that he had "rebuked" his political advisers by discarding the prepared text of two speeches here yesterday in favour of speaking extemporaneously,
He said he had not taken over the political direction of his campaign, and was satisfied that he was getting good advice from the men round. him.
The General told a press conférence that he would probably prepare advance texts of future speeches, but noted that he had not made many formal addresses of this kind in the past.
He said yesterday that he was basing his quest for nomination solely on his "basić of the "walk-out" technique love of America.".

Aberdeen, June 15.
Postage rates charged for : parcels · and air mail jotters sent tớ trcops on active service abroad were deplored, at the annual conference of the British Legion' In Scotland at Aber- dean.
Delegates unanimously approved resolution appealing for cheaper rites.
Major. J. D. Milne, who put the resolution on behalf of the Aberdeen branch, asked the delegates to cast their minds back to their own service days. He said they would surely all agree that one of the few highlights was arrival of the daily mail bar.
An answer to the resolution, might be, he said, that the Government had set up canteens, ŊAAFI and various services, and that a parcel from home was no longer required. Ho disagreed and thought 15 was the idle touch from home that counted.
Another speaker said there was no sritiekam of the NAAFI scheme, but a standard parcel had not the same appeal. as one made up at home---Router.
