The President received a group of American Civil Air Patrol Cadets
(This appointment was arranged at the request of Hon. Val
Peterson, who advised that these cadets, selected on basis
of competitive examinations, their deportment and recom-
mendation by local leaders, were to assemble in Washington
at this time en route to foreign countries which they will
visit on an exchange basis. Governor Peterson thought that
if the President could arrange to receive these cadets it
would be very helpful to the Civil Air Patrol Movement.
Participating this year with Civil Air Patrol in exchange of
240 young men, are Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France,
Greece, Italy, Mexico, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and Great Britain.)
