D URING his recent CSETour in Cyprus, Harry

Secombe, the well knownBritish comedian and enter­tainer, p.aid a visit to The 1stBattalion, The Royal High­land Fusiliers, at PolemidhiaCamp, Limassol. He was gre­eted by Lt Col G.C.R.L. Pen­der, MBE, the CommandingOfficer, and during his visitmet many members of thegattalion.

Sec01nbe, an ex "gunner",joined the Territorial Armyin 1939 as a volunteer andserved for n years, through­OUt the North-African and I­talian campaigns in WorldWar n, mainly in the WelshField Regiment of the former73 Division. He is proud ofhis close connections withthe British Army, and TheArmy Benevolent Fund forwhich he has done 'So mUCh,is equally proud to count himas one of its greatest friendsand supporters.

In 1961 he was one of theprincipal organisers of thefirst Royal Variety PerfOl'­mance inlaid of the ArmyBenevolent Fund. This hassince beclllne a regular bi­annual event and in 1965

the most difficult country onthe IsI,and. He added that hewished to pay a particulartribute to the Battalion for'its very good discipline landsaid they had been admir­a ble representatives of Scot­land and the British Armyand had set a very highstandard for others to follow.

Brigadier Wilson had ear­lier stressed two main pointsabout the UN Medal. Firstthat 'it r'epresented muchhard work on the part of tho­se to whom it was awardedand that the words "In TheService of Peace" eXiactlydescribed the reasons for theaward. Secondly that the me­dal, unlike those awardedby their own country, repre­sented the thanks of everyone of the 117 Members Sta­tes of the United Nations. Inconclusion Br'igadier Wilsonsaid that it was his particu­lar pride and pleasure tocongratulate The RoyalHighland Fusiliers on theirexcellent work in Cyprus andto present them with theirmedals on behalf of the UN 'Secretary General.

Colonel Pen del' thankedthe Acting Commander andinvited him to present themedals. Both the Pipe andMilitary Bands played du­ring the Brigadier's presen­tation of medals to the mainbody of the plarade undercommand of Major CoIinMackenzie after which theBands were in turn present­ed with their medals.The ceremony ended with theActing Force Commander tak­ing the salute at a MarchH"tst for whiC'h the comhinen The popular British entertainer findsB"lncts f1 rHI Bllglel's played autograph as he attempts to sign a piece" . ve", .

BY U.S..S.R., FRANCE, MALI AND BULGARIA

I N 0 ['etter sent to members of the Security Council last week,Akiri Matsui of Japan, the Council President for February,

said that serious differences of view on the question of Viet-Namhad "given rise to the general feeling that it would be' inopportunefor the CouMil to hold a further debate" on the prablem "at thistime" (see Blue Beret, 2nd, !V[u1'ch, page seven).

The outgoing President ad­ded, however, that fronl theCouncH's proceedings of thefirst two days of February,and from consultations heldsince then, he "could detect acertain degree of common feel­ing among many members".He summariz;ed this as a gro­wing anxiety over cOIl!tinuedhostilities in Viet-Nam and astrong desire for a peaceful so­lution; as well as the feelingthat the termination of the con­flict should be sought throughnegotiations in an appropriateforum in order to work Qut theimplementation of the GenevaAccords.

Formal protests against theany attempted summation bythe President were registeredby the Soviet Union, France,Mall and Bulgaria, which we­re among the States objectingto any Council involvement inthe Viet-Nam problem. Am­bassador Nilwlai Fedorenko ofthe soviet Union said in a let­ter to the Council that MrMatsui's action was illegal andIrresponsible and could only bel'egarded as a blatant attemptto support United States' ma-'nueuvres to use the Council asa cloak for aggression in South­Eallt Asia. The Soviet repre­semative said that Matsui hadseell fit to send the letter de­spite. the fact that the Councilhad Llot debated the substanceof th,) Viet-Nam question andsome members had refused totake part in informal consulta­tions.
