is wasting and boarding manpower in its civilian
bureaus. The housewife complains that too many
regulations governing prices and rationing make

Eisenhower Rallies Europe
This Is America
By MARTIN F. OWENS

This is America: this is the day
When all who boast this priceless legacy
Lift up their troubled eyes to God and pray
For guidance through dread Gethsemane
This is America: God keep it so!
Please keep our hills unscarred the paths we roam
Bathed in the twilightS peaceful afterglow,
As children laugh across the fields of home
This is America: beware the hand
That seeks to steal the gifts God gave to you!
Who would enslave the people OF the land
And rape the precious dreams our fathers knew.
White crosses CLEAN distant hills tonight,
Where valiant youth gave all they had to give,
That Justice freedom and this sacred right
Which we accept stoicaLy might live.
