Marked by a pagentry missing
during the DAR's absence from
Washington at convention time,
the Congress got underway with a
keynote address from Gen. Eisen-
hover, Army Chief Of Staff.
Gen. Eisenhower repeatedly under
lined the duties of the individual
citizen in a democracy. At one point,
he spoke of each persons respon-

order"
collectively" he said, 1--WE cannot
promote cooperation abroad unless
we, here at home, cooperate as in
dividuals for the good of the entire
country"
Hits at "Viclous Cults"
Pointing out that the security
provided by armed forces is limited
to protection from external attack
by violence, Gen. Eisenhower said
armed forces could not protect the
country from more insidious form
of attack"
There are vicious cults" he said,
that seek in termite fashion to
destroy the foundations established
by Magma Carta, the Declaration OF
independence, the American Con-
stitution. They recognize as our
primary strength the unity of our
people and SO use every plausible
argument to create division. In
dustrially, socially, politically, they
seek to divide and confuse"
He added it was clear, however,
that, so long as these cults have no
more than their own manufactured
falsehoods as ammunition, they are
bound to fail. He said their real
chance comes from failure of Amer
leans to live up to the true principles
on which their country was founded.
The enemies of our system, he
said, would encounter defeat if eve
insistently reject any doctrine that
acknowledges disparity of right
based upon class, race or creed

In farewell address, Mrs. Tai
madge called on every OAR member
to constitute herself a committee of
one ''to oppose by every means with
in her power the infiltration of Com
teachers in our schools and
colleges and to combat the spreading
Of Communistic poison in the minds
Of our young students"
Mrs. Tamadge made it clear that
the OAR stands solidly behind an
