The Truman Doctrine
By HON. BRIEN MCMAHON United States Senator (Dem.), Connecticut

e.. Any charge that the proposed Greek and Turk sh policy bypasses the LIN is answered fully by the Van denberg amendment which, I understand has been cepted substantially by the Senate Committee Foreign Relations to the effect that the LIN by majority vote may take aid to Greece and Turkey and stop unaeral American aid.
 What the socalled Truman Doctrine amounts to is end appeasement of totataran aggression We not proposing to oppose Communist influence govern such France where the influence is the result of free elections We opposing aggression and that opposing Communism, only because and insofar as the 2 ana ns m are in such policy for peace is not easy to achieve with totaaran dictatorship since the foreign policy is inde pendent of any uniatera opposition We know from perence with Nazis that appeasement of totataran dc tatorshp certainly leads to policy of rmness which will stop aggression before it snowballs into world offers very much better chance of lasting peace We then work out reasonable relations with Russia the basis of security for her neighbors we'll for her, if entitled to freedom from the fear of aggression

Letters to Editor
 I51 Bill Avenue
 Groton, Connecticut Eastern Connecticut News Groton, Conn.
 Sir:
 Dr. L. Craig Lang is the spark who started a fire that is burn ing the veterans of this area into action. On Tuesday, April 18th there was very enthusiastic res ponse to a letter Dr. Lang had printed in the New London Day. Groton was well represented at the meeting. There were almost as many Vets from Groton as New London.
 At the first meeting the ground work was laid for the movement that can't help but draw all vets to act. The Vets are out to fight for the basic needs of all Veterans, such as, bringing industry to this area with the promise that the ve- terans will cooperate with the in dustry in matters vital to both.
 The vets are out to fight for a housing program that will give the over 900 unemployed vets work. and give Veterans the houses which are so Sorely needed. This is a non-political movement that hopes to get things done through the CO., operation of all societies in this area.
 They do not want to fight any, one and do not see any reason why it should be necessary.
 There Is no need for anyone to oppose this movement because it is for the good of the community. Those that oppose this movement are welcome to discussion of the differences of opinion to bring about the desired understanding of each others views.
 This is not a communistic or left iSt movement. It is not a national organization. 1t Is a community affair and the means by which all organizations can get together for the good of all. All veterans are urged to attend the meetings regardless of race, creed, or color or organization or party affilia- ton. 1t is what the veterans make it through their attendance at the meetings. This is not a program for some vets. It is a job for all vets.
 Movements of this type have worked wonders in other commu- mites. AS the saying goes, If you want to do something right, you've got to do it yourself"
 Go to the next meeting; your ideas and suggestions are wanted; your support is needed.
 It Is time to stop griping, and start acting. Because of the scope of the program, meetings are being held every Tuesday at 8 p. m., at 464 Pequot Avenue You cannot do anything if you aren't there. Be there
