audience of 10000, Gen. Eisenhower
was installed yesterday with ancient

that "today's challenge to freedom
and to every free institution is such
that none of us dares stand alone"
For human freedom is today
threatened by regimented statism.
The threat is infinitely more than
that involved in opposing ideologies.
Men of widely divergent views
in our own country live in peace to-
gether because they share certain
common aspirations which are more
important to them than their diff
ferences.
None Can Be Neutral.
"But democracy and the police
state have no common purposes. In
today's struggle, no free man, no
free institution can be neutral.
"An must be joined in a common
profession-that of democratic citi-
zenship: Every institution within
our National structure must con-
tribute to the advancement of this
profession"
Delegates from $40 American COL
leges and universities, So foreign in
stitutions, "a learned societies and
presidents of 223 colleges were in
the audience.

"J0HNNY O'CLOCK, :" FEAST ACTON FILM, 'IS ON CApiT0L'S BILL

The checkered career of one of, the most fascinating characters in years provides the colorful material for Columbia's absorbing melodrama, Johnny O'Clock" co-starring Dick Powell and Evelyn Reyes, which is the feature at the Capitol Theatre.
 Powell, in the title role of a brash, young gamtler, the despair of both the police and women, plays his part with obvious relish. He gives racy performance that will earn high praise frcm audiences. Evelyn Reyes co-stars as the gamblers lady.
 Robert Rossen, who directed from his own screenplay, has whipped up treakneck action in story that is crammed with two murders, Q ma chine gun ambuscade, some brisk iisticuffs and the narrowing chase of a detective after his quarry
