mendous applause on the plat
form at the Bolshoi Theater,

freedom, faith in the certain tri-
umph of confidence over fear. Just
as long as we continue to face our
world responsibilities with the cour-
age and realism We have already
shown, we shall deserve the right to
hope-and work-for lasting peace.
Meanwhile, our efforts in search
of peace and security have not
spared us problems at home Not
only do the security needs of our
Nation seem at times to be in COM
petition with social progress, but
the attention we must give to weap-
ons of defense may obscure the fact
that the real basis of our strength
is a strong and active faith in
freedom. AS long as freedom re-
mains a force for human welfare,
men will cherish it in their hearts
and defend it with their lives. In
this present-day world where mans
personal independence is cramped
by the complexities of his economic
existence, 1t is the duty of Govern
ment to see that each citizen does
not lose faith in his ability to pro-
vide freely by his efforts for his
own welfare. We have revived the
belief of free peoples in themselves
in many foreign countries, and we
must continue to safeguard at home
the belief in ourselves and belief in
freedom as the greatest force for
human welfare.
Faith Put Above Armaments.
This is an age where faith In ones
self, faith In freedom, faith in the
kinship of man and God, are more
important to our survival than all
the might armaments of war.
AS these bells ring out their
hymns, they will proclaim that mes
sage of faith. AS long as they ring,
these honored dead may rest.
While faith lives, 50 does freedom.
While freedom lives, so does hope
of just and lasting peace

Text of 7run7on's Address

The tert of President Tru-
mans address at the dedication
of the carlton at Arlington
Cemetery yesterday tolloUs::
Here in Arlington National Gem
etery, in the presence OF our war
dead, we have come to consecrate
a carlton.
In their nightly hymn, the bells OF
the carlton will sing OF our faith
in the kinShip of man and God.
Each time they sing that faith,
they will proclaim our compact with
the veterans of our Nations wars
who gave their lives that our faith
might endure.
Our American heritage OF human
freedom is born of the belief that
man is created In the image OF God
and therefore is capable of govern
ing himself. We have created here
Government dedicated to the
dignity and the freedom of man.
1t is a Government whose creed Is
derived from the word of God, and
its roots are deep in our spiritual
foundations. Our democracy is an
expression of faith in the spirit Of
man, and it Is declaration OF
faith in man as created by God.
! More Precious Than Life.
On these spiritual foundations,
we have established a creed of self
government more precious to us
than life itself. These soldier graves
are a testament to this creed, for
these men died for it. While free
dom prevails, we-the living-shaI
keep our compact with these dead.
And as long as this Government
remains rooted in the dignity Of man
and in his kinship with God, free
dom will prevail.
If man could achieve self-govern-
ment and kinship with his God
throughout the world, peace would
not tremble in the constant dread
of war. Mankind is exhausted
from the ordeal of conflict. All
men are sick Of blood-letting and
hunger, and weary Of the trouble
suffered for so many years. II we
could mobilize world opinion among
all men who walk the earth, there
would never be another war.
This we cannot do alone. For
the earth is deeply divided between
free and captive peoples. There is
no appeal to the brotherhood of
men who live in daily fear of the
concentration camp. Until the cap
tive peoples of the world emerge
from darkness, they cannot see the
hand we hold out in friendship.
While they are made to respond
to our handclasp with a mailed
fist, we have no choice but to stand
ready in self-defense.
Freedom Prized Most.
Much as we prize peace and
friendship, we prize freedom more.
And much as we trust in God, while
He is rejected by so many in the
world, we must trust, also in our
selves. In an age where peace must
be protected, we must resort to our
own strength to hold aggression at
bay. When goodwill prevails and
peace comes to the earth. 1t will
come because we have had the
resolution to hold fast through
perilous times, and we have had the
courage to share our resources with
other nations who believe in free
dom. BY generous sharing of our
material goods in the past few years.
we have restored to many peoples
faith in themselves, faith in their

u. 5. Told 10 Produce
$50 Wiretap Discs
AT Cop|on Hearings
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-The Gov
ernment has been ordered to pro-
duce $50 discs Of recorded CONVEX
sations of Judith Coplon, accused
of plotting espionage with Russian
Engineer Valentin A. Gubitchev.
Federal Judge Sylvester Ryan
directed yesterday that the discs
be brought into court. as defense
attorneys pressed their pre-trial
efforts to get the case thrown out
on grounds that it is based on IL
legal wire-tap information.
The recorded conversations were
obtained by the FBI by placing
microphone recorders in the JUS
tice Department office where Miss
Coplon formerly worked. and by
tapping her telephone in Wash
ington and at her Brooklyn home.
Tapped Talks With Lawyer.
The Government has admitted
that the FBI had 40 men assigned
to tap telephones of Miss Coplon
and Gubitchev, but it maintains
the case is not based on evidence
obtained in this way.
An FBI agent, James J. Lynch,
testified yesterday that Miss Cop
Ions telephone wire was tapped
even when she talked to her law
yer long after her arrest in New
York March 4. He said he inter-
cepted her calls from February l
to May 2. and also tapped Gubit-
chev's telephone during that
period.
Another agent. Daniel L. Gum,
said he was listening in on Miss
Coplon's calls as late as last Au-
gust 10, long after she was tried
and convicted in Washington on
charges related to those she faces
here.
She was sentenced to 40 months
to 10 years in prison in that case
for removing secret Government
information She Is appealing
that sentence.
Trial Delayed Again.
The charges here accuse her and
Gubitchev of conspiring to chan
mel United States secrets to
Russia.
The oft-postponed trial was de-
layed again yesterday. after Judge
Ryan held that the pre-trial hear
ing would last past the scheduled
December q opening date.
He did not set another date.
but said the trial would begin
two days after the hearing ends.
Late in the day yesterday, Miss
Coplon's attorney, Archibald Pal
mer, failed in a move to have
Harold Shapiro. a Justice Depart
ment lawyer. brought here for
examination.
At Miss Coplon's Washington
trial, she admitted that she spent
nights with Shapiro in hotels and
apartments, but denied immoral
conduct

Record Corn Crop
Seen For Farmers
Continued from Page -

continued from Page ID
picked thus far has been for cat
tie and hog feed. Farmers pick
ing corn report a very high quail
ity yield.
Upon closer examination of
their fields many farms report
more water damage than they
had expected Some of the corn
was never cultivated due to the
wet spring. No one section of the
county reports a noticeable bet
ter or worse stand than the rest
of the county. The spring rains
were well distributed and there
was no damaging dry spell here
as in some neighboring counties.
Although some fields are poor
others have perhaps the best
stand of corn on them in many
years. In a small area tested
with a DeKalb hybrid, Millard
Stillings, of near Milford Center,
reports an estimated yield of l24
bushels per. acre. This was cal
culated by taking the yield in a
small piece on land and comput-
ing it for an acre. Many fields
in the Darby Plains area in the
southern part of the county will
have yields of 5000 bushels per
acre.
Much Borer Damage
No accurate check has been
made on the moisture content to
determine how low it is but sin
gle ear checks have shown a test
as low as l6 percent This is not
too accurate as anauger sample
should be taken from the crib
for good cross section.
More corn borer damage is
turning up this year due to the
open winter. The borers inhabit
old corn stalks on top of the
ground during the winter. Using
stalk munchers to break up the
stalks has achieved some sue
cess and DDT has been used to a
small extent.
Ralph Brust, Union Township
farmer, had 70 acres sprayed
from an airplane and good re-
suits were reported. This method
is too expensive for widespread
use.
CONTROLLED Planting Best
The theory of controlled plant
ing dates is perhaps the most
practical solution to the growing
problem. This calls for planting
between May Is, date of the
first Matching of the borer eggs
and June Is, date of the second
Matching. This way the corn
shoots miss the attack of the bor-
ers at the most crucial period in
the life of the corn shoot.
Champaign County, on the
other hand reports corn crop
definitely inferior to last year
The corn borer took its toll in
that county and it is causing a
lot of worry there. Also there
was a severe spell in July just
when the corn ears were shoot
ing and that cut down the yield
per acre.
