TO PREVENT WAR

A vital point today is not to
yield to suggestions that world
war is inevitable. Our every eff
fort must be to prevent such a
war, by strength where that is eff
fective, by diplomacy where that
works, and at all times by trying
to make clear to the world that
the U. s. is dedicated to peace
and freedom for all mankind -

Miss Titus
Gives Talk
By Ruth Deon

The educational needs Of the
Nations children are being for
gotten in the bitter contest over
Federal aid to education, Miss
Mary Titus of the National Edu-
cation Association told the Dis
trict Federation of Women's Clubs
yesterday.
Addressing an all-day meeting
at the Hamilton Hotel, Miss Titus
shared the afternoon program
with Mrs. Lydia Ann Lynde, par
ent and family life extension
specialist with the Agriculture De-
partment.
Miss Titus pointed out that a
million children are expected to
be entered for the first time in
elementary schools next year, and
expressed the MEAS concern over
the dearth of qualified elementary
school teachers.
The NEA is working to get the
Burke bill for raising teachers
salaries reported to the House as
soon as possible, she declared. j
/ Mrs. Lynde described the educa-
ton program being carried out by
the Agriculture Departments ex-
tension service in the rural areas,
stresSing the care exercised to
avoid any form of control Of
State and county use of Federal
funds.
A letter from Chairman McMil-
Ian of the House District Commit
tee favoring national representa-
ton for the District as opposed
to "So-called home rule" was read
at the morning business session
by Mrs. Leslie B. Wright, national
legislation chairman of the Gen.
eral Federation Of Women's Clubs.
Mr.. Mcmillan, who acknowl-
edged receipt of a copy of the
March issue of the CIVIC Club
woman containing an article on
national representation, expressed
the opinion that "the majority of
Congress would support bill CIV
ing the people of the District the
right to vote for President and
Vice President and a delegate to
Congress.
The legislator opposed the Ke-
fauver bill for home rule, however,
declaring: II am certain that if
the people had any idea as to the
cost Of this proposed council to
the taxpayers of the District and
a number of other very important
arguments against this proposed
legislation, they would speak out
loudly"
Mrs. Edward c. Magdebur-
ger, District Federation president,

Dorothy
Dix

DEAR MISS DIX: I have been
married three years and my wife
and I are as happy as any two per-
sons can be. We are both OF a
gay, pleasure-loving nature and,
although we both work and earn
good salaries, we have not saved
cent. We live we'll. we dress
we'll, we 60 to theaters and restau-
rants and cabarets. But am be-
ginning to wonder whether it is
wise for us to spend all we make
having a good time while we are
young or if we should lay up some
thing for the future. ROBERT.
Answer: I think. Robert, that
any young couple who are earning
good money and who do not put
aside something for rainy day
are not only fools but dishonest.
They are fools because they de-
liberately delude themselves into
believing that they will always be
young, always strong and healthy,
always prosperous. Yet they know
that the sun does not always shine
for anybody. MisfortuneS come to
all. Sickness comes to all. Age
comes to all. To all comes the day
when they can no longer earn
money and when, unless they have
saved up enough to tide them over
the evil hour, they must come to
want and know the humiliation of
dependence.
1t is dishonest for men and wom-
en- who could lay up enough money
to support themselves not to do so,
because they rob other persons by
just that much. They eat their
cake and then force the rest of
us to divide our bread and butter
with them because we cannot let
them starve. The prodigals who
spend their substance in riotous liv-
ing always come back in the end
to graft their living of the thrifty
land industrious.

vigorously ahead with programs
and policies the validity of which
has been established by actual
test. We will redouble our efforts
to build situations of strength to
meet trouble wherever it threatens.
This is the effective counter to
Communist expansion.
1.-THE present difficulties arise
from the lawless and cynical con-
duct of the Communists who would
destroy peace and freedom. This
conduct requires us to add rapidly
to our military strength. We will
continue our efforts to work for
peace through the United Nations.
That is the kind of people we are
but we now, once again, must
see to our arms.
Economic aid will be carried
forward - although redirected
where necessary to contribute to
the military strength of the free
world. We will step up the inter-
national information program to
make sure that the ideals of free
men have full expression, that the
Soviet Union and its puppets are
constantly before the bar of world
opinion, and to present an &C
curate and factual Interpretation
of American action and intention.
Lesson of Korea Hits Home.
1--WE must strive to close the
ranks at home to obtain the
strength which derives from unity.
The two great parties must con-
tinue to consult with each other
on international affairs in order
to insure that American action will
have maximum possible bipartisan
backing.
f. The lesson of Korea has hit
home. We must rally to the sup
port of the President in his call
for rapid strengthening of our
national defenses and for ready
ing the full moral and material
strength of the Nation to guard
against the dangers that threaten
us. No sacrifices are too great
when the future of this Nation
is at stake.
"I am confident that if we dedi-
cate ourselves to a buildup of
strength in the months ahead,
we will come through this crisis.
We have the productive capacity,
the skill and the manpower that
are required. All that is needed
is the determination to do the
job. There will be no lack Of
will if we keep ever in mind dur
ing the new year that American
strength is the indispensable COM
ponent of world peace.
The great resources of this
country are now being marshalled
and the armed forces rapidly being
expanded. New weapons are being
forged which will be made avail
able to our own forces and to our
Allies. Meanwhile our Allies are
also increasing their military pro-
duction and building up their
armed forces.
Il am sure that this country,
together with the other free ma
tions, will create the strength
necessary to repel aggression, re-
store stability, and increase the
well-being of the free peoples of
| the world"
