Truman Aware Of All Criticisms
Plans Frank Explanation to the Nation Why He Refuses
To Discharge Aides Under Fire on Capitol Hill

by the political opposition with
wrong-doing.
The President Is described as
confident also that he is right
from a practical point of view.
He says that if he yields now
when there has been no trial.
no indictment even. much less
a verdict. there will never be
an end to the persecution which
members of his administration
will suffer,
All that 1t will be necessary to
do, he insists, is to get an in
vestigation started on the Hill
this isn't hard, he thinks
name your target and charge.
charge, charge. If a President
can be intimidated by such
means, in Mr.. Truman's opinion.
intimidation will become the
order of the day and no self
respecting person will be will
ing to work for the Govern
ment.
The President speaks with
deep feeling on this aspect; he
knows how hard it is to get good
men to come to Washington and
stand the gaff. On this score
he can get backing: the men
who have left their private
concerns to help in the war ef-
fort speak bitterly of the same
thing. Many refuse to risk it.
Mr.. Truman's version does not
mention that his problem might
be lessened if his appointees
were of a higher caliber. Per-
haps it is a vicious circle. Since
his people are vulnerable they
will be attacked and he cannot,
once they are attacked, yield
on the principle.

For the first time In our his

We are participating for a new

ated SO that it may be preserved
and strengthened to start q new

We want to preserve it and
must preserve it to carry out
the great purpose for which it
was formed-and under our
leadership. That purpose is to
establish justice under a uni
versal law Of nations and thus
to keep the peace of the world.
Such law. like laws in our own
communities, States and Ma

violators If peace is to be MAIN

today is carrying out that es-

Question, however. is how it is
possible to eat SO worth of food

what the budget data says these

Making another calculation, the
Senator figured it would use up all
the income taxes paid by the heads
of l02 average families to meet
this bill of. $24,875.

and practical as the war that
was fought-the Civil War
to preserve that Union from an
attempt to destroy it.
It is peculiarly appropriate,
because Of our own experience
as a Nation, that we took the
lead to broaden our idea into
a union Of all nations, and that
we are now taking the lead in
protecting and preserving that
union which is the only hope
of the world.
It Is as yet an imperfect
union and it has moved, as
yet slowly, toward something
better. It took our Nation sever
years Of fumbling and stumbling
in q loose confederation of
States under the Articles of
Confederation to wake up to
the need Of a stronger union,
and we moved to achieve that
stronger union in our Consti-
tuition. A cynical world looked
on obviously. We are not yet
seven years from that day in
San Francisco in 1945 when the
new union Of nations was pro-
claimed to the world. Cynics
likewise were doubtful of that.
But, considering the obstacles.
the necessary adjustments in
the minds Of men, we really have
come very far in six years.
Above all, the union met its
first test-the first attack on
its integrity.
The United Nations must go
further and be made stronger.
Through Korea 1t can. It will,
II we try to understand Korea
and take a look forward as we
honor today those who have
given their lives for world union,
the next great and inspiring
adventure Of humankind.

that they were serving God In
Kidding England of the lustful
and corrupt monarch. And they
won against what In those days
was considered overwhelming
odds.
Lack of faith in our own
strength now is perceptible in
Washington, too. This reporter
heard most painful speeches on
the floor Of the Senate two
weeks ago. One Senator, who
carried on the administrators
fight against the strategy Of
Gen. Macarthur, took the floor
to warn his colleagues that we
must exert the utmost caution
in dealing with the atheistic
enemy in the Far East. lest

1t was a painful demonstration.
not of lack of faith in God but
of faith in ourselves. The two
go together. George Washing
ton went down on his knees and
prayed before going to battle
in the darkest hour Of our coun-
try. He suffered setbacks, but
eventually won because he and
his men believed in God and
the cause for which they were
fighting.
It might possibly be useful II
some of our own Senators and
Representatives decided to join
the 1880 groups which have
adhered to Mr.. LHereux'
Prayer for Peace" movement.
Prayers alone may not give us
peace when we are fighting q
goddess enemy. But prayers
will give us that confidence In
ourselves which so many of our
leaders seem to lack at present
and will lead us to final victory
and lasting peace.

with no support but his own
deep religious belief. a Prayer

It was launched modestly on
October 2S. 1948, by a group Of
American war veterans at Man
chester, N. H. It is a simple
idea: All those having COM
plete confidence in God pause
for a minute in the midst Of
their daily tasks and pray for
guidance from the Almighty.
This unadyertised movement,
which has no financial back
ing. has gained momentum rap
idly. In, August, 1850, more
than 1900 organizations, made
up Of people Of all creeds. had
pledged themselves to this
simple observance. BY the end
Of April, 1851. the number OF
groups which had indorsed this
movement had risen to 1880.
The movement has spread by
word Of mouth, and without
fanfare or publicity. The prin-
cipal followers are veterans Or
ganizations, which number 835.

Fundamentally The present
world conflict is one between
atheism and faith IN God. The
basic creed OF communism Is the
denial Of God and recognition of
rank rnaterialism. When Lenin
came into power In Russia he
attacked first the places Of wor-
ship and their ministers.

Dovid Lawrence:

Sometimes 1t takes a month
or more to catch up with offi-
cial propaganda and demon
strate some Of its untruth. BY
that time impressions and pref
udices have been formed and
the propaganda has taken effect.
Yet. In the interest Of truthful
reporting, the inaccuracies and
misleading statements have to
be exposed. no matter when the
facts become available.
From one end Of the country
to the other on the morning Of
April 90, newspapers were giv-
en- a sensational statement over
which most of them quite nat
urally put q big headline on
their front pages. It was the
morning after Gen. Macarthur
had addressed Congress. and
the administration was anxious
to Offset the favorable impress
sion the general had made on
Capitol Hill. In his address he
had said that his views on what
should be done In Korea-he
gave four main points-were
shared in the past by the Joint
Chiefs of staff.
The administration made no
comment at that time on the
four points, but it did issue a
prepared statement endeavor-
ing to create the impression that
the Joint Chief of Staff had ini-
tiated the souster of Gen. Mac
Arthur. The full text OF that
statement read as follows:
I'm response to inquiries from
the press concerning Gen. Mac
Arthur's reference to the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. q Pentagon
spokesman said that the White
House had authorized him to
state that the action taken by
the President in relieving Gen.
Macarthur was based on the
unanimous recommendations Of
the Presidents principal civilian
and military advisers. including
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The
reasons for Gen. MacArthur's
relief have been stated pre-
yiously by the President"
Here is the verbatim COM
ment on this as made by Gen.
Collins, Chief of STAFF Of the
United States Army and a
member Of the Joint Chiefs Of
Staff, testifying under oath be-
fore the Senate committee:

Pentagon. It still remains In
the minds of many people as
an official pronouncement. It
is still being used as ammuni-
tion throughout the country by
$4,000 workers in the Demo-
cratic Party's national organi-
zation.
Misleading statements have
also been widely disseminated
concerning the four points
mentioned by Gen Macarthur
In his address to Congress. His
exact words were that from a
military standpoint the above
views have been fully shared in
the past by practically every
military leader concerned with
the Korean campaign. including
our own Joint Chiefs Of staff. "
Efforts have since been made
by administration Senators at
the hearing to claim that the
views Of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff
were offered only when it looked
like evacuation from Korea
might be necessary and that the
much discussed January IL
memo Of the Joint Chiefs was
only a staff study" and that it
was subsequently superseded
when our troops were able to
stay In Korea. Here is some
verbatim testimony on that
issue:
Senator Hickenlooper:: Was
Gen. Macarthur ever notified
any time after January IL up
until his release that the Joint
Chiefs of Staff were Withdraw
ing any of those proposals?
Gen. Collins: We Withdrew
none of these proposals. We
haven't Withdrawn them right
now"
Gen. Collins reiterated the
same point in answering ques-
tions Of Senator Morse Of Ore
gon, who inquired whether he
had changed his mind about the
January IL proposals. He said
he had not and that the real
question was solely one of tim
ing-when to put the recon-
mendations into effect. This is
far from a contradiction of
Gen. MacArthur's declaration
that from a military stand
point" his views as to what
should be done "have been fully
shared in the past" by the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff.

Doris Fleeson:

President Truman is seriously
considering making speech to
the country In frank explana-
ton Of why he refuses to dis
charge the members of his ad-
ministration who have been
brought under fire on Capitol
Hill.
Briefly stated, the President
feels that he is fighting a great
battle for the rights of the in
diyidual. He sees himself as a
stanch constitutionalist devoted
to the bill of rights, a protector
Of the sacred judicial concept
that a man is innocent until he
Is proved guilty
Mr.. Truman believes that
when the American people
understand that he Is standing
on principles vital to their in
olVloual dignity ana their rights
before the law they will support
him. He thinks that Senator
Mccarthy and others, for un-
worthy political reasons, have
deliberately be-fogged these
principles while his own motives
have been misrepresented.
The Presidents position was
stated In confidence by an
authoritative source in reply to
insistent questions about why
MIR. Truman jeopardized his
prestige for the sake of an

ator singled out the State Depart
ment's exchange-of- persons pro-
gram. under the title, "Interna-

He said he found, under this
heading. one item of $31,875,
which was described as:
"(A) Entertainment within the
United States, at an estimated cost
OF $24,875. and (B) transportation
Limousine and taxi service), news
papers, publications and SO forth
for orientation and service centers
at an estimated cost of $1,000, for
a total of $3l.875."
Luncheons for 375.
Further on, he said the justiflca-
tion submitted in support of the
estimate stated that 679 leaders
and specialists will visit the United
States during the coming year. OF
this number, the department esti-
mated that luncheons will be given
Tor 375. Senator Ferguson then
quoted the departments justifica-
ton as giving the following break
down:
l. Seventy-five regular lunch
cons. IA persons per luncheon at
$l25. $9,375;
2. One hundred luncheons, for
three grantees each, Is persons
per luncheon at $155, $15,5O0.
