Truman Message on Russia

Senate Concurrent Resolution
II has opened at least a crack in
the Iron Curtain and the Con-
gress deserves the thanks Of free
people everywhere for this ac-
ton. We should now make every
possible constructive use of this
small opening in the barrier
which the Soviet government has
raised up against all free commu-
nication between it's peoples and
the outside world. If we do so,
We may be able to show the So
Wet peoples our real desire for
peace and our genuine efforts in
that direction. We may be able
to dispel, as least in part, the
distorted image of ourselves
which is conveyed to them by So
Wet propaganda.
For my part, I shall answer
President Shvernik's letter in the
near future. I shall ask that my
reply, like the Congressional res
olution, be made public in the
Soviet Union.
It is of immense Importance to
communicate the truth about the
purposes and intentions of the
United States to the peoples of
the Soviet Union, as well as to all
other peoples under the domina-
ton or the threat of domination
of Soviet imperialism. Therefore,
in addition to my letter I intend
to explore all other means that
will help to make such commune
cation possible.
Appeals for Full Amount.
I urge the Congress to do all it
can to contribute to this vital en-
deavor. Adequate appropriations
for the campaign Of truth, includ-
ing the Voice Of America. are
essential. I have requested an
appropriation of Sis million for
this purpose in this fiscal year.
The House of Representatives has
reduced this to $85 million. Such
action as this is obviously incon-
sistent with the purposes Of SEN
ate concurrent resolution II. II
the Congress expects to be sue
cessful in the battle for mems
minds, it must support a sus-
tanned and consistent campaign
for that purpose.
A slash in funds for the Voice
of America, coming at this time,
would have the effect of severely
damaging our efforts to reach
the hearts and minds of other
peoples. It would mean retreat in
the face of the mounting world
wide preSsures of Communist
propaganda. In the light of our
present situation. hope the Con-
|gress will restore the full amount
needed for our campaign of truth.
I trust the Congress will also
consider in what other ways it
can assist in correcting Soviet
distortions of the facts and in
furthering our campaign to reach
other peoples with true and ac-
Icurate information.

Reserve Navy Chap|ains
Ordered 10 Active Duty
By the Assoe;oted Press

The Navy is ordering a number
of Reserve chaplains to active
duty.
This is the first time chaplains
have been called up in the present
emergency on other than a volun-
tary basis. In all other Naval
Reserve groups some men already
have been ordered involuntarily

The Navy said today it is calling

Penfagon Permits Military
To Take Part-Time Jobs

Local military commanders have
been authorized by the Defense
Department to permit military
personnel to take part-time jobs
in agriculture and industry.
However, the public employ

certify that there is a local labor

not interfere with the regular work
of civilians.
The military personnel are per-
mitted to do part-time work while

HOME CHILDREN
ENJOY the FAIR
WITH VFW help

The forty children Of the Madi-
son County Children's Home were
given a wonderful time at the
Madison County fair this week
through the thoughtfulness of
Harry v. Christopher Post, Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars.
Members of the Post collected
$50 which they presented to Mrs.
Ray Andrews, matron at the home
to give the children money to
spend at the fair. Each child was
given a certain amount for rides
and to purchase whatever they
desired at the various conces-
sions. But not all was turned over
TO them for the fair.
Mrs. Andrews stated that a
part of the amount was kept out
to repair. the television which
has given the children so much
pleasure.
Monday afternoon Mrs. And
rews and 20 of the younger chill
dren took in the sights on the
grounds and Thursday evening
they were taken to see the Wild
Animal Show at the close of the
exposition.
The 20 Older children were ta-
ken to see the Ice Follies Sun
day night and the Hollywood Cav
alcade on Wednesday evening.
1T was an outstanding treat
for the children, and one they
will long remember. All the chill
dren and myself, are very CRATE
full to the members of the Post
for their generosity Mrs. And
rews said.

Governors Action Under
Removal Law Is Awaited

Whether or not Governor
Lausche will launch removal pro-
ceedings against sheriffs, prose-

der terms of the recently enacted
HB 1T, remains to be seen. The
House Bill is aimed at lax officials
Il was passed by the Republican
99th General Assembly in respon-
Sc to the Governors request.
Some persons, reputed to be
skeptical of the Governors sim
cerity in opposing gambling in
various Ohio cities, are now wait
ing to see what the Governor viii
do with this new power.
Action of the people could re-
move lax officials before enact

whom the charges are made.
Under the new law the Cover
nor is given the power to institute
the same proceedings without the
signatures of the qualified cleo
tors. Many Ohio prosecutors and
sheriffs opposed the measure, be-
iieving, it was said, that it was
an undue encroachment to the
power of the Governor into local
affairs.
For this reason the legislature
wrote into the law the right of
the accused officer to demand trial
by jury, and to require the charges
to be heard In the accused's own
community.
Grounds for removal of public
officials are: (t1 Wilfui and

Hearings on such charges must
be conducted within 30 days from
the date of the filing Of the COM

Then if one or more of the
charges in the complaint are found
true the court or jury must re-

Governor may bring charges, are
