He went on to say: The Krem-
lin should understand that, con-
trary to It's own propaganda, this
country is not weak and divided; !;
we are not in state of moral and
economic decay. Communist lead

generations of Americans have
fought, worked and sacrificed for
freedom, justice and well-being.
We always have resisted tyranny.
We are fighting against it now in
Korea.

He said of Russia:
"A nation which was our ally in
the war, a nation which our pro-
ductivity and the intervention OF
our arms saved from disaster, has
since the wars end, turned upon
us, violated her commitments to
us, poisoned the minds of nations
and of continents against us. and
openly confessed a purpose to de-
stroy us if she can. ...

ployers to consider the advantage

that employers look for in hiring
good workers"

tor of the National Association of
Manufacturers. also issued a
statement in connection with

There is no longer any question
as to the competence of workers
who are physically handicapped,
because we have seen that when
placed in jobs for which they are
properly trained, they become
satisfactory and valued employees" "
In a joint statement. six Cabi-
net members and four Federal
agency heads said "even greater
use of handicapped workers in the
difficult months and years that
lie ahead" is needed.
Plea OF Public Made.

should be "a period of thoughtful
reflection for all those concerned
with manpoWer."
1--WE ask all our countrymen,
particularly business and profess
sional men, to inform themselves
better on this subject so that they,
too. may benefit from the handi-
capped. Truly, America needs all
of U.S."
