Ounce Of Leadership
Worth Pound of Law

In this sensitive area of hui
man relations, we must always
remember that an ounce of
leadership is worth a pound of
law.
Fourth, we seek in America a
Government close to the people
and responsive to their needs.
In solving our problems. we want
7 to walk along other roads than
the road by the Potomac. We
are united behind the principle
Of decentralized Government as
opposed to the focusing of gov
ernmental power in Washington.
A Federal plan, a Federal blue
print, or a Federal administra-
tive order are certainly not the
only ways to deal with the
problems Of our daily lives.
These should be a last, and not
q first resort. For there are
many problems which the peo-
pie back home can solve better
for Observation-Disclosures in a
village, or in an urban center,
or in a State or wider region.
Where Federal action only can
do the job, we shall be prompt
and decisive in its Use.
These are some of the ele-
ments of a program around
which supporters Of our cause
can rally. I stand for them
with conviction.
In spite of the fact that my
roots were Republican. I had a
chance to become an active
Democrat when I came out Of
the Army. But I chose to stay
q Republican.
I knew that the different
points Of view Of which I spoke
tonight existed within the party.
But If we cannot have people of
different views in the same
party. how can you keep America
together.
If we are to have a world
without war: If we are to stop
this whiting away at the
value of the dollar; If we are to
pull out by the roots the causes
Of cynical corruption at high
and low levels; II we are to have
true equality among our citi-
zens: If we are to keep Govern
ment under the control Of the

Prosperity Without War
Is Prime Objective

We cannot tonight review our
whole program. But let's look
at a few principal parts Of it.
First, we seek q just and last.
ing peace for ourselves and for
the free world. To gain that
peace and see that it is not
broken. we must have frm pur.
pose. We must have strength
economic, military and of the
spirit. And we must, consistent
with our role in the world, seek
strong and self-reliant allies.
Second, we seek for America
a prosperity without war. We
reject the idea that prosperity
must depend on the production
Of armamentS or on a policy
Of deliberate, calculated infla-
ton. Already, the loss by half
in the buying power of our dol
lar has stripped from the wage
Garner much Of the increased
pay which he earns today. But
even worse, this steady shrink
age in the value of the dollar
robs him and his family, and
old people and widows through
out the land, Of the security to
which they are entitled. We
are determined to encourage
private programs for individual
security. We are also deter
mined to improve and extend
the Federal program Of social
security and pay its benefits in
honest dollars. 4e
Third, we seek in America q
true equality of opportunity for
all men. have no patience with
the idea Of second-class citizen

miniStration party has been
pointing to q promised land

ised land has always proved to
be q political mirage.
It is time that leadership was

ing and able to advance the
cause Of equality of opportunity.
To advance this cause there are
many things that we can and
must do. Vigorous action, in
cluding legislation, at local
levels can accomplish much.
The Federal Government must
help in a variety of ways. It
can establish machinery to de-
terInine the facts of discrimina-
ton and hold these facts up
for all the people to see. Segre-
CATION in the Nations Capital
must be abolished. Likewise
there must be an end to such
segregation as still remains in
the armed forces. In no opera
tion Of the Federal Government
is there a place for discrimina-
tion of any kind. We must
work for the abolition of re-
strictions remaining anywhere

Americans Fail to Get
What Democrats Piedqed

Why is 1t. you ask, that such
different elements wish to be a
part Of the Republican Party?
It is a good question for which
there is a good answer.
After all of these years Of
bumbling and stumbling, of
waste and dishonesty. of medi-
ocrity and mess, the great ma
jority of Americans know that
. they haven't been getting what
they were promised or what
they want. They have learned
that the present administration
talks peace, but doesn't pursue
it intelligently; that it talks So
cial security but so debases the
currency that social security is
just as debased: that 1t talks
fondness of labor, but feels free
to use the most compulsory Of
tactics against labor.
You have more money coming
in, but you can't buy as much
as even two years ago after
counting the cost of taxes and
imitation.

Mrs. Werner Defends
Endorsement Of Bill
Teacher Pay

Mrs. Stella Werner, Democratic
nominee for Congress from Mary
lands 9Th District, yesterday de-
Tended her Endorsement of the
recent Maryland teacher pay in
crease bill.
Her Republican opponent, State
Senator Dewitt S. Hyde, voted to
uphold the Governors veto of the
bill in the 1852 General Assembly
and at political meeting several
days ago said the legislation would
have placed an unfair tax burden
on Montgomery County.
Should Pay More.
my opponent sees the problem
of education only in terms Of
tax dollars Of a single county, his
and mine," said Mrs. Werner. "If,
in order to provide better educa-
ton for all children of the State,
lit is necessary for Montgomery
and Baltimore citizens to pay more
than other counties, believe they
should and do accept this re-
sponsibility." ......
The Democratic candidate de-
clared that it was unsound for
counties to compete with each
other for teachers.
She asserted that the teaching
profession should not be penalized
because Maryland has a bad as
sessTnent laW. It was because of
the higher assessments in Mont
gomery that the tax burden Of
the teacher salary law would have
been heavier in that county.
Law Needs Change.
Rather than limiting himself
to vote against the teacher salary
raise, my opponent could very
constructively have worked to Sc
cure an assessment law which
would be fairly administered, or
concern himself with securing for
the counties some of the taxing
power now held by the State
declared Mrs. Werner.
Her statement was made as she
to leave for Frostburg
and Cumberland. At noon today
she was to address the Women's
Civic League of Cumberland. To-
might she was to appear at a

This splinter party system Of
Europe, from which many Of our
citizens sought refuge in this
country, is what the Democrat
spokesmen recommend for us
Republicans. They most gen.
erously advise me which SEN

which I should disown. Just
what kind of people do these

Nothing could harm America

we have seen the development
of a new divisiveness in this
country. There has always been
a farm population, and people
working in factories, others
working in Offices. others in pro-
fessions. but until recent years
they never had tags put on them
by Government. They were
never classified as economic
blocs, one set against another
for political exploitation.
America was not supposed to
be like that.
Let me remind you that it
wasn't a Republican who
steered us OF the course by a
policy of divide and rule. It is
the administration party that
has ignored the wisdom Of the
founding fathers and their
warning against factions"
which could be cultivated for
political purposes.
A great American of our time,
the late Arthur H. Vandenberg,
was a stanch defender of this
doctrine that people must not be
