Threaten Boycott

At a convention of the Parent
Teachers Association of the Ottawa
Archdiocese, Bishop John c. Cody
of London called for action on the
part of parents. The PTA is MAX
ing a survey and warning offend
ing newSstandS to desist or suffer
the consequences in loss of busi.
ness.
Charlotte Whitton, Mayor of Ot.a
wa, who attended the convention
banquet as a guest, later took Wig
orous action at a meeting of the
Ottawa City Council. Miss Whitton,
who is an Anglican, declared:
"The kind of books found on our
newsstands represents one of the
most vicious and perniciouS things
in our life today" These books are
destructive of decency and moral
ity," Mayor Wilton said.
She told of vital interest in this
matter on the part of the Parent
Teacher groups of the Catholic
Schools and the Home and School
groups of the Public Schools.
"FiLthy Stuff"
"The saddest part is that our
young children who go to the cor
ner store for candy or gum are ex-
posed to this filthy stuff appearing
on the newSStands," Mayor Whit
ton went on.
II ask every member of Council
to enlist in the cause of seeing that
the Criminal Code is amended to
stop this sort of thing"
Ottawa City Council unanimously
endorsed the mayors stand. The
City Council of Kitchener, Ont.
took similar stand.
Following the Ottawa Council
meeting, Archbishop Alexander
Vachon of Ottawa sent his congrat-
ulations to the Mayor and Council.
Archbishop Vachon urged strong
support for revision of the Grim
inal Code to prohibit the sale of
"salaciouS literature which inun-
dates our city in an ever increas-
ing flood"

Stevenson Speeches at San Antonio on Alamo and Korea

That is why I tell you bluntly
that there is no easy escape
from all our troubles. there is
no cheap and painless shortcut
to peace. We are engaged in a
conflict with forces of darkness
which have engulfed 700 million
human souls. We confront an
enemy who is crafty, implacable,
and far stronger than any foe
America has ever known.

Whining Politicians
Subject of Contempt

For this reason I have nothing
but contempt for those whining
politicians who try to tell us
that the American people don't
know what they are fighting
for and have been fighting for
more than $50 years. When
they tell us the struggle in Ko-
rea is unnecessary and mean
ingless, then they ask us to
deny the very meaning of
America itself. Their craven
words mock the men of the
Alamo and our sons in Korea
who are defending the same
ancient ideal.
It would be easy. and perhaps
1t would be politically smart,
for me to hint obscurely that
there is some quick and simple
way to end this struggle. It
would be pleasant If I could tell
you that we can safely withdraw
and leave all the fighting to the
AsianS or the Europeans. But
I will leave such deceptive sug-
gestions to some one else. I do
not come here to Texas to fight
for votes with spears Of straw
and swords of ice.

something even more important
AN increasing self-respect and
dignity for all Americans in
every walk of life.
These accomplishments of the
Democratic Party are a kind of
good neighbor policy within our
own borders. matching the good
neighbor policy in foreign af-
fairs which was first started by
President Roosevelt.
The work is far from finished.

the vigor and dedication I can
command but this is something
which can only be done If we
all work at it together.

There are many other debts
which America owes to the

them Is the debt of gratitude

brief moment we have to those

the welcome you deserve. Your
lot has often been harder than
it should have been. And so
you have q special interest in
the programs which have been

Of our democratic administra-

replace slums with decent hous-

SAN ANTONIO, Ter., Oct. i8.
FOLLOWING are the tertS of taDo
addresses prepared for deliuery
in San Antonio today by Coo.
Adlai E. Stevenson:
Rally at the Alamo Plaza:
Like many who have made
this pilgrimage before me, I
stand before these battle-scarred
walls with a profound sense of
reverence and awe. For this is
a hallowed place. It has been
hallowed, to the extent that
mere human beings can sane
tify any place. by the unfalter-
ing sacrifice of life itself in a
noble and unself1sh cause.
The men who died here &C
cepted that fate by a deliberate
and clear-eyed decision. They
were under no compulsion of
military discipline. Each man
had to make the choice for him
self, supported only by God and
his own conscience. When Will
liam Barrett Travis drew a line
with the point of his sword on
the dirt floor, and invited all
who wished to die with him to
step across it, every hero in
that immortal company knew
exactly what he was doing -
and why. They knew that the
road to escape stretched clear
before them; and they refused
to take it. Even Jim Bowie,
crippled and i'll, asked his COM
rades to lift his cot across that
line of death.

Fowler Sees No Hope
Of Cut in Military
Funds-or Taxes

Defense Mobilizer Henry H..
Fowler yesterday held out no hope
for cut In military appropria-
tions - and hence in taxes -
next year.
Appropriation requests will be
placed before Congress, he said.
which will compare in size with
the huge appropriation Of the
present fiscal year."
Possibilities Of a cut in taxes
almost invariably are held de-
pendent on cuts in military ex-
penditure.
Mr.. Fowler said:
1T would be foolhardy, indeed.
to assume that because we have
surmounted the great majority
Of the most difficult obstacles
which have been placed in the
path Of our progress that we can
now pause and relax"
Mr.. Fowler'S statements were
made in a speech prepared for
delivery at Rolla. N. D.. and made
public here. He participated in
ceremonies at Rolla in connection
with breaking ground for CEN
ter at which Indians will be en-
ployed in making jewel bearings.
They are needed for airplane in-l
struments and other military in
struments and time pieces.
Mr.. Fowler said that next years
program will give rise to new pro-
duction, scheduling and planning
problems.
Greater plant capacity is need
ed for some specialized items" heI
said. He added:
I'VE must continue our research
and development of new weapons
on q long-term basis. In al
world Of many great uncertainties
we can be certain Of one thing
that our potential enemy will
not relent In his own efforts to
develop weapons and equipment
superior to our own.

Men of Alamo Gained
Immortality by Courage

This story will never be for
gotten so long as any American
gathers his children about him
to read them our immortal lit
erature and tell them of the
spirit which has made this coun-
try great. In the truest sense,
the men Of the Alamo will never
die. They will live forever in
the memory of free men, for
they forgot themselves into i'm
mortality with a courage of no
ordinary sort.
This kind Of martyrdom--
this sacrifice by deliberate
choice-is possible only when
men are caught up by a truly
magnificent ideal. Men do not
die that way for selfish interest.
The Texans who stood together
inside these walls were not
fighting for mere property. or
self advancement, or personal
glory. Their cause was not
simply q struggle between two
nations. as many people wrong
ly believe. On the contrary,
many men Of Spanish blood
such as Enrique Esparza, Juan
Seguin, and Lorenza de Zavala
stood shoulder to shoulder
with Travis, Houston, and Aus
tin in the crusade which found
its climax on this spot.
They understood that they
were fighting for something
more precious than nationhood.
They were fighting for an idea
the idea Of human freedom.

Stains Goal Described
As Conquest of Mind

~ SOssH0SSs W sVhtfO
Like Santa Ana, he is an enc
my who offers no quarter. He
cannot be appeased; he can
never be bought off by the sur
render Of territory or by the
betrayal Of some trusting ally,
even if we were capable of such
treachery. For his aim is total
conquest-not merely of the
earth, but of the human mind.
He seeks to destroy the very
idea of freedom, the concept of
God Himself.
Such and enemy cannot be
defeated by name calling, by
character assassination. by the
sowing of distrust among our
own people. He cannot be shooed
away with the republican brand
of political DDT, guaranteed
to contain no taxes, no anxiety,
and no effort.
If any man promises you q
soft path to the future-if he
invites you to vote for him. and
then relax in a tax-free para
dise-then beware. In times of
crisis our leaders have not
promised beguiling comforts.
Like William Travis. they have
led you, invited you. across that
line which Is the mark Of great

great watershed periods of his

pattern of civilization for many
