NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-Fol-
louino is the transcript OF the
ertemporaneous statement
made yesterday By President
elect Dwight D. Eisenhower on
his return from Korea. as re-
leased by EisenhoUer'S head
quarters here:
Well, my friends. as you know
I often stated my purpose for
going to Korea was to look and
to listen and to learn. Now
there was one-a very enjoy
able feature-of this trip, and
that was the obvious welcome
from our own troops. I even had
lunch one day with a battalion
that I used to command many
years ago. And this company
of mine just out Of the line,
gave me lunch-and while the
weather was something like
zero, it was a very, very fine
time.
Now, of course, the opera
tion out there Is a United Ma
tions operation, and so I didn't
go out to try to tell them how
they should run that particular
business, that activity. I went
out to see American troops, the
American services. And want
to report right now that they're
doing as fine a job as you people
could possibly ask. 1t is the
most splendidly clothed. cared
for army that I think we've
ever put in the field. Their
clothing makes them almost
impervious to that winter
weather. but it is hard going.
It's a force that isn't the wise
cracking force, I think, OF
World War II.
1t isn't the singing force Of
World War I. But they're young
men that know they're out there
doing a serious job and they're
doing it without whining and
without complaining.
Now, as you know. many Of

especially to those whose loved
ones are in Korea.
The American Army in Korea
today is as fine a fighting force
of its size as our Nation has ever
assembled. It is splendidly
equipped for that climate. The
morale of our men is steady and
good. The spirit of unlf1cation
among the branches of our
armed forces is superlative.
For the competence and cour-
age the Republic of Korea's own
fighting forces, so finely trained
by Gen. James A. Van Fleet, I
heard only the highest praise
from all United Nations COM
manders. My own inspection of
some Korean units completely
confirmed this estimate. ROKS
they are called by their COM
rades-and rocks they are. They
are the fighting symbols of a
people whose vitality and re-
silence are tributes to the spirit
of freedom.

knowledge; the question is, have
we the will to apply It?

knowledge: the question is, have
we the will to apply it?
Whether we will preserve and
extend popular liberty is a very
serious question. but, after all,
it is a very old question. The
men who signed the Declaration
faced it. So did those who
wrote the Constitution. Each
succeeding generation has faced
it, and so far each succeeding
generation has answered, yes.
am sure that our generation
will give the same answer.
So I confidently predict that
what we are doing today is plac-
ing before the eyes of many
generations to come the symbols
of living faith. And, like the
sight of the flag "in the dawn's
early light" the sight of these
symbols will lift up their hearts,
so they will go out of this build
ing helped and strengthened and
inspired.

motto on our Liberty Bell, ''Pro-
claim liberty throughout all the
land unto all the inhabitants
thereof" is from the book of
Leviticus. which is supposed to
have been written nearly 1,5O0
years before Christ. In the 35
centuries since that date, the
love Of liberty has never died,
but liberty itself has been lost
again and again.
We find it hard to believe that
liberty could ever be lost in this
country. But it can be lost, and
1t will be. If the time ever comes
when these documents are re-
garded not as the supreme ex-
preston of our profound belief,
but merely as curiosities in glass
cases.
Today, the ideals which these
documents express are having
to struggle for survival through
out the world. When we sealed
the Declaration and the Consti-
tuition in the Library of Con-
gress. almost a year and a half
ago, had something to say
about the threat of totalitarian-
ism and communism. That
threat still menaces freedom.
The struggle against commu-
rism Is just as crucial. just as
demanding. as it was then.
We are uniting the strength
OF free men against this threat.
We are resisting Communist
aggression and we will continue
to resist the Communist threat
with all our will and all our
strength.
But the idea of freedom is in
danger from others as well as
the Communists. There are
some who hate communism, but.
who. at the same time, are un-
willing to acknowledge the
ideals Of the Constitution as
the supreme law of the land.
They are people who believe it
IS too dangerous to proclaim
liberty throughout all the land
to all the Inhabitants. What
these people really believe is
that the Preamble ought to be
changed from I'VE. the people"
to read. Some Of us-some Of
the people Of the United States,
but not including those we dis
approve of or disagree with-do
ordain and establish this Con-
stitution."
Whether they know 1t or not,

Visited Forward Areas,
Talked With Soldiers

So far as time allowed, I
visited your sons and brothers
and husbands in the forward
areas of Korea. I spoke with
some of our fighter pilots doing
daily battle over the war zone. I
talked with the naval officers
and sailors of the Cruiser Hell
ena, engaged for the last several
months in almost daily support
of the battle line.
We were able also to see some
of the units from other members
of the United Nations-Austra-
liza, Belgium, Canada, Colombia,
Ethiopia, France, Great Britain,
Greece, the Netherlands, New
Zealand, the Philippines. Thai
land, Turkey. They are fine SOL
diers all, and their combat rec
ords are worthy of their coun-
tries proudest traditions.
What I can publicly report is
naturally limited. Until I as
sumo the Office of the Presi-
dency, it would be wrong for me
to pretend to speak with the
authority attaching to that
office. Moreover, as we all know,
certain aspects of battle prob
lens cannot ever be discussed
publicly.
I can, however. state a few
facts that should be meaningful
to all the American people. and
Evening star., 1952-12-15
Constitution Is a Force
Stronger Than Words

You can read about the Con-
stitution and you can study it
in books. but the Constitution
is not merely a matter of words.
The Constitution is living
force-it is a growing thing.
The Constitution belongs to
no one group of people and to
no single branch of the Govern
ment. We acknowledge our
judges as the interpreters of the
Constitution. but our Executive
branch and our Legislative
branch alike operate within its
framework and must apply it
and its principals in all that
they do.
The Constitution expresses an
idea that belongs to the people
the idea of the free man.
What this idea means may vary
from time to time. There was
a time when people believed
the Constitution meant that
men could not be prevented
from exploiting child labor or
paying sweat-shop wages.
We no longer believe these
things. We have discovered
that the Constitution does not
prevent us from correcting So
cial injustice, or advancing the
general welfare. The idea of
freedom which Is embodied in
these great documents has over
come all attempts to turn them
into a rigid set of rules to sup
press freedom.
AS we look toward the fu-
ture. we must be sure that what
we honor and venerate in these
documents is not their words
alone, but the ideas of liberty
which they express.
We are engaged here today
in a symbolic act. We are en-
shrining these documents for
future ages. But unless we keep
alive in our hearts the true
meaning of these documents,
Evening star., 1952-12-15
Must Be Enshrined
In Hearts and Minds

The Constitution and the
Declaration can live only as long
as they are enshrined in our
hearts and minds. II they are
not so enShrined, they would be
no better than mummies in their
glass cases, and they could
in time become idols whose wor-
ship would be a grim mockery
of the true faith. Only as these
documents are reflected in the
thoughts and acts of Americans
can they remain symbols of q
power that can move the world.
That power is our faith in
human liberty. The faith is i'm
mortal, but it is not invincible.
1t has sometimes been aban-
doned, it has been betrayed, it
has been beaten to earth again
and again, and although it
has never been killed, it has
been reduced to impotence for
centuries at a time. It is far
older than our Republic. The

what we are doing here could
prove to be Of little value.
We have treated the docu-
ments themselves with the ut
most respect. We have used
every device that modern SCI
ence has invented to protect
and preserve them. From their
glass cases we have excluded
everything that might harm
them. even the air itself. This
magnificent hall has been con-
structed to exhibit them, and
the vault beneath. that we have
built to protect them, is as safe
from destruction as anything
that the wit of modern man
can devise. All this is an hon
orable effort, based upon rev.
erence for the great past, and
our generation can take just
pride in it,
But we must face the fact
that all this pomp and circum-
stance could be the exact oppo-
site of what we intend. This
ceremony could be no more than
a magnificent burial. If the Con-
stitution and Declaration of In
dependence were enshrined in
the Archives Building. but no.
where else. they would be dead,
and this place would be only q
stately tomb.

OF man. We believe that man
should be free. And these docu-
ments establish a system under
which man can be free and set
up framework to protect and
expand this freedom.
The longer I live. the more
I am impressed by the sig
nificance of our simple Of
f1cial oath to uphold and de-
fend the Constitution. Perhaps
1t takes lifetime of experience
to understand how much the
Constitution means in our ma
tional life.

FLA Officers
Meet

STATE OFFICERS of Montana
Association of Future Farmers of
America met in Great Falls Aug. 8
to outline the state FLA program for
the 1928 school year. The group,
working with Art johnson, state
FLA adviser, scheduled visits to the
SO Montana chapters, suggested ways
to strengthen the state program and
made preliminary plans for the state
convention in Bozeman next spring.
The officers stressed the import
ance Of safe driving and farm and
home improvement and beautifica-
ton activities, and discussed inn
provement of the qualifications for
the State Farmer degree, the highest
honor given by the Montana FLA
association to local chapter members.
These qualifications include super
vised farm programs, cooperative
community service, leadership and
scholastic activities.

second, being of most independent

to smoke was upon them, vowed
that no insignificant roll of tobacco

I believe that if you tell your
friends. the next time you are asked
to explain why you do not wish to
smoke, "I do not wish to acquire
a habit that will cause me to be
in slavery to anything as trivial as
a cigarette" neither they nor you
need feel that you are not a free

Letters to the Editor
RANcHERS COULD GET
GOOD WORKERS

A COLUMN in a recent issue of
Montana Farmer-Stock1nan stated:
''The labor situation on farms and
ranches becomes critical about this
time of year. While owners gem
orally admit that in some cases men
can be found, most say that tram
sient laborers are inexperienced, not
interested in work, but that many
of them are experienced in the
ways and means of securing every
thing but water for drinking
purposes"
What you say is true, but it is
not the whole truth.
There are trained, efficient farm
workers available, if the ranch
owner were willing to pay as much
as other employers.
He walls that he can get only
inexperienced boys who will do
nothing but sit on tractor seat and
do not even know how to service
tractor or else confirmed old drunk
ards who cannot hold another job.
But I don't feel as sorry for the
rancher as I might We are ranch
ers ourselves. We have two Future
Farmer sons who have been care
fully trained. The younger one is
hiring out as an irrigator. He is
up at 4 a. m. to set the water and
out again after supper to make the
night set, while the boss's son is off
to the show. Our neighbor, who
has made a fortune in registered
Herefords, pays him $5 for a 16-
hour day.
The older boy is the current state
winner of the Future Farmers me-
chanics award. He is operating {
hydraulic stacker for another neigh
Dor. He took with him his portable
welder and often works late al
night so some piece will be ready tc
roll in the morning. His wages are
$5 a day. inexperienced workers

day comes.
Our town has a sawmill industry
One of the best ranch hands we
know is working there, making $2C
a day, with Sunday off to go fish
ing.
Our neighbor hires our boy anc
his saddle horse at branding time
cattle moving time and at shipping
time. He pays SIS a day. Anothel
rancher we know pays SIS for tn,
cowboy and $5 for his horse, but h,
is an exception.
These going wages" are the sam,
these ranchers paid in 1948 befor,
the price of cattle rose to the pres
ent high level.
It isn't that ranchers can't ge
good help; it is that they won't pa.
what such help is worth and cal
get elsewhere. And it isn't tina
they can't afford to pay more.-Mr.
B. D.. Wyoming.

newspapers said yesterday.
All the afternoon papers, with
close government connections, told
details of a plot to seize the gov

The bare fact that hundreds of
persons had been arrested for
questioning has been published
abroad but never here until now
The stories said the plot was
financed from abroad but did not
specify any country.

Friendship Citizens Debate
May Stir Up Note of Discord

There may be a slight discord
today to mar the usual harmony
among the Districts top brass.
The sour notes might be over
a little paint. Too little, it was
said in one quarter.
At last nights meeting of the
Friendship Citizens Association,
Traffic Director George E. Keneipp
was invited to speak. Before he
arrived, members took up their
old problem of parking near the
Naval Communications Station on
Nebraska avenue at Ward Circle.
One citizen declared he often
saw cars illegally parked there
by hydrants, across driveways and
too near the corner. And the
police, he said, never do anything
about it.

Another member arose in re-
buttal.

said Mrs. William M. Murray of

wrote my neighbor, Renah Cana
lier, about this parking. And he
wrote to the eighth precinct and

came out to see me. The police
man explained that there wasn't
enough yellow paint to mark the
curbs."
Mr.. Keneipp arrived then. In a

ARE YOU AGING?

On the last day of April, 1862,
it was news. The health level of
the United States was sagging
badly, according to the chairman OF
the Presidents Commission on the
Health Needs of the Nation, DR..
Paul B. Magnuson, but to US in
public health work this is not news.
But let US hope that when you read
that article in the morning paper
that you realized that that was the
kind of thing that we in the Mont
gomery County Committee on Ag-
ing have been trying to sell to the
citizens of Montgomery County.
We here in Montgomery County
are very lucky in having an active
and progressive health department.
Between 80 and 40 million other
Americans do not have this ad-
vantage. Can you realize what this
means in terms of sanitation alone?
Think of the water, sewage and
housing problems of those people
without health departments. We
are faced with some serious prob
lens of health in the rapidly grow
ing sections of our own country,
but we do have efficient people (but
not enough) in our health depart
ment who are trying to meet these
needs.
What about the 25 to % million
people of the United States who
are handicapped? We have our
share in Montgomery County. Are
they getting the attention they
need? Do we have out-patient de-
partments in our hospitals or pub
lie clinics sufficient to give them
all attention? If they are not en-
playable do they still get rehabili-
tstive treatment in our county?
What if there is a person in the
home of handicapped persons who,
Ii the patient were trained to take
care of himself, could be released
to do a OBJ in industry; could that
patient be rehabilitated through
the use of our present rehabilita-
tive program and release this po-
tential worker? How many people
past the retirement age could be
