Invasion of Korea
Made DANCER Clear

Just three weeks later, the
Communists invaded the Re-
public Of Korea. That made
the danger clear to every one.
The invasion Of Korea demon
strated to all free nations that
they had to have much stronger
defenses to prevent Communist
conquest.
AS a result, the free nations
have been moving forward since
the middle of 1850 to build
bigger defenses. Our own coun-
try has taken the lead, because
we are the strongest Of the free
nations.
We have made q lot Of prog
ress in these two years. We
have reached a number of the
goals we set for ourselves back
in 1850. We still have q long
way to go in many respects,
but II we stick to our course
we can create the kind Of strong,
free world that we need to guar
antee security and peace.
We can win peace. And we
are going to do it.
There has been q lot Of loose
talk lately to the effect that
our defense program has been
q failure. Much Of this talk
Is politically inspired-the kind
OF talk you would expect in
an election year. But I want
to set the record straight. I
want the people to have the
facts about our defense pro-
gram and our national security.
Let me give you some exam
pies. Two years ago we had an
Air Force Of 48 wings, with AGO.
600 men on duty and less than
5000 planes in active use. Now
we have an Air Force of 81
wings, with almost a million
men on duty and nearly $4,000
planes in active use. These fig
ureS refer to the Air Force only
and do not include the big build
up of air power in the Navy and
Marine Corps.
The goal we set in 1850 called
for a 95-wing Air Force by mid
summer 1852. Ninety-one Of
those wings are now operating,
with new and better planes COM
ing into service all the time.
Within two months. we expect
the four remaining wings to be
in operation also.

Army Doubled in Size
In Last Two Years

All we have done and are do
ing to build up our air power is
matched by our expanding land
power and sea power. The
United States Army has been
doubled in size these last two
years. And it is being re-
equipped with the finest modern
weapons. We are getting those
weapons now, in quantity. For
example, one of our best new
tanks Is now coming of the pro-
duction line at the rate of well
over 800 a n1onth-and the rate
Is rising very fast.
AS for the Navy. there are
twice as many ships in full
operation now as before Korea.
And our naval ships and weap-
ons are improving all the time.
There are some amazing new
technical developments in the
Navy. I shall have more to say
on that subject next week, up
in New London, Conn.
With all the progress we have
made, we still have a long way
to 60 before we reach the
strength we now consider neces-
sary to the national security. We
have just about reached the OBJ
jectives for this summer that
were set out two years ago,
when the mobilization program
first began. If we can do as well
In the next two years, we shall
have a right to be proud Of
ourselves.
Two years ago when I was
talking with you in st. Louis,
I said q good deal about the
need to help our allies build
UP their defensive power.
The study that was made by
the National Security Council
in 1850 made it perfectly plain
We could be secure against the
Communist menace only If
other free nations were secure
only If the strength Of our
allies was added to our own.
The North Atlantic Treaty
Organization was just getting
started at that time. To be
effective it needed many things.
It needed q more closely knit,
a more nearly unified Europe
behind it. And it needed real
arms and real fighting forces.

Text Of President Trunn Talk on National Defense to 35h Division Reunion

Here is the tert of President
Truman'S address at the re-
union OF the 35th DiDiSion in
Springfield, Mo-, today:
I am very happy to be with
you again. I always enjoy these
reunions. In my present posi-
ton, I get to review a lot of
parades. but this is about the
only place I ever get to march
in one.
When I was in st. Louis two
years ago. at the 30th reunion
of our division. I talked to you
about world peace, and about
the necessity of building up the
defensive strength of the free
nations. A great deal has hap
pened since then. Today, I
want to talk to you about the
progress we have made since
1850. And I want to point out
some of the dangers that now
threaten us.
When I talked to you on June
10, 1850, I told you how the
Soviet Union was threatening
the peace of the world. I told
you that the Soviet Union was
engaged in a tremendous mill
tary buildup, and that we, to-
gether with our Allies, had a
long, hard road ahead of us
There were a lot Of things on
my mind when I made that
speech to you in 1850.
You will remember that the
Soviet Union had set off it's
first atomic explosion in the
fall Of 1949. Shortly after that,
I directed the top officials Of our
Government to make a new
study Of the foreign policies
and the military potential of
the Soviet Union, taking into
account the fact that the Soviet
Union now had the secret of
the atomic bomb. I directed our
officials to try to find out
whether the Soviet Union was
headed for war, and what we
should do to deter and prevent
such a conflict.
These officials worked to-
gether through the National Sc
curity Council. under my direc-
ton, and came up with their
preliminary answers in April,
1850. These answers presented
US with some very difficult prob
lens.
It seemed clear, as q result
Of this study. that the United
States and all other free ma
lions were faced with q great
and growing danger. It seemed
clear that we could meet the
danger only by mobilizing our
strength-and the strength Of
our AllieS-to check and deter
aggression. This meant a great
military effort in time Of peace.
1t meant doubling or TRIPPING
our budget, increasing taxes
heavily, and imposing various
kinds Of economic controls. It
meant q great change In our
normal peacetime way Of doing
things. These were the prob
lens that were being laid on
my desk at the time I spoke
TO you in st. Louis in 1850.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-06-08

documents are in effect, there
will be a new kind Of Europe,
with a greater power to defend
itself.
During these two years, while
this European army plan has
been worked out, the European
countries have been doing a
great deal to build up their
individual defense forces. Take
air power, for example. With
our help, there will be so wings
in Europe under the NATO
command by the end Of this
year. Within two years, if pres
ent plans are carried out-if
everything is not ruined in this
so-called economy" drive-the
number will have risen very
substantially. OF coarse, these
NATO forces will be equipped
partly with American planes.
But about go per cent Of their
equipment Will be french ana
British models. These Euro
pean planes are comparable to
the best we produce.
The story is the same with
land forces and sea forces under
the NATO command. Wher-
ever you look, you find grow
ing military strength In Europe,
strength that we can count on.
Successes Create
New Danger of Apathy
This is the record Of the things
we have done. These last two
years have been a period of great
achievement. But our very

MANY MARKED KINGS
 MAY BE CAUGHT THIS YEAR, SAYS c. L. ANDERSON

JUNEAU - C. l.. Anderson, dir ector of the Alaska Department of Fisheries, announces that large numbers of marked king salmon may be caught by Alaskan fisher men this season
 A majority of marked fish found will be fish tagged by the depart ment. Tagged from trollers as grown fish in Alaskan waters, many of them should be caught on their way to spawn, Anderson said. He added that the other marked fish expected are fish which have been marked by fin clipping. Too small to carry a tag, they were marked by the removal of specific fins when released by hatcheries in the states They were released three or four years ago, Anderson said3 and are now mature. Previous tag ging experiments show, Anderson reported, that mature fish from southern rivers migrate through Alaskan waters Therefore, he eX- plained, both tagged and fin clip ped fish should be caught by Alas kan fishermen.

Western Union Strike
Weakening Disputed

Western Union and it's striking
employees were at odds today over
effectiveness of the strike on the
telegraph business.
The company claims it has re-
sumed at least one-third of its
normal business since the strike
began April 3. Adolph Brungs,
bargaining chief for the CONNER
cial Telegraphers' Union, retorted
last night, however. that the
$4,000 strikers have been able to
hold the company to no more than
"a mere trickle of its normal busi-
ness"
Mr. Brungs said most of the
Offices the company claims to have
reopened are either not bona fide
Western Union Offices at all, or
they have beer closed since the
Strike began and are still closed"
The company" Mr.. Brungs
added. claims there has been a
back-to-work movement. The
truth is that SO per cent of its
employees went on strike and are
still on strike"
Company union negotiations
have been at a standstill since
they were broken off at the Ward

job to make the people realize
what civilian censorship in our

September allowing civilian de-

While most newspapers de-
nounced the Presidents order.
Mr.. White said, "the people as
a whole-the real losers in this
matter of civilian censorship-did
not denounce it."
He said he concluded that "you
and I as neWspapermen have
failed to make the case clear to

Civilian censorship does not
hit us in the pocketbook," he con-
,tinued. Newspaper circulation

He added: There is only one
reason. Our service to our read
