Purposes of Prayer

Is it wrong, that is to say, un-
Christian, to wish to be strong? OF
course not. There is surely no vir-
tue in weakness. To wish to be
weak. or to be content with weak
ness, is no sign of Christian. 1t
depends on the motive behind the
desire. Now power can be had, or
wished for, for various reasons,
bad and good. Some people like to
be strong just to show off. A boy
gees around bending his arm and
showing the other boys what big
muscles he has, just Dragging.
That may be all right for boy
(though the boaster is pretty sure
to be thrown sooner OF later. But
when a grown man does the same
thing he Is just being childish.
However, this is harmless COM

use of power; that is, using it 70
build up more power. We can see
it in politicians who hold on to
important positions even though
they could be more useful in prl-
vate life and though dozen other
men could do their job quite well
as they can. We can see it even
in the church, where some men
like to get on and stay on impor-
tant committees because then they
can crack the whip" over their
brethren. Worst and meanest of
al miS-uses of power is using it

see examples of this on the ma
tional scale, all through history. 1t
scales all the way down to the
blackmailer, who uses some bit OF
scandal that he knows about to
run the lives of perhaps much bet
ter men.

win take the stories of Jesus mira
cles quite literally. Others will
suppose that some of these stories
may have been exaggerations of

skeptical about the miracle-stories

that every one of these miracle

they never would have been told

who are most full OF doubts about

And even il you thought Gas this

Text of Stevensons Speech in Harlem on Civil Riqhts

It is my pride to have the
honor of continuing the high
traditions of the Democratic
Party. And, I am glad to have
with me on the ticket one who
has fought hard for the COM
mon people of the South. who
has hit hard at the bread-and-
butter issues which mean so
much for all of us and who will
fight harder for the common
people as Vice President of the
United States-and I mean the
Hon. John Sparkman of Ala
bama.
We have in America the linn
itless strength of our natural
resources-the genius and en-
ergy of individual men and
women who have carried us to
the heights of material accom-
plishment. We are short of
greatness only to the extent
that we nave not yet fully
achieved in our humanity the
perfection of the full brother
hood of man to which we aspire.
We have come very far toward
that goal, but we still have far
to go.
When Christ said, BE ye per-
feet" He knew that men were
not perfect, nor ever would be.
He meant something more
that men can find salvation,
can enter into the kingdom of
heaven, only by striving for
perfection.
Not I nor any honest man
can promise you a perfect

adequately equipped by the time
of withdrawal. The military
gave assurances on this point,
but urged that withdrawal take
place not later than June 80,
1949, regardless of other factors.
The President after long and
careful consideration accepted
the advice of the military.
The decision was finally
agreed on in the National Sc
curity Council and approved by
the President with the full
advice and concurrence of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The National Security Coun-
Gil did not make this decision
until the advice of Gen. Mac
Arthur had been obtained. His
advice was to the effect that the
state of training and combat
readiness of the South Korean
forces was such as to warrant
completing the withdrawal of
United States forces. When Gen.
Macarthur was testifying before
the Joint Armed Forces and
Foreign Relations Committees
of the Senate in 1851. he was
frank to confirm the fact that
he had concurred in the with

GARY, Ind. Oct. 28.-Follo1U-
ing is partial tert OF the
statement issued here last night
by President Truman diSput-
ing Gen. EisenhoWer's Detroit
speech dealing Uith lUithdra,Ual
OF United States forces from
Korea:
Last Friday night in Detroit
the Republican candidate for
President made a speech dis
cuSsing the decision to with
draw United States Occupation
Forces from Korea in 1949.
That speech contained so many
misquotations or quotations out
of context that it was clearly an
attempt to deceive the American
people.
Among other things the can
didate sought to create the i'm
preston that this decision was
made over the objections of the
professional military men of the
United States. This is not true.
The professional military men
Of the United States recon-
mended the decision. Gen.
Eisenhower himself was one of
the men who recommended the
decision which he now so bit
terly criticizes.
Here are the facts:
/. The text of the Detroit
speech of the Republican can
didate for President contains
the following statement:
The terrible record of these
years reaches it dramatic climax
in a series of unforgettable
scene on Capitol Hill in June of
1949. BY then the decision to
complete withdrawal of Amer
lean forces from Korea-despite
menacing signs from the north
had been drawn up by the De-
partment of State. The deci-
sion included the intention to
ask Congress for aid to Korea
to compensate for the with
drawal of American forces"
This statement is a combina-
ton Of falsehood and truth so
interviewer as to create a COM
pletely false impression.
It is an attempt to blame the
Department of State for policy
urged by the Department of the
Army. policy which Gen.
Eisenhower himself supported.

Withdrawal of Americans
Proposed by ForrestoI

The withdrawal of American
forces from Korea was proposed
in May. 1947. by Secretary of
War Robert Patterson, a Re-
publican (Forrestal, Diary, Page
273).
In September of 1947, the
State Department requested the
opinion of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff on the maintenance of
United States troops in South
Korea. In it's request, the De-
partment of State pointed out
that a stalemate had been
reached with the Soviet Union
over Korea. and stated that
consideration was being given
to what further steps should be
taken to implement United
States policy in Korea. In order
that such consideration might
include the basic elements, the
Department Of State requested,
as a matter of urgency. the
views of the Joint Chiefs re-
garding the interest of the
United States in the military
occupation of South Korea from
the point of view of the military
security of the United States.
The reply of the Joint Chiefs
OF Staff was transmitted by the
Secretary Of Defense, James
Forrestal. in a memorandum
which he sent to Secretary of
State George Marshall on Sep
tember 26. 1947. In this reply
the Joint Chiefs of Staff stated
that the United States had lit
tie strategic interest in main
tanning our troops and bases in
Korea. The reply of the Joint
Chiefs went on to explain that
our limited military manpower
could be better used elsewhere,
and that the withdrawal of our
forces from Korea would not

If I told you that in the next
four years we could infallibly
attain peace or maintain pros
perity, or achieve equal oppor-
tunity, I would earn your
contempt. All I can say is that
these are my objectives and I
shall work toward them as de-
votedly and as untiringly as
I can.
I shall not raise false hopes
by making cheap and easy
promises and by pretending that
we have quick and slick solu-
tions. You have recently heard
the general on the subject of
Korea. The general should
know that the source of the Ko-
rean war does not lie in Korea
it lies in Moscow. And he should
know, too, that the way to
bring that war to an end is not
through American disunity, but
through American unity.
On the fair employment prac-
tices problem, the general has
another neat formula. His for
mula is that as President he
would convene the State Cover
nors and work the problem out
with them. Well, I can say that
it isn't always the Governors
who need a pep talk. In one
MidWestern State in 1949 and
again in 1851 it was the Repub-
lican legislators who killed the
State FEPC bill that the Gov
ernor worked hard to get. And
I ought to know, because was
that Governor. You cannot
solve the civil rights question
any more than you can solve
the tragedy of Korea by slogans
whose only function is to dodge
the hard issue.
AS I have said before in this
campaign, the problem of equal
rights is one which must be
tackled on all governmental
levels, as we'll as within private
groups-and most of all per-
haps within our souls. And fair
employment is not only-is but
only part of the problem of
opportunity. We must never
forget its indispensable partner
full employment.

Asserts Eisenhower
Had Responsibility

AT the time this Tecommen-
datlon was made, the Repub-
lican candidate was Chief of
Staff of the Army. AS a men,
ber of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
he was responsible for this
recommendation.
The State Department pro-
ceeded with its efforts to estab-
lish a united and stable Korea.
With the advice of the Joint
Chiefs in hand, it felt it could
propose the termination of the
military occupation by both
sides. Accordingly. it proposed
to the United Nations in Oc-
tober, 1947, that elections be
held in Korea looking toward
the establishment of a united
Korea and with withdrawal of
all forces. The General AS
sembly adopted the resolution
October IA, 1947. The United
Nations endeavored to hold
elections in all Korea but was
rebuffed in North Korea and
therefore held elections in
South Korea only, and the
Republic of Korea was estab-
lished. The United States
again went to the United Ma
tions in the fall of 1948 and
asked it to recognize the new
government of South Korea and
to call for the withdrawal of
Soviet and the United States
troops. Mr.. John Foster Dulles
handed this proposal to the
United Nations. 1t was adopted
by the United Nations in De-
cember, 1948.
During l948, the United States
forces in Korea were reduced
from about 10000 to about T.
500 by withdrawal.
During this period, the State
Department requested the De-
partment of Defense to hold up
further Withdrawals of our
troops, pending United Nations
action and further examination
of the Korean problem.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Fol-
lo1Ding is the Transcribed tert OF
GoD. StevenSon'S address in
Harlem last night:
Congressman Powell, Senator
Lehman, Mr.. Hartman, distin-
guished guests and my friends:
It is good to be here in Harlem
tonight. It has been a long day
of travel with some Is speeches,
I think. But I must say that I
find myself getting used to trav-
cling noW-even if I can't get
used to speaking-at least get
used to having people listen to
what I say.
And, if you want to know
what kind of traveller I am, Ill
tell you this: Congressman Pow
ell has already given me the
clue-I am not the kind who
changes his ideas according to
his itinerary. I don't talk one
way on Monday and another on
Tuesday. I am not a Vanden-
berg internationalist in Michi-
gan and a Chicago Tribune iso-
lationist in Illinois. I talk the
same way about tidelandS oil
in Texas as I do in Michigan,
and I talk the same way about
civil rights in Richmond as I
will talk here tonight.
Now all of that is only by
way of saying that it seems to
me a little strange that a presi-
Dental candidate can get cheers
simply by saying that he does
not change his philosophy to
suit his geography. But that,
l regret to say, is the strange
campaign that we are having
this year.
I understand that word went
out and went out from the Re-
publican camp the other day
that at last We were going to
hear the real Eisenhower. Well,
judging by what we have heard
since, the real Eisenhower
doesn't sound much different
from the other one. And am
sorry to have to tell this audi
ence that, for better or for
worse. you have already seen the
real Stevenson, such as he is.
In the few days remaining we
are not planning to bring out
any new model.
I received a telegram the
other day of which I was very
proud. All 1t said was this. II
like Ike, but I believe Steve"
OF course, the trouble with the
Republicans is more than Just
the fact that the general him.
self has taken a bewildering
variety on positions on most is
sues Of the day. It is equally
the fact that the general has
surrendered control over the
policies of his own party to the
man that he had supposedly
beaten at Chicago, Senator
Taft.
1t is said that the general has
agreed not to discriminate
against the friends of Senator
Taft. If so, that is the only kind
OF FEPC he seems to favor.
There is one thing to be said in
favor of Senator Taft. At least
we know where he stands. And
this is indeed my greatest dis
appointment with the general.
He speaks with every voice in
the Republican Party except his
own.
For a while he spoke with the
liberal voice-with the voice of
the liberal Republicans - but
that was before Chicago. Since
then he has sometimes spoken
with the voice of Senator Taft,
sometimes the voice of Gov.
Byrnes. sometimes the voice of
Senator Nixon; and tonight 1
am told it is by the voice of SEN
ator Mccarthy. I can assure you
OF one thing. I am speaking
with my own voice tonight, as l
have every night in the course
of the campaign.
