CHICAGO, July 22.-Follop-
ing are teEtual excerpts from
the speech before the Demo-
cratic National Convention yes
terday By Senator Douglas OF
Illinois:
I shall speak about the Korean
war. For the full story Of why
we took up the challenge in Korea,
what it has meant to us and to the
free world, what the problems are
which we have faced and the
strengths and weaknesses of alter
native lines of action has not been
told. ..
When on June n, 1850, the
North Korean Communists under
Russian prompting and direction
invaded South Korea. the Presi-
dent of the United States had to
make a fateful decision. He could
have taken the Immediately popu-
lar course. He could have con-
tented himself with a note of pro-
test to the Communists but have
|refrained from sending our troops.
This is what many of his critics
are now implying that he should
have done. An eminent leader OF
the opposing party has for over a
year been referring to the struggle
in Korea as Humans war" BY
this he apparently means that
either it was President Truman
who got us into the war or that
he is responsible for its continu-
|ance. =.
Two weeks ago this charge was
often repeated from this very
platform by numerous Republic
cans and apparently it will be
stressed as an issue this fall.
What would have happened had
the President done what his
critics now imply he should have
done and refrained from sending
our men to check the Communist
attack?
First, make no mistake about it,
Korea would have fallen in two
or three days.
Second, I invite you to look at
the map of Asia which is behind
me and see what would have hap
pened to japan.
Japan would then have been
placed between the upper and
lower jaws Of communism and
could not have continued as a
free. democratic and nom Com
munist country. Sooner or later
it would have been forced into
the Communist orbit and Russia
would have taken over it's IS mil
lion people and its huge indus
trial plant.
But this would only have been
the beginning. Look again at the
map OF Asia and note the PENN
sula which juts out from the
southeast.
Had we let the Communists ge
away with Korea, there is n,
doubt whatsoever but that thi
army would have moved in ant
the whole peninsula with its Isl
million people would have beer
lost. With them would have gon,
all OF the worlds supply of natura
rubber two-thirds of tn
worlds supply of tin and great oil
resources.
India and Japan would hav
been starved into the Communis
ranks. We would have lost all O
Asia with its billion people. An,
If Asia were to fall, so would tn
Middle and Near East where two
thirds of the oil resources of tn
world are heated

Convention SideIiehts
BY The stor's Convention s,off

CHICAGO, July 22.-The organ
music which has been creating
atmosphere in the convention hall
for both the Democrats and Re-
publicans does not come from a
collection of mighty organ pipes
but from an all-electronic ma
chine with a console not much
larger than spinet piano.
The organ, which fits into a
small box high above the con-
vention hall, makes its music
through series of tiny vacuum
tubes. The sound then is stepped
up by a powerful amplif1er sys-
tenn, and released into the hall
from a battery of IA loudspeak-
ers arranged just under the cell
ing in the center of the hall.
Acoustic engineers say the re-
sulting blast of music equals the
volume Of 5000 home sized ra-
dios or so average pipe organs.

On her honeymoon she went
to her husbands home and while
he and his mother gadded about
town visiting old friends, the only
invitation she got was to stay
home and wash the dishes!
my husband gave me the
choice of going to a summer resort
on our honeymoon or going to a
small town 800 miles from here,
where he had grown up, and get
ting acquainted with his family,
none Of whom I had ever seen.
I thought this would mean a great
deal to him, so I agreed to 60
there"
They stayed at the home Of his
mother. After dinner, the mother
would say to her new daughter
in-law, I'm going to take Jim
over to call on the Smiths-they
always thought q lot Of, him.
I'm sure you wouldn't be inter-
ested. since they'd just talk old
times, so you'd better stay here.
If time hangs heavily on your
hands, you might clear the table
and wash the dishes"
Feel your blood pressure rise?
I know just what you're thinking
and it is exactly what any woman
of gumption would think. It is
easy to imagine saying to this
mother -in-law, "Now listen, old
girl; ] didn't marry your precious
boy to become q housemaid for
you or any one else, Wash your
own dishes. Jim and I are going
out together, or there11 be one
missing bride in this community

nature. as revealed by her actions
Mrs. q. might have gotten OF to
q much better beginning in her
marriage If she had reacted in
this spirit. But she didn't. She
was anxious for peace and wanted
to get her new life of to a
smooth start. So. she stood two
weeks Of this nonsense.
Then they went back to their
own home. Mrs. U. writes: HE
told me there was one thing
wouldn't have to worry about-if
anything happened to him. I'd be
taken care of because he had a
$10,000 insurance policy in my
favor. I found out by accident
a year later that it wasn't $4,000,
but $1,000, and his mother was
beneficiary. She still is! How
ever, he finally did take out SIS. 900
more. of which I am the bene-
f1ciary."
Mrs. y. has been married four
years and now her mother-in-law,
"a widow with many friends in her
home town, has made up her mind
to move in with her son and his
wife.
MY husband says he owes a
great deal more to her than he
can ever repay" she writes, "be-
cause she financed his way
through college,"
I think this is Mrs. US cue to
go to work on her husband. She
should stiffen her backbone and
demand that he do everything in
his power to prevent his mother
from taking up residence with
them.
