Urges Soldiers to Register
And Vote While Oversees

First. I ask that everyone
register and vote. More than a
million of you who are serving
overseas are eligible. There are
reactionary politicians in this
country who hope that many Of
you and many Of your fellow
citizens at home will not vote.
And the reason is not hard to
find. Every victory for reaction
in our country and every set
back to progress has been caused
by the voters who wouldn't
bother to vote.
Reaction at home threatens
what we all want most: Peace
and prosperity. Not peace or
prosperity-but peace and pros
perity. It has to be both or
neither, because without endur-
ing peace there can be no en-
during prosperity. Conversely.
there can be no enduring peace
without a healthy. strong. pro-
ductive United States on which
the stability Of the whole world
depends. A change to a rampag-
ing reactionary Republican do
mestic policy means therefore
not only disaster at home but
disaster abroad.
The Republican theme song
in this campaign is that "It is
time for a change" You are
going to hear that tune over and
over from now to November.
Now I am not against change:
It Is always time for q change
for the better. The Democratic
Party is not against change:
The change brought during this
past 20 years Of progress under
Democratic administrations is

An America which has no faith
in itself and its future? Or is it
an America which has solved
the problems Of depression and
provides abundant opportuni-
ties for useful. contented, and
peaceful lives? Is it an America
that is making steady progress
toward equal rights. equal
justice. and equal opportunity
for education and employment?
I am sure that that is the kind

one last territorial demand
only one. that is, before he was
ready to launch the bloodiest
war in history. Perhaps we can
all relax and go to the ball game
all OF us, that is. except you.
The Democratic Party doesn't
think so. The Democratic Party
thinks that that would be play
ing Russian roulette with all our
futures. The Democratic Party
is not afraid to ask the Ameri-
can people to do the hard Jobs
that have got to be done to back

BY the Assoeiaied Press

Senator Mccarthy, Republican.
of Wisconsin. charged yesterday
that President Truman is ne
glecting the affairs of the Nation

ut is common knowledge that
the principal objective Of Presi-
dent Truman's Labor Day speech
in Milwaukee is to try to defeat

in statement, adding:

to find that the President feels
that my opposition to his policies

The White House hasn't men
toned Senator Mccarthy in
connection with Mr.. Truman's
scheduled speech at Milwaukee
tomorrow night. The speech, under
AFL-CIO auspices. is to be the
Presidents first major address of
the presidential campaign.
Senator Mccarthy, back here
for a medical checkup following
an operation, said earlier he was
getting ready to return the fire
Of Mr.. Truman, Gov. Adlai Steven

In his statement, the Wiscon-
sin senator referred to q recent
Saturday Evening Post article
which charged Mr.. Truman fooled
the farmers in 1948 by blaming
the Republican-controlled 80th
Congress for a fall in grain prices
shortly before the election.
Senator Mccarthy said this
amounted to zone Of the most
palpable campaign frauds in
American political history"

SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug. 3O--
FOLLOWING Is the teEt of an Gd-
dress transcribed by Gou. Ste
benson for broadcast this meek
to the men and 1Donlen In the
armed forces overseas:
Men and women Of our armed
services overseas:
I am grateful to the Secre-
tary Of Defense and to the
Armed Forces Radio Service for
this chance to speak to you.
My campaign for the presi-
dency has this in common with
yours. Now that I have been
drafted. am fighting to win.
Two world wars have dragged
our two generations, yours and
mine. through the bloodiest
years Of the Christian era.
Many Of you are now fighting
in Korea and many more are
standing guard in Europe to
prevent a third world war.
When Capt. James Jabara Of
Whichita, an Air Force ace on
leave from Korea, was asked
why we are fighting there, his
answer was: $50 we won't have
to fight in Wichita" I think
the captain hit the nail on the
head. It is almost as simple and
certainly as important as that.
None Of us have the gift of
prophecy. In these tense days
none Of us can be sure what to
expect from one moment to the
next. But I want to make one
thing very definite: I don't ex-
pect a third world war, and
repect the notion that a third
world war is inevitable. That is
familiar Communist talk. And I
hope that regardless of the dire
prophecies of our political ad-
versaries, neither nor any
Democratic candidates will give
such foolish confirmation to
Soviet propaganda during this
campaign in the United States.
What we know. and you who
serve in Korea know better than
the rest of us, Is that the enemy
Is implacable, sullen, determined,
and dangerous. Communism has
already enveloped and enslaved
many hapless millions through
the world. It has drawn people
to serve under false gods; and
as you in Korea well know-it
has imbued them with the devils
own fury. ".:

Enemy Has Ambition
To Rule Our Lives

The grimmest knowledge Of
all is the certainty Of the enc
my's relentless ambition to rule
our lives-as he already rules
the lives of millions in Europe
and Asia. But we know, too.
that he is not superhuman. He
can be stopped, punished and
beaten back. You have already
gone far to restrain his limitless
ambitions. On your continued
strength and success rests the
aspirations of all people for a
peaceful world. If we should
now falter and fail, then all our
hopes for decent lives would be
drowned in another brutalizing
war of God knows what extent
and duration and at what dread
cost to all that is most dear to
us. But we need not falter and
we shall not fail.
And If war is not inevitable,
neither is peace inevitable.
I am an optimist because I
believe Americans will make
good use Of the time your efforts
In Korea and in Europe are
winning for us. People often
ask: Is time working for us or
against us? It seems to me q
silly question. Time works for
the fellow who makes the best
use of his time. And America
can make better use Of time
than our adversaries. We must
or we will lose this struggle.
You have heard it said, as I
have, that the Korean War is
a useless" war. Nothing seems
to me more mischievous than
this idea which has been so
extensively used for political
purposes in this, country. Had
we not resisted aggression in
Korea, then we would not only
have lost Korea but we would
have invited the Soviet Union
to pursue aggression elsewhere.
The line had to be drawn some
where and. the earlier it was
drawn, the better the chance
and the greater the hope Of
averting general war. The logic
of not fighting in Korea. as
Capt. Jabara put 1t. is to fight
in Wichita. No one knew this
better than President Truman
when he made his courageous
decision in the summer of 1850
to stand up to the Communists.
You have probably heard,
too, that America has gained
nothing in the last year Of the
Korean war-that we are right
where we started when we sat
down with the Communist
negotiators more than a year
ago. sometimes wonder how
short-sighted some people can
get, especially in campaign
years. We have gained a years
time. And we have used that
year to accomplish three sig
nificant and quite possibly de-
cisive victories.

Benton Reveals Plea
For Justice Inquiry Of
Mccarthy Testimony
By the Associcsed Press


Senator Benton, Democrat, Of
Connecticut yesterday made public
"a suggestion that the Justice De-
partment investigate sworn testi-
mony in which Seuator Mccarthy,
Republican, of Wisconsin accused
him Of 'paralleling the Commu-
mist line"
Senator Benton announced he
had suggested the step in letter
to Senator Gillette. Democrat. Of
Iowa. chairman Of a Senate Rules
Subcommittee, investigating a res
olution in which Senator Benton
seeks Senator McCarthy's expul-
sion from the Senate and a coun-
ter proposal by Senator Mccarthy
that Senator Benton's record be
examined.
Letter Urges More Speed.
The letter, written more than
a month ago, also urged the sub
committee to show more speed in
handing down a report Of findings
on his expulsion request.
Informed at his home in Chero-
kee. Iowa, Of Senator Benton's
action, Senator Gillette said the
letter was received some time
ago" and that it was called to the
attention Of members Of the sub
committee. No action was taken
on 1t, he said. '@a4asa
Senator Gillette said the sub
committee report cannot be drawn
up at least until the group meets
again. He said the committee can
not meet until after Senator Hen
erickson. Republican, of New Jer-
sey,. returns from Europe next
month. He said he could not say
whether or not the report would
be ready before the November
election.
Senator Mccarthy told a re-
porter he had not been notified
of the new development in their
long and bitter feud.
Senator Benton's letter cited 80
statements made by Senator Nc
Carthy in testimony before the
subcommittee last July 3.
That was the day Senator Nc
Carthy testified in support Of his
charges that Senator Benton. in
a pre-Senate career as Assistant
Secretary Of State, followed the
Communist line. Senator McCar-
thy also demanded that the SUBJ
committee examine Senator Ben
tons income tax records and elec.
ton campaign expenditures.
Says Charges Are Proved.
Senator Benton's rival resolu-
ton accuses Senator Mccarthy o1
fraud. perjury and calculated de-
ceit. In the letter to Senator Gill
lette Senator Benton argued that
Senator Mccarthy, in testifyine
against him. had proved what
Senator Benton said.
Il see no reason, now that the
Senate has adjourned and now
that you have heard this false and
absurd testimony against me, why
you should hold OF further In
proceeding energetically." Senate,
Benton wrote.
The letter said Senator Benton's
counsel, Gerhard p. van Arkel, had
listed Senator McCarthy's alleged
|misstatements after - hasty and
preliminary study" Of the Wiscon-
sin Senator's testimony.
Il assume, among other indi-
Gated follow-ups, yon viii want te

counsel over to the Attorney Cen
eral," the letter said.
