THE VOICE OF
THE PEOPLE
Ry Kathryn NIcCarty

By Kathryn McCarty
(The fifteenth in a series of in
formative articles on our govern
mentO
The following are excerpts from
the Republican Platform of 1860:
That we, the delegated representa-
tives of the Republican electors of
the United States in convention as
sembled, in discharge of the duty
we owe to our constituents and our
country, unite in the following dec
laratiOnS:
1. That the principles stated in
the Declaration Of independence,
and embodied in the Federal Con-
stitution are essential to the pres
ervation of our republican institu-
tions; that the Federal Constitu-
ton, the rights of the states, and
the Union of States, must and shall
be preserved.
2. That the normal condition of
all the territory of the United
States is that of freedom; that as
our founding fathers, when they
had abolished slavery in all our
national territory, ordained that
mo person shall be deprived of
life, liberty, or property without
due process of law. That we brand
the recent reopening of the slave
trade, under the cover of our ma
tional flag, as crime against hu-
manity; and burning shame to
our country and age; and we call
upon Congress to take prompt and
efficient measures for the total and
final suppression of that execrable
traffic.
3. That we protest against the
sale to others Of the public lands
held by actual settlers, and against
any view of the homestead policy
which regards the settlers as paup-
ers or suppliants for public bounty.
4. That the Republican party is
opposed to any change in our nat
uralization laws, or any state laws
by which the rights of citizenship
accorded to immigrants from for
eign lands shall be abridged or i'm
paired.
5. That we commend that policy
of national exchanges which Sc
cures to the working men liberal
wages, to agriculture renumerative
prices to mechanics and manufac-
turers an adequate reward for their
skill, labor and enterprise.
6. That the people view with
alarm the reckless extravaganza
which pervades every department
of the Federal Government; that
a return to rigid economy and ac-
countability is indispensable to ar
rest the systematic plunder of the
public treasury by favored parti-
sans; while the recent startling de-
velopments of frauds and corrup-
tions at the Federal Metropolis
show that an entire change of Ad-
ministration is imperatively de-
manded.
Finally, having thus set forth
our distinctive principles and views,
we invite the cooperation of all citi-
zens, however differing in other
questions, who substantially agree
with us in their affirmance and
support.

flowers and presents. She slips off
to Wellesley as often as possible
to visit the patients in person. And
on Christmas day she received

corner. Really, | do. Science and
medicine are making great strides,
and we have real cause for hope"
Miss Hayes has made thewhole
crusade against her own. But es-
pecially dear to her heart is the
Mary Macarthur fund, to which
people ofthe theater have contri-
buted more than 100000 since
Mary's death.
"It was started by Bethel Leslie
and Patricia Kirkland, two talent
ed young actresses who where
Mary's friends" Miss Hayes ex-
planned. "They got Kit Cornell and
the Lunts on the honorary commit
tee and then the whole profession
took over the fund as it's own.
"'The funds have been used to
start the first respirator research
center in the United States, at the
Children's Medical Center in Well
esley, Mass. There has been avery
sharp increase in respirator or
iron lung cases since 1949.
$50 a research center was GER
tainly indicted and the memorial
fund for Mary started and sup
ports the first one at Wellesley.
Similar ones have since opened in
Houston, Ann Arbor and Los An

EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUART-
ERS, Korea, Jan. Is (INS)-
South Korean troops unleashed a
newattack onthe western front to-
day but failed to wrest vital hill
positions from hard-fighting Chin
csc Red defenders.
The wal tempo was further step
ped up when the giant American
b~attleship Wisconsin went back in
to action off North Korea's east
coast with a daylong shell bomb
ardment of Communist troops and
installations.
Heavy clouds blanketing most of
North Korea hampered the Allied
air offensive Sunday night and
early Monday, forcing airmen to
use radar in attacks on bridges,
rail yards and supply dumps.
In the ground fighting, Repub-
lie of Korea (ROK) First Division
troops jumped off west of Korang-
pc at 4 o'clock Monday morning
in a two-pronged assault on two
Red-held heights.
After four hours Of what an
Eighth Army briefing officer call
ed Every bitter fighting" the
SouthK Koreans were forced tobreak
off and pull back under intensive
Chinese fire.
Their unsuccessful attack broke
a lull which had prevailed since
January 8 when two Chinese regi-
ments-the biggest Red force put
into action anywhere on the Kor-
can front in six weeks-counter-
attacked. This blow drove the R.
OKs from the hills they had just
regained a few hours before.
The ROKS reported they had
killed an estimated 100 Chinese in
the Monday morning battle. By
comparison, they said the South
Korean losses were extremely
light.

East-northeast of the deadlock
ed truce parley site of Panmun-
JON, Chinese forces knocked other
soldiers ofthe first ROK division
off two hill positions Sunday night.
A two-platoon Chinese attack
forced the ROKs to withdraw
from one elevation to a second.
The Reds followed and pushed the
ROKs off the second hill.
An hour after midnight the
South Koreans counterattacked
and recaptured the second height
in a 15-minute battle.
Southwest of Pyonggang on the
west central front an Allied raid
ing party fought a. five-hour en-
gagement with the Chinese on q
Red hill position Sunday. The Al
lied soldiers then withdrew.
South Of Pyonggang, other Al
lied raiders, wearing white snow
parkas, seized a hill and held it
for an hour under heavy Chinese
counterfire before withdrawing.
A new cold wave enveloped the
front as temperatures sank to five
degrees in the eastern sectors.
At the east coastal end Of the
front, the 45-00O-ton battleship
Wisconsin terminated a layoff of
a couple of weeks by returning to
enemy waters. She hit Red troops
and defenses from midnight Sat-
urday until dusk Sunday with
tremendous barrages from her
five and 16-inch guns.
The Navy said the superdread-
naught pumped 125 tons of 16-

aimed at Red gun positions and

Korean GIs Need
School Nest Egg

"Have funds sufficient for your
first two months" is the message
that comes today from S. H. Hur-
TUX, education chief of the Veter-
ans Administration regional Of
fices to Korean veterans planning
to attend school under the new CT
Bill. Under this bill education and
training allowances are to be paid
on a month to month basis after
each month of training has been
completed.
Therefore, a veteran must COM
plete his initial month of training
before compensation machinery be-
gins to roll.
The new G. I. law also requires
that both the veteran and his school
or training establishment submit
certification to VA at the end OF
each month to verify that the
training was taken.
After these certifications are re-
ceived, VA must compute how
much allowance the veteran is en-.
titled to before mailing payments
This process, Hurtuk said, would
normally be kept down to about
20 days, but he emphasized that
total delay in the first month OF
training could amount to two
months.
Thereafter, checks will come
regularly each month as training
is continued and certifications are
in order, he pointed out.
