strength at home unless. the
great mass of Americans deeply
respect their leaders.
The men occupying high
places in Government must be
the best this country provides.
If we have such-drawn from
every walk of our national life
you and I have no cause to hang
our heads in shame when we
survey the record of our Gov
ernment's accomplishment. Men
of competence will gladly accept
public Office in a clean climate
where extravaganza and waste
and indifference cannot exist.
There will be no scandal to de-
stroy our faith in those who are
responsible for vital decisions
in foreign as we'll as in domestic
policy.
We have seen an administra-
tion that has been far from
diligent in uprooting from Gov
ernment those who plot against
the very system under which our
country grew great. We have
seen this kind of thing go on
and on until a man like my
running mate. Dick Nixon,
grabbed a police whistle and
blew it.
If we Americans do not duly
respect our own leadership. you
can be certain that this leader
ship will have diminished pres
tige abroad. And, unless our
leadership is respected abroad.
it will neither be trusted nor
freely followed. Our capacity
to influence other nations will
be frittered away. Can you
blame the peoples who dwell in
the shadow of the Kremlin for
|. failing to understand the kind
of leadership that could still
say, in 1948, of a ruthless die
tator:: II like old Uncle Joe.
He is decent fellow"
Last week the Congress Of
the Soviet Republics met for
the first time in 13 years. Dur
ing the proceedings. a Moscow
leader launched a bitter attack
upon an American. Such a
thing had never happened be-
fore. But the attack wasn't
leveled at the man who said he
liked old Uncle Joe Stain. I'm
proud to say that it was di-
rected exclusively at me and my
efforts to help promote a strong
and secure free world.

Partial Eisenhower Text

SAN ANTONIO, Ter, Oct. IS.
-Follo1Uing is a partial tert OF
the address By Gen. Eisenhower
here last night
This is a happy night for a
man who was born in Texas.
Coming to San Antonio for
my birthday party is like COM
ing back home.
I'm not much of a speech
maker. You've certainly found
that out already. My life work
has trained me to do things
more than to say them in a
witty or a pretty way.
But I can tell a man of con-
viction and courage when I see
one. Your young Governor is
that kind of man. When I first
heard his message to the dele
gates at your State Democratic
convention, I was stirred: He
said: Nov is the time for every
Texan to caucus with his con-
science"
We would like to borrow these
words. Governor, for our crusade.
We would like to- ask, not only
every Texan, but every Ameri-
can to caucus with his con-
science.
For each one of us knows that
there is a far different and a
far better way to do things in
government than the way they
have been done these last few
years by the administration.
Iwll give you tonight my idea
of the four cornerstones upon
which We should go about build.
ing the kind of peace the world
must have.
First and foremost. we must
have a strong America.
BY that, l mean more than
military strength and more than
a sound economy. I mean that
our people must have within
themselves a deep we'll of spiri-
tual strength found in people
whose house is in order.

Moral Laws Shrugged

The Achilles heel of any ma

Household in u. S.
Is Getting Smaller,
Census Office Says
By the Assoeioied Press

The American household is
getting smaller, despite a big
growth in population, according to
the Census Bureau.
The bureau said yesterday that
Ia high marriage rate, a larger
volume of housing construction
and general prosperity were prob
ably factors making for more and
smaller households.
In 1910. the bureau said. the
United States had 34,948.6 .666
households with 1913, ,427 ,069 peo-
Iple living in them, an average Of
1857 persons in each household.
In April of this year, the bureau
estimated, the Nation had As, ,464,-
900 households, with 151.552,000
people, an average of 3.33 persons

In 1910, the report said, 6.8 per

have their own separate home.

is in allies. We need free al
lies, peoples who can freely see
and know that it is to their en-
lightened self interest to stand
with us against aggression and
bear their fair share of the
load. And it Is to our own en-
lightened Self-interest for us to
cooperate with our natural al
lies among the free peoples of
the world.
The time to look for allies
is not after the war breaks out
that may be too late. The
time to build our friendships
and cement our relations with
other nations is in time of
peace. When this is done and
the bond of common interest
is soundly forged between us
and those free peoples of the
world, no aggreSSor will dare
attack.
Worthwhile allies cannot be
bought. Dollars alone will not
do the job. 1t can only be done
through mutual respect. mutual
confidence and readiness to CO.
operate.
The fourth cornerstone is the
United Nations. We must have
world forum where we can
seek to establish the PROPOSE
tion that aggression does not
pay. The Omitted Nations has
tackled a problem which has
plagued the minds of men since
society was in its most primi-
tive form.
Such a problem cannot be
solved in a few years. 1t is not
q cheap or an easy road that we
musts travel. No entirely easy
road leads to success. e. The
United Nations can be-must
be-made a workable road to

Citizens Study Group
Opposes Incorporation
As Arlington City

Proposed incorporation of Ar
lington will be presented to county
voters on November 4 without the
blessing of the Citizens Study
Commission on Local Government.
The 36-member commission.
after studying a report by the
University of Virginia Bureau of
Public Administration, last night
recommended to the County Board
that Arlington not incorporate at
this time.
The commission said the county,
II 1t should become a. city next
January as a result of the refer
endum, would lose approximately
$750.000 q year in State highway
funds -
Incorporation, if approved, would
take effect under a city charter
approved in 1916. The budget pro-
cedure outlined in this charter,
the commission said, sis not clear
and subject to differing legal in
depreciation"
School Difficulty Forecast.
"It is the opinion of the school
department, the commission said,
that a strict Interpretation of
the 1916 charter would create a
situation which would make op-
Grafton of the school program
exceedingly difficult, if not i'm
possible"
The movement for city status
was given impetus by a court de-
eision banning Federal employees
from serving on the County
Board. The city charter would
permit Government clerks" to
serve on the city council. The
commission said that the term
"clerk" would need Interpretation
by the courts to make it clear
which Federal employees are ELI
gible to hold local Office.
60 The commission said that two
proposed changes in the county's
operation, also to be voted on No
vember 4. would, if adopted, cor
rect several weaknesses of the
present county government One
proposal would put the manager
on indefinite tenure. instead of a
year-to-year basis. The other
would transfer from the County
Board to the manager the power
TO appoint department heads.
Another question before the
voters is whether the City School
Board should be elected by the
city council or elected by the
people, if incorporation goes into
effect. The commission recon-
mended election by the people. as
at present.
On another point, the commits
sion recommended that voters ia

the county Incorporates. This
question also will be on voting
