smiths son, pledged al ..honest,

meut" today before q cheering
throng of 10000 that saw him
sworn in as the third President Of
this seven.year-old republic.
For this young and vigorouS
nation Of ours, nothing Is really
Impossible" the staunch former
defense secretary declared In his
inaugural address.
After solemnly taking the oath
of office, Magsaysay outlined {
seven-point program aimed al
raising living conditions, strength.
ening internal security and wiping
out the Communist.directed Hulk

He called for strong ties with
the United States and declared
that relations with friendly Asian
nations must be frightened to meet
common problems.
But" he warned, ito the lead.
ers Of the Communist conspiracy
who would deliver this country and
It's people to a foreign power, this
/ say:
Il shall use all the forces at my
command to the end that the SOW.
ereign authority of the government
shall be respected and maintained.
There can be no compromise with
ldiSloyalty."
The new President, who rode his
fame as Huk-busting defense sec.
rotary into the highest office in the
land, urged Communist rebels
who have been misled by the lies
OF the Kremlin" to surrender.
MagssySay broke with the ad.
ministration of President Elpidic
Quirino in a dispute over the re,
settlement of rebels who gave
themselves up.
AS standard bearer of the oppo.
