President Calls Nation Sound
Despite Unworthy Scenes

Patrick Henry may have over
stated the case when he said,
For me, give me liberty or give
me DEATH"
Secretary Anderson pointed
out in his address:
There is a lesson for us here.
In a world menaced by power
hungry aggressors, there are GER
tain positions and issues which
peaceable nations must show
themselves willing to defend with
firm policy and diplomatic i'm
fermentation. if possible. with
military force, if necessary.
"It is of prime Importance that
We and our allies be in general
agreement about what these posi-
tionS and issues are, and that
our intentions to defend them
be clearly and unequivocably
published to our enemies. If an
aggressor is convinced of the alb
solute and relentless determina-
ton of the free world to strike
back at his every attempt to
invade his freedom, he may alb
stain from the use of force. II.
on the other hand, he doubts he
may be subjected to the conse-
quences of his acts, an aggressor
may be tempted to challenge one
of these vital issues.
Two Choices Presented.
when that happens, the vic
tim has two choices. It can fight,
or it can yield the point. If it
fights, a war of some dimen-
Sions begins then. If it yields,
war may be postponed. but not
necessarily avoided. For the
aggressor will continue to chal-
lenge other vital issues until the
victims very survival may be at
stake"
Introductions were made by
E. v. Richards, president of the
Navy League, and Gen. George
c. Kenney, U. S. A. F., retired,
president of the Air Force Asso-
citation. The master of cere-
monies was Lewis L. Strauss,
chairman of the Atomic Energy
Commission. A highlight of the
evening was a combined Salute
to the Services" by representa-
tives of the Army, Air Force,
Coast Guard. Marines and Navy.
The marshal of the event was
Col. Edwin S. Gettelheim, jr.,
adjutant general of the Military

Advisory Unit Backs
City Heads Plea for.
Full Voting Rights

Congress today had another
strong plea for full national
representation for the District
in the form of a declaration by
the Citizens Advisory Council
The group, which serves in
an advisory capacity to the Dis
trict Commissioners, voted
without hesitation" in favor OF
voting rights equal with those
of the States.
Chairman William E. Leahy
said the council fully supported
the stand of Commissioner
Samuel Spencer. who requested
the Senate Judiciary Committee
to. amend pending limited-repre-
Sentation measures to provide
for full representation.
Mr.. Spencer addressed his re-
quest to Chairman LANCER of
the Senate group which will hold
hearings Thursday on a joint
resolution that would amend
the Constitution to permit Dis
trict residents to elect members
of the House and to vote in
presidential elections.
The council, Mr.. Leahy de-
clared. feels the Nations Capt.
tai, "in accordance with the
philosophy of our democracy,
should be accorded treatment
equal to that of the States as
defined and granted under
the Constitution notwithstand-
ing that the District is under
the exclusive control Of Con-
greSS."
Commissioner Spencer's letter
to Senator LANCER follows:
My Dear Senator LANCER:
The Commissioners have for
report S. j. Res. 1856, a joint
resolution Proposing an
amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States en-
pcwering Congress to grant
representation in the House
of Representatives and in the
electoral college to the Dis
trict of Columbia"
The first section of the ar.
ticle proposed as an amend
ment to the Constitution would
empower the Congress
:" to provide, by law,
that there shall -be in the
House Of Representatives and
among the electors of Presi-
dent and Vice President mem
berS elected by the people of
the District in such num-
berS and with such powers as
the Congress, by law, shall
determine"
The Commissioners feel that
the residents Of the District
of Columbia should have the
same representation in the
Congress as the citizens of
the several States. They rec
ommend that the resolution be
amended so that the people
of the District have represen-
tation in both houses of Con-
gress on the same basis as
the people of the respective
States. that is, by two Sena-
tors and by such number of
Representatives as the popu-
lation of the District warrants
under apportionment. Accord
ing to the 1850 census, the
District population was 802,-

president Eisenhower has de-
clared in an Armed Forces Day
address that the "heart OF
America is sound" even if at
times attention is diverted by
unworthy scenes" in Washing
ton.
His statement, obviously taken
as a reference to the Army
Mccarthy feud on Capitol Hill,
drew a standing ovation from an
audience of 1900 servicemen
and their wives at the annual
Armed Forces Day dinner at the
Hotel Statler last night.
Speaking informally, the
President made no specific refer
ence to national policies or inter-
national problems, but his talk
reflected strong concern over the
Communist menace in Southeast
Asia and elsewhere.
Recalls Events in Career.
Following an address by Dep
uty Secretary of Defense Robert
B. Anderson. Gen. Eisenhower
said he intended to give his talk
over mainly to rambling remi-
niscenceS," ndrecalled personal
events of his own military career
But turning to international
affairs, he looked back through
history and found reasons for
hope that democratic forms of
government will survive, as they
have before.
United In Common Cause.
Free men. he declared, can
do anything when they are unit
ed in a common cause and set
their hearts to that cause"
II have been in difficult places
with Americans-many Amerl-
cans. From them have gained
an inspiration. an inspiration
that free men can do ANYTHING
when they are united in a COM
mon cause. and set their hearts
TO that cause.
Secretary Anderson has
Sketched for us this evening
something of the dangers we
face. something of the nature of
the theological conflict in the
world, something of the policy to
which we must devote ourselves,
and the faith that we must hold
If we are to win through.
"And I should like to reinforce,
or add. to what he said, this one
word: Never forget the strength
of freedom of the free world. We
know how much we value our
right to worship as we please, to
speak as we please, to choose our
own occupations, to try to give
to our children the kind of train
ing in beliefs and faith that we
believe will bring them happi-
ness. We know the values we
place on those things.
Right to Be Proud.
IF at times we seem to ignore
them, If we are torn by doubts
or current fears. or our atten-
ton is diverted by unworthy
scenes, even in our National Cap
ital, we still know what we are
America. The heart of America
is sound. It is sound now that
we shall pass on to those a little
younger than us. Those that are
coming behind us. we shall pass
on to them the same kind of
right to hold up our heads. to

0ne-Month Cutback
Of 10 Pei. in Relief
Payments Is Asked

District welfare officials have
asked the Commissioners to au-
thorize a 10 per cent cut in
public welfare payments for
June. it was learned today.
The reduction would apply to
all categories of relief payment
affecting an estimated 5000
cases on welfare rolls next
month. The cases represent
about $4,000 people.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea said the drastic one-month
cutback is necessary because the
number of new cases jumped far
beyond expectation during
March and April.
Welfare officials received $780,
900 in the Districts recent def
cheney appropriation. which was
designed to take care of eSti-
mated increases. The estimate
was based on an average OF 81
new cases a month. Actual ex-
perience, however, resulted in 135
cases in March and 81 last
month.
Require $4,000 More.
Oficials said an additional
$4,000 would be needed to con-
tinue payments at the same level
through June.
The case increases came main
ly in the aid-to-dependent-chil-
dren and-to a lesser degree
old-age assistance categories.
officials said major factors ac-
counting for the increases were:
l. Unemployment of unskilled
laborers. Unemployment, in it
self, is not a qualification for
public assistance. But the i'm
pact was felt. officials said, in
the case of laid-of workers who
were contributing to needy rela-
tives.
2. Unemployment of disabled
persons, who qualified for aid
to-the-disabled payments.
The welfare payments are
made on the basis of 78 per cent
of a food cost index for Febru-
ary. 1858. The request asked
the city heads to lower the per-
centage for June to 70.2 per cent.
This means a 10 per cent cut in
take-home checks to welfare
recipients.
New Funds in July.
officials explained that cases
increased at the rate of seven
last December. 40 in January
and 95 in February. For the
last quarter of the fiscal year
ofhcials figured 37-case-a-
month increase But the March
and April increases were so far
out of line officials said they felt
immediate action should be
taken.
With new funds available in
the 1855 fiscal year apprpria-
ton, officials said, they will re-
turn to the 78 per cent payment
basis in July.
All welfare categories except
general public assistance qualify
for matching Federal aid funds.
The SAC. 900 deficit in local funds,
requiring the cutback. means
that substantial Federal money
will be lost
Average monthly payments for
the various welfare categories,
officials said. include: Old-age
assistance, $51 76; a.d to de-
pendent children. $105 Sc; aid
to blind. $55.56; aid tc disabled.

LETTERS
to the
EDITOR

Mr.. John Gore, Editor
Geauga Record, Chardon, Ohio
Dear John,
In the sixteen months that
l have lived in the village of
Chardon, / have come to appre-
ciate The Geauga Record as a
weekly newspaper which serves
the community well. l have
not always agreed with your
editorials; many I have a.
greed with.
Your editorial of last week,
october IA, I cannot agree with.
Isn't it true that most vii
lagos, towns, and cities use the
parking meter returns to sup
port their police force? This
seems to be a very good meth
cd for securing adequate sup
port for what is in reality one
of the greatest needs in any
community.
AS a pastor who is interested
in the problem of adult and
juvenile delinquency, 1 thank
God that we have an adequate
police. force. The character of
the men on that force, and
my personal relations with
them, prompt me to believe
that they are above bribe or in
timidation, and that they ac-
cept in sincerity the reSpon-
.sibilities assigned to their
office.
would much prefer to live
in a village with bad streets
and a good police force than
to live in a village with good
streets and a police force in
which one could place no con-
fidence.
have had to pay many fines
for parking violations. l have
paid them all, with the sure
knowledge that it was my re-
Sponsibility to my community
to do so, and with the knowl-
edge that the payment of such
fine would add to the support
of the police force in our town.
1 expect to urge the members
of Chardon Methodist Church
to vote in favor of the village
