NEW YORK -- Three famous
comrades-in-arms of World War
III, one of whom is now President
of the United States, are serving
together in peace time as leaders
of the United Defense Fund--an
organization financing the activi-
ties of USO and four other de-
fense-related agencies.
! The three generals, Dwight
Eisenhower, Omar Bradley and
Jimmy" Doolittle, were among
the principal speakers at UDFs
recent leadership mobilization
meeting in Washington, DC,
attended by more than 500 vol
unteer leaders of UDF, Commu-
nifty Chests and United Funds
throughout the country.
At the opening session, held in
the Rose Garden at the White
House, President Eisenhower,
UDF's honorary chairman, de-
clared that "the big thing that
the United Defense Fund does is
TO keep the soldier abroad under
standing that he is part of
America, no matter where he
comes from, what may be his city,
what may be his race. or his re-
ligion-he still thinks. through
this kind of effort, primarily of
America, and of himself as an
American"
Commenting on the services of
UDF agencies, General of the
Army Omar N. Bradley, UDF
national campaign chairman, said

Ohio Good Place
For A Vacation

If you are still undecided about
where to spend your vacation,
the Ohio Development and Pub
licity Commission makes this sug-
gestion: Just dream of your ideal
vacation spot then go to Lake Erie
Vacationland and you'll find its
counterpart"
No other region on earth offers
a wider variety of pleasurable pur-
suits than the 225-mile shoreline
at the top of Ohio. Boating en-
thusiasts have vast expanses of
water over which they may chart
voyages to the picturesque wine
islands or numerous quaint harb-
orS around the most historic seq
ment of the Great Lakes. Incl
dentially, some of the best water
crafts in the country are manu-
featured in Port Clinton and San
dusky. Boat liveries, supply stores
and repair docks are ready to
serve the vacationers.
Great stretches of rugged cliffs
and miles of clean sandy beaches
make this area a paradise for art
lists, photographers, mixers, and
sun bathers. Beautiful old light
houses, fishing wharveS, ancient
wine cellars, well-kept vineyards,
caves, and many other landmarks
peculiar to that area, provide un-
forgetable vistas.
The vacationer at Lake Erie can
choose between the crowded
beaches connected with some of
the resorts and amusement parks,
or the solitude of private water
fronts that go with cottages or
cabins that may be rented in the
less thickly populated spots.

ChrysIer Acts
To Strengthen
Sales Forces

The appointment of Maurice J.
Harris as assistant sales manager
of Chrysler Division, Chrysler
Corporation has been announced
by E. M. Braden, general sales
manager.
Harris appointment is part of
a program under which the ChryS-
Ter Division sales force is being
strengthened by men who have
had broad retail as we'll as whole
sale automobile experience so that
the Division can offer ChrySler's
$500 dealers maximum assistance
at the retail level, Braden said.
Harris, who has had six execu-
tive promotions in his 10 years at
Chrysler, has been used car mer-
Chandising manager since October,
1852. His first connection with the
automobile business was as retail
dealer in Salt Lake City where he
also operated a used car business.
During World War II he was a
supervisor for Remington Arms,
Incorporated in charge of ammu-
milton production. He joined
Chrysler Corporation in January,
1914 and was assigned as a pro-
duction foreman on the highly
secret atom bomb project.
He was transferred to the
Chrysler Division in May, 1945, as
district manager and assigned
to the Cincinnati region. In Octo-
ber, 1949, he was promoted to
regional manager in Pittsburgh
and two years later was picked
for the newly-created position Of
sales promotion supervisor of
western regions. This was follow
ed by promotion to sales executive
on the factory staff in March,
1852.

465 Scholarships
Granted In State

Harold ]. Bowers, Director of
the Division of Teacher Education
and Certification of the State De-
partment of Education reported
today that he had approved 465
applications for scholarships from
recent Ohio high school graduates
who plan to prepare for teaching
in the public elementary schools
of Ohio.
Each scholarship is worth $780,
90 and may be used by the appli-
cant to prepare for elementary
teaching in any one of the "a Ohio
colleges, offering an approved two
year program of elementary teach
er education.
Mr.. Bowers explained that this
grant was made available through
The Ohio Scholarship Fund estab-
lished by the Tooth General AS
sembly. This fund established for
the public purpose of relieving the
elementary teacher shortage in
Ohio, provided $250,0O0.00 for the
fiscal year 1953-1954, and $780,
10000 for the fiscal year 1854
1855. The appropriation for the
current year, includes funds suf-
ficient to continue grants to the
800 students who were granted
similar scholarships last year, so
that they may continue for their
second year of preparation.
Those granted scholarships for
the current year, will, unless a
new appropriation is made by the
101st general assembly, be re-
quired to complete their second
year of preparation at their own
expense.

each and every one of us have
certain liberties we could never
receive or exercise under Commu-
nism. It is time to express again
that fundamental precept that
freedom has many definitions but
its most important is the power
of self-determination."
In urging a program of vigil
ance against communism, the re-
port warned that violence in
word or deed" would serve the
Communists "since it would turn
neighbor against neighbor, brother
against brother and citizens
against the very protection of the
laws which have made this nation
the worlds garden of human lib
critics."
Your Committee is convinced
that they duly constituted author
tiles and the laws now on the
books are sufficient to contain the
communists.
The five-point program recon-
mended that the VIEW assume the
responsibility for transmission of
information concerning suhversive
activities from local, State and
Federal authorities to the people
of Ohio through the local posts;
that a continuing educational
program" be established in COOP
Grafton with civic groups, schools
and colleges, churches and frater-
nal bodies, labor unions, service
and political organizations.

Stresses Connie
Danger In Ohio

Columbus, Ohio A program to
defeat Communism in Ohio with
Vigilance. not Vigilantism" and
Information, not Demagogy' was
offered today to the annual En-
carnpment of the Ohio Depart
nent, VFW by the organizations
n-American Activities Commit
tee.
The report was submitted by
State Rep. Robert w. Reider,
Port Clinton, chairman of the
committee; Joseph II. Rice, state
commander and c. William o.
Neill, Ohio Attorney General,
members.
Declaring that the problem of
Communism in Ohio has been met
hitherto by "the two extremes of
apathy and erratic action" the
Committee recommended that the
VFW steer a course between
these twin dangers"
"As result of apathy, Com
munists were able to penetrate
areas of influence with their dog
ma" the report stated, "as a re-
suit of violent reaction against
such penetration we have come
close to establishment of a pat
tern of control of thought and
action very similar to that exert
ed in lands already conquered by
the Communists"
The Un-American Activities
Committee, appointed by Com
mander Rice before expiration of
the Ohio Un-American Activities
Commission on February 1, prais-
ed the "fact-finding" efforts of
the State Commission as taking
the problem of communism "out
of the realm of conjecture and
performing its duties . without
such hysteria as has marked the
similar work of Federal Commit
tees" The Commission findings
should be widely publicized thr-
oughout Ohio, the report suggest
ed.
The five-month survey by the
VFW committee disclosed lack
of information among the people
of Ohio concerning the degree
and nature of the problem"
"Ohio too has shared in the

more factual findings of the
States Commission have been lost
in the welter of fantasy and side

giStrar.
Represented by students during
the past four academic quarters
were every county in Ohio, every
state in the nation, the District of
Columbia, six U. S. territories and
60 foreign countries.
AS always, however, the bulk of
Ohio States students were Ohio
ans. A total of 21,429 were resi-
dents of this state, with 1886 liV-
ing in Franklin County. Some l.
$50 came from Cuyahoga County
and 780 from Montgomery County.
The College of Commerce and
Administration, with 3,640 stu
dents, was the largest undergradu-
ate college. Other large colleges,
in order of enrolment, were Arts

Freezing Garden
Foods Is Simple

Home freezing of garden-fresh.
vegetables and fruits is quick and
easy. What's more, frozen foods
keep the fresh flavor which other
preserved foods lose, and they hold
nutritional values so well that
when served they are the equival-
ent of cooked fresh foods.
1t takes only about half as much
time to freeze food as to can it,
and the homemaker does not have
to toll for hours in an overheated
kitchen in hot weather. Fruits, ex-
cept grapes, need no heat at all
before freezing, while vegetables
require only a few minutes scald-
ing, explains the home economics
institute of Deepfreeze Home Ap-
pliances.
Attracted by the advantages of
home freezing, many women are
starting to enjoy the satisfaction
of preserving garden products they
have selected personally from
their own gardens or favorite
markets. Previously these women
did not care to preserve foods be-
cause they felt that other process
ing methods just took too much
effort.
Aside from the usual prepara-
tion for serving from the fresh
state, most fruits are simply pack
ed dry or with sugar or syrup,
sealed in a package and put into
the home freezer. The scalding of
vegetables, by no means a thor
Ough cooking, last just long enough
TO check the aging action of enzy-
mes. Then the food is chilled,
packaged and frozen.
The key to successful freezing is
to harvest food at its peak and get
it quickly into zero-degree stor-
age. After harvesting, food rapidly
loses its quality on exposure to air
and heat. However, food-spoiling
action is stopped or slowed down
by zero-temperature freezing, per-
mitting longtime storage.

here at home, keep in touch with
our young people in uniform, we
make them aware that we appre-
ciate and have respect for the job
they're doing, and we let them
know that, meanwhile, we are
doing everything we can to
strengthen democracy here"
1t. Gen. James H. Doolittle,
chairman of the board of UDF,
asserted that "every American
serviceman in addition to being
fed and clothed and equipped,
needs a spiritual and emotional
gyroscope, a stabiliZer to help him
keep his balance in a world of
confusion. The United Defense
Fund program is designed to meet
that basic need"
At the meeting, governmental,
industrial, business, labor and re-
ligious leaders reported the need
for UDF services and urged sup
port of the Fund.
The United Defense Fund is
supported chiefly through Com
munity Chest and United Fund
campaigns held throughout the
country. Last year, UDF received
approximately $11 million through
these drives. Because of unmet
needs, however, UDF this year
must raise an additional S4h
million.
Agencies included in UDF are
US0, United Community Defense
Services, American Social Hy-
giene Association. United Sea-
mems Service, and National Rec.
reation Association.
