Guarding and
Improving Our
Resources

One of the brightest areas of
achievement and progress under
the Eisenhower administration
has been in resource conserva-
ton and development and in
sound, long-range public works
programming.
Policies of some conservation
and wise development-origi-
nally advanced half a century
ago under that pre-eminent Re-
publican conservation team of
President Theodore Roosevelt
and Clifford Pinchot and ampli-
fed by succeeding Republican
administrations-have been pur-
sued by the Eisenhower admin
istration. While meeting the es-
sential development needs of the
people, this administration has
conserved and safeguarded our
national resources for the great
est good of all, now and in the
future.
Our national parks, national
forests and wildlife refugees are
now more adequately financed,
better protected and more extern
sive than ever before. Long
range improvement programs.
such as mission Sc for the ma
tional parks system. are now
underway, and studies are near
ing completion for a comparable
program for the national forests.

necessary to assure them ade-

That all veterans be given
equal and adequate opportunity
for REIMBURSEMENT following serv-

placing emphasis on obtaining
suitable employment for veter-
ans. particularly those disabled,
by Using appropriate facilities of
government and by assuring that
federal employment preference
and unemployment rights, to
which the veteran is entitled, are
received;
That the veterans administra-
ton be continued as a single in

That the service-disabled con-
ltinue to receive first-priority
medical services of the highest
standard and that non-service
disabled war veterans in need
receive hospital care to the ex-

Indian Affairs

We shall continue to pursue
our enlightened policies which
are now producing exceptional
advances in the long struggle to
help the American Indian gain
the material and social advan-
tages of his birthright and citi-
zenship, while maintaining to
the fullest extent the cultural
integrity of the various tribal
groups.
We commend the present adj
ministration for its progressive
programs which have achieved
such striking progress in prepar-
ing our Indian citizens for par
ticipation in normal community
life. Health. education and en-
ployment opportunities for In
dams have been greatly ex-
panded beyond any previous
level, and we favor still further
extensions of these programs.
We favor most sympathetic
and constructive execution Of
the Federal trusteeship over In,
dian affairs, always in full con-
sultation with Indians in the
management Of their interests
and the expansion of theil
rights Of self-government il

We Fundamentally agree with
President Eisenhower that our

that an effective civil defense
is an important deterrent against

indispensable reliance should our
Nation ever be attacked.
We support his proposals for

OOntlnue0 from rage Al
gram Of research and engineer
ing, we are inventing new me-
chanical and electronic devices
to speed the movement of mail
by eliminating tedious old
fashioned methods.
We have improved service
across the country in hundreds
of ways. We have extended city
carrier service to millions of
new homes in thousands of ur-
ban and suburban communities
which have grown and spread
under the favorable economic
conditions brought about by the
Eisenhower administration.
We have reinspired the morale
of our half million employees
through new programs of pro-
motion based on ability. job
training and safety. and through
our sponsorship of increased pay
and fringe benefits.
We have adopted the most
modern methods of transporta-
ton, accounting ant cost control,
and other operating procedures:
through them we have saved
many millions of dollars a year
for the taXpayers-all this while
reducing the enormous deficit of
the department from It's all-time
high of almost three-quarterS of
a billion dollars in 1852 to less
than half that amount in 1855.
We pledge to continue our eff
forts, blocked by the Democratic
leadership of the 84th Congress,
for a financially sound, more
nearly self-Sustaining postal
service-with the users of the
mails paying a greater share of
the costs instead of the tax
