Secretary of State Dulles says

Mr.. Dulles, addressing a dim
ner Of the Military Chaplains'

other values did not matter.
we must not accept the

Sometimes he said, 1T is

He called on the Nation TO
do so "emphatically and. in

Mr.. Dulles said the Nation
has a positive challenge" to
rededicate itself to the spiritual
foundations and moral concepts
that made America great.
Discussing Soviet aspirations
TO have the worlds greatest
military establishment, the
Secretary said:
The Soviet government has
not made one single serious
proposal to limit modern arma-
ment. 1t has rejected or
evaded many such proposals.
Mr.. Dulles said the United
States seeks only "a military
posture that others respect.
He added:
III. today. We wanted to
dominate the world militarily,
We have it within our power.
We need only take, for military
purposes, the same percentage

American people would readily
accept greater sacrifices if flu
ture Developments made that

We reject. for ourselves. the

rulers set for themselves"

Dulles was an opening day

You can look for q rash Of good
works from AFL-CIO local unions
in the year ahead. Union leaders
are plugging charitable activities
as one Of the best ways to repair
at the local level the public esteem
damaged last year by unpleasant
disclosures in the courts and in
hearings Of the Senate Labor
Management Rackets Committee.
One union Official explains 1t
this way:
"Put yourself in the place Of a
man who's trying to decide wheth-
er to join a union. He's read so
much about labor in the papers
that he wonders how to separate
the good guys from the bad guys.
He's afraid he might get tied up
with a wrong OUTFIT II he joins the
local which has asked him to be-
come q member. Then this local
donates an iron lung to the city
hospital. Don't you think that wills
help persuade him to decide In
favor Of the union?"
John w. Livingston. director Of
organizing for the AFL-CIO, rea-
sons that when. you accept q
unions good works. you accept the
union. He says It's one Of the best

merry workers prepared and served
meals to the unionists and guests.
The Musicians Union provided en-
tertainment after the project was
COMPLETED.
o Building trades unions have
contributed nearly $4,000 towards
construction Of q home in Har-
lingen. Tex, for dependent and
neglected girls. The unionists also
donated the labor necessary to
erect the home.
. In Brighton. Mass. the Inter-
national Association Of Machinists
donated q building to the Boy
Scouts. bought television set
for 1t and volunteered their serv-
ices to put the building in shape.
Publications like the AFL-CIO
News and the AFL-CIO magazine,
The Federationist, praise unions
for such activities. The hope Is
that effective action by one union
will stimulate others.
Another idea behind the en-
couragement Of good works by
unions is that 1t will speed up ac-
ceptance Of the idea that unions
need not conf1ne themselves to
collective bargaining. that they
can be socially important rs well.
After q very rough year. however.
1t is clear that the main and basic
problem Is to protect public &C

good rather than evil.

1t Would Open New Vistos

port them.
Revenue from subscribers, when
added'to revenue from advertisers,
win support many more stations
than are now economically FEAST
BILE. Since the Federal COMMUNE
cations Commission requires all
stations to devote q very substan-
tial portion Of their time to So

be reduced and more small adj

tons and more advertisers can
only result In more non-toll

A Larger Question
AS persuasive as the foregoing
propositions might seem. there
is q higher and more important
question involved here than the
quantity or quality OF available
television programs. Should In
ventors and enterprisers. who de-
vote years and millions to finding

1t will be only because Of your

Government to deny the public
this right 10 choose and select its
goods and services In the market
place Is totalitarian in the ex-
treme-it is the absolute antith-
esis Of our American system Of
free enterprise.
You may ask how. II these are
true propositions. We are still.
after seven years. enSnarled in
Government red tape and political
controversy.
Well. for one thing. the use Of
television stations for subscrip-
ton broadcasting requires prior
Government approval. Our laws
impose quite elaborate procedures

tanned. We have been offered the
opportunity by the expert body
established by law to determine

Two Groups Of Opponents

before the public has even
glimpsed it.
Two Groups Of Opponents
Who are these opponents?
Principally. they are In two groups.
The first group is comprised Of the
motion picture theaters who desire
above all to impose upon you the
necessity in perpetuity to hire a
baby-sitter and transport yourself
to motion picture theater so that
they can charge you a high admis-
sion price and hawk pop. popcorn
and candy for your privilege Of
seeing a motion picture that Is
less than 10 years old.
They. Of course, may be i'm
PEELED by the urge OF self-preser-
walton. But since when in this
country has 1t been thought
proper to preserve the old. the
outmoded, the costly and the in
efficient means by denying birth
TO the new. the cheaper and more
efficient means?
The other group Is comprised
OF the national television net
works, three in number. They
now enjoy tremendous power.
prestige. and, above all. profits
in the industry as now consti-
tuted. 1t is perhaps normal for
them TO .hope that nothing new
comes along that win upset their
contentment.
But as braggadocious free-en-
terprisers who vigorously resist
any Government interference or
meddling with their business. they
are hardly to be taken seriously
when they ask the Government TO
build an air-tight fence around
their domain TO protect them from
anything that Is new or compete
tive. Such arrogant inconsistency
could only come from supreme
confidence in their own tremen-
dous power.
We have faith. however. that
great as the political and propa-
ganda power Of these two en-
trenched groups may be. they
cannot forever stop progress.
