A Call to Arms GEN: EISENHOWER'S report on his first year as military commander of North Atlantic Treaty Organization was an exemplification of stitesmanship on a par with his achievements in the military field. 1t dealt as fully with the moral and political aspects of collective security as it did with the strictly military problen. And it contained the stern warning that while unified action is required, each of the free nations must do its full art in meeting the challenge of imperialistic aggression. The United States is furnishing much of the material resources for NATO during the current year, because it believes that American enlightened self-interest in served thereby, he said. zi But the General warned that it would be fatuous for anyone to assume that “the taxpayers of America will contihue to pour money and resources into Europe unless encouraged by steady progress toward mutual co-operation

and full effectiveness.” Coo THMRE MUST be united action, not only among na- _ tions, “but within nations,” he continued, in stressing the dangers inherent in Communist-led labor groups in NATO

“poi rely if the people of t plete break with many things of the | willingness to do something new and challenging. : Moving on from this obvious indictment of the colonial ‘powers, Gen. Eisenhower lashed out at Europe's patchwork of national barriers—which “curtail drastically the movement of men, manufactured products, raw materials and money upon which Europe's economic life depends.” These roadblocks, he declared, “are expensive and wasteful encumbrances, pyramiding the cost of production with tariffs, overhead, taxes and middlemen” which in the

political field “compound inefficiency with distrust and suspicion.” :

7 » . » IN CONTRAST with the misleading reports made to the ‘American people after the recent NATO meeting at Lisbon, the supremé commander -bluntly stated that no veal security had been achieved in Europe, but “only & beginning.” : : ia Fundamentally and on a long-term basis, the General declared, “each important geographical area must be defended primarily by the people of that region.” And the individual citizen in each of the countries concerned must be made to feel that he has a vital stake in the fight for | fresdom-—not that he is a bystander or a pawn in a struggle for power, he added.. All of these things needed to be said by a voice which could command attention. [ % Jf this report proves to be the General's swan song, it has left a charted course which will bring victory if it is followed with courage and determination. Because, in his own words, the job can be done, “given the will to do it.”

McGrath Is the Test

ANOTHER INVESTIGATING agency has been promised the “full and complete co-operation” of President Truman. The King Committee, which has been investigating the Internal Revenue Bureau, had that promise at onetime, ‘But it soon discovered the kind of “co-operation” it got was something less, : a When Newbold Morris, the President's frustrated cleanup man, took his job, he had the same assurances. He also was promised “my complete, enthusiastic and unlimited” co-operatiqn by Atty. Gen, J. Howard McGrath, Mr. MéGrath's Justice Department now is under investigation by the Chelf Committee. * The Attorney General testified before this committee that he had not filled out the questionnaire of his personal income which Mr. Morris sent Justice Department officials, and wasn't so sure he would—or that he would let his subordinates fill it out, either, The Chelf Committee is interested in the same data. Its chairman, Rep. Frank Chelf, talked to the President about it. He asked for the income tax returns of 20 Justice Department officials, including Mr. McGrath. He asked also for the department's records of 11 cases involving “various crimes.” ; Mr. ~ » ~ " 1 BUT THE investigation won't pay off on promises. When this same committee asked for similar information a while back, Mr, Truman issued an order saying he would not stand.for any such “dragnet” approach. ’ Newbold Morris’ slow-budding inquiry has been so

Chelf al he is hopeful of results.

MeGrath's threatened snub of his questionnaire is almost incidental. But the Chelf Committee has shown an intent to do a real job. Anything shart of the “full and complete cooperation” Mr, Chelf says he was promised by the President will be construed as nothing less than a cover-up. The test is Mr. McGrath's income tax returns. If the committee doesn't get them, then the co-operation is anything but “full and complete.” :

‘On Civil Rights

WASHINGTON, Apr. 2 American Negroes

sincerely regret President Truman's taking himself out of the presidential race, according

Jr.

Here for the $100 Jefferson-Jackson Day’

Dinner and to attend the Mayflower reception for the President and Mrs, Truman given by Democratie National Chairman Frank FE. McKinney, Indianapolis, Mr, Richardson called Mr, Truman the greatest fighter for civil rights ever to live in the White House. He tited the fact that this son of a Confederate soldier took his political life in his hands, alienating many southern leaders, in order to back what he believed was right to wipe out discrimination, “As commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he did more to give Negro soldiers a square break than a dozen Gen, Eisenhowers,” Mr, Richardson said.

~ Believed in Anti-Lynching

“IT WAS President Truman who appointed the commission which brought in the basic rec- _ ommendations for civil rights legislation. And

aa a Senate filibuster,

“He really believed in anti-lynching, anti-

poll-tax and FEPC bills, Every time the Congress failed to pass them he sent them right back the next session. He was our champion and we shall never forget it. Negro Democrats are truly sorry that he isn’t going to run " this year." Appearance of numerous national Negro leaders at the McKinney presidential reception was also a tribute to the national chairman Mr, Richardson pointed out,

‘Don’t Care for McHale’

“I CAN recall the years when we only were admitted through the Mayflower bhack-door,” Mr. Richardson sald. “Mr. McKinney is just as right about decent treatment for Negroes as the President himself, But we don't care #0 much for Indiana's Democratic National Committeeman, Frank M. McHale.” During the recent mayoralty contest in Indianapolis, Mr. Richardson, one-time Democratic member of the state legislature, openly sup-

ported the successful Republican candidate,

Alex Clark, he said. But down here he was back on the Democratic side, boosting Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois as the best successor to President Truman so far as Negroes are concerned. “But a Democratic ticket composed of Mr. Barkley and Ben. Kefauver would be ail right too,” he said.

Cites Heavy Vote

co THAT WOULD BE two southerners, since Vice President Alben Barkley iz from Kentucky and Sen, Estes Kéfauver iz from Tennessee. According to Mr. Richardson there now are 68,000 Negroes in Indianapolis "and the vote should be between 15,000 and=18,000, This could mean the decisive factor in a close election in the city he pointed out. ha :

“1 feel, however, that Negroes are not too

much excited about either one of the old parties,” Mr. Richardson said. “Both sides have been promising them things so long without delivery that they have lost considerable interest in politics. - ? “It takes all the effort that both Democrat and Republican ward workers can exert to get out a Negro vote of from 10,000 to 14,000 in Indiarimpolis today.

“That is not a good thing, but there it is. .

And there iz plenty of reason for it--stemming from the ever-promising politicians.”

Views on the News

IT SEEMS odd to have Harry 8. Truman be the only prominent Democrat who izn’t runaa ning for President,

THE old-time Democratic political boss at the $100 dinner told how in his bhailiwick they used to weigh the ballots instead of counting them.

POLITICAL science professors should teach students that “machine voting” isn’t the same thing as voting machines.

HEADLINE — McGrath says he may not reply to Morris quiz. Saying no’ seems to be catthing among Trumanites,

Everybody's Relaxing With Harry

WASHINGTON, Apr. 2--You guessed it, Things sure are differgnt at the White House now that President Truman's decided, But it's not like you figured it. Instead of breaking out in Brooks Brothers sackcloth,

“with ashes to match, everybody has just relaxed.

Suddenly, nobody seems nervous or tense or :

“irritable any more. Instead, people walk about actually beaming at other people and doing "their work easy-like and slipping on their best charm school smiles at the . slightest provocation. The first staff conference after last Saturday night's announcement was a tip-off on how everybody was taking it. A staffer who was

and Joe Short, Special Counsel Charles 8. Murphy and the military aides—filed into the President’s study with the usual wisecracks for each other. Then, without anybody mentioning Saturday's announcement, they got down to the business of each staffer telling the President about his partieular problems.

Mr. Truman was businesslike but relaxed.

He looked rested and healthy and, somehow, re

lieved.

- “He seemed like a man who knows exactly what he is doing and exactly where he is going,” said a staffer. Then he added, quickly, “but he's always seemed that way.” Meanwhile, whether in-their offices or as seen going back and forth on errands, the Truman aids were carrying on with great aptemb. Mr. Connelly, the appointments secretary, was his old charming self—but' more re-

This i= important.

‘Bill's Happy

BUT THE most relaxed man around the

. White House these days is William D. Hassett,

the scholarly and gently humorous correspondence secretary. Mr, Hassett, 71, and whitethatched, always has been most amiable. But these days he's absolutely buoyant, with the smile of a man freed from a heavy burden. It's no secret around the White House why

Bill Hassett feels so-good. He-is-one of the few

men around Mr. Truman possibly the only one ~who never wanted. his friend to run again because he felt another four years would be too much for him. So when Bill Hassett smiles he's not merely being brave. He's being happy.

‘Good News’

MR. EDITOR: & 1 listened to Harry's radio speech and when he announced that he would not be a candidate, I was glad. Not glad so much for myself, but glad for these youngsters who have, for 20 vears, lived under the blight of a government which ruled the people by creating crisis after crisis and emergency after emergency. These youngsters have known only fear, war, coms munism, confusion and corruption in goverament. : Harry's speech of course could have well been copied from the smear book of old Tom Pendergast. He told how he hated corruption in governs ment, vet he received his political education from the most corrupt political machine on earth and is still part and parcel of that same corrupt political machine. $B BD LET us all hope and pray that Harry's departure from Washington brings us better and cleaner government instead of the sewer and gutter politics tHat has characterized <Waahiogs: ton for the past 20 years. Let us hope that in our dealings with foreign nations in the future, will come an era in which we will deal firmly put fairly, in which we will tolerate no more Rill Oatis incidents, no more diplomats in prison or no more ransom paid to release our flyers. let us hope that in our domestic policies we will clean corruption and communism out of government entirely, clean out all the bureaucrats and get back to constitutional government and require every person who is able to do so to stand on his own feet instead of leaning on the government for help. —C, D, C.,, Terre Haute

He was quoted in a column signed by Emma Rivers Milner, church editor. The layman, whose name was not given, expessed the opinion that the organization, the Greek Orthodox Youth of America, exists pri. marily for social reasons. That is not true.

Lenten Meditation Jesus Answers Questions

About Our Troubles

poe AS YOU LIKE IT Then Jesus assured her, O woman, great is your faith?

Be it done for you os you desire. Matthew 15:29. Read verses 22-28. : :

Jesus could hardly soy that to every one, “Be ‘it dene os you desire.” It all depends upon the desire, Sometimes we would have to say with Macbeth, “Let not light see my black and deep desires.” At other times our desires -are holy and quite inorder, ——— Pope Here wos a Canaanite woman, outside the House of Israel. Yet her desire was carefully examined by Jesus and found honorable, ; We canpot .osk that all our desires shall be granted, though some of them are. G. B. Shaw wrote, “There ore two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart's desire, The other is to get it.” There is some truth in this paradox. . Some of our desires are as far from reality os the word itself suggests, de sidus, from a star. Dr. Carrel speaks of the need for the "unification of our desires,” pointing out that until we gather together into some consistent, one-way effort our desires for recognition, lave, food, work, ploy, worship, we are. divided - personalities, '° It is our high purpdse to see if our desires are in tune with what Jesus desires for us.

Let Us Pray: Help us to remember, O God, that prayer is the souls sincbre desire, and that whot we really desire

deep down in our souls is what we are praying for, whether :

we say so or not, Amen.
