Arthur's headquarters has made I it clear his forces are ready to go into North Korea as needed. Meanwhile, the U.S. Eighth army headquarters estimated I that a red infantry division and i a company of red marines made a stand three miles south of Changjon.

J Swift Orders Awaited i The vote of the full United Nations assembly giving the im plied permission for the inva sion is to come swiftly, perhaps by the end of the week. The plan, sponsored by Brit ain, Australia, Brazil, Cuba, the Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan and the Philippines, permits the U.N. forces to remain in Korea long enough to achieve unity. It calls for elections for all Korea under U.N. sponsorship, eco nomic rehabilitation of the coun try, and a new U.N. commission of seven members to see that the directives are carried out.

Clay You, as a student in our great American colleges and univer sities, are preparing yourselves for lives of social usefulness and individual satisfactions. The education which you enjoy within these institutions of learn ing is possible only because we live in a free nation. Our citi zenship in a free society is our most precious and priceless heri tage. These are critical days for democracy and the free world. Communism has engulfed a third of the world, and is bent on still further aggression. The struggle now going on between the free nations of the world and inter national Communism is essen tially a conflict of ideas. The United States is making a mass bid for world totalitarianism a bid which rests in large part upon complete and ruthless mis representation of American ideals and aims. As students of history, litera tures, political, physical and so cial sciences, you know that what men believe to be true has been as important as the truth itself in determining human events. If we are ever to achieve a secure and lasting peace, the other peoples of the world must know the truth. They must understand our ideals of freedom and friendship for all men and all nations.
