Eisenhower and Crusade for Freedom Gpn. Dwight D. Eisenhowpr has called for the people of this country to rededicate themselves to the cause of freedom. He sug gests the establishment of a new radio network to carry truth into the Soviet sphere behind the Iron Curtain and denounces “Com munist distortion” of the truth about the operations and policies of the United States. The General was speaking in behalf of the Crusade for Freedom, now being directed by Gen. Lucius Clay, for the purpose of estab lishing a network of radio stations in Europe, to be operated with out governmental restrictions for the purpose of fighting the “big lie” of Communism with the “big truth” of free countries. General Eisenhower points out that one private station, Radio Free Europe, is now operating in Western Germany, carrying a daily message of hope and encouragement to a small part of the masses of Europe. He thinks that Communist propaganda can be offset by the truth if we can get it to the subject peoples of the Communist stales. Pointing out that “Communists teach that America is a vicious enemy of humanity,” General Eisenhower says that the people be hind the Iron Curtain “have seen so much political wickedness and cold-blooded betrayal, such godless depravity in government that they find it hander to believe in our peaceful intent and decent mo tives than in the calculated and clever lies that Communism is spreading every hour, every day, through every broadcast and news paper that it controls." Continuing his appeal, General Eisenhower says that 150 million people of this country “must rally as one man behind our country and freedom." This means, he declares, “that we must resolutely tighten our belts, both nationally and individually," and that “we must concen trate all our resources to assure victory in this bitter and probably prolonged struggle." While it goes on, we will have to make "some temporary and partial surrender of indivdual freedom,” but this must be by our specific decision and “only partial and only tempo rary." After the crisis is over, it must be assured that "each of us will then possess every right, every privilege, every responsibility and every authority that now resides in an American citizen.

Prairieland lies peaceful be neath the blue of an autumn sky. The receding sun lights the way across hill and plain. Leaves drop from the boughs of maple and oak while oth er giants of tim berland hold a loft their green plumage. Color has faded from the flower beds and the stal wart stems of asters and zin nias stand de jected amid the ruin of balsam Romaine and. the holly Saunders hooks. The products of prairieland, hy brid and thoroughbred grains, fruits and vegetables, are abund and and the buffalo grass is at its season's best to put the fat on grazing herds on a thousand hills. Meadow larks and thrush, blackbird and robin, curlew and plover are taking wing and the little brown birds in fall and winter plumage are arriving. October days in prairieland in spire your neighbor whom you meet to greet you with, “Nice day!” They are just that. * * * If Mr. Truman has appointed his dog catcher it has not yet been made public. I don't Know just what breed there ia to deal with, but believe John l.. iLewis could handle anything from bulldog to rat terrier. * * * My last copy of The Frontier is worn to shreds. Was in an of fice building the day after re ceiving it with the paper in a coat pocket. The folks up there ask ed to see it and it became more intriguing than the month’s best seller when a lady at a desk dis covered a paragraph in this de partment that ended up with something about the melodv oi wedding bells. The copy of Editor Stewart’s fastest-growing news paper went from one oftice work er to another, into the hands of a gray-haired family man, the accomplished young secretary at her typewriter, filing clerks and also a salesman whose office equipment display was unnoticed j until the paper was recovered and I made my getaway. • * • A prison inmate has repeated- ' ly tried and repeatedly failed to get a retrial in court. Every day new trials are granted to defend ants convicted by jury trial and they probably are as guilty as Satan. When once the prison gates are closed you have no chance at a new trial. i • • • “Do some emotions that are not love resemble love?” That's a poser put out by a syndicate to which daily papers subscribe. • • • Senator Taft of Ohio is one of the country's very few great statesmen. That's neither here nor there with labor union big shots who will gel the senator's official scalp if they can. It is | not able men they want in con gress but the kind that will do the bidding of union bosses. » « « Here are a few subjects ex pounded from the pulpits: “The Way to Fulfill God’s Purpose,” as the apostle of one cult sees it. “Satan Unmasked.” It is inter esting to learn that the Old Boy wears a mask. “Behind the Eur opean Scene.” We are getting some of that notv from a thumb sticking out from the mainland of Asia. "God's First Question.” fie is not asking our shabby out fit how to guide the stars and suns and moons and worlds out there in the depths of eternity. “Would That Even Today You Knew the Things That Make for Peace.” Conditions of peace are simple but humanity would rath er scrap. “Are Sin, Disease and Death Real?” So very real we are sometimes frightened at our shadow. * * * Traffic tragedies have become commonplace. They rate a few lines in the papers. The injured are taken to hospitals, the dead to the graves. Venture forth to travel streets and highways at the risk of never returning. So common has become the death blow that the sympathetic tear springs no longer spontaneous. A young father, his young wife, their two children reported kill ed when a train hits their auto mobile. A whole family sacrificed on the altar of today's travel. Too bad, but nothing that amounts to a hoot has yet been devised to prevent such things. WWW One day’s growth in our na tional debt is said to amount to $15,000,000. As long as credi tors are willing to take the risk prairieland dwellers will not worry. • * * When in 1729 BC some of the sons of Jacob proposed to kill their brother Joseph because he was having dreams they didn’t like, Judah said “What profit is it if we slay our brother?” The lure of profit prevailed and young Joseph was sold to some nomads headed for Egypt. The lure of profits took root early with the ancestors of the modern Jew and he still has the world leadership ! in dickering the profit. * * * They had an amazon down in the city jail the other day that kicked the daylights out of things in her prison cell. She told the judge, “I was kind of mad.” She had kicked the windshield from the patrolman’s car who brought her in. The inebriated madness netted the dame $30 in fines and what else has not been made pub lic. • • • A sheepherder showed up in Philadelphia after a walk with his dog of 3,000 miles from the starting point at Seattle. He was looking for a job to earn enough for a trip to Germany to visit his mother. Venetian blinds, prompt delivery, made to measure, metal or wood, all colors.—J. M. McDonald Co..
