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 Talk —
Slue Autumn Sky and October Days Inspire
Neighbor to Greet You with Nice Day’
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS
LINCOLN — Mid-October.
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

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

Senator Taft of Ohio is one of

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.

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.

looking for a job to earn enough
