Opportunity Offered In America
By DEW1TT MACKENZIE
Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst
General Dwlght D. Eisenhower, in his capacity as president of
Columbia university, has urged his big army of students to seek
opportunity rather than security.
"The best example of perfect security," he said, "Is a man
serving a life term In a federal prison."
General Ike was speaking for a
lot of us when ne said that, c f

course, everybody wants reason-
able security. But what terrifies
the average citizen oi any coun
try which encourages private ini
tiative is the thought of a regi
mented security a security
which he can't escape because
it's lust too darned good,
One encounters this thought In
many quarters these changing
days. J ran Into an interesting
example oi it down in tne sub
terranean labyrinth of passages
and stores beneath New York's
Rockefeller Plaza in which the
AP headquarters building stands.
Among the shop-keepers of the
underground city Is Joseph Suoz-
zi. a friendly Italian-American of
72 who runs two shoe-shining and
quick repair establishments. 1
dropped in on him for a shine
and found him fuming over a
newspaper headline.
One Man's Experience
Why is it," he exploded, "that
there are people, many of them
from foreign lands, who are out
to turn this wonderful country of
opportunity into a totalitarian
slate? Heaven itself couldn't pro
vide greater opportunities than
tnis wonaeriui America; iney
should have had my experience!"
"Tell me about It." I replied.
"I was thirteen years old when
I landed in New York In 1890 aa
an immigrant from a town near
NaDles." said Suozzl. "I was
alone, for my family remained in
Italy, but I had $5 in my pocket
and friends in New York. It was
great adventure.
"T imtit" intn a fnnnrtrt no n
molder's helper for $3 a week,
and finally earned $6 or $7 a
week.
"In seven years I saved $400
and lost it in a bank crash. But
I had faith. I said: Here a man
can rise. He has opportunities'.
So I carried on, and when I was
21 I became naturalized. Amer
ica was my country.
Meets Famous Men
"Among the various Jobs I had
was that of elevator man at the
old Hotel Manhattan. There I
formed a speaking acquaintance
with many famous men Theo
dore Roosevelt, William Howard
Taft, William McKinley, John D.
Rockefeller Sr. That's the sort of
thing that can happen in Ameri
ca. "Welt things moved along all
right with me. I got married and
there were five children. We re
turned to Italy for a bit "to 'be
with my people, and there I ex
perienced the evils of the Musso
lini dictatorship. We were glad
to get 'back to free America. In
1929 I established these two shoe
shining shops and we have done
all rltrhr.
"If immigrants told their chll-
what America offers, there
wouldn't be so many subversive
elements at work. Here we have
freedom and opportunity.
"Thank Uod lor Amerjca."
