Purchase Of Seals
SALEM, March S Governor
Douglas McKay has urged support
of the 1950 Easier Seal aale of the
Oregon Society for Crippled Cnil
dren and Adults. The aale opened
today and continuea through Eas
ter Sunday, April 9.
"Funds from Easter Seala mean
that the 10,000 crippled children
in Oregon will have a better op
portunity to become participating,
self-sufficient members of their
communities," the chief executive
stated. '
McKay aaid that purchase of
Easter Seala "is our duty and, at
the same time a splendid oppor
tunity to strengthen our democra
tic principles by action."
An estimated 400.000 Easter Sesls
will be mailed to Oregon residents
during the month-long sale, accord
ing to Howard Feast, executive
director of the society.
U. S. Able To Win War,
Gen. Bradley's Opinion
(Continued from page One)
we are progressing rapidly in this
field."
Economy Te Be Considered -
Over a long period of peacetime,
he aaid, the United Statea "should
not expect to match the Soiet
union plane for plane, ship for
ship, division for division without
lowering its standard of living."
"If it is the desire of the Ameri
can people to assemble forces that
will statistically give the United
Statea a preponderance of military
nower neyt vir thn u ch.ll hmtrm
declared. Such a source eventually
"will be a drain, not only on the
economy, but on democracy and its
many freedoms," he added.
Bradley said that international
tension, increased since President
Truman's announcement last Sep
tember of an atomic explosion
in Russia, "has fostered national
confusion." He urged American
leaders to dispel thia confusion by
"thinking sensibly, calmly, and
clearly about national security."
