Mtkuaa raw. per e rear, 111.00: su months, W.50; By Charles IKES FAITH Faith! Faith in God, faith in the American people, faith in American tradition, faith in American strength, faith in ability of American people to meet any test the future may holdthese tenets seemed to us to pervade every word, ev ery sentence, uttered by Dwight D. Eisenhower as he enter- ed upon his duties as rresiaeni in wo Every person who stood in the vast audience at Wash- inirton, every person Tvno vieweu iue t v ." sion screens, every person who listened by radio doubtless had hi individual impression. No two spectators respond identically to any scene or circumstance. But listening the new President's words, and reading them in text, it seemed to us that the predominating theme was laitn. And how we need faith! For two decades we have been taught fear. Crisis has been piled upon crisis. Our nerves have been exposed to cold wars designed to keep us disturbed. . For purposes of political expediency and preservation of power, we have been propagandized by our own leaders until many pople have lost faith in our government, in our strength, in our talents, in our destiny, and even in God. We have become bewildered, uncertain, frustrated, unreasoning, apprehen sive. , . i . , We have learned for the first time in our history to fear - defeat to fear economic depression, to fear overproduction, to fear unemployment, to fear political change, to fear for eign ideology, to fear responsibility. Should Read History America has become timorous through the insidious workings of politically-inspired propaganda. We need most urgently a review ot American nistory. We feel today that we are ringed by powerful enemies and are facing virtually- impossible odds. Are the odds against us today as great as those which faced the stalwart band of inspired revolutionary patriots who defeated the world's then greatest military power to give birth to our Republic? If America could be born from the travail of Val ley Forge, cannot the American of today measure up to the heriosm of his ancestors? We fear financial depression. - Because of bitter exper ience we have adopted national policies based on fear. We limit production. We manipulate government to keep labor in short supply. We resort to featherbedding, slow-downs, make-work to support a policy of shortages. We live in con stand dread of economic recession. But have we not lived through depressions, in the past? And have we not come through each with greater unity and better understanding? ' -We have an inspiring record of our ability to work to gether under extreme pressure, to pool our talents, our strength and bur determination our effort. Is there any good lost our capacity for unity? Need Revival Of Faith: American needs today a revival of faith in itself; vlval of faith in our divinely guided destiny. : ,-. We may expect sacrifice, we may expect hardship, we mav exDect financial reverses. Rut. them in tin o-nnH rensnn we need fear sacrifice, hardship or financial losses. We ' have experienced those things before and have emerged ' each time purified by the experience of our common suf fering. . Today we have cause to believe in America. Our new President speaks words of humble but firm confidence. He does not speak with the tbngue of fear, nor does he frighten : us with a picture of our encirclement bv ideolozical enem ies. Instead he telis not only - we lace tne tnreat not with dread and confusion but with confidence and conviction." America can meet its challenge, can dishanre its re sponsibility, can fulfill its destiny if it will but heed the words of its new leader: "this change expresses a purpose of strengthening our dedication and devotion to the precepts ui our iounaing documents, a conscious renewal of faith in our country and in the watchfulness of a Divine Providence." vveu, u in an right with you. halrdoca, frock coats, and gener I'll continue with this fascinating ally a bit wild-eyed as they dis- inuMui ui wnai uie I'resments navt Worn.

Lattimore was indicted for al legedly lying to the Senate Inter nal Security Sub-Committee, on seven occasions, including one in which he denied ever promoting Communist Party causes. The sev en alleged lies are the only issues involved Lattimore has long popped off about what the U.S. should do in Asia, including a deathless state ment that we "should let South Korea fall" without acting like we pushed it into the Communist or bit. When he was called up to ex- plain his views, and his lengthy associations with some peculiar American cituens working in Chi na for the American government, his cohorts started yapping about free speech, academic freedom and persecution. They are still at it. There is a professor at Johns Hopkins University named George Boas, He is drumming up contri butions at the moment for a de fense fund for Lattimore. The first estimate is that $40,000 will be needed. The first source of pro spective donors being tapped is the Johns Hopkins faculty. Boas wrote to each one. His letter fol lows: "Dear Colleague: "Several members of the fac ulty have appealed to me to start a defense fund for Owen Latti more who will be brought to trial presumably in March. I am of course happy to do this, for Mr, Lattimore has already been put to heavy expense and in the long run nu cause is ours. "The trustees have already act ed in a nenerous soirit consistent with the Johns Hopkins tradition and It would be gratifying to show that Uie faculty also appreciates the significance of this trial. I am accordingly '.pcning an account with the First National Bank with the sum of ibout $"00 which has already been contributed. "You will' find below a blank form on which you may indicate the amount of your contribution Two alternatives are suggested: (1) A payment in one sum; (2) Monthly payments to be continued as long as you see fit. Since it is estimated that about $40,000 will be needed, you can see that the second alternative is preferable. "It is expected that during the current month a national fund wiil be started also of which our fund wl" 1,0 ln nucleus, wnaiever you ' ,ributc wi be d , Jci. I a ted not only by Mr. Lattimore ; but also by everyone who feels I that the Issues of academic free- I that the issues of a dom and free speech are on trial be interesting tn sec how the con test comes out, based on the num ber who contribute and the amounts. I doubt if anyone will protest If the university faculty wants to make Lattimore's cause Its own. At least I won't. However, it should be made clear that free speech and acade mic freedom have nothing to do with I perjury trial, least of all this one. To my own personal knowledge Lattimore has uttered several mil lion words since he was first called as a witness before the McCarran sub-committee of the Senate. And he wrote a book, "Ordeal by Slan der," which was hot off the pres ses with conclusions about what the Tydings 'vhitewash committee of the Senate would say about him long before the committee pub .i.'h,n1 us own report. As for academic freedom, Lat- Circumstances Alter Cases King Features Syndicate , limore Is still a salaried member of the Johns Hopkins faculty He also has collected a little tax free United Nations cash while endur ing his so-called ordeal by slander. Professor Boas also is free to cir culate his hand-out petition in Lal timore's behalf, and the trustees of the university, according to Boas, have acted in a "generous spirit." That could mean they've kicked In some university funds tn helD defend the Baltimore Bu gle, but Boas doesn't make it clear U this is the case. At any rate, nobody Is gagging Lattimore or anyone else who wants to say something in his be half. In fact, if anybody tries to silence a professor anxious to join the Lattimore team, I'll personally start a fund to find him a plat form where we can hear his ora torv. The smart professors at Johns Hopkins undoubtedly appreciate "the significance of this trial," as Boas reminds them. So do most of the non-professors I know, in cluding the bulk of the American people now trying to learn what brought about the disaster in Ko rea. The significance is this: Whether a witness under oath did or did not lie to a congressional committee that, and nothing more. Los Angeles Schools Ban UNESCO Teaching LOS ANGELES I The school board has banned the UNESCO urogram from the Los Angeles ! public schools. I The board heard four hours of : ncaieu uiscussion ior an., aguwsi the program last night, then voted to ban it from the curriculum. It had been used in modified form since last year, when organised op position developed to Its presenta tion of a separate, specialized sub ject. The school board decreed, how ever, that the schools shall "con tinue to teach subjects of human relations and moral and spiritual values." Opponents of the program said that UNESCO material given stu dents was "designed to promote world government." Spokane Polict Swoop Down On Night Spots SPOKANE Ml Sixty eight nnlirft nffirer swnnnpH itnwit nn 13 Spokane night 'spots early Sun - day morning and arrested 17 per sons in one of the state's biggest liquor raids. Those arrested were booked on charges of illegal possession of liquor. Earl Foster of the state liquor board, nho called the raid one of the state's largest, said warrants have been issued for sev eral other men, mostly taxi drivers. Two county night spots plus 11 in the city were raided. Outbreak Of Influenza Closes Idaho School RATHDRUM. Idaho - An Influenza outbreak kept 125 of 260 students home here Tuesday and officials decided to close Rathdrum schools until Monday. Dr. Carl Hankins, the school ad ministrator, announced the grade and high school will be closed after classes Tuesday afternoon for the rest of the week. A check of other schools in the area showed the flu wasn't near as severe else where. Three of the eight Rathdrum teachers were absent Monday. - In the Day's News (Continued From Page One) are pulled, here can be no hope of lasting freedom in the world. That's the grim truth. . Ike has the courage to face it. He calls for a STRONG Amer ica, and declares: We shall never try to placate an aeeressor bv the laise and wicked bargain of trading Donor for security.' He's talking about appeasement. The best explanation ol appease ment is orovided bv the (probably mythical) story of the Russian and his family who were fleeing on in their sledge through the snowy forest, pursued by hungry wolves The father sought to PLACATE the wolves. To save the rest of bis family, he threw out a child. The wolves merely gobbled it and came on. ...- He threw out another child. And so on. Each child thrown to the wolves whetted their appetites for more. The sustenance provided by their flesh and their blood strengthened the ravening beasts. In the end, the whole family perished. ' That's appeasement. Ike says we'll have no more o( it. What of domestic problems? We have plenty of them. Ike's case is an example. He gets an annual salary (as President; of $100,000. In addition, he gets an expense account of (50.000. Both his salary and his expense account are taxable. The tax on the whole amount is 95, 000. Out of $150,000 earned, he has $55,000 left. That is a heavy burden. But it's typical of the burden carried by the nation's economy. Sure, $55, 000 is a lot of money. But the President of the United States has heavy expenses. And Ike isn't a rich man. If every cent of his taxes was wisely spent, if there was no waste, no boondoggling. I imagine Ike would have no comolaint. Nor would you and I. But you know and I know and Ike knows that isn't the case. There JS waste. There IS boondoggling. No nation can stand the burden of waste and boondoggling under which we have struggled in re cent years and SURVIVE IN THE FACE OF A POWERFUL AND RELENTLESS FOE. The waste and the boondoggling must be CUT OUT. That's a big domestic job Don't expect miracles. There will be none. The thing for all of us to do is to buckle down and go to work. The seriousness of Ike's demeanor throughout this hulabaloo that we call inauguration ! reveals that he understands fully the gravity of the job he is tack ling. Train Derailed; 1 Killed 64 Persons' Are Injured SIOUX LOOKOUT, Ont. I - A 10-car Montreal-Winnipeg train de railed Tuesday, killing a railroad worker and Injuring M persons.

Tornado Swishes Across Corvallis CORVAIXIS W A tornado bounced across the southern part of Corvallis Tuesday morning, rip ping off roofs, shattering glass and toppling ireea. nerc w -porta of people injured.

Tnere were a few complaints, but not many. Some said they couldn't hear the speech very well from where they were sitting. Some said Eisenhower's speech was nit specific enough , to suit them.

Wiley (R-Wis) who heads the important Senate Foreign Re lations Committee, called the speech "a magnificent reaffirma tion of the faith and confidence with which we face the future. "There is not a line In it that all Americans cannot heartily en dorse." Wiley said, "and it will be warmly apnlauded throughout the free world." Sen.
