Mike uardesty ; 1 , Truman Asks : 1 i - 'Sacrifices to Build Defense' WASHINGTON. Sept 1 V President Truman, in a Labor Day statement, today called for equali ty of sacrifice in building defenses against "totalitarian enemies of freedom." Extending greetings I to "the great labor movement,'' he said: Our domestic responsibility at this critical period in the vnation's history is three-fold, j "First, we must develop our prOr ductive and military resources to such a peak that the totalitarian enemies of freedom will eventual ly see the madness of their mon strous program of world domina tion, v.. . ; Secretary of Defense Marshall guarantee .equality of sacrifice in the defense mobilization program. "And last, it Is our purpose to achieve these two objectives demo cratically and cooperatively." Secretar yof Defense Marshall issued a statement saying that "our success in rebuilding sfree, world defenses and in repelling threats to Jour security depends in large measure upon the productivity" of American labor." Marshall added: 'American labor has consistent ly stressed its. stake in the free way of life and has made great contri butions to the. preservation of that life. The past record of . its men and women is the firmest assur ance that they will meet the needs of these nucal times." Washington became a half empty town today as countless thousands of government workers headed for beaches, and other destinations. The . senate was in recess until Sept 4 and the house until Sept'12. , President Truman will spend a large part of Labor Day in the air, flying to the Japanese peace con ference at San Francisco.

' -'"' As part of. the university pro rram, it was arranged for the tour roup to divide and Jive with French families. This has been, for me. an outstanding feature.- - With the help of the family and a-beginning French course at the university, communication came quite rapidly. There were six other students besides four members of the family , and myself, in the hOUSe.j;' v . - - - The university itself is especially organized for foreign students. The faculty and students organize rel atively cheap entertainment There is a student center, a movie club and many student- dances. With such activities, it is very easy to form friendships. Perspective Possible Inquiring into the attitudes and ideas of. the various peoples gives much : deeper perspective of world conditions than one could hope to gain otherwise.! ' The students and the people of the dty : are very conscious of Americans, because of our impor tance, in ; trie ' world picture, and they judge xmr nation by the atti-n hides ' and "actions of i relatively few. There is much anti-American propaganda, and it is fop to. the American abroad to refute it Grenoble is a beautifully-situ ated dty of 75,000, nestled at the base of show-capped Alps in the valley! of the-Isere river. The; food has been wonderful and I am convinced the French know more about cocking than we do. This family serves a very mod est meal with little meat Their seasoning and cheeses are excel lent t ' ! In the town, crowds of peor pie glide to and fro on bicycles. and little French-made their Way through the cars honk streets. People Easy-Golng The people seem very easy-go ing.

They seem to speak five or six languages. This region of France seems fairly communistic although there have been no actual demonstra tions. The people are very individ ualistic and cherish self-assertion when their actions and thoughts clash witli others..; Climbs Mt Blane 1 The week end of our departure from Grenoble, my . roommate from Harvard and I ascended Mont Blanc, highest mountain in the Alps. We figure it to be just a lit tle under 16,000 feet It was a long grind and we were both very tired of rope, crampons and ice axes when we finally finished. It was a great adventure and an esthetic experience as well. . In Rome, a fascinating dty, the most pleasing thing was the opera, given outdoors among the ruins the Amphitheatre has a capacity of 20,000 people.
