The simplicity and sin¬ cerity of the man were most impressive. In commenting on his own role and that of the Congress he said, and I quote, “I have no end to - serve, as I know you have no end to serve, except the good of the United States and that is the reason I am back in uni¬ form, and that is the reason I have the courage to appear be¬ fore this body to express my convictions. I am also aware of the very great responsibilities devolving upon you.” Since the newspapers and ra¬ dio — commentators ............-......... have report ed in detail what the General said, I will attempt to empha- size only those portions of his report that seemed most im- portant and most impressive. In the first place the General emphasized that if the free gov- ernment of ... the world ., are to . sur- .v. tt ^ 01 i , mg with Western Europe in re- sisting communism; for, as he i said “alone and isolated in a world dominated by communism we would have to wither away.” He was convinced that in Eu- j rope there is a “rejuvenation of a spirit to resist... to take the risk. 1 In the second place he em- phasized our responsibility in \ giving our European allies the strengthening of the “regenera- tion of morale’ which has grown j and can grow into something greater. America Cannot Do The Job Alone ™ The members of Congress were impressed by and agreed with the General in hb state- ment tha America could not do the job alone Our allies in Eu- rope must do their share. It was hn conclusion that .hey would do their share and that with, our encouragement and help. the will to resist and their mo- rale would be an ascending sp i ra ■ : As one Congressman ~ remarked j to me as we left the Coolidge Auditorium of the Library of L Congress where the speech was delivered, "It would be pretty hard to vote against furnishing: military aid and even troops lor Europe after listening to the General’s speech.” However, members of Con- v ess were relieved when the General emphasized that the ; furnishing of arms and equip- ment was more important than the sending of troops to Europe, at this particular time. Reciprocal Trade Agreements The House is considering a Dade County Raising Money 1 1 To Rebuild The j North End To Build Parsonage The Methodist people in the north end of the county have been raising money to build a parsonage. It would be possible to have a resident minister if he had a place to live. Tire four committies Slygo Hooker, Wildwood and Morgan- ville which make up the Wild¬ wood charge have been working to raise money for this parson¬ age. They now have pledged $2,500 and a parsonage will be built. three year extension of the Re- ciprocal Trade Agreements pro- gram. General debate has been completed and a vote will be taken early in the week of Fe- bruary 5. While there is is some some opposition to the program, es pecially from the Republican members of the House and from those Congressman respresent- ing districts that are adversely affected, nonetheless there is little doubt that the bill will be Committee Consideration of Manpower Draft Continues Armed* Armed 1 Service Service 11 Commltte Committees if Z the prohem of amending our draft chief chief controversy con roversy cente centers e rs e iroSd around year I a olds ]a °in ™ the^draft^Two r* e drau - lw ° . lings s e ra ; r y apparent now: hrst .. . is . that ,. 18 year olds ^ propa Iy dot be drafted un- an 1 ™ ady wno bave een c ass ie ’ iaV( ocn ^xamme , an . p act in c ass an Un W 10 ave married , since . the Korean inva- . sion . are made , subject ...... to the be some requirement as ^ to the length of the training period before they are sent overseas or into combat.

Benefit to be gained by enter¬ ing this contest was summed up in part by what the judges, some of whom were from out of state, said when they finished their report, “All of us were deeply impressed with the mag¬ nificent progress being made in the State of Georgia, from the very smallest hamlet to the largest city. It is something that reflects great and lasting credit on the participating individuals and communities and on the!
