(Fairbanks News-Miner) | On July 18, Senator Styles Bridges, Republican of New Hampshire spoke the following words in the | United States Senate: | “Mr. President, gallant American fighting men are dying in Korea. Vastly outnumbered by a foe which despises the value of human life, our forces are fight- ing a delaying action. Why do they fight, Mr. Presi- dent? To restore the peace? “Mr. President, five years ago our fighting men laid down their arms. They had fought World War 1I. Their gallantry had won that war. The sacrifices of those who fought, the sacrifices of those who died, the sacrifices of those left behind, had been made for one purpose: Peace. “America fought World War II to gain but one objective: Permahent Peace. Our fighting men had a right to expect that the cause they advanced would be carried forward, that the world would know the beginning of Permanent Peace. “Peace is worth fighting for, Mr. President. But there are reports from Korea of bitterness and frus- tration. Our fighting men know of the epic failure of our efforts to establish a lasting peace. It is small wonder if there are some who feel bitter. “The essence of government is to foresee the fu- ture. This administration, like the preceding admin- istration, has failed. This nation cannot afford further failure. We must know where we are going. We must chart a course. We must take heed of our News Office, 602; Business Office, 374. 20—Cloudy | 34—Cloudy | «... -26—Clear 13-—Partly Cloudy 36—Rain, Snow | e =13—SNOW | -zl—Partly Cloudy 0—Cloudy . 12—Snow . =19—Clear 24—Cloudy 36—Cloudy -35—Clear 8—Snow -5—Clear ~-4—Cloudy . 25—Cloudy 42—Cloudy -5—Snow 38—Fog 37—Cloudy -4—Cloudy 30—Snow | eeccecccce MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to 1t nr not other- sy, credifed n 'this pAver and also the local news published erein.

Up for confirmation by the Sen- ate, she was accused of being a former Communist member of the| John Reed Club and for days her name with its alleged Communist/ ccnnection was featured in the headlines.

Bombay, read: “Have negotiated immediate establishement Pakistan Thompson submachine gun fac- tory.” + It was this same Freedman who put Fulton Lewis’s legman and Sen- | ator McCarthy’s investigator in| touch with ex-Communist Ralph De Sola, the chief witness against Mrs. Rosenberg.
