When that day arrives, the German Army will have to be built up from scratch, Enlistments wili be opened and officers will be re- cruited, but these are only the first steps. Tactics have changed much since the Germans fought in World War II and weapons will also be new and both changes will require extensive indoctrination and training. Since most observers agree that German participa-| tion in the NATO rearmament plan is almost indispens- able, it is, highly urgent that the West German govern- Ment bé allowed to begin its rearmament program as soon as possible. Meanwhile, there are expressions in Ferope, from various officials in various countries, that v German rearmament should not be hurried, in view of that country’s precarious economic situation. This, in fact, is the danger in all the West European countries which are now recovering from the war and attempting to rearm at the same time. From the above picture, it can be readily seen why United States troops will be required in Europe for some years to come. General Eisenhower is not likely to reduce the U. S. commitment in Europe until the NATO organi- | zation represents a formidable fighting machine itself. | The earlier hope, that by 1954 all U. S. troops could be home, seems to be a fading one, and it appears now that it might be several years longer before all U. S. troops will be brought home.

All three documents have been jsealed in glass cases specially de- signed to protect them from dete- rioration. Under the shrine is a 20-ton safe, with built-in elevators, against burglars, fire, bombs or water.

But invasion and conquest by Communist ideas of right and wrong would be just as bad. “For us to embrace the methods and morals of communism in order to defeat Communist aggression would be a moral disaster worse than any physical catastrophe. “If that should come to pass, then the Constitution and the Dec- laration would be utterly dead and what we are doing today would be the gloomiest burial in the history of the world.” The retiring Chief Executive | went on the say that he did not be- lieve this was going to happen, that |the ceremony marked a new dedi- cation to the ideals of liberty. that when employment is falling off and prices-are skidding it's ino time to tinker with the debt, and taxes should be cut.

The sets were among 60 radios lent by Radio Corporation of Amer- ica for use of the staff on Eisen- | hower’s special campaign train. A memorandum circulated today by James M. Lambie Jr., business manager of the Eisenhower staff, said: “Sixty RCA portable radios were lent to the Eisenhower special train staff by RCA. To date eight of those radios have been returned. It is requested that the staff members concerned examine their effects and consciences and drop off at "fhe business office any prod- uct of such examination. “RCA was doubtless taking the calculated:risk and expected a cer. tain attrition but an 87 per cent loss is perhaps a trifle high.” SPECIAL REQUEST Editor, The Citizen, I have received a request from | a near relative of the late Sub Lieutenant H.
