Eisenhower In Inaugural Speech Says America Must’ Continue To Assume The Responsibility Of The Free World's Leadership gAssigns Subordinate ‘Role To Domestic “Affairs; Urges Strength Against Aggression “SBy MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH SWASHINGTON — Dwight D. Eisenhower took office as presi- dent ‘today and dedicated his ad- ee tation to winning “‘an earth yeace’’ without cver placating a@ibegzressor by trading America’s Rotor for security. In his prepared inaugural ad- drecc, the first Republican chief executive in 20 years set forth mine “rules of conduct” for achievement of lasting world Peace, and declared: *“By their observance, an earth of peace may become not a vision but a fact. “This hope—this supreme aspir- ation—must rule the way we live.” from the inaugural platform on the steps of the Capitol, right after he took the oath of office, was de- vimted almost entirely to the inter- Mational situation—and to a call for the free nations of the world to unite against the forces of aggres- mn. Eisenhower asked too for divine guidance for :the new administra- tion. Eisenhower, trained in the ways of war, dwelt on peace as the goal of al! Americans and freedom-lov- ing people everywhere. But he ¢a!’:1 for a strong America and declared, “We shaJl never try to « Placate an,aggressor by the false and wicked bargain of trading hon- ‘or for security.” . The inaugural document dealt ‘Only obliquely with domestic af- fairs. The emphasis ¢n foreign po!- icy—svecifically, on the idea of * world-wide -eollective security —po'ated the new administration’s course in more of an internation- alist direction than heretofore has had the backing of some GOP con- &res:‘onal leaders, Efcenhower left no doubt he feels the U. S. must continue to play a /~ vole of world leadershiv. He said, “We are persuaded by necessity and belief that the strength of all free peoples lies in unity, their danger in discord,” and dded: i “Tp produce this unity, to meet ingeé of our time, destiny upon our country the re- lity of the free world’s Tend ship.” Fe’: in the future which binds belongs as well to the ° cane world, he said. go fh a common dignity @ipon the French soldier who dies “in Tidochina, the British soldier Kile] in Malaya, the American Kile in Korea," he added. cnhower talked of “the ecupations absorbing us at ; ms.’ Ee said that while “we are concerned with matters that affect our livelihood tod~y end our vision of the’future, each of these domestic problems is dwarfed by, and often even creatzd, by, this gest'on that involves all human "survival of the free world.

Eisenhower called it “the first task of statesmanship” to develop strength against aggression, But the man who led the Allied forces to victory over Germany in World War Il—the man who head- ed Western Europe’s new defense forces until he entered politics last June—declared the U. S. stands ready to co-operate in a drastic re- duction of armaments, provided all nations prove good faith. Appealing for a demonstration of such faith, Eisenhower had in ‘mind perhaps America’s develop- jment of such weapons as the hy- drogen bomb in saying: “Science seems ready to confer on us, as its final gift, the power to erase human life from the earth.” Here are the “rules of conduct” Eisenhower laid down for achieve- ment of enduring world peace: “1. Abhorring war as a chosen way to balk the purposes of those who threaten us, we hold it to be the first task of statesmanship to develop the strength that will de- ter the forces of aggression and promote the conditions of peace. .. “In spite of this principle, we stand ready to engage with any and all others in joint effort to re- move the causes of mutual fear and distrust among nations, and | so to make possible drastic reduc- |tion of armaments. The sole req- uisites for undertaking such an ef- fort are that—in their -purpose— |they be aimed logically and hon- estly toward secure peace for all; ‘and that—in their result—they pro- |vide means by which every par- ticipating nation will prove good faith in carrying out its Pledge. “2, Realizing that common sense and common decency alike dictate the futility of appeasement, we shall never try to placate an ag- gressor by the false and wicked bargain of trading honor for se- curity. ... ‘3. Knowing that only a United ; States. that is strong and immense- ly productive can help defend free- dom in our world, we view our nation’s strength and security as a trust. upon which rests the hope of free men everywhere. . . . “4, Honoring the identity and heritage of each nation of the |world, we shall never use our ; Strength to try to impress upon ;anotier people our own cherished Political and economic institutions. “5. Assessing realistically the needs and capacities of proven friends of freedom, we shall strive |to help them to achieve their own curity and well-being. Likewise, we shall count on them to assume, within the limits of their resources, their full and just burdens in the common defense of freedom. “6. Recognizing economic health as an indispensable basis of mili- tary strength and the free world’s peace, we shall strive to foster everywhere, and to practice our- selves, policies that encourage pro- ductivity and profitable trade. For ‘he impoverishment of any single people in the world means danger to the well-being of all other peo- ples. “7. Appreciating that economic jmeed, military security and politi- cal wisdom combine to suggest {regional groupings of free peoples, we hope, within the framework of the United Nations, to help e-ethen such special bonds the world over. The nature of these +S must vaty with the different ~roblems of different areas. “In the Western Hemisphere, we join with all our neighbors in the work of perfecting a community of THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Tuesday, January 20, 1953 controlled Congress would be sat-|fraternal trust and common pur- pose. “In Europe, we ask that enlight- ened and inspired leaders of the Western nations strive with re- newed vigor to make the unity of their peoples a reality... . “8 Conceiving the defense of freedom, like freedom itself, to be one and indivisible, we hold all continents and peoples in equal regard and honor. We reject any insinuation that one race or anoth- erl one people or another, is in any sense inferior or expendable. ‘9. Respecting the United Na- tions as the living sign of all peo- ple’s hope for peace, we shall hope for peace, we shall strive to make it not merely an eloquent symbol but an effective force. And in our quest of honorable peace, we shall neither compromise, nor tire, nor ever cease.” Eisenhower called his nine “rules of conduct” basic precepts, “not lofty abstractions, far re- moved from the matters of daily living.” He added: “They are the laws of spiritual strength that generate and define our material strength. “Patriotism means equipped forces and a prepared citizenry. Moral stamina means more energy and more productivity, on the farm and in the factory. “Love of liberty means the guarding of every resource that makes freedom possible—from the sanctity of oar families and the wealth of our soil to the genius of scientists.” As he did so often during the campaign, Eisenhower said the peace the world seeks is “nothing less than the practice and fulfill- ment of our whole faith, among ourselves and in our dealings with others.” Then he said: “It signifies more than stilling the guns, easing the sorrow of war. “More than an escape from death, it is a way of life. “More than a haven for the weary, it is a hope for the brave. “This is the hope that beckons us onward in this century of trial. This is the work that awaits us all, to be done with bravery, with charity—and. with prayer to Al- mighty God.” Russia Gets Bid To London Parley. WASHINGTON (®—The United States has called on Russia to attend a big-four deputies meeting Jan. 30 in London to discuss an Austrian settlement. The State Department disclosed today that invitation was sent to Moscow Wednesday. No reply has yet been received. The call for a new meeting fol- lows up a note to Moscow sent last Monday which put Russia on notice that such an invitation would be issued shortly. The proposed meeting backs up a resolution passed by. the United Nations Dec. 20 appealing to the United States, Russia, Britain and France to make a new effort to agree on a settlement and remove their occupation trvops. Four-power efforts to write such a pact have long been stalled. Rus- sia declined to send a representa- tive to discuss a proposed “stream- lined treaty” last summer. The first appropriation for what became Harvard University was made in 1636. Harvard University takes its name from John Harvard who died in 1638, leaving the school his ‘library and half his estate.

Industria Commission Job Is Abolished TALLAHASSEE W—A reorgan- ization of the “top brass” designed to save about $60,000 a year has been voted by the Florida Indus- trial Commission. The new commission — Chair- man James T. Vocelle, industry member H. E. Wolfe and labor member Leroy Weston — abol- ished the $9,000 a year job as chief administrative officer, the $6,900 a year posts as public relations counsel and procurement officers and the $5,760 a year berth as supervisor of office supplies, In recommending abolishment of the chief administrative offi- cer’s post, Chairman Vocelle said it seemed to him there was ‘too much of what is called ‘top brass’ in the department.” The reorganization leaves the Just wait the “Scat” gear!

He will take over with his other’ duties the de- partment of information formerly headed by George Hopkins, whose post as public relations chief was dropped. Hugh E. Williams, who held the chief administrative officer’s job, was shifted to the workmen’s com- pensation division as head of spe- cial services at $575 a month. ‘The reorganization also embrac- es the deputy commissioners’ dis- tricts, with the new lineup calling for 14 deputies instead of 15. Vo- celfe said the revamping of dis- tricts would save about $10,000 a | this year. The former three-man staff of investigators of private employ- ment agencies was trimmed to one man for an estimated saving of $10,000 yearly. F. R. Harrison, former beverage department chief enforcement officer when Vocelle was beverage director under Gov, Caldwell, was named to the in- vestigators’ post. Charles M. Mann, head of. the contributions division, was given | the additional duties of procure- ment officers. The former procure- ment chief, J. P. Ivey, has re- signed and will not te replaced. Pruitt Wilson, who had been su- pervisor of office supplies, was named secretary to the commis- sion at $6,000 a year. This post was not filled the past four years. Wilson formerly held it. Vocelle informed the other com- missions he already had effected a reorganization of the building custodial staff which will cut the annual payroll by $11,700.
