Must Rise To Challenge Os Times, Says UNO President World War 111 Not Inevitable, Gordon Gray Tells Audience At Annual Chamber Meet; Gives Plan For Meeting Challenge Os Communist Aggression A soft-spoken university president detailed for a Dunn ai|d Puce Thursday night a four-pronged plan for meeting , world crisis—and a alternative Tor dodging that responsibility. Gordon Gray, president of the University of North Carolina, for mer Secretary of the Army and adviser to the President, said that the United States must first match strength with strength in order to meet the challenge of widening Communist aggression. “We must rise to the challenge of our times," he said, “build our own military strength and be in a po sition to deter aggression. “The easy way to invite war is to be too weak to wage it.” To back this general theme, Gray gave the other three requirements for preservition of the world’s free dom: Continue to aid our European allies, provided they will make an adequate effort on their own part. GENERATE HOPE “Somehow generate hope to areas of the earth open to Red infiltra tion” and, by helping them to ban ish the “grinding, erosive effects of poverty and distress,” prove that the democratic dream is away of life for all. Withdraw to the country’s own borders if all else fails. The alternatives which the form er Winstor-Salem publisher spurn ed were: 1. Preventive war—“We mstic tively shrink from it.” 2. Appeasement— “Recent his tory taught at least some lesson there.” 3.
