MONDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 15. 1952 Ike Makes First Report On Visit Tniisn Speaks At Mestlsa Os New i briiie WASHINGTON OP) Pres ident Truman said today Americans will “destroy the very thing they are strug gling to preserve’ if hysteri cal fear of Communism driv es them in to “suppressing liberty at home.” He spoke at ceremonies dedicat ing a permanent new shrine for the three great documents of this na tion’s heritage of freedom—the Dec laration of Independence, the Con stitution and the Bill of Rights. DIGNITARIES PRESENT The ceremonies, attended by Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson and other dignitaries, took place in the Na tional Archives Building where henceforth the priceless documents will be displayed together for the first time in a fire-proof, bomb proof repository designed to pro tect them from the ravages of time or atomic war. Mr. Truman said the ideals of hu man liberty which the documents ■epresent are now endangered from without by “Communist tyranny” and from within by those who would surpass freedom of speech and thought in the name of fighting Communism. “Those who want the govern ment to regulate matters of the nind and spirit are like men who are so afraid of being murdered that they commit suicide to avoid assassination,” he said. Mr. Truman acknowledged that “there are dangers in religious free dom and freedom of opinion." and also that “alarm is justified” about the Communist threat to Ameria’s way of life. ; -But, he said, “alarm is one thing, ignd hysteria is another.

Presi dent-elect Eisenhower favor ed today a policy of deeds in stead oi' words' to “induce” the Communists to want peace in Korea. He spelled out his philosophy in a prepared statement released fol lowing his return Sunday from a 20,000-mile trip that took him into forward areas of the Korean battle zone. Eisenhower said his long journey to the embattled far eastern penin sula "marks not the end but the beginning of a new effort to con clude honorably this phase of the global struggle.” ‘This is not the to state more than that resolve,” Ire said, "for we face an enemy whom we connot hope to impress by words, however eloquent, but only by deeds—executed under circum stances by our own choosing.” Eisenhower said he was confi dent a satisfactory solution in Korea can be speeded.” "I know it will demand common sense and care, much foresight and much patience.” he said. “But no more in Korea than anywhere else in the world is honorable peace beyond the power of free men to achieve when they pursue it intelligently and energetically.” Eisenhower’s wish to hasten the end of the war with deeds and not words brought general ap plause from members of Congress.
