C., WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 11, 1953 Ike Leads US In Tributes On Armistice WASHINGTON (UP) President Eisenhower set aside the cares of the cold war briefly today to lead the nation in an observance of the armistice that ended World War I exactly 35 years ago. Mr. Eisenhower planned to lay a wreath on the Tomb of the Un known Soldier in traditional cere monies in Arlington National Cem etery. Henri Bonnett, the- French am bassador to the United States, pre ceded him to the plain white mar ble monument to lay a wreath In commemoration of the blood Amer icans and French shed together in France. Across the nation, veterans of XT. S. wars marched in parades. Relatives laid flowers c 3 the weathered graves. National, state and civic leaders made speeches. DEAN HONORED Maj: Gen. William F. Dean, a hero of the Korean war, spent the day in his old home town of Car-, lyle, 111., where a suspension bridge was being dedicated in his name. One of the speakers in the cere mony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, was Army Secretary Rob ert T. Stevens. Another was Ar thur J. Connell, national command er of the American Legion. In his prepared address, Connell said the nation must preserve its strength, for experience has shown that “great sacrifices in time of war” are “averted by small sacrifi ces in time of peace.” , “We have been drawn into one conflict after another not by fate but by out failure to maintain strong spiritual and military de fenses,” he said. --TTf * Tnajorttjr W<Americana have traditionally burned their backs on these realities once the bullets have ceased to fly. With the Increase in the cost and destructive power of weapons, this course has become ever more attractive and ever more dangerous. “Pray God we .shall not travel It again.” he said.

And erson said In Birmingham, Ala, that the United States must build military power “superior to all ene my capabilities” and able to deal with anything from border raids to all-out war.

Y, that Ameri ca’s experience in war his shown that “peaceful Intentions are not enough.” “The effectiveness of our dip lomacy can be no greater than our ability to back It up with mili tary force,” he said.

WASHINGTON (UP) President Eisenhower said today he believes former President Truman and Jus tice Tom C. Clark should not have been subpenaed by the House Un-American Ac tivities Committee. The chief executive, in answer to news conference questions, also said he did not believe Truman had knowingly appointed a man identi fied as a Communist spy to public office. Eisenhower said he found such a conclusion inconceivable and did not believe a man in the presi dency would knowingly injure the United States. Elsenhower’s attitude raised the possibility that the Congressional quizzing of Truman to the Harry Dexter White case might be called off. But that apparently was to the hands of Rep. Harold H.
