Truman Explains

Speaking in Colorado a few
days-, ago President Truman- ex
plained why he is opposing
Dwight D. Eisenhower for the
Presidency.
A partial text of Truman's
speech follows:

expressed by t+ie student news

the university of which (General
Eisenhower) is president.
In a recent article, that news
paper said, referring to the great
crusade that the Republican can

tion in Chicago.
“The great crusade, passing
through the stage of great com
promise, must now be called the
great disenchantment."
The newspaper went on to say
that the Republican candidate
j has compromised every principle
to the dictates of party strategy."
"Xnl; that hits the nan on the
head. It has been a sad experi
ence foi me. I have gone through
a disenchantment, too, in learn
ing that a man I admired can
'change his convictions so quickly
and sc easily.
He has openly compromised his
principles on foreign policy.
Before the Chicago convention,
everybody thought the general
had real convictions on foreign
policy. That was the big issue. Or
so it appeared, between the peo
ple who supported him at Chicago
and the eople who supported Sen
ator Taft.
When he talked the other day
in Michigan, the home state of
the great Senator Vandenberg—
who was a Republican of deep
'and honest convictions—the ,gen-*
'oral sounded almost like Vanden
, berg. He spoke glowingly of the
! bipartisan cooperation that had
'produced what he called the "for
eign policy achievements” uf the
past few years. Among these
achievements, he mentioned spe
eically the program of aid that
saved Greece and Turkey from
[communism, and the Marshall
Plan of aid to the other free coun
tries of western Europe.
But the very next dty he went
down to Illinois, which is the
home territory of the isolationist
Chicago Tribune and the isola
tionist Senator Dirksen. In Illi
1 nois, he had no trouble at all talk
ing like an isolationist. He sneered
1 at the same policies of aid to
Greece ail'd Turkey, and of aid. to
Western Europe, that he had
praised as "achievements" the day
; before. He even attacked the Bor
I lin airlift.
And this is not the only time he
has attacked the policies he work
ed so long to build up for our de
fense and the defense of the free
! world.
The Republicans who broughl
j him back from Paris and support
ed him at Chicago did so, 1
thought, because they believed in
our policies of international co
operation among free peoples and
mutual aid against communism.
But almost immediately after his
j nomination, they saw him sur
j round Jiin^elf with the men he
had attacked as isolationists be
! fore Chicago. They now see him
; condemning our policies of inter
national cooperation which they
supported. And many of them are
not actively working for him any
longer.
He has betrayed his principles
and his followers not only on for

He has charged us with cutting
our military budgets too |»>v in
the postwar period, and perhaps
we did. Yet he himself testified
before Congress that my decision,
prior to Korea, to hold the 1951
budget down was "a very wise de
cision."
In Illinois, he talked as if he
favored ending the draft. And
he opposed universal military
training, which he used to sup
port.
When he commanded the North
Atlantic Treaty troops* in Europe,
I had every reason to believe he
was convinced of the need for a
strong national defense and for
forbigh aid * Yet, he has talked of
fantastic budget cuts of'up to $40.
000,000.000, and he has singled out
national defense and foreign aid
as the places where he will make
the cuts.

Position again. Instead of a bud
get cut of $40,000,000,000. or $20,

now promises a budget cut of
$20,000,000,000, four years from
nvw. It seems that he will give
you any figure that anybody puts
into his mouth, just so long as it
sounds like it will bring in votes.
He has tried to win votes by
playing Upon the casualties and
sacrifices in Korea. He talks about
the blunders that led up to Ko
rea. Yet, a,s Army Chief of Staff,
he joined in the decision to pull
our troops out of Korea in the first
place.

Special Insurance
For Churchgoers
An insurance company in Texas
is experimenting with a plan of
issuing insurance poHcie*..to
practice abstinence from alcohol.
The company lias alti acted con
siderable attention in recent days
because of this novel plan, with

sold.
The Christian and Temperate
Insurance Company, which re
ceived its charter in June, is the
brainchild of two brothers, mem
bers of different churches, who
say theirspolicy is the result of
two years of planning and study
ing automobile fatality records.
From their study, they arrived
at a plan to offer insurance to
church members and non-drink
ers at reduced rates—since people
in these classifications have few
er accidents than non-church
members and those who do , not
practice abstinence. This plan
warrants serious thought, since it
offers a reward to those groups
who are involved in few acci
dents.
It has often been suggested that
insurance be sold on the basis of
one's driving record. That is, an
applicant who had driven for 20
or 30 years without an accident
would receive a low insurance
rate, while the habitually careless
driver would be required to pay
higher insurance rates. This sys
tem would reward go id drivers
and require inferior .and careless
He has said that the best check
for sustaining world peace was
to take a firm stand in South Ko
rea. * ■ '
In June, the Republican candi
date has betrayed his principles,
by publicly endorsing every Re
publican candidate in the coun
try, regaidless of whether that
man is the blackest of reaction
aries, a die-hard isolationist, or
even a moral scoundrel. . . .

their accidents.
As it is, good drivers are usual
ly required to pay just as much
for insurance as poor drivers, who
regularly are involved in acci

While the Christian and Tem

Texas, might be drawing the line
of qualification rather tightly, the
motive behind their puin is sound
and it will be interesting to see
how cheaply they are able to sell
automobile insurance and still
make a reasonable profit.
"Zero Gravity" Is
Now a Possibility
—♦—
If the predictions of scientists
are accurate, you will probably
live to see the day when space
rocket passengers experience the
sensation scientists'' call "zero
gravity." The Air Force recently
released movies of two mice
which were taken as the mice tra
veled aboard a V-2 rocket, which
reached an altitude of 200,000
feet.
The movies of the two mice
show that it pays to keep ones
head. One of the mice evidently
did not appreciate; this fact, for
the movies show him struggling
wildly on the side of his contain
er, unable to control his position.
On the other hand, the mouse
that remained calm kept a grip on
his platform and stayid quiet dui
mg the weightless period He was
in command of his body and did

The simple problem of walking
might become rather complicated
