EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. WILLIAM E. MINSHALL
OF OHIO
IN THE HOME'OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, August 12, 1958
Mr. MINSHALL. Mr. Speaker, for the
past 4 years, it has peen my privilege
and honor to represent the people of
the 23d Congressional District of Ohio
in the Congress of the United States.
As a representative of this outstanding
district, I have considered it my duty not
only to be well informed of the opinions
of the people through personal contact
and use of opinion polls, but also to be
of the greatest possible service to per-
sons having problems dealing with Fed-
eral agencies and departments. To help
accomplish this, I maintain on a year-
round basis a congressional office in
room 525 of the Federal Building in
downtown Cleveland where I can meet
with people personally during trips back
to the district when my official duties
permit. While I am in Washington, a
competent staff is in charge 0
Cleveland office.
A further service to the people
23d District is my Washington
which, in newsletter form, period
presents a concise accounting of even
and opinions on Capitol Hill.
During my service in the Congress, I
have considered it of primary importance
to be present at the Capitol whenever
Congress is in session in order to partici-.
pate in committee work and to vote on
important legislation. This year with
Congress in nearly continuous session, I
have not been able with intervening com-
mittee work to return to Cleveland as
much as ,/ would have liked. Therefore,
in accordance with the practice I Mi-,
tiated 4 years ago, I am bringing a tfav- ,
eling office to the various communities
in the 23d District. This method of
meeting wih the public has been tremen-
dously popular and it gives me a wonder-
ful opportunity to discuss and learn ,at
firsthand the opinions and individual
needs of the people,
With the understanding that Congress
will not be in session during the early
part of October. I will again this year
from October 6 through October 17 follow
the same procedure and have a series of
conference Meetings so that every resi-
,
f691:841.; IIE.M0230200060016-8 A7239
dent of this suburban district can Con-
veniently meet with me. These are not
group meetings but office conferences for
the individual which will enable them to
discuss their views and problems per-
sonally. No appointments are neces-
sary, and I urge individuals to meet with
me on the date and at the place most
convenient. Every resident of the 23d
District is cordially invited to talk over
problems of national concern, to discuss
personal problems they might have with
the Federal Government, or just to chat
and get better acquainted. The knowl-
edge thus obtained will better 'enable
me to represent the residents of the 23d
District in the Congress of the United
States.

SION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. EDNA F. KELLY
OF NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, August 6, 1958
Mrs. KELLY of New York. Mr.
Speaker, as one of the members of the
New York City Committee To Ban Teen-
Age Weapons, of which John E. Cone,
Justice of the New York State Supreme
Court is ale chairman, I am submitting
the statement he made at the hearings
before the United States Senate Com-
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com-
merce, Wednesday, July 23, 1958.
,The House of Representatives has
passed during the session H. R. 12850
which prohibits traffic in switchblade
knives. Led by Congressman JAMES J.
DELANEY, who first introduced this legis-
lation in 1953, many Members of Con-
gress, particularly from the New York-
New Jersey area, sponsored identical
bills. Congressman DELANEY and I tes-
tified in favor of this legislation during
the hearings before the Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee in the
House of Representatives. H. R. 12850
passed the Senate on July 31, 1958.
REMARKS OF NEW YORK STATE SUPREME COURT
JUSTICE JOHN E. CONE, CHAIRMAN, COMMIT-
TEE To BAN 'TEEN-AGE WEAPONS, Eon DE-
LIVERY AT HEARING OF UNITED STATES SEN-
ATE COMMITTEE ON INTERSTATE AND FOREIGN
COMMERCE, JULY 23, 1958
I am John E. cone, justice of the New York
State Supreme Court. I am appearing here
today as chairman of the Committee to Ban
Teen-Age Weapons.
Our group was formed last year in response
to the sharp increase in juvenile delinquency
experienced by New York City and State.
Many public spirited citizens including 2
Congressmen, 3 district attorneys, 8 State
legislators, many judges, members of the
clergy, educators, and community minded
citizens helped organize our committee.
Our purpose was to put more teeth in
existing State, Federal, and city laws with
the view of reducing the terrible incidence
of youth crime. Our prime objective was to
ban the switchblade knife and its successor
the deadly gravity knife.
In 1954, through the efforts of a similar
committee as I now represent, the switch-
blade knife was banned in New York State.
As you now, these knives open upon the
slight touch of a button. Certain knife
manufacturers, seeking to circumvent the
law, started to manufacture and advertise
the gravity knife. This weapon opens and
locks automatically at a quick flick of the
wrist. Technically, they are not switchblade
knives, but they are just as dangerous.
It is wortlay of mite that last year the Sen-
ate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency
instituted an extensive study and field in-
vestigation of the switchblade and gravity
knife situation. ,The results of this survey
fully supported and emphasized the need for
this legislation.

The committee found that over I million
switchblade and gravity knives are distrib-
uted and sold each year.' in this country.
These knives are sold 'chiefly to juveniles.
Some poems are.linpl;rted-.
New York State and if OtEer States took
action in an attempt to lartIt the flow of these
weapons into the hands of Iriventies. This
year New York outlawed the manufacture,
sale, or possession of the gravity knife. The
measure receiveeoverwhelmMg support in
the State legislatule.
Helping to spark our drive were devierill
the major metropolitan newspapers and tadio
station WMGM. We realized, however, that
despite our State law, We wele-relativey help.;
\ less in fully meeting the challenge of the
gravity and switchblade knives. Thousands
of these weapons Were being bootlegged into
the State from other countries and other
States. These weapons had become the
syth-
bol, as well as the weapon of the teen-age `
gang. And they are still easy to purchase.
Advertisements by mail-order Louses, in
sports magazines, in outdoor magazines, all
offer these knives for sale.
The only way the individual State can
effectively bar the switchblade and gravity
knives and remove the handcuffs now bind-
ing law-enforcement officers, is for you to
enact appropriate Federal legislation. You
must prohibit their introduction into inter-
state commerce, close the mails to them and
ban their importation.
Switchblade and gravity knives have no
Possible legitimate use. They can do noth-
ing worth while that other types o; knives
cannot-do better. A fish knife is more use-
ful to a -fisherman, a Minting knife 'to a
hunter. Switchblades are good for just one
thing?sneak attack.
They can be 'easily concealed and called
into action at a moment's -notice. Their
blade, like the tongue of a deadly snake,
darts 'forth with great speed and force.
- You can see from the weapon that I hold
in my hand that this is not the type of a
knife we used when we were boys, or that the
Boy Scouts used. This weapon is designed
to be used exclusively for strong-armed
purposes.
In support of our stand, I would like to
present you with the Signatures of 250,000
persons_ who have signed our petitions and
have written post cards urging this legisla-
tion. These people represent all walks -Of
lives. One woman wrote to us saying' that
her son lost an eye because of the brutal
switchblade knife. _Teen-agers backed the
proposed legislation, too.
It waS iseartening to us to receive the sup-'
port of the Camillus Cutlery Co., one of'
the Nation's fOremost knife manufactureth.
This group is represented here by Mi. Lewis
A. Pinkus,sohn, Jr. This company has worked
diligently to, rid the market of the death
dealing gravity and switchblade knives.
Other leading citizens, such as City Coun-
cilman Jack Kranis, State Senator Frank J.
Pino, Albert M. Leavitt, president of the
Youth Service League, Assemblyman Stanley
Steingut, Representative EDNA F. ICELI.Y,
' Captain Frederick Ludwig, to, name a few,
are largely responsible for calling the threat
of this weapon to the attention of the public
and for helping to pass the' legislation in
, ,
.:New York.
The rest is up to you. You can strike a
deadly blow at teen-age gangs. You can
wrest the gravity knife and switchblade knife
from the hands of tile young:hoodiuins. You
mutt grant approval to the bill now under
consideration, and ban the gravity and
switchblade weapons. Thank Yeitt.

Failure To Extend Public Law 480 Is Bad
News for Farmer
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
or
HON. ALBERT H. QUIE
OF MINNESOTA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
WednesOay, J UGY 16, 1958
" 4
Mr. QUIE. Mr. Speaker, time and
again I have called on the leadership of
this Congress for extension of the sur-
plus disposal law, Public Law 480. A
prominent newspaper in the First Con-
gressional District has done farmers a
service by presenting an excellent edi-
torial on the value of this legislation,
and what the loss will mean to every-
one?farmers and people who depend on
a prosperous ftgriculture indirectly for
their income.
' The full impact of the failure to ex-
tend this law admirably described in
the following article which appeared in
the Waseca Journal, Waseca, Minn., and
which, was reprinted in the Faribault
Daily News.
This important law has been passed
by both Houses of Congress. Since there
is a difference in the two bills, they must
go to conference. At this late date it is
p
shocking to Iinted:
toe that conferees have
yet not been a
BAD NEWS
) Every day the Democrat-controlled Con-
/gress fails to reenact Public Law 480 spells
more bad news for the farmer. And the
farmer has had plenty of bad news since
June 30 when the law passed by the 83d
Republican-controlled Congress expired.
A few days agO the United Stites Depart-
ment of Agriculture issued its report on the
accomplishmentS of Public Law 480 during
the fiscal year ending June 30. The 6.6 mil-
lion metric tons exported under this law
covers_ nearly every, farm food and fiber
commodity.
Acclaimed as One of the greatest pieces of
all agricultural legislation in all time, this
Republican-sportsored law was largely re-
sponsible for tile increased export of farm
products during the Eisenhower administra-
tion.
The increase was sizable, too, nearly
double that of 952-94 Pe'reent by Volume,
to be exact.
The law alone cannot take all of the
credit for this outstanding Republican ac-
coniplishment. Secretary of Agriculture
Ezra Taft Benon deserves much of the
credit. His agricultural attaches, 50 of
them, serving in over 100 foreign countries,
negotiated readjustments of tariff barriers,
Ironed out conflicts with producers abroad,
and otherwise Made possible the greatest
export of farm sproducts the world has ever
known from an nation.
Dairymen in this part of Minnesota should
- be particularly grateful for this legislation
and its accomplishments. During the year
ending June 30 dairy exports totaled 84,365,-
000 pounds.
Soybeans, wbich have become Waseca
County's major 'crop, were supported on the
home rnatket- through Public Law 480 ex-
ports Which totaled a staggering 402,814,000
pounds of soybean oil. Corn in the amount
of 21 million bushels was sold abroad and
the wheat surplus would be even worse were
it not for the Public Law 480 export of 175,-
485,000 bushels, to say nothing of the nearly
37 million pounds of wheat :dour.
The export of beef was more than 11 mil-
lion pounds while that of tallow was nearly
?
5 times greater or 54,429,000 pounds.
First Minnesota District Congressman AT.
QUIE warned of the danger of letting the
valuable farm legislation expire on June 26,
4 days before the June 30 deadline. Now
the opposition has no one to blame but
themselves for the great loss that is being
suffered every day by First District farmers.
That loss will continue even beyond the
day the law is reenacted, for it will take
considerable time to get the massive export
machinery in operation. In the meantime.
foreign sales lost during the past several
weeks show little chance of being recap-
tured.
National
Defense Edication Act of 1958
SPEECH
OF
HON. FRANK C. ?MRS, JR.
OF NEW JERSEY
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Friday, August 8, 1958
Mr. OSMERS. Mr. Speaker, the pur-
poses of H. R. 13247, the National De-
fense Education Act of 1958, have my full
support.
The greatest paradox in history is
that here, in the world's richest country,
thousands of gifted youngsters are not
able to use their abilities to the fullest,
due to a lack of funds. Many people
feel that the Federal Government should
not directly participate in education.
While I strongly support local control
of primary and secondary school educa-
tion, we must, as a Nation, develop to
the fullest our greatest natural re-
souree-:-,narnelY our youth.
The Education and Labor Committee
deserves a great deal of credit for the
comprehensive bill they have prepared.
Ever since January 1954, when I intro-
duced the first bill which provided for a
system of scholarships for those with
unusual scientific 'abilities, I have felt
very strongly that we must aid thobe
who are intellectually gifted but unable
to attend a college or university due to
the lack of funds. The first Russian
sputnik was the catalyst which finally
brought the full attention of the Amer-
ican people to our educational needs--
particularly at the higher levels.
The purposes of this bill are to assist in
the improvement and strengthening of
our educational system at all levels and
to encourage able students to continue
their education beyond high school! It is
,designed to accomplish these objectives
by, first, establishing loan programs for
students at institutions of higher educa-
tion; second, providing grants to States
for strengthening science, mathematics,
and modern foreign language instruction
in .public schools; third, establishing
language institutes and area centers to
expant and improve the teaching of lan-

providing for research and experimenta-
tion in the use of television, radio, motion
oiettires, and related mediums for educa-
tional purposes; and, seventh, improve-
ment of statistical services of State edu-
cational agencies.
America is confronted with a serious
and continuing challenge in many fields.
The challenge?in science, industry, gov-
ernment, military strength, internation-
al relations?stems from the forces of
totalitarianism. This challenge, as well
as our own goal of enlargement of life
for each individual, requires the fullest
possible development of the talents of
our young people. American education,
therefore, bears a grave responsiblity in
our times.
It is no exaggeration to say that Amer-
ica's progress in many fields of endeavor
in the years ahead?in fact, the very
survival of our free country?may de-
pend in large part upon the education
we provide for our young people now.
A number of provisions in the bill are
aimed specifically at reducing the waste
of needed talent which results when stu-
dents with great potential ability drop
out of school or college too soon. Several
other provisions are designed to encour-
age an improvement and expansion in
the teaching of science, mathematics,
and foreign languages. Another provi-
sion recognizes the need for more college
teachers to prepare future scientists,
teachers, and leaders in many fields.
Although our national security is
handicapped by shortages of highly
trained persons in all fields of endeavor,
many thousands of young people with
high ability drop out of high school be-
fore graduation or fail to attend college
subsequent to graduation. This is a loss
not only to these young people, but to the
Nation as a whole, The bill provides
grants to support improved State and
local programs of counseling, guidance.
and testing to help identify able students
and encourage them to remain In school
and achieve their optimum of perform-
ance based on their intelligence and apti-
tude. The bill also provides a program
of loans to colleykand university stu-
dents to help those who need financial
assistance to continue and complete their
education.
There are not many men such as
Thomas Alva Edison who in spite of
poverty and humble beginnings have
made such tremendous contributions to
mankind. What else might this genius
have contributed to the world had he
been able to take advantage of the loan
provisions of this hill at the age of 18
in the year 1865? Row many sim-
ilarly brilliant intellects have been lost
to mankind, and are being lost every day,
because of the inabilit,, to finance fur-
ther study? This bill Ls a great stet)
toward a better educated America.
It is unfortunate that an amendment?
to the original bill struck out the pro-
visions for a limited program of Federal
scholarships One of the chief criticisms
of the say). : 'ap provision seemed to he
toed on t act that there are already
private foundations as well as States of-
fering scholarships. The main point
these critics seemed to ignore Is that in
spite of this so-called abundance of
scholarships, a large percentage of those
high-school graduates qualified for col-
lege, and capable of contrbuting greatly
to this Nation's welfare, do riot attend
college?mostly due to financial reaming,
The vast majority of scholarships do not
come anywhere near covering the cast at
the individual's college course. This was
well pointed out in the report of the
President's Committee on Education Be.
yond High School:
A recent survey covering 147 representati
public and private oolleges and unleeng
during the period 1950-64 showed that neatly
two-thirds of all scholarships paid laus theft
20 percent of all the college expenses Of the
holders. Graduates reported a median tenet
4-year expenditure of 115.020. of which only
6.4 perceill. or $320, came from scholarship
funds.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of ade-
quate scholarships, many extremely bril-
liant individuals are indiscriminately de-
terred from following the avenues in
which they could make their matter
contributions--not because of lack of in-
terest but because of the economic diffi-
culties of their parents. It has been said
that it is discriminatory to give one in-
dividual a scholarship and another a
loan. But, is it not even more discr1ml..
natory?against our Nation as a whole?
to
deny an impoverished inclividiala POO,
right to make his contribution to society?
It is my fervent hope that in the near
future we will make even greater trides
toward a better educated America by.
giving each individual the opportunity to
fully develop his skills, physical or men-
tal, regardless of his financial dents. In
this way this Nation will always con-
tinue to lead the world in all forms of
endeavor.

the moot perceptive and Illuminating
comments on the current Middle East
crisis have been made by the noted col-
umnist, Walter Lippinann. One of his
recent articles clearly points out Amer- ?

and I consider it well worth the atten-
tion of our colleagues. The article

The, new bill, just signed by the President,
overcame financing and site questions of
Congress. Mainly, difficulties faded after the
phrase written into the bill by Mr. McLeod
that the stadillnzt would be constructed in
substantial accordance with the Praeger-
Kavanagh-Waterbury report.
This called for lifting the $6 million cost
limit from, the old_ law. Substituted was a
variable price tag from $7 to $8 million, de-
pending on how bonds sold and which de-
sign was adopted.
The United States Treasury backed the
bond issue, under terms of the bill. Con-
gressional fears that the stadium eventually
would be a drain on the Treasury were
allayed by a proviso that District Commis-
sioners would budget money annually to
make up the difference between bond pay-
ments and stadium receipts, if need be.
LOCAL ItEseONeESEE.rrx
Commissioners were authorizSd by the bill
to borrow from the Treasury if Congress re-
fused the budget items. Loans would have
..to be repaid, with interest, by District tax-
payers. So the bill made the stadium a
clear local responsibility.
Representative.H.Aiuus and cosponsor Sen-
ator BIBLE, Democrat of Nevada, blue-pen-
ciled from the drafted bill a promise that
bonds would be tax free. That satisfied the
Treasury, which otherwise would have ob-
jected to backing the issue even through
loans.
To assure the land transfer, Mr. McLeod
gained from Interior Secretary Seaton a
pledge to lease the site to the Armory Board
for a reasonable sum. "What is reason-
able?" pressed Mr. McLeod. The Secretary
said $100.
The words "substantial accordance" also
settled the site dispute, at least to the satis-
faction of Congress. Praeger-Kavanagh-
Waterbury called the grassy oval of land
beside the Anacosta the most desirable site.
So the bill as passed dots not bind spon-
sors 'CO the tract. But the intent of Congress
to place the stadium there is clear.
With this language, Representative HARRIS
was able to block brickbats thrown at the
stadium on the House floor ..by economy-
minded Republican Representatives GROSS
of Iowa and SCHENCK of Ohio.
Five typographical errors caught in the
Senate sent the bill, back to the House for
final passage. There, House District Com-
mittee Chairman McMILEAN, Democrat of
South Carolina, spent the afternoon on the
floor with the bill, in his coat pocket.
Thanks to his evening defense against
Representative O'KoNsEa, Republican of
Wisconsin, stadium legislation went to the
White House.

Mr. MUMMA. Mr. Speaker, the fol-

line with congressional courtesy to me.
I am sure Mr. Farley is a nationwide

PARLEY IS BACK
At the 1940 Demo'cratic convention Sen-
ator Carter Glass, of Virginia, placed in
nomination the name of James A. Farley.
He had left a sick bed to do so, because he
shared Farley's determination to oppose a
third term.
Neither Glass nor Farley had any illusions
as to the outcome. Mr. Roosevelt received
946 delegate-votes against Farley's 72. But
the seed of protest against a third term, bore
fruit, eventually resulting in a constitutional
amendment to forbid what, until then, had
been an unwritten law.
That break with F. D. R. marked the end
of Big Jim's open participation in politics.
He resigned as Postmaster General and be-
came first chairman of the board of the
Coca Cola Export Corporation. He now is
its president.
Now, presumably after "the pause that re-
freshes," the 70-year-old Farley (who has
not held elective office since the one term he
served In New York Assembly in 1923) has
suddenly announced his candidacy for New
York's United States senatorial nomination.
It was the biggest bit of totally unexpected
political news in some time. It seems to
have caught that State's Democratic big-
wigs completely off guard.
If, after an 18-year absence from active
politics, 'Jim Farley manages to capture the
top spot on the State ticket, the comeback
will be one for the books.

EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. WINFIELD K. DENTON
OF IND/ANA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRMENTATIVES
Thursday, July 31, 1958
Mr. DENTON. Mr. Speaker, under
unanimous consent, I insert in the Ap-
pendix of the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD a
letter written by me to the Honorable
Wilbur Young, State superintendent of
the State of Indiana Department of
Public Instruction, under date of July
28, 1958, in regard to H. R. 13247, the
National Defense Education Act of 1958:
JULY 28, 1958.
Hon. WILBUR YOUNG,
_State Superintendent, Indiana
' Department of Public Instruction.,
Indianapolis, Ind.
DEAR SUPERINTENDENT YOUNG: This letter
is in response to your communication of July
21, in which you summarize the results of
a study of mathematics and science educa-
tion in Indiana schools in support of -your
opposition to the enactment of H. R.43247,
the National Defense Education Act of 1958.
As a Member of Congress representing the
Eighth District of Indiana, I am deeply in-
terested in the status of education in our
State and throughout the Nation. In this
time of peril for our Nation, during which It
has become increasingly obvious that the
quality of American education is a decisive
factor in our struggle to preserve our free-
dom, I also feel that there is an urgent na-
tional interest in the kind and amount of
education available to our young people.
Therefore, I very much appreciate having
A6871
the information you forwarded and your
views regarding H. R. 13247.
It is extremely gratifying to me that In-
diana boys and girls are doing so well in
mathematics and science and that Indiana
schools provide such opportunities for aca-
demic achievement. The teachers of Indiana
are obviously .doing a good job, and we
should all be thankful that we have these
men and women who have dedicated them-
selves to the most important work of a
democracy?the education of our youth.
I think that we can all agree, however,
that we cannot be satisfied with the quality
of education?in Indiana or in the Nation?
until it is the very best that we can make it.
After the most careful consideration of the
facts available to me, including those pre-
sented in your study, I cannot agree that
they prove that H. R. 13247 should not be
enacted. On the contrary, I think that the
great mass of reliable information on the
needs and deficiencies of American education
conclusively proves that this legislation is
needed and that its enactment is vital to
national security. It was on this basis that
President Eisenhower requested enactment
of legislation along these lines early this
year. Recently the President has reempha-
sized his support of H. R. 13247, which in
large measure would carry out his recom-
mendations. Based upon my own review of
the available facts, I agree with the Presi-
dent in this matter. I think you are entitled
to know my reasons for taking this position.
First, your letter deals largely with schol-
arships. A Federal scholarship program is
merely one feature of this legislation, and
perhaps not the most important one. The
bill would authorize Federal assistance to
help and encourage the States to improve
counseling and guidance services In the
schools so that more of our able youngsters
will be identified and properly encouraged
to study the hard subjects in high school
and prepare to continue their education in
college.
Your own study demonstrates conclusively
that, even in Indiana, youngsters are not
making the most of their abilities in sub-
jects of critical importance to themselves
and to the Nation. On pages 3 and 4 of
your study it is shown that, of the ninth
grade students taking science and mathe-
matics tests, 58 percent showed a knowledge
of mathematics and 36 percent showed a
knowledge of physical science above their
grade level, and 61,6 percent and 50.7 per-
cent were above the national norms respec-
tively in mathematics and science. (If In-
diana is only average, the least we could
expect is that 50 percent of Indiana stu-
dents be above the national average in these
subjects?without even inquiring as to
whether our national average attainment is
high enough.)
Yet, on page 2, the study shows that
among graduating seniors, only 11 percent
had actually taken 4 years of mathematics,
and that nearly 75 percent had not taken
more than 2 years of mathematics. Worse,
it shows that only 2 percent had actually
taken 4 years of science, and that nearly
85 percent had taken no more than 2 years
of science. Surely you will agree, as an edu-
cator, that these 3d and 4th year high
school mathematics and science courses are
essential to the well-rounded academic edu-
cation of children who have ability to take
them?and are absolutely necessary for a
student who plans to take college courses in
mathematics and science. Unfortunately,
the situation nationally is about the same
as in Indiana. United States Office of Edu-
cation studies indicate that only 1 high
school student out of 8 takes trigonometry
or solid geometry. This might be contrasted
with the Soviet Union where science and
mathematics are required study for all sec
ondary school students for each of the final
4 years of secondary schooling. / feel that

Dr. You Chan Yang
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. WILLIAM G. BRAY
or 'unions
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, July 14, 1958
Mr. BRAY. Mr. Speaker, the Korean
Ambassador to the United States, my
good friend Dr. You Chan Yang, ap-
peared before the assembled representa-
tives to Girls Nation on the campus of
the American University on July 30,
1958.
Girls Nation is an annual mock gov-
ernment sponsored by the American Le-
gion Auxiliary, and is the sequel to the
Girls State in the various States.
This outstanding group of young
women were moved and inspired by the
remarks by Dr. Yang, and I want to in-
sert them in the RECORD:
My young American friends, for the sec-
ond consecutive year, I consider it a real
privilege to be invited to address the Girls
Nation. This year, as last year, I am grate-
ful for the opportunity to chat with you
charming young ladies for two reasons.
First, I have long admired the tremendous
good work done by both the American Legion
and the American Legion Auxiliary in their
Boys State and Girls State programs and
their climaxes, the annual nations held here
In Washington. I have long been of the be-
lief that the Legion, through these programs,
Is providing the best practical exercise in
American citizenship,
I am delighted to be here, secondly, be-
cense I can come to you as a father of a
young lady of your own age. / know that
my own daughter, Sheila, were she here,
would thoroughly enjoy this program.
Beneath the veneer of slang and sophisti-
cation attributed to the youth of today, I
believe that most, American young ladies
are gravely concerned about their own future
and the future of their Nation, in these awe-
some, atomic times. The mere fact that
you young ladies have gathered here in such
a serious' venture today illustrates that
serious thinking is being done on all levels
by the youth of the United States.
No one could have expressed more aptly
the tenor of our times than did Charles
Dickens, about a hundred years ago, In the
opening lines of his great novel, A Tale of

we had nothing before us, we were all go
direct to heaven, we were all going di
the other way?in short, the period was
far like the present period, that some
its noisiest authorities insisted on its be
received, for good or for evil, in the sup
lative degree of comparison only."
These are the worst of times, because
should be obvious to all that the Middle E
crisis is a new variation of the proxy w
tactics of the Soviet Union. Surely, th
can be no doubt about who instigated t
revolts in Lebanon and Iraq. About
months ago, I prepared a speech, which w
delivered at Rockford, Ill., on Tune 13,
which I said in part: "I believe that it
far less than coincidental that riotings
bombings erupted in Lebanon just at a ti
when Nastier of Egypt was paying a courte
call in Moscow." To a number of us b.
in Washington, the bloody sequence
events in the Middle East was not on
clearly predictable but expected. Thatrag
frustrating part of it was that we could n
seem to be able to awaken the free wor

thus many of the earmarks of the Kore
problem. It is, as President Eisenhow
pointed out in his message to the people
the United States, the pretension of "civi
war. It is the pattern of the Communis
seeking to subjugate by the indirect aggre
sion of terrorism, assassination and bluff.
These are the worst of times also becau
many of us are apprehensive that the ove
all world pattern of Communist tate
might not be clearly perceived. Also, w
are concerned because we are apprehensiv
that the Communists may succeed in the
strategy of talk and trickery until they ar
ready for an armed showdovvn. We are con
cerned that the free world's position migh
again be weakened as it was as a result o
the Geneva Conference of 1954. Most im
portant of all, we are gravely afraid that th
United Nations itself might be furthe
weakened in its effectiveness, should th
Communists succeed in preventing valid ex
pressions of opinions and important voting
In that organization.
On the other hand, it is the best of al
worlds because the American people await
ened in time to the grave danger which con
fronted them. Also, the tremulous cries o
those fearful of direct Soviet interventio
in World War III have proved hollow. T
the contrary, as President Synginan Rhe
has often argued and as events in the Far
East have proved again and again, when th
Soviet Union is confronted with a show o
strength, it backs down and seeks to appear
to be reasonable. Think back a moment
In your wildest imagination, did you be
lieve that even a month ago you expected
Khrushchev to come to the United States?
No. And while it is true that negotiations
are still underway as to who will represent
the Arab states, have you stopped to think
that for the first time the Soviet Union is
not insisting upon complete representation
at a meeting by all of its phony satellite
powers? Also, the crisis has had the effect
of bringing the United States and Great
Britain closer together in their views on the
Middle East. Furthermore, the Security
Council itself, including several nations not
directly allied with the free world v t d
ing realize is that if the United Nations does not
'Oct strengthen its authority, it may easily go
so the way of the old League of Nations. Let
of us take a specific case?the United Nations
ing observer group in Lebanon. It was the
er- weakness of the UNOGIL which led to the
deteriorated situation in Lebanon and mi-
lt couraged the events in Iraq. Now, I know
art that you have been given different reports
ar as to the actual events in Lebanon and you
ere have been given criticism of the American
he action. But from my own files, I want to
8 reveal- certain other things to you.

and when they should find many non-Lebo-

e It should be obvious that any United

Ir to all danger areas anywhere in Lebanon, in

years of any new country are also the hardest.
We have had more than our share of troubles,
but I think the *ay in which we have solved
our problems indicates the inherent stability
of my country and the dedication of my
people.
It was the great British historian, Toynbee,
who has argued that the annuals of history
are largely written by a people being chal-
lenged; if they do not respond to the chal-
lenge they are obliterated, but if they do
respond to the challenge they become a great
nation. Our past dedication has been one of
challenge and response.
Every day we constantly face new chal-
lenges. The greatest challenge right now is
the possibility that our corner of the world,
and particularly our country, will gradually
slip back into the dimmer memories of our
American friends. I want you to recognize
along with us that there is a "clear and pres-
ent danger" on the Korean peninsula. First,
there is a dangerous military imbalance cre-
ated by the Chinese Communists by bringing
In planes, rebuilding airstrips, and replenish-
ing men and supplies. As far as we are con-
cerned, the Communists have so persistently
and consistently violated the terms of the
truce agreement that it does not in fact any
longer exist.
The real danger in Korea is that the great
American people, with all of their humane-
ness and easygoing way of life, may forget
the horror that took place in Korea. It is
well to remind ourselves from time to time
the bitter flavor of the free world's defen-
si crusade in Korea.

The Government took other steps to
sweeten its decision. Local councils in the
mountain regions will be allowed to exemp',
farmers from compulsory deliveries of grain
and potatoes to encourage them to step nu

floods also will get special relief. All told,
these concessions will amount to 60,000 tone.

told by the Government today that they
would have to continue compulsory deliveries
of grain and potatoes to the state.
The decision to make deliveries compul-
sory for this year's harvest was taken by the -
Council of Ministers. It is important polit-
ically as well as economically.
After the political upheaval of 1956, when
Wladyslaw Gomulka returned to power as
first secretary of the Communist Party, the
Government took several agricultural meas-
ures to win the confidence of the peasants.
These included free sale of land, lower taxa-
tion, the breaking up of most of the collec-
tive farms and reduction of compulsory de-
liveries of grain at fixed prices.
The peasants also won the promise that
compulsory deliveries at state prices?which
are sometimes less than half of what the
product would bring on the free market?
would be terminated. Since 1956, compul-
sory delivery, of milk has been abolished,
compulsory deliveries of wheat have been
cut by one-third and, the state price of
wheat has been raised,
REMINDER BY PEASANTS
But peasant leaders have urged the Gov-
ernment not to forget its promise to abolish
compulsory deliveries. They said that the
confidence of the farmers depended on keep-
ing that promise.
The fact that the peasants have achieved
a measure of economic confidence can be
seen almost everywhere in the Polish coun-
tryside. The peasants are putting more of
their money into farms, as new brick build-
ings, new barns, and new equipment show.
Today's announcement gave new price
oncessions to the farmers but made it clear
