I'd like to say incidentally that an admission should be made on my part and so far as music is concerned one that I shouldn't make in a state like Pennsylvania which has been voting Republican but this is something you should know you should know everything about all your candidates you see I used to play the piano I'll just promise you one thing folks if we're elected I'll give it up believe me one other thing you can be sure I can tell you this I never have played the Missouri waltz remember the fourth Republicans are going to vote for eisenhower yet independents are going to vote for eisenhower but also you're going to find that California Democrats and Texas Democrats and Massachusetts Democrats Oklahoma Democrats and Pennsylvania Democrats are going to join with millions of other good Democrats all over the country to throw the Truman Democrats out of Washington DC from my very careful examination of the facts in Washington I find that there were three important differences in the first place the British urge that we've not crossed the 38th parallel this however was compromised and we went ahead but after that the British urged and the State Department and the Joint Chiefs of Staff supported them that we've maintained a neutrality zone of about 40 miles away from the Manchurian border in order to prevent any border clashes with Chinese troops this was one of the main reasons why President Truman went to Wake Island to work this out with General MacArthur and this was agreed to later when we were in serious difficulty with the Chinese the State Department sent an urgent message asking MacArthur to make a public statement telling the Chinese that we would not bomb their big dams along the Yellow River was that we would protect them but unfortunately MacArthur sent back a very curt message in which he replied I do not concur I think the height of immorality that men young men should be taken from their lives and calling and sent to battle from whence they may never come some of them may never come and some men they will come but broken shadows and specters of their former self and yet leave those people on the homefront to profiteer and to enrich themselves where men are fighting to save them civilize any attack here by an enemy as the signal for a sort of group vacation on the part of a great many city dwellers now no picture could ignore reality more tragically than this it's time to get tough with ourselves over this question of what will happen if we're attacked there will be no mass Stampede from our critical target areas for the simple reason that no such Stampede will be permitted by our state and local authorities who are responsible to your safety and welfare and our national security every community must be defended to the utmost there will be no retreat from the production line there will be no voluntary surrender of a single machine or a single home that might help our armed forces to wage war when the average American understands that to stay in his city is to fight then he will stay and fight in those circumstances he would prefer to have his wife and children with him rather than to have them homeless transients unless that is absolutely necessary I am convinced that this is the American Way of today and of tomorrow for several weeks we've studied thousands of ships manifest and to our astonishment we've learned that sizable quantities of fatally important supplies have been shipped to Communist China not only have these shipments been made since the Communists took control in China but huge quantities have been sent there from our shores since the Korean War started as a matter of fact we've just brought to light the fact that a large shipment of steel sheets has gone from New York only a few days ago and is now on the high seas bound for communist China this situation which I think is deplorable has been brought about by transshipping of vital materials from other countries into the United States and then having them reshaped from our port it is my determination to continue this vigorous investigation to bring to light all facts in this important matter so that we can force action by the federal agencies to plug these loopholes mr. ambassador can you tell us what your government's position is on the Kashmir dispute all that Pakistan demands is the right of the people of Kashmir to a free and unfettered plebiscite but that is what justice demands and Pakistan will not be content with anything less madam ambassador can you tell us how your country feels up over the Kashmir dispute India has always recognized the right of the people of Kashmir to decide their own future we stand by that pledge it is Pakistan who by continuing to maintain forces in illegal occupation of a large part of the state is creating conditions in which the will of the people cannot be expressed I'm certain that the people of Iowa were pleased to have an opportunity to receive some Russians and that we Iowans would be happy to go over to Russia and give them some of our know-how it's by that exchange that I think we can build towards peace and definitely a permanent peace whatever contribution we can make in that respect I think we should be more than willing to make and of course as your governor I'm willing to participate in the program and be very happy to go over and visit with them and I'll assure you that I'll do my best to sell the Russians on peace and also to sell them on our way of life Do come in. Evening judge. Hello. Have a chair. Judge Augustine I have here on information Harlan Kerry Phillips for charged with an improper pass one mile east of Adel oh is this your true name Harlan Kerry Phillips that is correct officer do you swear that this is your signature yes judge I do Harlan do you know your constitutional rights yes I believe so you wish to employ an attorney no I don't believe that's necessary well I read you this information in state of Iowa versus Harlan Kerry Phillips the court of H.L. Augustine justice of the peace, Adel Township County of Dallas the state of Iowa the above named defendant is accused of the crime of improper passing well that honor about the sixth day of December 1954 one mile east of Adel in the county of Dallas state of Iowa the said dependent did unlawfully and willfully operate a motor vehicle license number 25 - 8 5 8 Oh did passing another motor vehicle in restricted zone so marked by yellow line with intent to do the same contrary to the statutes in such cases made and provided in Section three twenty one point 304 1954 code of Iowa signed by Wendell W Streams of the Iowa Highway Patrol subscribed in my presence and long before me by said Wendell Springs this sixth day of December 1954 signed H.L. Augustine justice of the peace i read you that section folder for evident passing no vehicle shall in overtaking and passing another vehicle or at any time other time he driven to the left side of the roadway [inaudible] within 100 feet of any narrow bridge viaduct or tunnel when so signposted I'm free now to accept a plea on this how do you wish to plead to the charge Harlan well all I'd like to say is that when I passed the car I didn't mean to make a violation but as I passed a car I couldn't see the yellow line but when I came in I did come in on the yellow line and in view of the facts I imagine I should plead guilty yeah it's a judgement of this court that you pay a fine of $10 plus the cost of this action which is $3 and in leu non-payment of the fine you'll be required to spend three days in jail well Harlan I'd be a little more careful from now on about these passes
