From Dorothy Thompson’s column: "The common
man—the average man—has never yet created what
he enjoys, and this is more than ever true in the age
of science and technology, which depends on men ‘who
can call down fire from heaven’. What we need ad
our education must produce if we are to survive are
uncommon men.”

Woodrow Lane Bridge
Dear Sir:
Do you know if there are any immediate plans to replace the
washed-out bridge on Woodrow Lane?
To route all traffic from town to the new power plant and the
new water filtration plant over c ity streets out Dallas Drive seems
unnecessarily dangerous when there is s shorter and less traveled
road lacking only a bridge. I understand the ambulance had
quite a time finding the way out to the power plant when the
acid explosion occured there recently.
It’s a small irritation to be s ure. but to city employes who
travel the road numerous times a day, it's one that grows with

one day will rule the world.
Don’t you see what's happening?
Most good American parents have
been convinced that UNESCO phil-
osophy is the proper way to pre-
pare the next generation of world
citizens to live together, while the
Russians are indoctrinating their
children with indelible Russian al-
legance. Communism over God

sia say so.

recisely 18 inches from ths floor.
OLD? WELL, NO
Across the table, a stout, gray-
a drive for enduring world peace and take part in a
first step toward disarmament.
No thinking American should find fault with the
President's theme. Neither should any thinking Am-
erican give his entire stamp of approval to anyone
of the points without serious consideration as to their
implications. Again it’s the old story of agreeing with
the goal but not always agreeing with the methods of
reaching that goal, in this case, world peace.
For instance, the Record-Chronicle cannot believe
the President’s federal scholarship proposal is the
entire or even the easiest answer to he nations
needs in education. As State Sen. A. M. Aikin said
the same day in Austin, the educational needs of this
country cannot be met with “... hysteria, self-incrimin-
ation. petty ax grinding or headline hunting (even
though) the threat (on the education system) is real,
the challenge is unmistakable.”
But education was only part of the President's
State of the Union message. Eagerly awaited, the
speech was eagerly received by many Americans
mainly because, if nothing else, they once more real-
ized that no one else is more genuinely interested in
.. finding and maintaining world peace than President
Eisenhower.
Some feel the President in the last year has not
fought hard, enough to get his program accepted,
much less entirely approved by Congress. They point
out that during last year’s fight for a reduced budget,
President Eisenhower at first stood on his principles
that defense spending must be maintained at its pres-
ent. if not higher level* He certainly knew more
about the situation than the average citizen did at the
time. But the President bowed to public opinion—
opinion which did not have the facts he evidently
had—and failed to fight like his predecessors for what
he certainly must have believed. . ,
Congress and the rest of the nation now are in a
mood of acceptance. Most of us have been awakened
to the fact that the- United States can never fall be-
hind in any field as long as the world bases its foun-
dation of peace on which side can build a larger, more
deadly type of weapon.
The President has told us of the state of our coun-
try. He has told us generally what we alreadv knew.
All we ask now is a calm but definite leadership, both
from the President and from Congress.
gram, seven points of which would require Congres-
sional approval. These extended from a seemingly
drastic reorganization of the Defense Department to -
already well debated requests for more foreign trade,
scientific, cooperation and education and research.
The President’s eighth point was a direct appeal to
the people of the Soviet Union—an appeal made over
the heads of Kremlin leaders, as it were—to join in

of the reasons he gives is that he

the senators, is deteriorating rap-

about it.'' He added that "I can
do better outside the Army
