The Battle For Freedom...

... By Joel Austin

Excerpts from a recent address by Conrad
N. Hilton at a meeting of the National Con
ference of Christians and Jeivs in New York
City
I N NINETEEN hundred and seventeen
many of us here this evening went off to
the wars. We were free men fighting for
freedom, fighting for peace, fighting a war
to .end war forever. I took part in that war
and I was in Paris the day President Wilson
was driven down the Champs Elysees ac
claimed by hundreds of thousands of people.
His fourteen points were to bring peace to
all peoples. Just a few months later he was
to die of a broken heart. His fourteen points
were ignored, even violently opposed, at Ver
sailles.
Twenty-five years later our sons went
off to successfully fight another battle for
freedom, temporary freedom. Again we lost
the peace, for we blindly destroyed our
mighty arsenal of military power before we
had peace firmly in our grasp. We surren
dered the opportunity and the power to de
mand a just and lasting peace. We must
ask: To what purpose have we spent our
blood and wealth in two world wars ? Ameri
can boys who were thirteen years old on VJ
day (in 1945) are now being drafted for
military service. Perhaps it is simple retrib
utive justice that compels us to face the
awful prospect of another war; for we have
neglected, abandoned, and betrayed those
great principles to which we dedicated our
selves for the establishment of peace. We
have broken faith with those who fought and
died for freedom and who warned us
“If you break faith with us
icho die we shall not sleep”

shall never live in peace again. Freedom,
my fellow Americans, is foremost in our
minds and hearts this evening, it is in the
minds and hearts of all the world who look
to us as the last sanctuary of free men. Since
that first dawn when man stood before his
Maker, all men have cherished this tremen
dous thing, this magnificent thing, that
makes man a man—his freedom.
But what is this freedom? What right
have we to it? Why are we unhappy unless
we are free men ? This is why; because we
possess an intrinsic human dignity, an inner
majesty, which gives us an appetite, a pas
sion for freedom. Man possesses human dig
nity because he is made in the image and
likeness of God. This image is found per
sonally in every man; each one possesses it
entirely and undividedly. It is this image
that makes man different, that makes man
a son of God. Without this image man has
no free will and consequently neither liberty

man, juniors and seniors are say
ing . . . and, that’s what the sophs
said Saturday night as they carried
away the Stunt Cup. Aladdin
didn’t polish his lamp up enough,
Winken, Blinken. ’ Nod went away
to war. And, the gods weren’t
angry at all as to the outcome.
It cannot be denied that the
best Stunt won. You know, it’s
an absolute disgrace for a class
to graduate without ever having
carried home the cup. This year’s
seniors squeezed by with a win
last year, so everybody’s happy or
will be in a few; days.
We’ll all give a big sigh,
either from relief or exhaustion
because all the classes turned out
good productions. Now the profs
are happy because we will start
attending classes again.
Speaking of profs, Registrar
Emerson still insists that the facul

Milwaukee, Feb. 27—(TP)—
Gilda Gray, shaking and roll
ing her torso as she did 30
years ago, began her come
back last night in a side street
cafe.
The former queen of the shimmy
and ex-Ziegfeld star wore the span
gled shimmy costume and warbled
the songs that earned her interna
tional fame and millions of dollars
in the roaring twenties.
On the same bill were a couple
of young strip teasers, but the ap

Gilda.
Miss Gray, thrice married and
admitting to 49 years of age, is
recovering from four bedridden
years in Colorado.
“Milwaukee liked me tonight,”
she said, “proving I got the legs
and the movement that the nation
still wants to see.”
Experiment Station
Gets Research Aid
The Texas Agricultural Experi

from Mid-Continent Laboratories
of Kansas City, Mo.
The money will be used to fur
ther research on the importance of
unidentified factors for growing
chicks and turkeys, Dr. R. D.
Lewis, station director, said today.
The work will be done under the
direction of Dr. J. R. Couch of the'
Department of Poultry Husbandi’y.
The Mid-Continetal Laboratoi*-
ies, Inc., have also agreed to fur

faith in God. To open the hearts and minds
of men to this truth will require a mighty
river of faith and effort. Each one of us
is a drop to swell that river and augment
its force. We are approaching our final
hour, our final opportunity to secure the
peace that has twice in our lifetime escaped
us. In the grim determination of America
to carry the struggle through to the bitter
end, I see a new promise, a new assurance,
that remaining free people shall not become
enslaved. Together if we can, but alone if

About three weeks ago Newell
got out a map.
“I figured out a belt above the
battleground in the middle of the
peninsula where the Communist
might logically keep their trucks.
From this belt, I figured, they
could drive their supplies down to
the lines at night and get back
before dawn,” Newell said.
Next day he led his flight of
jets down to 50 feet—so low he
could see tire tracks leading off
the roads.
Then he began spotting the tai’-
gets: trucks in haystacks, trucks
under white tarps in snow-covered
fields and trucks pulled up along
side houses and covered with
thatch.
Before the day was over, Newell
had led his flight of four planes on
two missions and destroyed 31
tracks, a tank and two concealed
fuel dumps.
“From a high altitude,” Newell
said, “haystacks look like hay
stacks whether anything is hid
den there or not. But when you
get a side view from 50 faet you
can make out the shape of a
