MEMORABLE QUOTATIONS FROM 1951 SCENE
President Truman in his “State of the Union” mes
sage to Congress: “Peace is precious to us. But more
precious than peace are freedom and justice. We will
fight, if fight we must, to keep our freedom and to pre
vent justice from being destroyed. This is our cause—
peace, freedom, justice!
Sen. Tom Connally, chairman of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee: “There are many who will
accept internationalism if it can be bought at the bar
gain counter.”
India’s Prime Minister Nehru: 'I do not think
war inevitable and I hope it will be avoided. The most
dangerous thing is that people sometimes become hys
terical or fatalistic about it as if it is bound to happen I
and there is nothing they can do about it.”
Yugoslavia’s Premier Marshal Tito: “Every foot
of our land is saturated with blood but—if necessary—
we will saturate it again with blood and it will re
main ours.”
Bernard M. Baruch: “Our consistent unwavering
policy must be to pace ourselves in relation to Soviet
military strength and the dangers of war. We must
maintain sufficient military power to deter aggression.
But we must also avoid bankrupting ourselves through
a military establishment too costly to maintain.”
Sen. Estes Kefauver: “For every crook I found
1,000 good people and for every dishonest official I
found many honest public servants.
Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Fuller: “The idea of a push
button war might as well have been proposed in the
days of Julius Ceaser. The bulldozer was the secret
weapon of World War II. The tent stove has been the
secret weapon of the Korean war.”
Sen. Robert A. Taft: “Mr. Truman threw out the
bi-partisan foreign policy when he was elected in 1948.
I see no chance of a change.”
Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur, to the joint session of
Congress: “I am closing my 52 years of military serv
ice. And just like the old soldier of that ballad I now
close my military career and just fade away, an old
soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the
light to see that duty. Good-bye.”
Gov. James F. Byrnes, declaring that the South
does not owe loyalty to any political party: “The peo
ple of the South are beginning to look beyond the label
to see what’s in the package.”
Frank Costello, protesting to the Kefauver Com
mittee that his throat was too sore to talk: “I want to
testify truthfully and my mind don’t function.”
Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff: “If the United States had followed Gen. Mac
Arthur’s plan it would have been in the wrong war at
the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong
enemy.”
Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson: “Two years from
now we should have military and economic strength
sufficient to give reasonable safety against aggression.”

Reds Say 571 of j
726 American
Prisoners Die
MUNSAN, Korea, I/P) — The
communists accounted Wednes
day for 726 more captured Ameri
cans, but said 571 of them had
died.
The other 155 escaped or were
released, they said. But not one j
oe these has returned to Allied
lines, a United Nations Command
spokesman said.
The U.N. Command called the
report a “shocking disclosure.”
None of the 726 was named in
a prisoner list supplied by the
Reds last week.
Communists said they were
checking to see what happened to
332 Other Americans.
After studying the Red report
of 1,058 names, the U.N. Com
mand said they were all Ameri
cans. A spokesman said this was •
a list submitted Friday and Sat
urday by the U.N. in a demand
for an accounting.
Another 45 men — 20 British ;
and 25 Americans — were not
mentioned. The Allies asked
about -these 45 Monday.
The Allied announcement was j
the first disclosure of the precise
number of non-Korean prisoners
it had asked about—1,103.
The Reds detailed by name
what they said had happened to
726. Inferentially they blamed
Allied war planes and artillery
for many of the 571 deaths; They
died, the Reds said, of air attack,
artillery fire and disease.
A Communist note also:
1. Rejected an Allied demand
for an accounting of 50,000 South
Korean troops missing in action.
2. Asked the Allies what hap
pened to 44,205 Reds the com
munists say were captured.
3. Charged the Allied list of
Red captives submitted last week
was 1,456 short of the announced
total of 132,472.

Rep. Norblad Calls For
Halt In Duplication Of
Facilities Among Services ^
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Rep.
Walter Norblad (R-Ore) has called
for a halt in “the duplication of
facilities among the armed
forces.”
He wrote Defense Secretary
Lovett that “any effort to stop
this needless duplication will be
appreciated not only by members
of the Congress but by every
, single taxpayer in the United
1 States.”
As an example of what he
called duplication, Norblad cited
a case which he said he saw on *
a recent trip to Alaska. He said
the army and air force each was
building its own chapel across the
street from each other at the same
base. He did not name the base.
To hold all the natural gas in
America’s 314,000 miles of pipe
lines would require 100 tanks the
size of the Empire State Building
in New York City or a single
tank half a city block in dia
meter and 30 miles high.
A king-size conceit is always the
manifestation of a pint-size brain.
