President Truman
Demands Hard, Tough '
Policy of Self Denial
(By the Associated Press>
Celebration and defense of the
rights to independent freedom
proclaimed 175 years ago by the
provincial colonists of America
spread around the world on the
fourth of July.
The unexampled growth of the
American people since Thomas
Jefferson’s Declaration was pro
claimed July 4, 1776 stood out as
the day was commemorated in
1951.
Growing hopes that cease fire
talks in Korea might end the
bloodshed there brightened the
175th fourth.
President Truman, however,
told the nation the world faces
a long period of “great inter
national danger” and warned;
against relaxing. He demanded a j
“hard, tough policy of self denial.”
Japanese Cabinet Resigns
TOKYO, (/P) — The Japanese
cabinet resigned today at the re
quest of Prime Minister Shigeru
Yoshida.
Yoshida immediately began
forming a coalition government
in preparation for peace treaty
conferences.
The cabinet members handed
Yoshida their resignations this
morning. The shuffle will affect
primarily the cabinet posts con
cerned with the Japanese national
economy.
The changes may be made more
quickly than in the case of pre
vious cabinet shakeups. Yoshida
is expected to name the new mem
bers without consulting the coun
sel of advisers.
Yoshida visited Gen. Matthew
B. Ridgway after the cabinet
meeting, apparently to inform the
Supreme Allied Commander of
the cabinet reshuffle.

Cease-Fire In. Korea I
Would Complicate Job
Of Draft Director
LOUISVILLE, Ky., (/P), A cease
fire in Korea, although welcome
to all concerned, would compli
cate the job of Maj. Gen. Lewis
B. Hershey, the nation’s director
of selective service, he said here
Friday. ’
! Hershey spoke to Kentucky draft
officials and told them he wants
local draft boards to have the final
say in deferring college students.
Local board members must use
their own judgment, he declared.
Remarking about a possible
cease-fire in Korea, he said if that
happens, “everyone will yell, ‘Why
draft me now?’”
Pressure of those already in
service to get out will be great, \
he added.
Hershey said, however, he is
reconciled to the problem, having
gone through a similar one at the
end of World War II.
