IOMMENCEMENT SPEECH:
Murrow Sees End to Isolation
'U' Receives $451,549 in Gifts;
Alumni Fund Contributes Half
Chief of the United States In-
formation Agency Edward R. Mur-
row told June's graduating class
that there are no more merely
domestic issues.
"We have lost the luxury of
living in an isolated America," he
said. "To some of us the picture
of a burning bus in Alabama may
merely represent the speed and
competence of a photographer, but
to those in the United States In-
formation Agency it means that
picture will be front-paged to-
morrow all the way from Manila
to Manchester.
Impact Abroad
"The speech of a single senator
to a hometown audience can have
more impact abroad than months
of our agency's informational ac-
tivities," he said.
Discussing the agency's pro-
gram, Murrow said that attention
would be concentrated upon areas
where ideological competition is
being waged. He pointed to Afri-
ca, Latin America and Southeast
Asia as areas for expansion.
He said that the agency planned
to take the offensive in the "war
of ideas." "Distortion and dupli-
city about this nation and its
people will not go unanswered."
Murrow said that the difficulty
of interpreting America to the
world made credibility a goal.
"What is one man's truth is an-
other man's falsehood," he said.
The agency attempts to make
United States policy intelligible
and, wherever possible, palatable.
Murrow told the graduates that
"somewhere along the way you
must have picked up some ideas
about the dignity and the free-
dom of the individual, about his
right to be wrong and his rights
under the law.
"A tradition of government by
the governed, of revolution by con-
sent-these are among the greater
virtues that we have to demon-
strate to a world sorely in need of
great virtues," he said.
Sharer of Dreams
"If truth must be our guide, then
dreams must be our goal," Murrow
said. "To the hunger of those
masses yearning to learn in free-
dom, we shay say: 'We share your
dreams.' As a nation we have
never been allergic to change.
Ours was the first of the great
revolutions. It is a birthright we
do not intend to let go by de-
fault."
Murrow warned the graduates
"if your sole purpose is personal
profit at the expense of that so-
