'THIS I BELIEVE':
Strong Faith

By DILLY POL"K
Member of the Student Religious Association Council
Having floundered for several years in the lukewarm seas of
agnosticism, I was suddenly presented with the notion that man is
not a creature with a number of oddly assorted feelings about what he
i) and where he is going, but a rational being with a mind capable of
learning final truths and sticking to them.
I had long been assuming that I knew more about God's nature
than I actually did, and I realized that I had better do a little concrete
investigation into so important a subject. (I believed in God because
He seemed obvious to me-both from the beauties of the natural world
and from my personal contact with Him.) Upon investigation, I found
that traditional, orthodox Christianity was inescapable as the proper
manifestation of the relationship between Creator and creature.
Since my conversion, I have come to realize more and more fully
the abiding and overwhelming .love of God for each of His children,
and the delight He takes in the careful arrangement of details so that,
no matter what the evil event, good comes of it. I have come to realize
the point and the value of suffering, whether mental or physical.
Now I know from experience that the Beatitudes, far from being im-
practical aspirations, are the only possible way of governing one's
life.
By taking Our Lord seriously and literally, seeming chaos is
resolved into beautiful order, and one can at last tell where to
begin in life, as well as where one is going. Now that I've found
my way, I can spend all my time and energy in getting there,
rather than in finding out directions.
I believe that love of God must manifest itself in love of man;
he, after all, needs us, while objectively speaking, He does not. "God
does not require us all to go out and be martyrs," someone once said,
"but He does require us not to lose our tempers when the toast burns."
Even if I were some great statesman in charge of foreign affairs,
it would make very little real difference to the world at large if I sud-
denly dropped dead. But perhaps ten or twenty people in Ann Arbor
would be concerned if something happened to me, and are made
happy, sad, or cross by the way I say good morning or the one moment
I spend asking how that test went.
What do I want, then, from life? To do God's will. For I know
that nothing else can make me happy for long, and that He, who
is my Father, will Inot leave me comfortless. I can trust all to Him.
"I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year, 'Give me a
light, that I may tread safely into the unknown.'

Alumni Fund
Drive Planned
By New Group
Pro-tem committee members of
the recently set-up Development
Council yesterday released prelim-
inary plans of an annual alumni
fund drive which would comple-
ment legislative appropriations in
providing for future University ex-
pansion.
The appointment of former pres-
ident Alexander G. Ruthven to an
advisory position as council con-
sultant was announced at the
group's initial organizational
meeting Sunday.
* , *
OUTLINING possible financial
sources for the systematized fund-
raising program committee sub-
chairmen reported plans of an in-
dividual "special gifts" program;
a procedure to encourage alumni
to include bequests to the Univer-
sity in wills; a committee to con-
sider needs specifically for sup-
port of foundations; and a pro-
motional program to publicize the
development set-up.
Distribution of funds collect-
ed under the drive will be deter-
mined from an analysis of re-
ports submitted by every school
and college as to their current
and long-term expansion needs,
according to Council director Al-
an W. MacCarthy.
The newly dedicated women's
swimming pool unit would be an
example of such a need-one that
must be supported through private
subscription and not through ap-
propriations or public grants,
MacCarthy explained.
The Development Council also
plans. to call a committee of stu-
dent leaders who would be respon-
sible for informing the campus of
development objectives and build-
ing up alma-mater loyalty among
future alumni.

Key Korean Hill
SEOUL, Korea - (P) - Battling
with fists, bayonets and rifle butts,
U. S. Marines wrested back the
crest of a major Western Front
hill position yesterday.
About 1,500 Chinese Reds at-
tacked the position and were
forced to withdraw after dark

the fierce struggle.
Regulation
City fire department officials
last night urged strict observ-
ance of the city ordinance re-
garding the burning of leaves
in public streets.
"Unusually dry weather con-
ditions have made automobile
fires a definite hazzard from
uncontrolled leaf fires," a fire
department source commented.
The Ann Arbor department
has responded to an average of
six calls a day during the past
week due to indiscriminant leaf
burning.
Police Find
Dormitory
TheftClues
Ann Arbor police detectives yes-
terday were following clues dis-
covered in connection with two
thefts one of $81 from Phi Kappa
Tau fraternity, the other of al-
most $70 from Martha Cook Resi-
dence Hall Saturday night.
The fraternity theft, fourth in
a series of such robberies, follow-
ed the same pattern as the pre-
vious ones in which money was
taken from billfolds lying on desks
and bureaus in the rooms.
TOM RICKETTS, '53BAd, pres-
ident of Phi Kappa Tau comment-
ed on the brazenness of the thieves
in entering the house with many
homecoming guests on hand, and
expressed little hope of recovering
the money.
A second student robbery took
place at Martha Cook when a
thief, who was seen but not iden-
tified, slipped in at the dinner
hour before the homecoming
crowds had left the dorm and
went through several rooms tak-
ing bills amounting to almost
$70.
A woman resident of the dorm
reported seeing a strange man
whom she claims she could iden-
tify, in her room late Saturday
afternoon. Taking him Q pi an-
other of the many fathers then in
the residence hall for the Home-
coming festivities she thought
nothing of it.
UPON QUESTIONING, the man
claimed he was in the wrong
room and left. Sometime after he
left it was noticed that a number
of bills were missing from her wal-
let on the dresser.
Previously hit in the present
series of house robberies were
Chi Phi, Theta Chi, and Phi
Gamma Delta fraternities where
a total of $328 was taken. Last
weekend's thefts brought the
total to almost $479.
Detective George J. Simmons of
the Ann Arbor police department,
who is in charge of the case, ad-
vised students not to leave purses
and billfolds lying about and to
take every precaution to protect
their property.
Professors
Hold Foreign
Policy Debate
Speaking in a dimly lit ward of
University Hospital, Prof. Henry
Bretton, of the political science de-
partment, and Prof. Preston Slos-
son, of the history department,
waged a battle of, words on the
Democratic foreign policy.
Taking the affirmative side of
the question, "Resolved: that the
foreign policy of the Democratic
administration has been inade-
quate," Prof. Bretton charged that
once the administration had com-
mitted innumerable blunders "it
then failed to stop the already
bloated Communist colossus."
Prof. Slosson defended the
Roosevelt-Truman policy by cit-
ing seven achievements of the
Democrats: the UN charter, the
Marshall Plan, NATO, the Truman
Doctrine, Korean intervention, the
Point Four Program and the re-
ciprocal trade agreements.
He went on to say that "Repub-
licans must be judged by their
past record in which they have
consistently tried to cut down aid
-designed to check Communism."
"Although we won the war, we
have lost the peace," Prof. Bret-

Candidates Slam Each
Other As Election Nears
Eisenhower.,!
PITTSBURGH - ( ) - Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed
all across Pennsylvania Monday
an unshakable determination to go
on to Korea, if elected president,
and try to "diminish this flow of
American blood."
The Republican presidential
nominee, attacking his Democratic
opponent, Gov. Adlai E. Steven-
son, as "completely untutored in
the tough business of world rela-

er will speak at 9 p.m. today on
the NBC radio network.
tions," told cheering Pennsylvan-
ians he is going over "no matter
what anybody says."
AN OVERFLOW crowd fought
to get the 11,000 seats in the Hunt
Armory but many thousands never
made it. Those who did gave the
General a tremendous roaring wel-
come.
He got a big hand when he
said almost at the outset of his
speech:
"So long as a single American
soldier faces enemy fire in Korea,
the honorable ending of the Kor-
ean War and the securing of hon-
orable peace in the world must be
the first-the urgent and unshak-
able purpose of a new administra-
tion."
But he said earlier at Johns-
town there is "no quick patent
medicine cure" for Korea,. al-
though we can do better than we
have done.
Stevenson has suggested the
place to settle the Korean War is
in Moscow. Eisenhower had this
come back:
"It betrays again the mentality
that is completely untutored in
the tough business of world rela-
tions. It is the cry of men whose
formula for dealing with Soviet
aggression has been openly stated
in terms of 'give and concede.'
"IT IS THE CRY of a candidate
who before this campaign changed
his tune and who only last May
called for what he himself de-
scribed as a 'prolonged public dis-
cussion of what it will be neces-
sary to concede' to Soviet Russia.
McCarthy Blasts
Stevenson, Aides
Declares Election to Decide Whether
Anierica or Communism Triumphs
CHICAGO (/P)-Gen. Joseph R. McCarthy, in a slashing attack on
Gov. Adlai Stevenson and his advisors. said last night that the Nov.
4 election will decide whether America or Communism wins.
The Republican senator from Wisconsin also charged:
1. That Democratic presidential nominee Stevenson "is part and
parcel of the Acheson-Hiss-Lattimore group."
2. Endorses "suicidal Kremlin-shaped policies for America."
3. Once had a plan for foisting Communism" on the Italians after
Mussolini's fall.
"I do not state that Stevenson was a Communist or pro-Commu-
nist, but I must believe that some-

NEW YORK-(P)-Gov. Adlai
E. Stevenson brought his new
fighting campaign into New York
Monday and met a rip-roaring re-
ception in populous Harlem.
Stevenson arrived after a stren-
uous day in New England where
he charged Gen. Dwight D. Eis-
enhower with promising some-
thing he can't deliver-an early
peace in Korea.
THE GENERAI, he said, has
taken a "bewildering variety of
positions" on the major issues of
the campaign.
As the crowd cheered, Stev-
epson said Eisenhower "speaks
with every voice in the Repub-
lican party except his own."
The Illinois governor teed off on
Eisenhower's Korean views before
a throng, estimated at 14,000 per-
sons by the Providence Journal,
in Providence's City Hall Square.
STEVENSON said Eisenhower
had "led the people to believe that
if they will trust him, he will find
a way out" of the Korean stale-
mate. Having told a Brockton,
Mass., crowd earlier in the day
that no one knows when th'e war
will end, he added:
"Americans are distrustful of
men who tell them 'follow me'
and won't say where they are
going."
Stevenson told a howling, cheer-
ing crowd estimated at 5,000 pack-
ed into the railroad station at

New Haven, Conn., that the Re-
publicans had resorted to "abuse
and vilifications" in the campaign.
ASSERTING that the only Re-
publican refrain was "it's time
for a change," the Democratic
nominee said:
"I don't think I have to talk
to the American people in words
of one syllable or in generalities
-like some generals."
He said Eisenhower had recom-
mended that the voters return to
the Senate "the worst collection
of isolationists the country has
ever known."
thing was wrong somewhere," he
said.
McCarthy's "coldly documented
background of this man who wants
to be president" was prepared for
deivery before 1,150 persons at a
$50-a-plate dinner.
THE SPEECH, broadcast and
televised nation-wide, was spon-
sored by a private group headed
by Gen. Robert E. Wood, chairman
of Sears, Roebuck & Co.
McCarthy made these charges
in his long-awaited "Stevenson
Story" which he had said would
show Stevenson's connections
with known Communists and
Communist causes.
McCarthy said the Daily Work-
er eight days ago "damned Eisen-
hower" and then went on to say
"that they did not like Steven-
son too well, either, but that if
Communists want to vote for Ste-
venson-okay, vote for him-but
vote for no one else on the Demo-
cratic ticket-elect local Progres-
sive party candidates and pile up
a big vote for those Communist
candidates who are in the field.
McCarthy also charged that
Stevenson, while in the State
Department in 1943, had a plan
for "foisting the Communists
upon the Itlaian.s"
In this connection, McCarthy
referred to a book written by Gen.
Walter Bedell Smith, head of the
Central Intelligence Agency. In
that book, McCarthy said, "the
policy for Italy was given as name-
ly to "connive' to bring Commu-
nists into the Italian government
and to bring the Italian Commu-
nist leader, Togliatti, back from
Moscow."
Lewis Orders
Hiners Return
PITTSBURGH - (P) - Go-to-
work telegrams sent by John L.
Lewis to aides throughout the na-
tion's soft-coal fields ended the
week-long coal strike yesterday.
The president of the striking
United Mine 'Workers told his
miners to resume production in
the best interests of the public
and themselves pending a final
decision on the pay increase.
Coal production stopped just a
week ago following a Wage Stab-
ilization Board ruling that $.40
should be taken off the $190-a-
day pay boost which Lewis recent-
ly negotiated with the industry.
When the WSB action cut min-
ers pay from the expected $18.20
for a basic minimum day to $17.85,
they promptly refused to work.
They took the stand that the Gov-
ernment had nullified their con-
tract.
Lewis sided with his men and
said they wouldn't work unless
they got the full $1.90.
There is no official indication of
how the pay issue will be resolved
finally.
