This fitted with the account in Hong Kong of the ilMated airliner's pilot, Capt. Philip Blown, that "they shot us down with the intention of killing us." Clark Field officers praised the work of 31-year-old Capt. Woodyard of Washington, D.C., and his crew as one of the outstanding sea rescues in U.S. Air Force history.

But the strict rules which lim it.
House debate do not apply in the Senate, and a resumption of round-the-clock sessions are possible for the Senators unless some agreement1 is reached. Knowland pleaded -yesterday for some "reasonable formula" for a settlement, declaring that President Eisenhower does not askr for- a rubber-stamp Congress." He gave no indication, however, how far he might be Willing to compromise. On the, other side, Sen. Gore (D) told newsmen, "I now doubt that we can win."

He said free peoples must unite ''if they are to meet successfully the opposition which is united by force, by the threat of the MVD, by the threat of the police, the threat that comes about when a child is asked to inform upon its parents, when there is no sanctity left in family life, or in community life in anything, indeed, except slavish devotion to the head of the state."

"And mayhap this is some times true, in the temporary sense.
But it can not possibly be true in the permanent sense, if we are to win that security, that peace, of wnich all man kind so desperately longs.
