Before my tomb a nation bows her head In silent gratitude. AVithin this shining vault I here was laid A grim reminder of the price we paid On bloody battlefields. We fought and died to win a glorious peace. By which the light of war should ever cease To plague a weary world.

My comrades, can it be we died in vain? Rethinks 1 hear the battle cry again. It mocks our every deed. God, did not our noblest deeds suffice? How many more must pay this awful price. To win a lasting peace? How many youths must yet within the tomb Because the hearts of men still find no room For love and brotherhood? Weep not for us you mortals rather weep For those who still must join us in Death's sleep Unless you be more wise. You weep for all the greed, and hate and pride That make a world of men turn suicide, By selfish lusts ensnared.

Unknown, I am but a voice To be heard at times when there is no choice. For others to speak.

HU May 30 America should take the offensive in the cold war with Russia, Harold Stassen said today. The University of Pennsylvania president, spoke at Memorial Day services on the campus of Southern Illinois university. "It Is absolutely necessary that In the social and ideological and economic struggle we begin to attack, rather than sit back with a negative, defense, wait-for-the-dust to settle policy," Stassen declared. "There Is a graver danger today of war coming to the shores of America from a foreign source than at any time since the war of 1812." "This is true because in these last five years we have been losing the cold war struggle with the ruthless rulers of Russia in the Kremlin." Three "salients" for the cold attack were listed by Stassen: "First, tighten up our defense against subversion and espionage at home, permit no one to remain in a crucial, critical position In either the diplomatic or economic battlefront who has in the past been a coddler of Communists or an associate in Red causes." Stassen said this does not mean he country should engage in a "witch hunt" but that "we need out best forces In the front ranks and those best forces are men who neither now nor in the past have been linked with organizations of a pro-Communist nature." "Second, embark upon an affirm. ative program in Asia, under the leadership of an able administrator similar to Paul Hoffman in the Marshall plan in Europe." inird.

The six-day program of ideological indoctrination almost like mass hypnosis produced its final slogan last night when East Germany's Communist Prime Minister Otto Groiewohl shouted to torchlight processions in mid-city: "Our youth will one day tear down all zonal barriers and restore the unity of Germany." But the top slogan of all. repeated time and again by youthful German lips, was: "We will fight alongside the Soviet Union." "For peace." they added.

May 30 CP) Jobs on the Atomic Energy commission, including the vacant chairmanship, might be a matter for Presidential meditation during the quiet of a holiday cruise. Terms of all AEC members are up exactly a month from today.

President Truman has cut rather short the time the senate will have for considering reappointments or any new nominations. One of the guests Mr. Truman took on a Potomac river cruise over Memorial Day was Donald Dawson, his administrative assistant on personnel problems. Thus there was a chance for the President to find out what Dawson has done about checking on AEC possibilities. Various members of congress say it now looks as if Mr.

Truman might nominate an entire five-man commission to take over on July 1. Some think he might reappoint most, or perhaps all. of the four present members of AEC. They are Sumner Pike, Henry D. Smyth, Gordon Dean and Thomas Murray.

Pike, a Maine Repubican. has been acting chairman since David E. Lili-enthal quit in February. Dozens of people have been mentioned for the chairmanship and the White House has sounded out a few. But there has been no evidence that Mr.

Truman definitely has offered the post to anyone yet. Budget Officers Will Attend Laramie Course LARAMIE, May 30.

Terrorists Active as Korea Votes SEOUL. Korea. May 30 M) Small scale terrorist raids and isolated acts of violence erupted today as South Koreans balloted for a new national assembly.

But the major disruptions promised by Communist North Korea in broadcasts from Pyongyang did not materialize.

Between 6.000.000 and 8.000.000 voters were to cast ballots to fill the 210 seats in the South Korea republic's single house. Last minute withdrawals cut the number of candidates to 2.1 44. representing 15 parties.

More than two-thirds were listed as independents. This was the first self-conducted election in Korea's 4.000 year history. Two years ago. the U. S.
