1st Award
U. N. IS STEP TOWARD
WORLD DICTATORSHIP
I'., the Moline Dnilx Dispatch:
The UN instead of being a progressive
step toward world peace and prosperity,
could become a death trap for freedom-
loving peoples.
The U. S. is the greatest nation on
earth because the principles embodied in
the Constitution were established by
God-fearing men and based upon the
divine standards set forth in the word
nf I.ml. However, the proposed revision
to the I \ charter would require all
member states to surrender their national sovereignty to this international
body; whereby, under majorily rule,
those peoples who have no respeet lor
divine authority and American principles would lie in a position to determine-, define, and enforce the standards
governing every individual upon the
face of the earth. Having once surrendered national sovereignty to the power
controlling the resources and mililarv
forces nl lhe- world, no nation could
hope lei regain freedom.
The UN is a definite step toward
totalitarianism and world dictatorship.

ELECTION WILL TELL
To the Boston Post:
'lhe- newspapers continually slate that
if Ike does not run lor President he will
pick a- hi- successor someone who will
continue his policies.
The supine and apathetic wel\ in
whieh eiur eitizens accept that statemenl
indicates all teeo elearU the e\ il elfecl on
our thinking due lo coexistence with
totalitarian goveri nts.
Our Constitution provides ineeins for
our citizens to choose their Presidents
and carry out their will -and does not
intend that an incumbent President

his policies or not until next election
