The American Presidency Project
Harry S. Truman
XXXIII President of the United States: 1945-1953
117 - Commencement Address at Princeton University.
June 17, 1947
President Dodds, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
The President of Princeton University spoke of crises a while ago. He should try sitting in my chair for about an hour and a half!
It is with a great deal of pleasure, and much pride, that I am now able to count myself as a member of the Princeton family. Princeton University has conferred an honor upon me for which I am deeply grateful. I consider it a special privilege to have received the degree of Doctor of Laws at the Final Convocation of the Bicentennial Year in the presence of this distinguished company.
On an earlier occasion of equal significance in the history of this University, the President of the United States, Grover Cleveland, spoke in 1896 at the Princeton Sesquicentennial Ceremonies. President Cleveland seized that opportunity to charge our colleges and universities with the task of supplying a "constant stream of thoughtful, educated men" to the body politic--men who were eager to perform public service for the benefit of the Nation. He chided our institutions of higher learning for their lack of interest in public affairs, and held them responsible for the disdain with which many of the best educated men of the day viewed politics and public affairs.
Happily for us, that attitude on the part of our universities vanished long ago. I am certain that no observer of the American scene in recent years has detected any reluctance on the part of our educators to enter the political arena when their services have been needed. And our schools have made much progress in supplying the "constant stream of thoughtful, educated men" for public service called for by President Cleveland half a century ago.
That task is more important today than at any previous time in our national history.
In our free society, knowledge and learning are endowed with a public purpose--a noble purpose, close to the heart of democracy. That purpose is to help men and women develop their talents for the benefit of their fellow citizens. Our advance in the natural sciences has led to almost miraculous achievements, but we have less reason to be proud of our progress in developing the capacity among men for cooperative living. In the present critical stage of world history, we need, more than ever before, to enlist all our native integrity and industry in the conduct of our common affairs.
The role of the United States is changing more rapidly than in any previous period of our history. We have had to assume worldwide responsibilities and commitments. Our people have placed their trust in the Government as the guardian of our democratic ideals and the instrument through which we work for enduring peace.
The success of the Government's efforts in achieving these ends will depend upon the quality of citizenship of our people. It will also depend upon the extent to which our leaders in business, labor, the professions, agriculture, and every other field, appreciate the role of their Government and the greatness of its tasks.
Our schools must train future leaders in all fields to understand and concern themselves with the expanded role of the Government, and--equally important--to see the need for effective administration of the Government's business in the public interest.
I call your attention particularly to the problem of effective administration within the Government, where matters of unprecedented magnitude and complexity confront the public servant. If our national policies are to succeed, they must be administered by officials with broad experience, mature outlook, and sound judgment. There is, however, a critical shortage of such men--men who possess the capacity to deal with great affairs of state.
The Government has recruited from our academic institutions many members of its professional staffs--geologists, physicists, lawyers, economists, and others with specialized training. These men are essential to the conduct of the Government and to the welfare of the Nation. But we have been much less effective in obtaining persons with broad understanding and an aptitude for management. We need men who can turn a group of specialists into a working team and who can combine imagination and practicability with a sound public program.
All large organizations, public and private, depend on the teamwork of specialists. ordination is achieved by administrators trained to assemble the fruits of specialized knowledge and to build on that foundation a sound final decision. Men trained for this kind of administrative and political leadership are rare indeed.
In the task of finding and training men and women who will add strength to the public service, universities have a particular responsibility. They should develop in their students the capacity for seeing and meeting social problems as a whole and for relating special knowledge to broad issues. They should study the needs of Government, and encourage men and women with exceptional interests and aptitudes along the necessary lines to enter the Government service.
The Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs of this university was established with this purpose in mind. It seeks to prepare students for public careers. It is significant that the school bears the name of a statesman whose concept of civic duty contributed so much to the Nation and to the world.
Of course, the Government cannot and does not expect to rely entirely upon our educational institutions for its administrators. It must bring into service from business and labor, and the professions, the best qualified persons to fill the posts at all levels.
The Government must take several steps to make its career service more attractive to the kind of men and women it needs.
Salary limitations prevent the Government, in many instances, from securing the kind of executives required to manage its vital activities. Capable administrators are too frequently drawn away from the Government to private positions with salaries many times what they could earn in the Government service. This situation can be remedied only by laws to bring salaries more nearly in line with the heavy responsibilities that executives carry at the higher levels in the public service.
The complexities of the tasks now facing our top officials force them to spend most of their time in studying matters of policy. These officials should be supported by a career group of administrators skilled in the various aspects of management. If capable men and women can look forward to holding such posts as a reward for able service, they will be more eager to accept Government employment.
Because of the difficult tasks of Government today, we should plan a program for the systematic training of civilian employees once they have entered the public service. It is not generally possible at the present time for the Federal Government to send its employees to universities for special short-term training programs. Nor is it permissible under existing law to spend Federal funds for Government schools to develop the knowledge and techniques required by officials in their work.
This is a problem that can be solved only by the joint efforts of the Government and the universities. Training programs can be formulated, both on the job and on the campus. The Government must make provision for its employees to participate. The universities will need to provide courses well adapted to increasing the effectiveness of the employee in his job. Such a plan is certain to pay substantial dividends.
I have been speaking about the important contribution which educational institutions can make to the service of the Nation through preparing men and women to administer our far-flung public enterprises.
Another contribution which I regard as important at this time is support for a program of universal training. I consider such a program vital to the national welfare. Since universal training necessarily affects young men of college age, I believe that our educational institutions should be particularly aware of the need for such a program and what it can accomplish.
The recent war left in its wake a tremendous task of repair and reconstruction, of building a new and orderly world out of the economic and social chaos of the old. It is a task too great for us, or for any other nation, to undertake alone. Even though we are contributing generously and wholeheartedly, no single nation has the means to set the world aright. It is a job for all nations to do together. Unfortunately, however, generosity of impulse and abundant good will are not enough to insure the political stability essential to social and economic reconstruction. Peace-loving nations can make only slow progress toward the attainment of a stable world--in which all peoples are free to work out their own destinies in their own way--unless their moral leadership is supported by strength.
Weakness on our part would stir fear among the small or weakened nations that we were giving up our world leadership. It would seem to them that we lacked the will to fulfill our pledge to aid free and independent nations to maintain their freedoms, or our commitments to aid in restoring war-torn economies. In such an atmosphere of uncertainty, these nations might not be able to resist the encroachments of totalitarian
pressures.
We must not let friendly nations go by default.
A few days ago, I sent to the Congress a report outlining a program designed to provide this country with the military strength required to support our foreign policy until such time as the growing authority of the United Nations will make such strength unnecessary.1 That report was prepared by an advisory commission of distinguished citizens. One of them was President Dodds. The Commission reported its belief that the United States should have small professional armed forces. These should be supported by a reserve of trained citizens, derived from a carefully planned program of universal training for young men. Without such training, in the opinion of the commission, we cannot maintain effective reserves. Hence the commission regards universal training as an essential element in a balanced program for security.
1 See Item 106.
Universal training represents the most democratic, the most economical, and the most effective method of maintaining the military strength we need. It is the only way that such strength can be achieved without imposing a ruinous burden on our economy through the maintenance of a large standing armed force.
The justification for universal training is its military necessity. However, it is a matter of deep concern to me that the training program shall be carried out in a manner that will contribute materially to the health and character of our young men. I am certain that the kind of training recommended in the report of the advisory commission will not only make our youth better equipped to serve their country, but better mentally, morally, and physically. The experience of living together and fulfilling a common responsibility should strengthen the spirit of democracy. It will be an experience in democratic living, out of which should come in increased measure the unity so beneficial to the welfare of the Nation.
We must remember, above all, that these men would not be training in order to win a war, but in order to prevent one.
I am confident that our educational institutions understand the need for universal training and recognize it as a vital responsibility of citizenship in our day.
The obligations of our educational institutions which I have been discussing are great, but in the world today there is a still greater obligation. It is the obligation of service to all nations in the cause of lasting peace.
There can be no greater service to mankind, and no nobler mission, than devotion to world peace.
The course has been charted.
The Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization states the basic truths by which we must be guided. That Constitution reads: "Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed."
The construction of the defenses of peace in the minds of men is the supreme task which our educational institutions must set for themselves.
This convocation is a symbol of what our educational institutions can do in the cause of peace. It marks the end of a great series of conferences, attended by scholars from all over the world, who assembled here for free discussion of the most challenging problems facing men today.
The special significance of these meetings is that they restored bonds in many fields of learning between our own and other lands--bonds which had been impaired by the war. The resumption of meetings of scholars, businessmen, religious leaders and Government officials is evidence of our conviction that the peace must "be founded, if it is not to fail, upon the intellectual solidarity of mankind."
Free and inquiring minds, with unlimited access to the sources of knowledge, can be the architects of a peaceful and prosperous world.
As we gain increasing understanding of man, comparable to our increasing understanding of matter, we shall develop, with God's grace, the ability of nations to work together and live together in lasting peace.
Note: The President spoke at 12:30 p.m. from the steps of Nassau Hall at Princeton University

I suppose that every thoughtful man in America has asked himself, during these last troubled weeks, what influence the European war may exert upon the United States, and I take the liberty of addressing a few words to you in order to point out that it is entirely within our own choice what its effects upon us will be and to urge very earnestly upon you the sort of speech and conduct which will best safeguard the Nation against distress and disaster.
The effect of the war upon the United States will depend upon what American citizens say and do. Every man who really loves America will act and speak in the true spirit of neutrality, which is the spirit of impartiality and fairness and friendliness to all concerned. The spirit of the Nation in this critical matter will be determined largely by what individuals and society and those gathered in public meetings do and say, upon what newspapers and magazines contain, upon what ministers utter in their pulpits, and men proclaim as their opinions on the street.
The people of the United States are drawn from many nations, and chiefly from the nations now at war. It is natural and inevitable that there should be the utmost variety of sympathy and desire among them with regard to the issues and circumstances of the conflict. Some will wish one nation, others another, to succeed in the momentous struggle. It will be easy to excite passion and difficult to allay it. Those responsible for exciting it will assume a heavy responsibility, responsibility for no less a thing than that the people of the United States, whose love of their country and whose loyalty to its Government should unite them as Americans all, bound in honor and affection to think first of her and her interests, may be divided in camps of hostile opinion, hot against each other, involved in the war itself in impulse and opinion if not in action.
Such divisions among us would be fatal to our peace of mind and might seriously stand in the way of the proper performance of our duty as the one great nation at peace, the one people holding itself ready to play a part of impartial mediation and speak the counsels of peace and accommodation, not as a partisan, but as a friend.
I venture, therefore, my fellow countrymen, to speak a solemn word of warning to you against that deepest, most subtle, most essential breach of neutrality which may spring out of partisanship, out of passionately taking sides. The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name during these days that are to try men's souls. We must be impartial in thought as well as in action, must put a curb upon our sentiments as well as upon every transaction that might be construed as a preference of one party to the struggle before another.
My thought is of America. I am speaking, I feel sure, the earnest wish and purpose of every thoughtful American that this great country of ours, which is, of course, the first in our thoughts and in our hearts, should show herself in this time of peculiar trial a Nation fit beyond others to exhibit the fine poise of undisturbed judgment, the dignity of self-control, the efficiency of dispassionate action; a Nation that neither sits in judgment upon others nor is disturbed in her own counsels and which keeps herself fit and free to do what is honest and disinterested and truly serviceable for the peace of the world.
Shall we not resolve to put upon ourselves the restraints which will bring to our people the happiness and the great and lasting influence for peace we covet for them?

‘Sandhogs’ celebrate Air Force’s 67th birthday
By Julie Fiedler 1ST INF. DIV. POST October 22, 2014
“I’m a ‘Big Red One’ Airman,” aren’t words one hears often.
But that’s exactly what Maj. Gen. Paul E. Funk II, commanding general, 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley, told a group of Airmen with the 10th Air Support Operations Squadron, U.S. Air Force, gathered to celebrate the U.S. Air Force’s 67th birthday Sept. 18 at Fort Riley.
The 10th ASOS is a tenant Air Force unit at Fort Riley that integrates with Army units, advocates for air power and executes missions.
“You guys have been a tremendous asset to our organization,” Funk told the Airmen. “You’re great tenants here on Fort Riley, and I consider you part of the division … Thanks for doing what you do to make this organization better.”
In honor of the Air Force birthday, the “Sandhogs” celebrated with cake and a presentation by guest speaker retired Col. Roger Locher, who evaded capture when his plane was shot down in North Vietnam.
“We’re here to celebrate our heritage. We’re here to remember where we came from … from our Army roots all the way to the Air Force that we have (today providing) global reach, global power and global vigilance,” said Lt. Col. Sean Monteiro, commander, 10th ASOS, before introducing the distinguished guest.
Locher, then a captain, was shot down May 10, 1972. He ejected from his F-4 Phantom II over North Vietnam and evaded capture for 23 days before being rescued.
“If you guys are looking for resiliency, can-do attitude and the ability to survive, you’re looking (at it),” Monteiro said of Locher. “(His) was the deepest rescue made inside North Vietnam during the entire war.”
Locher recounted the beginning of his ordeal as he and Maj. Robert Lodge set out on a mission to engage with enemy aircraft.
“It was our job to keep the MiGs off,” he said, adding, “We were going to go up there and kick some butt and take some names.”
After taking down several MiG-21s, a MiG-19 flew by out of blue and hit Locher’s F-4. He recalled not wanting to eject because he felt the safest place to be was in an aircraft. But as the plane passed 8,000 feet, Locher took action, ejecting and engaging his parachute.
He pointed to a map showing the area.
“This is … where I actually entered their country without a visa,” he said.
Upon landing, Locher took stock of his situation.
“The good news is I’m not getting toasted in the back of an airplane anymore,” he said. “The bad news is, holy crap, I’m 45 miles northwest of Hanoi.”
He thought back to his intelligence briefings, recalling locations of major terrain features, distances and survival techniques. He knew it wouldn’t be long before locals were searching for him, so he went through his belongings.
Anything he didn’t want, he stacked with his parachute and positioned them so they pointed to the crash site.
“I wanted them to think I’m going downhill,” he said.
He also walked in a box so if his trail was picked up, pursuers wouldn’t know which way he’d gone. Then, he made for a ridgeline.
“I’ve got to get out of here,” he recalled thinking.
Progress was slow and fear of discovery was his constant companion. He learned the schedule of the villagers and scheduled his own movements accordingly – pushing forward at first light and finding cover during active hours.
The first week, he didn’t think much of food as he was preoccupied with surviving. By the second week, it was all he could think of.
“It was an obsession,” he said, adding with a smile, “I haven’t missed a meal since 1972.”
He recalled an encounter with a monitor lizard and remembered lying stock still listening to the voices of children playing nearby. One day he thought he had made good progress, only to find he had walked in a big circle. He recounted the day he was nearly discovered hiding under a pile of debris.
“Had they been actively looking for me, had they had a dog, had they just poked around to see what that pile of trash was, they could have had me,” he said of several youth who were within feet of his position.
After about two weeks, Locher said it occurred to him not only was he on his own, but also no one knew if he was alive or where he was.
“I found myself several times thinking, ‘woe is me,’” he said, telling the Airmen how pointless it is to replay the past. “If you ever find yourself second-guessing yourself, ‘woe is me’ … cut it off … It’s going to eat you up.”
He steeled his resolve and plotted a course of action, deciding to take a day of rest and move out June 1.
“I’ve got to get back to military patrol. I’ve got to give it my best shot,” he recalled thinking.
After hearing aircraft overhead June 1 and determining they were friendly, Locher made radio contact – 22 days after being shot down. A rescue was attempted but had to be called off due to heavy ground fire. On June 2, 1972, the rescue mission was given high priority by Gen. John Vogt, commander, 7th Air Force.
Locher recalled the rescue was almost as tense as his evasion.
“The suspense (was) starting to get to me,” he said. “I’m not getting shot down twice.”
Not only did he make it aboard the rescue helicopter, where he ate a tin of cookies offered to him from a crew member’s care package, but the crew also managed an emergency refueling before returning to safety.
“Those are my heroes,” Locher said of his rescue crew, adding many times people could have thrown up their hands and said they tried their best. But, he said, they never did.
Neither did Locher.

Sims Names Reichert Sheriff -- 25-Year Veteran To Take Command Monday
By Dee Norton, Lily Eng
Seattle Times Staff Reporters
King County Executive Ron Sims today named Police Maj. Dave Reichert sheriff - Sims' first major appointment and apparently a popular one.
The announcement was met with cheers and applause from officers and family members who had packed a county conference room.
Stepping to the podium, an emotional Reichert looked in the direction of his wife and mother and paused to compose himself. Flanked by several of his officers, he said he was overwhelmed.
"This is an amazing honor," he said. "I can't express what this means to me."
His wife, Julie Reichert, then pinned his new sheriff's badge above medals of valor he'd received earlier in his career.

Records of U.S. Attorneys and Marshals:
Transcripts of Grand Jury Testimony in the Alger Hiss Case
Record Group 118
AGENCY HISTORY
The Records of U.S. Attorneys and Marshals (Record Group 118) in the holdings of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) include transcripts of the grand jury testimony of seventy-four witnesses relating to the case of Alger Hiss. From July 1947 to May 1949, these witnesses testified before two federal grand juries in the Southern District of New York. The grand juries were investigating Communist espionage and other illegal activities in the United States, with a particular focus upon the actions of alleged Soviet spies in the U.S. government.
The first grand jury completed its work on December 15, 1948, when it indicted Alger Hiss on two counts of perjury. The next day, a second grand jury was sworn in to continue the investigation.

So, that's it. I remember now. Richard Molck had me working at a company that manufactured engines for NASCAR. Can't recall precise details about that company and I had to think for a minute of that was correct and that seems to be because then I started thinking of how they were testing engines. So Richard Molck, who had already left the Wainwright a few months before I did and where my departure location was at Monaco, had a computer maintenance contract with that company. I remember most of something very close to hostility towards me by that point. He was tipped off. He had no idea when he hired me that I was an active Chief Deputy United States Marshal of the United States and that I was also uniquely an active serving officer of the United States Marine Corps. I worked with Richard Molck on that ship from 1987 until he left the ship in 1989 and he had no idea in 1996 and 1997 about my federal roles in the 1990s until he was tipped off by the racketeers that funded his enterprise.

Richard Molck never once figured it out for himself. He and I worked together on the same computer system on the USS Wainwright CG 28 where I was stationed from July 1987 until January 1990. He was already stationed aboard the ship when I arrived and he left before I did, I think he left six months before I did, maybe less. In 1997 he wanted me to join a startup company with him where I would work as the senior computer tech. After he promised me a sign-on bonus of $20K he gave me a couple of laptop computers that he told me he stole from the bank we had both been working at.
Somebody eventually told him that I was also working for the United States Marshals Service and he fired me.
That's why I went to work for him in 1997. To see if someone who had worked with me during and afer 19 July 1989 could tell if there was something different about me. He never did figure it out for himself. Then he got paranoid about the laptops and other stuff he told me about.

Bridge over troubled waters
by Capt. Bente Ravn
First published in SFOR Informer #11, May 28, 1997
Mostar - The war in Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH) caused much pain and destruction. Many people lost family, friends, and homes and some cities became divided. One of the best known of these is Mostar, the largest city in Hercegovina with 109,000 inhabitants. In 1522 Mostar became the headquarters of the Ottoman administration of Hercegovina. Many military missions against Venetian cities were launched from the city, which came under Austrian control from 1878-1918, and then became part of Yugoslavia. Today it is a part of BiH.
According to a pre-war consensus, Mostar’s population consisted of 20 % Bosnian-Serbs, 40 % Bosniacs and 40 % Bosnian-Croats. There are practically no longer any Bosnian-Serbs in the city, they are living in the mountains south and east of the city. Bosniacs, make up 55 % of the city’s inhabitants live east of the river. Bosnian-Croats make up the remaining 45 %, and live on the west side of the Neretva.
Mostar has a story to tell. It is the story of the Old Bridge, an elegant single span arch built over the river Neretva by the Ottoman Turks. Mostar is an old city, established in the 15th century when a small settlement began to form around an old Roman wooden bridge over the Neretva river, but the name Mostar comes from the old white limestone bridge Stari Most (most means bridge, and stari means old - hence Mostar) which was finished in 1566 after nine years construction for the Ottoman emperor Sultan Sleiman the Magnificent.
On November 9, 1993, during bitter civil war in the city, the bridge was shelled by a Bosnian Croat tank from Mt. Hum. One of its last roles had been to allow Muslim defenders of the "left bank" cross the river and take supplies to their supporters and the population that had remained there. It withstood many centuries, but it could not survive this concentrated effort to demolish it. After several direct hits, this magnificent piece of history crashed into the waters below.
