TODAY, MORE THAN EV£R, LET US GIVE THANKS
... and give thanks you live in America!
'J'HIS THANKSGIVING as you bow your head to
express your gratitude for your private blessings,
remember to give thanks for one you share with over
150 million other people:
The blessing of living in America.
Nowhere else in the world are your personal rights
so well guarded, and your work so well rewarded.
The average American wage, for instance, is $3100
. . . the Russian but $720.
The American gets an average of 323 pounds of
meat per year . . . the Russian gets only 33 pounds.
TTie American has an average of 38 pounds of
sugar to sweeten his life yearly . . . the Russian just
18 pounds.
The American spreads a minimum of 18 pounds
of butter and margarine on his bread in a year. The
Russian gets but 4.2 pounds.
Authority for these Russian production figures?
The premier of Russia. These are his own statistics
in an official speech to his Deputies.
Such unwitting testimony for the free American
way of life—from the one who would destroy it—
should give us pause this November 22nd.
Pause to express our thanks for the gift of Ameri
can citizenship, and the inalianable rights this gift
bestows.
Pause to determine to protect this way of life
for ourselves and our children’s children . . . against
any odds! —Union Oil Company of California

Gen. Gruenther Hands
NATO Supreme Command
To Gen. Norstad, U.S.A.F.
PARIS, (tfl — Gen. Alfred M.
Gruenther handed over the Su
preme Command of the 15-nation
Atlantic Treaty forces in Europe
Tuesday to U.S. Air Force Gen.
Lauris Norstad.
The new commander said he
took over the post “with a firm
■belief that NATO is, if anything,
more important than ever be
fore.”
“The Soviet have again, and
perhaps more wantonly and bru
tally than ever before, demon
strated that they understand only
force,” Norstad said.
Troops representing all the
NATO nations — except Iceland,
which has no armed forces—pa
raded without arms as the com
mand changed hands at Supreme
Allied Headquarters near Paris.
It signified the end of Gruen
ther’s nearly six years at SHAPE,
first as chief of staff to Gen.
Eisenhower and Gen. Ridgway
and then as supreme commander.
American Communist Party Says
It Does Not Seek To Justify Use Of
Soviet Troops In Hungary’s Crisis
NEW YORK, The National*
Committee‘of the American Com
munist Party says “We do not
seek to justify the use of Soviet
troops in Hungary’s internal crisis
on Nov. 4.”
A letter to party members
from the committee adds, how
ever: “Neither do we join in the
condemnation of this action. Were
there no alternatives? Was it a
grim necessity? There are no
ready answers and we are in no
position to give final judgment
on the Soviet action.”
In a long discussion of events
in Hungary, the letter said:
“The Oct. 24 decision of the
Geroe government to call upon
Soviet troops stationed in Hun
gary to put down the initial popu
lar demonstrations inflamed the
situation to a grave crisis.
“This was a tragic error for
which the Soviet Union must also
take responsibility. It disclosed
the failure of a policy which was
not based securely upon the na
tional needs and sentiments of
the working class and popular
masses in Hungary.”
