THE bAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE; PENNSYLVANIA WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 (/P) President Truman today proclaimed, 1952 a "cruicial year" in the struggle of the United States and the free world' to re-arm against the threat of World War 111. Warning that Soviet Russia is expanding her armed might, atomically and otherwise, the President declared solemnly that the threat of an other global conflict, is still "very real." With Prime Minister Churchill of Great Britain listening intently in the gallery—and a huge unseen audience following his words by coast-to-coast radio and televi sion Mr. Truman told a joint session of. Congress: FDR Dictum , "The world still walks in the shadow of another world war . . . the United States and the whole free world are• passing through a period of grave danger . .. we are moving through a perilous time . . . faced with `a terrible threat of aggression." Echoing the late President Roosevelt's dictum that "the only thing we have to fear is fear it self," Mr. Truman said in com menting on the cold war with Russia: "The only thing that• can de feat us is our 'own state of mind. We can lose if we falter." • Peace Is Goal In, general, Mr. Truman pledged this country to help build up the fr e e world's defenses against the threat of aggression and to seek peace by following the "hard road" between war and appeasement. "Peace is our goal—not peace at any price, but a peace based on freedom and justice," he said. In broad outline, the President sketched the legislative program he would like Congress to adopt in the months ahead—largely a renewed but somewhat soft-ped alled plea for the domestic poli cies he calls his "Fair" Deal:" Civil rights, federal aid to education, improved social security benefits, stronger farm price supports, and national health insurance. Mr. Truman threw out a hint of possibly higher taxes, saying he would talk about that subject in a later message. He said he will soon ask for an increase in the nation's armed forces, notably in air power.

The' vote against Russia's de mand that the Korean negotia tions be referred to a high level meeting of the Security Council— where the Russians have used the veto often—was 40 to six.

If the evil is not to come, it is useless, and so much waste; if it is to come, best keep all your strength to meet it."—Edwards troduced early in the talks and still exists." He told Chinese Maj.

He said if the Reds tried to con struct airfields before an armistice is signed they would find the "air fraught with danger." No progress was made Wednes day on prisoner exchange talks. The Communists do not want certain classes of prisoners pa roled and do not want the pri soners to choose for themselves whether they will go back to the Red zone when an armistice is declared.
