The poS'lbility of achieve- ments m plaruJing, m buildmg, in creating a quality of life are unlimited. · "No generation has ever had a chance to do so much in so hort a time for so many." 'APOSTLES OF' VIOLENCE' On the problems n the na- tion's college campuses, Stans said· "The apostle of violeace would have you believe that 110\hing is right with America, and everything is wrong. They · would move our political pro- cess out of the Jaw, out of the legislatw·es aad into the street..~. "They would substitute vio- lence for voting and would re- placE' institutions with anarchy. '"They would sweep aside knowledge, order and decency. They would destroy iJI the name of liberalism and in the style of Hitler. 'NOTIUNG TO OFFER' "But those who loose riot ud violence in our cities and our colleges do not say what kind of an America they would try tt1 build in place of the one they abuse. They won't admit that they have nothing to offer in place of the system we have to- day. "The pages of history are strewn with the 11,Teckage of l!.a- tions where such meR have had Jbeirway. "The overwhelming majority of my generation knows these men represent a small minority of yours. 'VIOLENCE UNNECESSARY' "The age of dissent has taught us that violence is not necessary to achieve solutions. It cannot achieve them - it can only achieve chaos and destruction." Stans offered three sugges- tions to the students to "help you seize the future with the op- timism it deserves." First he said, "don't be dis- couraged by things as they may seem from lime to time.

"The destroyers of today will not survive any more than the witch burners of colonial New England or the book burners of Hitler's Germany. ' "The flag burners of 1970 will be held in history's conte,mpt with the cross burners of the Ku Klux Klan. "If you will deny the ex- tremists - if you will have faith in yourself and America's in- stitutions - then in the days ahead you will get the greatest , possible reward from the educa- tion you have now completed and from the great opportunities which are ahead for you." Jn a press conterence earlier in the day, Stans described the recent decrease in the, stock market as part of a controlled slowdown in the economy "for the purpose of keeping down in- flaton." . "The strength of our economy is solid," he said. "We are in line for an mcrease now and there is no recession despite what some economists say.'' Stans said although the st()Ck market fell 33 per cent, the na- tion's overall economy dropped only 2 or 3 per cen l. DENtES HE'LL QUJT Stans denied reports that he is unhappy with the Nixon admin- istration or that he was consid- ering resigning. He said. '·l am totally satisfied and J have had no diffculty in reach- 1 ing the President on any mat- ters of importance. "There has been a tendency on the part of the press to exag- gerate stories like this. It was first rumored eight months ago I was going to leave the Cabinet, and I denied it them "I have no intention of quill- mg f hone~11 don't knov. how Ihese ~lori<>s g,,t startt'd.''
