Speaking at a dedication of Grand Coulee dam in Washington, he ad ded: "We will still have to face those who imagine that every progres sive action is a step down that famous last mile to Socialism." Even before the President spoke, Senr.tor Wherry R-Neb) had pre pared a statement saying Mr. Tru man was trying to "pervert Grand Coulee into a gigantic force for government management of the lives and property of the people of the northwest." "Given the facts," said Wherry, "the people will make Grand Cou lee a servant of free enterprise, and they will not be misled by honeyed words of freedom and prosperity employed by President Truman and his greedy Socialistic advisers." Senator Millikin (R-Colo) chimed in on the GOH speech-for-speech attack on the President. The Colo rado aenator said Mr. Truman was trying to ' monopolize credit for the advancement of our reclama tion programs" which, Millikin added, actually were started under Republican President Theodore Roosevelt in 1902. The President appealed at Spo kane for approval of a bill to ban job discrimination. But he sought to soften the blow for southern op ponents of the measure by adding: "We can advance the common wel fare without harming the dissent' ing minority."

In 1948, Mr. Truman's name wasn't once mentioned at the par ty's North Carolina meeting; this time the state platform praised Mr. Truman's leadership, and the mention of the President's name drew anplause. - Republicans adjourned their state convention in New Jersey yes terday after adopting this 28-word platform: "America can be saved from Communism and bankruptcy. Amrrica'a problema can be met by her great people without losa of their liberties. We dedicate our selves to that undertaking." Communism cropped up In an other political development this time among Hawaii Democrats.
