Truman Writes Nastily Of Five State Campaigns WASHINGTON (JP Pres. ident Truman's assertion that elec tion campaigns in five states were "as low as I've ever seen" quick ened investigations underway to day by the senate campaign com mittee. Chairman Gillette (D Iowa) told a reporter inquiries already have been made in Utah and North Carolina, two states men tioned by the President in a Dec. 7 letter made public last night by Rep. Hebert (U-I.a). The Iowa senator said that Lou isiana, Illinois and Indiana the 01B,r ,tltet the President cited ,rf, bint covered in a national! wide survey by the committee of campaign costs and circulation of "defamatory" literature. Hebert, a frequent critic of ad- mini.,tr,t'jon policies, had written the President suggesting Mr. Tru man set aside a Sunday before Christmas and call on Hhe people tto pray in their churches for guidance of the nation in "the Gethsemane of our existence." Mr. Truman replied by sending Hebert a copy of his Thanksgiving proclamation, saying he believed "that effectively answers your sug gestion." Then, in the latest of a series of letters evidently dashed off i n a moment of annoyance, Mr. Tru man added: "I am extremely sorry that the sentimenls expressed in your let- l.r mmm nnl thiuiahl nf hfnrm Carolina. Illinois and Indiana was ; manner that was "T0w ,, I i aer-n and " been in this game since 1906. Hebert wrote Mr. Truman in re- ply that ha was "stunned," and he added.

The achlress, to be delivered over all networks at 7 or 7:30 p.m. (PST), is expected to include, or follow up, a declaration of national emergency. Mr. Truman will outline some of the sacrifices to be asked of the American people and the steps the administraiion plans because of the threat of all-out war. These steps will include nrice and wage controls as soon as nec essary machinery can be set up. governor Thomas K. Dewey of New York will urge President Tru man tomorrow night to take emer gency action to gird the nation for the World crisis. Dewey will recommend in a speech moves to increase the na tion's armetl strength and to con vert industry to wartime produc tion. The former republican president ial nominee also will discuss sacri fices he believes the people must mike "in higher taxes and con trols" if America is to remain strong and free. The speech will be broadcast. Dewey said last week that "this moment is not the time for further criticism" of the Truman admin istration's Far Fast policies. In the past, Dewey has been a frequent. sharp critic of the administration's China policy. The government went ahead, meanwhile, with controls. An early cut in the amounts of tin and oiher materials available tor making cans to package food, drink, oil and othr products was promised Tuesday by the National Production Authority (NPA).

The government will at tempt to allocate new supplies among steej companies. Some wi continue to go into government stockpiles. BELATED LEARNING HIGHLANDS, N. J. IP) Who said adults never learn?

Va. -UP) A former United States ambas sador to Great Britain says "Rus sia will have us in a state of emer gency by the end of this week and yet has not lost a man, moved foot or fired a shot. Joseph P. Kennedy made the as sertion here Tuesday during a question-and-answer period which followed a talk in which he de clared our foreign policy is "sui cidal' and mane us no loin weather friends." America's foreign policy also has solidified communism, reduced our economic strength, failed to provide a strong hemispheric de fense and is "politically and mor ally a bankrupt policy," Kennedy asserted. Kennedy said that the United Slates should get out o' Korea and any other place in Asia where we cannot hope to nolo our neiense. In addition, he said, we should stop wasting our resources in an at tempt to hold either the Elbe or Kmne river lines in r.uropr. In Korea. Kennedy said, "we are fighting Ihe fourth greatest war in our history. What have we in re turn for this etlort? rrienasi we have far fewer friends than we had i in 1945 . . ." "Where Is there In all Europe any butler against a massed Rus sikn onslaught?" he asked. "Worse than this, where is there an de termination to create such bui ld!" U.S. Defense Said Of 'Chicken Wire' WASHINGTON UP Sen ator Lyndon C. Johnson ID Ten), chairman of a senate armed "Service preparedness subcommit tee, told the Senate Tuesday tnai thua far the United States has suc ceeded in throwing up only "a chicken wire defense instead of a wall of armed might." Criticising what he called a wait-and-see policy in effect since the start of the Korean war, John son told his colleagues: "We are at war not only with Communist China hut with all the resources . . . behind the Iron Curtain. Our primary and Im mediate goal Is survival. We are not getting ready for war, but all our efforts seemingly are directed at staying out of a war we are already in." Asserting that "the people can not rally around a vacuum," John son said there must he an nl to "the circle of confusion" in the military establishment, state de partment and other agencies. He called for a national policy and a national strategy for full mobilization of all available man power and resources.

Across the peninsula in the west, the bulk of the Allied Eighth army was dug in on a new detense line south of parallel 38 the old border between North and South Korea. In HunTnam, many Korean ci vilians being left behind were panic stricken. As the Chinese Reds swarmed down toward the beachhead from snow-covered hills, picked troops from five Allied divisions mounted a strong guard. The defense per imeter stretched for a radius of 14 miles around the port, pro tecting Hungnam and its twin city of Hamnung six miles inland. The beachhead bristled with al lied artillery, mortars and tank guns. Warships of the U. N. fleet slid along the Sea of Japan coastal waters, hulling steel into the Red Chinese concentrations. Marine Corsairs, navy Panther jets and other Allied planes circled overhead, alert for any Chinese Red aircraft or to counterattack an attempted annihilating climax to the smashing successes rolled up by Chinese ground forces since lale November.

Boyle Jr. called on the Rcpublicaa party Tuesday to declare a mora torium on partisan politics during; the present international crisis. Boyle told guests at a SlOO-a plato dinner of the Democratic national committee that his party has no desire for partisan political gain "as we join hands with loyal Re publicans to give Amend its great est strength." "When the security of this na. tion at stake, there ia no time for partisan politics." he sanl. "Pa triotism must come before politics and before profits." Royle castigated a small group without naming anyone who. he asserted, "put partisan advantage ahead of the safety of their country" and "would divide our country in time of peril." Boyle said America is engaged in a "struggle for the world." This fight, he said, "is a contest to the finish because the triumph of bru tal aggression woulll spell the doom of freedom." Sen. Herbert H. Lehman (D-NY), another speaker at the dinner, echoed Boyle's unity appeal. "With all the earnestness of my heart and soul, I call upon both the Republican party and the Dem ocratic party to forget about 19.S2 and think and act oniy in terms nf the security of our country and the peace of the world," he said. 1 Use OermonS, Japanese ' ij.s.
