Among other things, the amend

Philippines Face Return
Smash From Typhoon
MANILA UP) The death
toll from a typhoon which swept
across the central Philippines Mon
day rose to 569 as the same storm
situation, to show that U:e vast ma
jority of government employes do
their duty and to see that the hon
est employes are not smeared by
the actions ol the others.
With an apparent air of confi
dence, the President said he does
not expect the recent wave of scan
dal to be an issue in the 1952 presi
dential campaign.
A similar statement was made
Tuesday by McKinney. Republicans
promptly retorted to Mcitinney
that it was now an issue and would
continue to be.
Press Critics Rapptd
Mr. Truman said this matter will
be cleared up long before the cam
paign gets under way, just as the
communism - in - government issue
has, in his belief, been disposed of
by firm administration action.
The President took a broad swing
at his newsoarjer critics by saying
McKinney suits him down to the
ground as national chairman and
he doesn't pull the rug from under
people who please him just be
cause the newspapers don't like
him.
Asked about a demand by Rep.
Byrnes (R-Wis) that McGrath be
fired on the ground that he has
shown no zeal for a governmental
cleanup, the President said he
doubts if there's a single member
of his cabinet that some congress
man or other . doesn't want fired.
