WASHINGTON, Sept 20H'-freicent Truman today dismissed!

President Truman is really the
cie who should have been "fired."
He is chiefly responsible for the
tnixuD ; which eventuated In the
forced resignation of Secretary
Wallace. Truman asked Wallace
for his own statement on foreign
fxilicy which the latter submitted
weeks ago. He furnished the pres
ident a couo of his Madison
Kauare Garden speech, so the
president was doubly advUed o
his cabinet officer's views. Wal
lace said in his speech that Tru
man cave specific endorsement
at least to the paragraph in which
it stood. At a press conference
when reoorters pressed him Tru
man exoreesed his approval of
the Wallace speech, though later
he retreated under fire and said
htm i.DDroval extended only to the
innvilege he had of making
speech and setung forth his aftews
a privilege which is certainly
qualified by his membership in a
cabinet. Uter wnen Byrnes in
dicated his position was compro
mised by the temporizing-- solution
of a short-term muzzle for Wal
lace, the president called for Wal
lace's resignation, which the lat
ter promptly gave. For this de
bade President Truman must bear
the principal blame. In a govern
ment v here the head of state was
responsible to parliament the ad
ministration would have been
forced to surrender its office and
new head chosen to constitute a
cabinet. Since our country per
ates on a fixed elective term plan
Truman cannot be retired so read
ily that task remains for his par
ty or for the electorate in 1948.
This is not the first major blun
der on Truman's part. Secretary

He wrote, too. that. Wallace'

Relieved of his gag. Wallace issued a statement to the commerce

spoke only briefly, saying h
would not wish to interfere with
the Paris negotiations, but he de
clared that no policcy can succeed
unless the people "are given all
the facts."
Speech Misunderstood
In addition to his fresh warn
ing of war and criticism of pres-j
ent policy, he explained that his
Madison Square Garden speech
in New York last week, which
touched off the uproar, had been
misunderstood.
His statement then that th
United States has no more busif
ness in the political affairs o
eastern Europe than Russia has ir
American affairs was widely Int
terpreted as advocating two world
spheres of Influence.,,,
"I began talking about 'one
world' more than 15 years aeo
the ex-secretary said tonight. "I
do not believe in two worlds. We
cannot have peace except in on
world.'
Na Plans at All' I
After the broadcast, he said in
response to reporters questions
that he had no plans for any
speaking engagement and "no
plans at all" for his future except
'hat he expected to remain w
Washington. i
Asked whether he was open to
invitations from the PAC or any
other group for speeches, the
secretary hesitated and then said
"I very much question the wisdom
of stirring up any controversy
rignt now." f
A reporter asked whether he
considered himself free from the
temporary silence pledge which he
had previously accepted.
"From the standpoint of any
thing literal, I am free," he re
plied. "I haven't thought through
it yet to figure out the moral ob
ligation."
To Continue Fight
Wallace, upon being asked by
the president to leave the cabinet.
submitted his resignation In a one
paragraph letter addressed to
"Dear Harry." It too declared that
"I shall continue to fight for
peace," and expressed confidence
that you will approve and will
join me in tnat great endeavor.
Mr. Truman said Drivate in
dividuals may "disagree freely and
publicly on any question, includ
ing that of foreign policy," But as
for government officials, he laid
down the law:
"No change In our foreign pol
icy is contemplated. No member
of the executive branch of the
government will make any public
statement as to foreign policy
which is In conflict with our es
tablished foreign policy. Any pub
lic statement on foreign policy
shall be cleared with the depart
ment of state. In case of disagree
ment, the matter will be referred
to me."
Undersecretary Alfred Schind
ler, now on the west coast, will
be in charge of the department
temporarily.

Suit Seeks to Enjoin City from
Obtaining Water from Santiam
A suit seeking to enjoin Salem
fromi obtaining its city water
supply from the North Santiam
river is on file In Marion county
circuit court today.
Brought by Gardner Bennett,
oDersitor of the Stayton Power
Canal, the suit charges the Salem
water commission with encroach
ing upon Bennett's Tights to 812
"second feet" of water right, with
established priority over the Sa
lem water right or . ZZ "second
feet."
The suit was threatened a
month ago in a communication
from Bennett to the Salem water
commission. The commission is
represented by Carson and Car
son. .
Despite Bennett's claim that
the city at times uses more than
22 cubic feet per second and at
times draws its water share when
the river is too low to provide
more than the Bennett share, the
water commission at the time of
Bennett's original letter express
ed doubts Unit the Stayton ope-1
rator used at. any time the full 1
812 feet or that the Salem te
qulrement was ever more than
22 feet.
The state of OregcIlV and Ore
gon Pulp and Paper Co. ' have
priority water rights over the
Bennett interest. The paper com
pany already has offered to sell
the city enough of its water right
to provide the city water supply
should an injunction stop the
city's water intake
Bennett's suit arks a mandatory
Injunction requiring that waters
be divided at the diversion point
in such- mariner j that headgatea
shut off the city water supply
whenever water is insufficient to
fill the Bennett quota.
Bennett alleges that a Marion
county circuit court decree of
Feb. 1 ,1945. fixed the Bennett
water right according to a land
and .water agreement dating bark
to 1866 and the Kalem city rights
as of a 1923 agreement. Bennett
states he uses water for manu
facturing purporen in Hweiing j
the Stayton city water turbine
