need them and need them badly.
In this day and age most per
gons in urban communities are
born in hospitals and many suc
cumb there in their last illness.
And in between trips to the hos

light plants and paved streets.
But Salem already has hospi
tals, two of them. Yes; built when

grows the number of beds avail

proportion. Here we need just
about double the number of beds
we have now.
And at present ther are classes
of patients who are not taken at
hospitals: the aged who need
nursing care, those suffering from
chronic diseases, cases of infec
tious disease. They just aren't ad

said in an accompanying state

available for this purpose by the
1949 legislature.

T-H Repeal Try
WASHINGTON, July 19-vP)-The
AFL abandoned all hope to

act at the present session of con

session, AFL leaders desribed it
as a "waste of time" to pursue
this goal.
But Joseph D. Keenan, director
of the AFL's political league, told
a news conference that the AFL
may press again for repeal when
the lawmakers return to Washing

centrate its efforts to defeat the
senators who voted for the labor
bill offered by Senator Taft as a
substitute for the Thomas-Lesin-ski

Truman
Supports
Spending
By Ernest B. Vacearo
CHICAGO, July 19 --President
Truman tonight accused So
viet Russia of making agreements
for the purpose of breaking them,
and called for a militant united
nations ' organization with enough
force to maintain the peace.
Speaking at a Shrine dinner, the
president asked if it wasn't better
to spend three, four, or five bil
lion dollars a year for peace than
"a hundred billion dollars a year
for war" in a fervent defense of
American spending.
He said United States foreign po
licy was aimed at reviving "Eu
rope and Asia for peace" and said
"we are going to make the united
nations a going and militant or
ganization for the welfare of the
world as a whole." , -U.S.
"Must Lead
Speaking extemporaneously to-
! night, Mr. Truman told fellow
j Shrinei s he had hoped that peace
i had arrived with the capitulation
j of Japan in September, 1945.
"It didn't come," he said. He did
not mention Russia by name, but
he added:
"Wc found we had an ally whose
; habit is and has been since 1917
! the making of agreements, for the
: purpose of breaking them."

Mr .Truman said he is optimistic

will Continue "Crusade"
Communist tyranny, he told
cheering thousands of Shriners and
their guests in Mammoth Soldier
field, will ultimately destroy it
self or have to "abandon its at
tempt to force other nations into
its pattern."
The president, speaking at a
great outdoor celebration of the
Diamond jubilee session of the an
cient Arabic order, nobles of the
mstic Shrine, said the I'nittd
States will continue its "gieataiu
sade for peace."
In working toward its goal of
peace, the president said, the Un-.
ited States should:
1. Halt the economic recession
in this country, and work for a
stronger economy.
"Must Not Slash Funds"
2. Avoid the "foolish course" of
slashing foreign aid funds. He said
this course would be disastrous
because it would produce "stagna
tion and despair" abroad which
could only benefit the communists.
The president said that within
its inner circle, the soviet orbit
