Thousands Watch Tired Angk Raster-Guard, Eugene, Ore,, , Page 2 Sun., June 8, 1952 Truman Warns Of Soviet Plans For New Koreas Army Buddies Hear Old Battery Officer SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (UP) President Truman warned Saturday that Russia may be planning "new Koreas," but he said the U.S. Air Force now has 15,000 planes in op eration and in Korea can "bomb the enemy at will." The President, who came here to meet his World War I buddies of the 35th Division at their an nual reunion, took leave of them with a speech defending his air power program from the criticism of Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio) and others. Mr. Truman spoke in a small auditorium from which his re marks were broadcast nationally by radio. It was one of his most serious analyses of international affairs, and he warned that cut ting the defense budget would be "playing with fire." BEFORE HIS address, the President paraded for nearly three miles In hot, humid weather through the streets of Springfield. He headed Battery D. the outfit he commanded as an artillery cap tain in World War I. Immediately after the speech, Mr. Truman boarded his DC-B Independence to return to Wash ington. He arrived at 6:11 p.m. EDT and went directly to the White House. The President made several interpolations In his prepared , speech.. He said his senate inves- ri tigntion during World War II showed that military planes were obsolete before they could be built. "That's what we're trying to avoid now," he said. "The B-29 is as obsolete today as the cars of 103B." He added to his prepared texl that In Korea, "our planes have knocked the Russians out of the air at a rate of eight to one." HE DESCRIBED as "political hooey" the ideas of the congres sional economy bloc. Ho criticized "short-sighted po liticians" for trying to cut defense and foreign aid appropriations, and warned that "we still are in great danger." "We are not trying to build the biggest air force in the world. We are trying to build the best one backed by the industrial capacity to expand it rapidly if need be, anrt Keep it always up to date. "So far, we have been able to avert war. But we cannot ten what the Kremlin Is planning. There may be new offensives in Korea. There may be new Koreas in other parts of the globe. The Communists may even be plan ning greater attacks than we have seen up to this point." ! f (NEA Telenhoto) FUTURE ADMIRALS Midshipmen, following tradition, toss their caps at the con clusion of graduation exercises in Dahlgren Hall at the U.S. Naval Academy at An napolis, Md.

It will be a closed ses sion, except for brief opening ex ercises at. which McGranery will deliver his welcome. The attorneys will represent ev ery state, as well as Alaska, Ha waii, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Vir gin Islands and the Canal Zone. McGranary announced the ses sion recently, saying he wanted to get acquainted with his chief trial assistants in the field. The Justice Department said it will also help "to establish uniformly his poli cies concerning prosecution of vio lators of federal statutes." The conference is also one of a series of steps McGranary is tak ing toward following up the pro jected Truman administration cleanup of any misdoing in the federal government. As another step in the clean-up campaign, McGranary has asked the heads of all of the divisions in his department to submit detailed reports on the dozen cases which have been pending longest in their divisions without action. ANYONE SEEN A STRANGE DC-4? OAKLAND P) A DC-4 was reported stolen from the Oakland airport Saturday. The four-englned plane, in the Tokyo airlift service, was loaded with 11 hours fuel, the Coast Guard said. Two men were seen near the plane just before it took off about 7 a.m. Later Ed Norman, president of the United States Overseas Airlines, reported it had been stolen. He offered a S1.000 reward for return of the $750,000 plane. THE PRESIDENT said the 95 wing air force goal set in 1950 for this summer should be attained "within two months." He said present plans call for completing a 143-wing air force In two or three years. A wing has from 30 to 75 planes. The President added that the alrcratt industry now is turning! out planes at better than four I times the pre-Korean rate and ' called this a "great accomplish-: mcnt." Mr. Truman's figure of 15.000 planes in active use apparently docs not refer only to combat ready planes, but to all types.

Eisenhower said Sat urday he would go anywhere in the world at any time to talk with Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin about world peace. The prevention of another war will be the biggest issue in the coming presidential campaign, Eisenhower said at his second news conference since becoming a civ-. Ulan. He indicated he would cam. paign on that issue, despite a del uge of advice from many persons opposing a "peace, it's wonderful" theme. "I can't conceive anything more important to the American people than security and peace in this troubled world," Eisenhower said. Eisenhower answered a barrage of questions put to him by 200 newsmen during a 40 - minute press conference at the Commo dore Hotel. He emphasized the current east-west struggle and said: "We all have to work and sac rifice. There is no easy road to peace and security ... in the long run, I have the utmost faith in the action of many people rather than the genius of one man." He held his first political news conference in his home town of Abilene, Kans., and appeared for his second at 11 a.m. Saturday. Following the news conference, Eisenhower had lunch at the Co lumbia University Faculty Club with Sen. James Duff of Pennsyl vania, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., of Massachusetts, and Gen. Lucius Clay., In 18-Hour Man vs. Fish Bam CLEARWATER, Fla.

(U.R) The 10.000-ton passenger-cargo vessel "Aorangi" smashed into a concrete dock Saturday, opening a hole be low the waterline, but company officials said damage did not ap pear to be serious. The Canadian-Australasian line vessel was en route from the An tipodes with about 50 passengers and a cargo of wool and tinned pineapple. No one was reported hurt in the mishap. Cause of the' accident was not immediately deterrnined, but dockside observers said it ap peared that the engine room failed to respond to signals from the bridge. The ship was expected to pro ceed to Vancouver, B. C, later after a preliminary seaworthiness check and emergency repairs. BUMP HELPS EYES BROWNWOOD, Tex.

LE MASTER hooked the tar pon, wnicn n esumaiea weigucu 130 pounds, at 7 o'clock Friday morning on a light 20-pound test line. Throughout the day and night he fought the fish from a 16-foot outboard moiorDoat wnue every muscle of his 6 foot, 185 pound body ached. Early Saturday, he edged the tarpon, which he nicknamed "Mr. Chips," toward a grass flat in shallow water near Belle Air causeway.

Officials said the Federal Re serve Board will probably make two major changes in the so called Regulation X: 1. Scale down the minimum down payments required on home purchases, with the major benefit given to more expensive houses. 2. "Smooth out" down payment requirements on homes in the $7,000 to $12,000 bracket so that the differences within the price range will be less sharp. There is also a chance the board may remove outright the present requirement for at least 10 per cent down on houses cost ing less than $7,000, officials said. Relaxation of Regulation X has been anticipated since the board suspended all credit controls on automobiles, radios, TV sets and other consumer goods last month. e keep him from jumpin. land him," Le Master u suddenly, about, i . , liis wav to a nniuJ ? wi5i feet rieen .'
