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."

deliver his welcome.
The attorneys will represent ev

McGranary announced the ses

assistants in the field. The Justice

lators of federal statutes."
The conference is also one of a

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.

Ike Says Aim
Is to Stop War
NEW YORK (U.R) Gen.
Dwight D. 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.,

Cargo Vessel
Smashes Dock
VICTORIA, B. C. (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.

Home Credit
To Be Eased
WASHINGTON (U.R) The gov
ernment is expected early next
week to relax its last major credit
control the regulation governing
down payments and mortgages on
homes.
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.
