IKE General Backs Prompt Action In Korean War 'Blunders' Blamed For Bringing War KANSAS CITY, Kas. (AP) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said Thursday this country might face much more serious trouble now if it had not "re acted" to the 1950 Communist attack on South Korea.

Adlai E. Stevenson must run for president on the record of the Roosevelt and Truman administrations.

NO COMMENT Mr. Truman had no comment on a recent statement by Sen. John J. Sparkman of Alabama, Democratic vice presidential nom inee, that the steel strike had been mishandled throughout.

REPUBLICANS WRONG Mr. Truman refused comment on Republican presidential nomi nee Dwight D. Eisenhower's speech at Boise, Idaho, Wednes day. The President said he hadn't read it.

Mr. Truman said all the Repub lican political stands are wrong, that he and the Democrats were right and that he is going to prove it when he starts campaigning, TRUMAN NO TARGET He said he knows exactly what the Republicans are going to say in their campaigning.

German Socialist, Foe of Reds, Dies BONN, Germany fP) The strongest foe of West German re armament and alignment with the West, Socialist chief Dr. Kurt Schumacher, died here last night. He was 56. The fervent leader second only to Chancellor Konrad Adenauer as a political force in postwar Germany succumbed to a blood circulation ailment. A cripple with only one arm and one leg, he had been failing ever since his health was ruined in Nazi concentration camps. Quiet, soft-spoken Socialist Par ty Vice Chairman Erich Ollen hauer is slated to inherit Schu macher's party leadership. Ollen hauer is expected, however, to keep pushing the Socialists on the same nationalistic course opposed to communism on the one hand and European federalism and common defense on the other. The son of a Prussian official, Schumacher studied law and the labor movement and entered poll tics as editor of a provincial Social Democratic paper, His life was a stubborn battle against chronie ill health and political enemies.

John Sparkman of Ala bama, the national party nomi nees, although members said they were not necessarily endorsing them and certainly were not en dorsing the party platform. A top party platform leader who asked not to be identified said the action gave the nominees a seat in the balcony instead of the front row of the party." Members snuffed out a "split ticket" move by a 58-32 vote. Committee Vice Chairman W. ,1. Erikson of New Orleans termed the final decision a big Stevenson victory because "it pledges our electors to the ticket." In the past, the committee usually has not pledged its elec tors.

WASHINGTON (U.R) President Truman refused comment Thurs day on Swedish newspaper charges that, secret service agents guarding his daughter Margaret had roughed up Swedish citizens. But he defended secret service agents as being always right. Mr. Truman replied no when asked at a news conference if he had any comment on the Swedish incident. He also said in reply to a ques tion that he is not making any special investigation of the mat ter, but that he is reading all the reports as they come in. Asked if the three secret service agents accompanying his daugh ter on her European tour had been given any new instructions, Mr. Truman said no.
