Spokane, Wash., June 9 U
President Truman, campaigning
Into the Pacific northwest, today
heaped new criticism on the re'
publican congress, saying it was
the "worst" in American history.
At virtually every turn, the
chief executive, from the moment
he left his train here until he
started a motor trip to Grand
Coulee dam, hurled new barbs at
the house and senate.

throw out the republicans next

town Spokane, reiterating his ad'
vocacy of a major flood control
program on the Columbia river.
Republicans Blamed

"chairmen of key committees" in
the house and senate were block
ing his efforts to put across a
program to benefit the west. - :
"If you don't do something
about it, you don't deserve to get
anything' he said.
Continuing his battle for a dem
ocratic victory this fall, the presi
dent made his most fervent ap
peal ior votes tnat he has put to
the public on this trip.
Repeatedly, he asked the people
to. -ao sometning about tne re
publicans this fall..
Makes Statement
The president made, his obser
vation about . this being the
"worst" congress in talking to a
local reporter.
"This is the worst congress we

he said.

nuson. D.. Wash., to the center of
the city where in a broad plaza
the chief executive spoke again

tion of Wallgren, made a brief
surprise, appearance before the
national convention of the Com
munication Workers of America
(Ind.), now in session here.

very happy over the labor acts of
ne told delegates.
"Your only remedy is Novem
ber, 1948, and if you continue that
law in effect that is your fault
and not mine because I didn't
want it.
President Truman added: "I
know you are going to fix it so I
can talk back to Washington."

made in the form of an affidavit,
can be Investigated.
If It checKs out, Saulter prob
ably will receive a complete par
don. If not, he will die July 9.
Authorities appeared to believe,
however, that Barker was telling
the truth.
"I was resigned to dying and I
figured my number was up be
cause the time was getting closer
and closer," Saulter said. "From
now on I'm living on borrowed
time.
"I'm grateful for life. I don't
know Barker. I was dead drunk
at the time of the stabbing. I
didn't see anything and I don't
know what happened."
Prison officials said It was ac
tually Saulter'g mother, Mrs. Ern
est Wheat, Huntsville, who saved
him from death.

Truman Aides
Anger Wallace
Portland, June 9 IIP) Lew
Wallace, Democratic nominee for
governor of Oregon and national
Democratic committeeman, said
today he was "sick and tired" of
the way President Truman's as
sistants were handling the presi
dent's arrangements for visiting
Oregon this week.
Wallace said he was a "100 per
cent Truman man" but he vigor
ously disapproved the 'Way the
president's trip was being ar
ranged lin Oregon. . - - ; . j
' -President Truman was due to
arrive here Friday to tour flood
ed areas and confer with flood
relief officials. Wallace said:
"I have received at least three
different sets of instructions
about the manner in which the
president will be received here.
I am not criticizing the presi
dent. But I am criticizing the
clerks around him who are hand
ling his trip and who are doing
an awfully bad job.
"They'd better get a few Ore
gonlans to handle his trip for
him. Then they might get a good
job done."
Instructions Differ
Wallace said most of his var
ious instructions had come from
Oscar Chapman, undersecretary
of the interior. Each set of in
structions, he said, listed differ
ent persons who were to be in
vited aboard the president's train.
Tne titular head of the Demo
cratic party in Oregon said he had
written to William Ritchie, na
tional committeeman in Nebras
ka, who withdrew his support
from President Truman following
the president's visit In Omaha.
"But I. did not criticize the
president himself," Wallace said.
"I'm just as strong now for the
president as I was when he was
nominated for the vice-presidency
at the last Democratic conven
tion."

Arab States and Government
Of Israel Accept Count's Plan
For 4-Week Truce in Holy Land
Peace Expected fo Come to Palestine Friday
Morning; Dispatches Indicate Slackening of
Hostilities; Jews Repulse Attack on Musrar
Cairo, June 9 'iU.E) The Arab states today accepted Count .
Folke Bernadotte's proposal for a four week truce in Pal
estine, an Arab league spokesman announced, and reliable
quarters believed Israel also agreed to it.
(At Lake Success, a high United Nations official announc
ed that the government of Israel had given unconditional
acceptance to the truce proposal. The acceptance was said to
have been sent to Bernadotte.)
Bernadotte scheduled a press conference for late today
to make public the Jewish and :
Arab answers to his proposal. I ' f
All signs were that as Unit
ed Nations mediator he had
been successful in his delicate
negotiations to bring at least
temporary peace to Palestine
at 6 a.m. GMT (2 a.m. EDT)
Friday.
.The spokesman for the political
committee of the Arab league told
newsmen that the 'Arabs had ac
cepted Bernadotte's . plan, based
on his interpretation of the UN
security council's resolution call
ing for a month's truce.
Arabs Take Stand
Asked if foreign pressure had
been put on the Arab states, the
league spokesman said "no, but
we do not want to be put in the
position of aggressors."
Bernadotte received the Jewish
answer a little beyond the noon
GMT (8 a.m. EDT) deadline, pos
sibly because of delays in com
munication. Dr. Chaim Welzmann, presi
dent of Israel, said in Paris that
his government was willing to
agree to the plan for a truce be
ginning at 6 a.m. GMT (2 a.m.
EDT) Friday.
Reliable quarters reported that
Bernadotte cabled the Arab re
sponse to the United Nations se
curity council, and the Egyptian
government informed Its delegate
to tne UN, MahmudjBey Fawfy
Z ." ' Both Sides Agr reeabJo-ri:
Pending a formal announce
ment of the response by the Jews
and Arabs to the UN effort to
halt the war, all signs were that
both sides were accepting.
The first word of the Jewish
reaction to Bernadotte's ultima
tum unconditional acceptance of
his plan, or he would step out of
the picture and turn the matter
back to the UN security council
came from Weizmann.
The Israeli president was in
Paris, on his way from New York
to Tel Aviv.
Hostilities Slacken
Dispatches from Palestine re
ported a general slackening of
hostilities. Ifowever, Egyptian
bombers attacked Tel Aviv from
high altitude today, a dispatch
from the Israeli capital said.
The bombs shattered windows
in a residential street of Tel Aviv,
but no casualties were reported.
Tel Aviv also relayed word
from Israeli headquarters In Je
rusalem that the Jews repulsed a
dawn attack by the Arab legion
against the Musrar quarter of the
new city of Jerusalem, near the
Damascus gate.
More Lightning
Fires Reported
Two more lightning caused
fires showed up on the Deschutes
national forest today, but both
were under control, the forest
office reported.
Heavy lightning displays were
seen over most parts of the for
est last night and additional fires
are expected to be spotted by
lookouts.
One of the fires today was In
the Big springs area on the North
Century route, while the other
was near Fox butte on the Fort
