Using Uoubletaik
En Route With President Tru
man, Sept. 22 UP! President Tru
man today threw the critical label
of "double talk"- at campaign
statements of his republican op
position. i .
Truman made the charge as he
campaigned across Nevada and
into California, preaching his fa
orite doctrine that the GOP
works for "selfish interests."
At Sparks, Nev., the president
spoke to a town square audience
estimated by Police chief Harry
uuerin at z.ouu persons.
"Everybody knows where
stand you don't hear any double
talk irom me. i m either lor
thing or against it.
"I hope you can find out what
the other people stand for, but
I'm afraid you won't for a long,
long time."
After speaking at Sparks, 'the
president drove to Keno with Gov
Vail Pittman, Sen. Pat McCarran
and Walter Baring, democratic
candidate for Nevada's one se"at in
the house. Baring is opposing the
republican Incumbent, Charles H
Russell, and his candidacy was
endorsed by the president as he
toured Nevada.
The president was putting new
steam into his election swing,
now that the republican opposl-
tion has started trading oratorical
blows with him in a running
fight across the west.

The driver of the truck, a Consolidated rig, was Jack R.
Grissey, who said the Engle car, heading south, suddenly
swerved over to the wrong side of the road and continued
directly ahead to the point of impact. Grissey said he applied
his brakes when he saw that af

Power Control Over German Capital
Florida Dikes
Hold Up Under
Storm .Waves
Miami, Fla.. Sept. 22 (IP A
power-packed hurricane howled
over the fertile farmlands of
south-central Florida today, kick
ing up a five and a half foot tide
on Lake Okeechobee at the front
door of a cluster of dike-protected
towns.
The levees built by the U. S.
army engineers after a disastrous
hurricane-provoked flood that
took 2,000 lives in the vicinity
just 20 years ago held this time.
The army engineers at Clewls
ton, one of the farming towns
that dot the Okeechobee lake
shore, said the storm center pass
ed near the lake harbor about
7 a.m. EST.
The hurricane slammed against
the Florida mainland at Ever
glades City last night with winds
of 125 miles an hour.
The hurricane knifed across
the open waters of Okeechobee,
banking a towering wave against
the west shore levees that pro
tect one of the nation's richest
vegetable belts.
. Little Danger
Engineer Albert Broadfoot said,
however, there was no immediate
danger of the strong dikes break
ing or of the winds whipping the
water over the top. He said there
was "little danger" thus far.
, Tflie weather bureau here con
finked In an 8:30 a.m. EST ad-
fvlsdry that the storm center had
passed "very close" to Clewis-
ton. It said the center was over
the lake, moving noith-northeast
at aoout nine miles per hour.
Highest winds, the advisory said,
were aoout luu miles an hour.
The storm was expected to con
tlnue its northeasterly movement
ano pass "very close" to Mel
bourne about 6 p.m. today. It
should move over the oDen At
lantic ocean some three hours la
ter at Merrlt's island, the ad
visory said.
Precautions Continued
Although the storm i3 diminish
ing somewhat in Its overland
course, It will refain hurricane
force and all precautions in the
area should be continued, the
advisory said
water was standing in the
streets at' Clewlston and a few
trees were bowled over as winds
clocked at 88 miles per hour
whirled over the area.
In the miehtv storm's whin.
ing path lay thousands of acres
of vegetables and sugar cane.
iwo persons were killed at
Miami on the fringes of the hur
ricane yesterday, but the famed
winter playground apparently
was to oe spared tne run force

Red Delegate
Makes Blast
At Opposition
Paris, Sept. 22 (IP) The western
big three tonight delivered a note
to Russia asking the Soviets in
effect whether or not they ac
cepted four-power control of Ber
lin. .
The new western approach to
the Soviets reversed a reported
conclusion that the big three
could not do business with Rus
sia on the Berlin crisis, and had
decided to refer the matter to the
United Nations. .
The plan to call Russian before
the court of world opinion in the
UN was reported earlier today to
have been delayed by French in
sistence on making one more try
at getting the Berlin blockade lift
ed by negotiation.
Conflict Brought Up
Russia brought the east-west
conflict Into the open at the Unit
ed Nations meeting when Andrei
Vishinsky accused "certain dele
gations" of trying to foment dis
unity in the UN ranks.
The soviet delegate's expected
blast at the western powers came
after the west outvoted the east
in organizational elections. The
attack was made in connection
with a soviet effort to take off the
agenda a proposal to admit Italy
and five other countries to the
UN, despite a Russian veto.
Waving his arms and pointing -repeatedly
at -Jose Arce, delegate
from - Argentine, who offered the
proposal, Vishlnskv argued that it
would violate the UN charter.
"But some nations do not seem
to be interested any longer in go
ing by the charter." he said. "Per
haps they do not want a United
Nations, but a disunited nations.
That is the conclusion one must
draw from the activities of cer
tain delegations."
Vishlnskv even dropped what
could be taken as a long range
hint that Russia might not al
ways be a member of the UN. He
implied that he felt there was a
move afoot to drive the Russians
out.'-.", -. ("''' ..-.
Utah Senator
Charges Krug
Washington, Sept. 22 (IP) Sen.
Arthur V. Watkin3, R., Utah, to
day charged Interior secretary
J. A. Krug with "manipulating'
reclamation funds to safeguard
jobs of the "politically-pegged
swivel boys in Washington."
Watklns said he had learned
that the department's plan to dis
miss 1,000 reclamation bureau
workers would not affect the
Washington office but only those
"actually accomplishing reclama
tion In the field." -
"Such an Irresponsible act, he
said, "would seriously Impede
reclamation projects in the west
and certainly would demand an
accounting to congress.
"Secretury Krug's reclamation
bureau will receive this year
$100,000,000 more than it got in "
fiscal 1948 appropriations. Un
less he has dissipated those funds
already by unwise administration,
the secretary should have ample
credits to carry on reclamation." ,
Watklns said this was not the
first time that "congress has
brought to light the manipula
tion of reclamation funds."
