April 28, 193S Truman Refers to Attorney General as "lern lungler' in Ghieago Talk Ex-President Departs From Prepared Text : Chicago U.R) Former Presi dent Harry S. Truman followed up on an address about , civil rights last night by referring to Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr., without mentioning him by name, as a "dern bungler," the Chicago Sun-Times reported. : Mr. Truman previously had departed from the text of his prepared address to say that it was the attorney general s duty to "preserve the Bill of Rights as well as protect the rights of the people." 'Dern Bungler ; The former President spoke before the Chicago Decalogue Society of Lawyers, which pre sented him -its 1954 Award of Merit, and on the way out of a hotel with Justice William O. Douglas of the Supreme Court, he started to make some refer ence to his "blowing up," then added "It's just that we've got such a dern bungler in the at torney general's office." , In a speech ' on civil rights, Mr. Truman said "It is the duty of the attorney general of . the united States, who has sworn just as I did when I took the oath of office, to preserve the Bill of Rights as well as to pro tect the rights of the people. Protection for Citizens "The Bill of Rights is just as important as the Constitution itself." Mr. Truman made the off the cuff remarks immediately after saying "recent history has dem onstrated ... that unless citi zens have rights against - the government, no one can be safe or secure."
