FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. April 12, 1956 Truman Accuses Eisenhower of 'Political Betrayal Do Nothing' Des Moines, la. 'U.R Former President Truman, in top "give 'em hell" form, accused Presi dent Eisenhower last night of a "do nothing" record and "politi cal betrayal." He charged the President and his aides with "a wrecking job" on the farm program, , but said the "worst mistakes of all" were in the administration"! foreign policy. Mr. Truman'i speech, deliv ered before a cheering, record breaking crowd of 1200 at a S25 a plate Democratic dinner, was reminiscent of his famed "give 'em hell" whistle stop addresses in hi 1943 presidential cam paign. Familiar Phrase He revived a familiar phrase when he said Mr. Eisenhower "deserves to be rejected by the people just as the 80th Congress was, because he is a do nothing President just as that 80th Con gress was a do nothing Congress. The ex-President's attack on his successor grew more bitter when he reviewed the farm pro gram. t He said Mr. Eisenhower has "deliberately denied" a 1952 campaign promise to maintain farm parity payment at 90 per cent. As soon as his administra tion took office, Mr. Truman said, "They began to reduce farm price supports just as fast as they could." And today he said, the President is battling "tooth and nail" a congressional attempt to extend mandatory 90 per cent supports. Mr. Truman said he didn't know whether Mr. Eisenhower planned to sign or veto the farm bill but "He would like to veto it, of course, because it is di- Error Infuriates Scotland Yardsmen London 'UR Scotland Yard wag reported furious today over; bluntly" against rectly contrary to his philosophy of reducing farm prices. If he wants to cut farm prices, Mr. Truman said, "He had bet ter go ahead and do it now, be cause next year I don't think he will be in any position to do anything about it one way or the other." "This is one of the most amaz ing records of political betrayal I have ever seen in all my years of public life," he said. Mr. Truman said he had decided to speak "plainly and the President conceived it to be a fnreien office "blunder" that I "because I resulted in publication of thmy ity-" .

The detailed outline of the fourthcoming British tour of Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulgan in and Communist Party Chief Nikita S. Khrushchev was re leased to the press two days ago. There was supposed to be in cluded with it instructions to editors saying the timetable was for their information only and not for publication. But the foreign office forgot to enclose the note when the schedule was distributed and it appeared in the press for every one, including would-be assas sins, to see.

Mr. Truman warned that "another Republican depression has started on the farms" and the effects are already being felt in towns and cities.

Purucker Piano House 111 North Central Phone 2-5702 Earth Satellite Launching To Be Later Than Hoped Washington (U.R The first U. S. Earth satellite apparently will keep its rendezvous with space later than the scientists hoped. This was disclosed in testi mony, made public today, be fore the House Military Appro priations Sub-committee. The same group heard testimony that Russia is trying to hang an artificail moon in the sky before this country does. Assistant Navy Secretary James H. Smith Jr. testified March 16 that "the first Ameri can attempt to launch the satel lite will be made in the early part of 1958." Rear Adm. Rawson Bennett, chief of Naval Research, testified that "our greatest potential enemy, the Russians, have an nounced they will have a satel lite before we do." There- was no testimony on possible Soviet progress. But Smith's statement, if events prove it correct, means the first U.S. launching will be months later than scientists originally hoped. The unprecedented artificial moon project is a major phase of this country's participation in the International Geophysical Year, a 50-nation scientific re search program which starts July 1, 1957, and closes Dec. 31, 1958. London (U.R) Russia has an estimated 20,000 "first line" military aircraft, according to British Air Secretary Nigel Burch. He told Parliament Wednesday that it was not in the public interest to break down the estimate into bombers and fighters. Sty f 2 TRAINING DISASTER Norman Alfred Wood deft) of Bay Shore, L.

General Randolph Pat Marine Corps ss s arsjss."50 personai f Plane Takes Bodies Of Marine Marchers Home for Funerals Parris Island, S.C. (U.R) A chartered airplane left this Marine base today to return to their next of kin the bodies of five young men who came here as recruits less than two months ago for their boot camp train ing. The bodies of five of the six Marine recruits who were drowned Sunday night in an un authorized "discipline" march were on the plane for the funeral flight. The body of the sixth recruit, Pvt. Thomas Curtin Hardeman, will be taken by train to Vidalia, Ga. First Stop at Washington The plane's first stop was Washington National Airport to leave the body of Pvt. Jerry L. Thomas, Alexandria, Va. From there the plane headed for New York's Idlewild Airport to leave the bodies of Pvt. Leroy' Thomp son, Brooklyn, Pvt. Donald F. O'Shea, Brooklyn, and Pvt. Nor man A. Wood, Bayshore, N.Y. The final stop was at Syra cuse, N.Y., to leave the body of Pvt. Charles F. Reilly, Clyde, N.Y. The dead were honored dur ing the morning with two me morial services in the chapel of the huge Marine training base. A Roman Catholic solemn high requiem mass was held for O'Shea, and later a Protestant service was held in the same chapel for the other five. The flag-draped caskets were accompanied by honor guards of Marines. Instructor Examined S.Sgt. Matthew C.

'Davis would be named to replace In terior Secretary Douglas Mc Kay. But they pointed ot that de spite Davis' frequent contacts 'with the White House since Mc Kay announced he would re sign, no official word or indica tion has been dropped to indicate Davis definitely is the man. Bfn Running Department The 63-year-old Nebraskan has been virtually running the de partment for seven weeks now. His increased workload and authority added to speculation that he will take over when Mc Kay departs Sunday to enter Oregon's Republican primary as a candidate for the U.S. Senate. Davis, now visiting in Canada, said before he left that he had no information that he would be named secretary. He also said he has no pending appointments with Mr. Eisenhower. Some observers believed the President might leave the post vacant until January with Davis handling the department as undersecretary. McKay resigned to enter the vsenatorial race in Oregon in an attempt to unseat Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.). But he has op position in the May 18 Republi can primary. Others Mentioned Others in the department who have been mentioned as pos sible successors to McKay are: Assistant Secretaries Fred Aan- dahl, former governor of North Dakota; Wesley d'Ewart, former congressman .from Montana; former Assistant Secretary Orme Lewis and Indian Com missioner Glenn L. Emkons. The man most mentioned for the post outside the department is former Gov. Dan Thornton, of Colorado, a friend and some times golfing partner of the President.
