Truman told some 3,000 people how he did it in '48 after they had a barbe que lunch at the ranch of Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate Lyndon B. Johnson. (UPI Telephoto) Baptist Preachers Denounce Truman; Hornet Nest Stirred Waco, Tex.-(UPD-A group of Baptist preachers today de nounced former President Truman a Baptist campaign ing for a Roman Catholic for coming into the heart of the Texas Bible belt and try ing to tell them how to vote. Truman told a crowd of 4,000 Tuesday night that re ligion was the "false issue" of the presidential race and that the Constitution guaran tees that no candidate shall ever undergo a religious test. Whatever the jaunty ex- president hoped to accomplish on his two-day swing through Teaxs he has stirred up a hornet's nest on two fronts. Besides the condemnation by the Baptist clergy, the Re publican National committee Tuesday denounced him for his "go to hell" speech at San Antonio the night before. Tru man took the attitude he couldn't care less what the GOP thinks of his campaign tactics. Morton Protests Remarks Republican National Chair man Thruston B. Morton pro tested in a telegram to Sen. John F. Kennedy and asked him to disown Truman's re mark to a group of Texas Democrats that "If you vote for' Nixon, you ought to go to hell." He called Truman Ken nedy's "hatchet man" and said Truman also violated the code of fair campaign practice by Medford Tribune Regional Edition Page 2A Water Damage Sale toy 9 T a i "mi -.r- 1 .... n' i .. n. -'si.. ,v.f fa Last Thursday and Friday during the rain, a drain overflowed and ran down into our stock room, damaging several hundred pair of shoes.

When asked if he wanted to change or modify his charge that "Nixon never told the truth in his life," Truman said: "No, I won't. You tell me when he ever told the truth.1 Ministers Pais Resolution Truman told his Waco au dience that Nixon is "paying up service to religious toler ance, but he is quite willing to accept any vote that mav come nis way ny reason of re ligious Intolerance." He said the Nixon cam paign was one of "dropping a little smear here and a false inference and a half truth some other place. One of the saddest things about this whole sorry business Is that some of the activitv is car ried on through our Protest ant churches with political money contributed for this purpose to avoid paying in come tax." While Truman was speak ing, a meeting of 72 Baptist ministers passed a resolution charging that Truman "is pre suming too much if he pre sumes that it is his preroga tive or that of any one else to tell Baptists what they should do in this election or in any other realm of consci ence. The Rev. Harold E. Lind- sey, pastor of the First Bap tist Church in Waco, said the ministers came from through out central Texas. Smith Wants Snake To Remain Fish Sanctuary Pending Passage Solution; Opposes Nez Perce By United Press International Mrs. Maurine Neuberger and Elmo Smith, rivals for the U.S. Senate, appealed be fore the League of Women Voters in Portland today as their campaign headed into the final four weeks before election. The two candidates have made several joint appear ances in recent days while keeping up a busy pace of other talks. Smith Tuesday night said his Democratic opponent had not stated her stand on the high dam issue on the Snake river, where different groups Satellites at Cost Offered Private Firms Portland fUPD ' The govern ment today offered to furnish satellites at cost to private companies wltn promising plans for esiaDiisning com mercial communications sta tions in space. The offer was announced by Dr. T. Keith Glennan, di rector of the National Aero nautics and Space Administra tion, in a talk to the Science, Engineering, and New Tech nologies Committee of the Oregon Department of Plan ning and Development. Glennen also reported that NASA is planning "an early demonstration" of the fasibili ty of very light active-repeater communications satellites in orbit 3,000 to 5,600 miles above the earth. Active -re peaters are satellites with equipment to receive, store, and relay messages. Meanwhile, he said, NASA will work with private com panies planning commercial communications projects in SDace. "This means," he said, "that NASA will, to the extent of its statutory authority, make vehicles, launching and track ing facilities, and technical services available at cost to Drivate companies." He said this would be done "Drovided the private plans for the development and com mercial utilization of commu nication satellites are tech nically promising and in gen eral consonance with the re quirements of other licensing bodies. No Reason To Change Glenn said he saw no rea son to change past policy of permitting private, competing companies to finance and op erate communications systems under federal controls. It is clear, however, that such activities involving the launching of vehicles into outer space must be regulated in the public interest, even during the stages of develop ment testing," he -said.

He said Mrs. Neuberger "draws support from the peo ple who favor building of the Nez Perce dam and I can only assume that she also ap proves construction of the project." In Favor of Bill He said he was in favor of a bill which would provide the Snake river remain a fish sanctuary pending a solution to the problem of fish pass age, and that he opposed the Nez Perce Dam. Mrs. Neuberger today recommended a four - point' program "to bolster Amer ica's prestige in the world and block Communist influence in under-developed nations." Her points included co operation with prosperous Western democracies in a program of long-term devel opment loans; establishments of a Point-Four Youth Corps to train young Americans in basic technical skills neces sary to combat poverty, di sease, illiteracy and hunger in less favored countries; channeling of surplus crops into a food-for-peace program in cooperation with the Uni ted Nations, and leadership in an International Medical Year. "None of these programs would be a burden on the U.S. economy," Mrs. Neuberg er said. Smith said at Pacific Uni versity Tuesday that federal aid to education would "only add to the heavy load already carried by Oregon's overbur dened taxpayers." He said "besides increasing taxes, Oregon would get back less than it pays in under any formula so far proposed." He said he did favor federal aid to education in certain fields, such as research in education, medicine and science and other fields, and for scholar ships to individuals whose talents obviously would be of unusual value to the nation.
