Truman Blames Eisenhower for Battleship Site Independence, Mo. - (UPP Former President Harry S. Truman Tuesday blamed for mer President Dwight D. Ei senhower for anchoring the battleship Missouri, on whose decks the Japanese surrender was signed, in the Bremerton, Wash., Navy Yard. Truman, who advocates moving the historic ship, an swered Rep. Thomas M. Pelly (R-Wash.), who earlier denied Eisenhower's resp onsibility for the Bremerton anchorage. "He (Eisenhower) was commander-in-chief and you know and I know that no one else but the commander-in-chief was responsible," Truman said. The Missouri rides, at an chor at the' Navy yard here despite recent controversies over proposals to move the historic battleship to San Francisco, New Orleans, St. Louis or some large Atlantic Coast cily. In a letter to the Seattle Post Intelligencer Monday, Truman indicated strongly this Pugct Sound NaVy city was not the place for the "Mighty Mo." "I don't want to appear too persistent in this matter but it seems to . me that if the former President Dwight D. Eisenhower wanted to place it in a closet he couldn't have found a better place than the Bremerton Navy Yard,'- Tru man wrote. u seems to me- mat me battleship Missouri has been nut as farm nwav frnm thi public to sec as it could pos sibly be," the former presi dent wrote. "It should be some place where it could be seen by the most people.. The best place, it sjoems to me, for the battleship to be is either in Brooklyn Navy Yard, the Norfolk Navy Yard or in a place in the San Francisco Harbor." Truman said he would pre fer the Brooklyn Navy Yard to San Francisco because the Missouri's history started there. The . Missouri was launched at tile Brooklyn yard Jan. 28, 1944, and was christened by Truman's daughter, Margaret, when he was a U.S. senator. -' ', New York Newspaper Strike Could Affect Entire Industry of Printing By H.

The public has suf fered in many ways. The re sults are being watched across the country. Life-and-Death Balila. Intensity of feeling, union rivalry, prestige of age and skill, and the long, creeping shadow of automation are in volved In the fight. "Facing one of the most crucial tests in its 112-year history, our local is now en gaged in a life-and-death bat tle with the Publishers As sociation of New York City . . ." thus begins the current official bulletin of Local No. 6 of the International Typo graphical Union. The publishers say, in an advertisement: "The news papers of New York City, are faced with a question of sur vival. A settlement of the strike now going on must be one that permits them to stay in business ... to meet their responsibilities to the com munity and to preserve the jobs of all their 20,000 em ployees." Behind Editorial Workers . There matters stand. The union of printers, once the industry's aristocrat, seems bitterly determined to regain its place in the sun-. In recent years a union of editorial workers has forged ahead of pension it in wages, hours, and vacations. The publishers have said that going beyond the area of their final offer "would surely put some papers out of busi ness." They offered a S9.20 weekly package increase over two years which if applied to all craft unions involved, would cost $9 million in its second year. They said the package the printers proposed 15 minutes before the strike amounted to $38 weekly per man - and when applied to all unions would increase an nual costs $40 million on the nine papers affected. The strike was culled at 2 a.m. Dec. 8 by Local 6, and 17 days later it set a strike- Tax Collections Up Five Per Cent Over Last Year Salcm-UIPD-State tax col lections for the first half of the curent fiscal year in creased five per cent over the previous year, the State Tax Commission said Tuesday.

It is the only strike called by the printers in the 65-year history of the New York Publishers Associ ation. Founded by Greeley The local was founded in 1850 by Horace Greeley. The last strike it had called here prior to this one was 79 years ago. It is the biggest local, by far, of the ITU, which is the oldest trade union in the United States and the princi pal union in the printing trades. The printers' biggest job . are setting type - punch ing the keys of a machine that casts lines of type; and' make up - the job of putting the type into forms. Local 6 has about 3. 700 men in daily newspapers and about 6.000 in the so-called "book and job" shops which do all other types of commercial printing - from magazines, business forms, and financial prospectuses to labels telling you to shake- well - before using, and the Holy Bible. Abput 2,900 of these men are on strike. The publishers say the shutdown will last until the union reduces its de mands. Both sides say their final proposal was made as a basis for negotiations - not as an inflexible demand. Each accuses the other of Tcfusing to negotiate further. Nxt: A personality behind the strike.

Mclvin Barnes has pro posed salary hikes for Port land teachers. He told the school board (here has been no basic change In salaries for the past two years and that is was brcoin ina increasingly difficult to recruit "teachers of good qual-1 ity."

Present scale Is $4,800. sons must now be kept in mind by physieians who study the usually old patients, and then assume that their trou ble Is due to a shrinking up of their sex glands. Because of this idea, the usual treat ment has been with male and female sex hormones. I am sorry to say I haven t seen any striking results obtained from the giving of such hor mones, or from the giving of calcium and vitamin D, which helps the body to utilize cal cium. I have often been impressed with the fact that when a woman's spine began to cave in because of osteoporosis. she was 60 or 70 or 80, not 50, as she rliould have been if the disease were due to the recent shrinking up of her ovaries. I just could not blame a very old woman's osteoporosis on her meno pause of perhaps 30 years be fore. I can rcmcmbor that when a good friend of mine, the great surgeon Dr. Rudqlf Matas, suffered a marked caving in of his spine, he was 90. The question is, why did the lime salts go out of his bones at that time of his life? Why also should the lime have gone out in the case' of the woman of 27, whose case was recently reported by Drs. Hall and Kennedy? In 1958, Dr. W. P. U. Jack son made a careful study of "idiopathic osteoporosis"; he considered all the proposed theories in regard to the dis ease and concluded that none of them has proven to be sat isfactory, v With lime, the patients tend to show a slow but gradual Improvement. Usual ly they are glvci cr hor mones, lime salts and vitamin D. Dr. Mark B. Coventry of the Mayo Clinic recently ad vi.cd proper bracing of the back; sleeping on a firm bed; a diet adequate in proteins, minerals and vitamins; avoid ance of heavy lifting, and oc casionally, hormones.
