"If thev loll Into the hands of

Once during the question and

up at a questioner who wanted to
know his relations with Alger Hiss,
former state department official
now In prison for perjury.
The questioner asked why Elsen
hower had Joined an organization
headed by Hiss, who was accused
of passing government secrets to a
pre-war Soviet spv ring.
"What's that?" snapped the gen

his head toward the questioner,

Sneak Clear
EUGENE Ml The general
alarm siren sounded In Eugene
early Saturday and second., later
a huge blast shattered hall of the
university ol Oregon's concrete
"O" on a hill overlooking Eugene.
Police said they were looking
for three Oregon State College stu
dents known to have been In
EuRene Friday.
The explosion sent chunks of
concrete and rocks flying as far
as a quarter-mile, some of them
raining down on the Southern Paci-
Hc deoot.
ALARM SCREAMS
Police said it was s co-ordinated
raid by pranksters, one of them
sneektng into a standby power
plant to touch off the general alarm
siren located there. 'The plant Is
a mile trom stmner's Butte, where
the "O" wag situated.
Workmen saw man run out
of the plant after the siren was
touched off. Seconds later the ex
plosion came from Skinner's
Butte.
The siren Is used by the fire de
partment for a general alarm, and
by civil' defense officials as an air
rald warning. Civil defense offi
cials admitted sheepishly Saturday
tnat tney slept through the 60 se
conds the ir- waa sounding.
POLICE POWER
The Drantsieia further confound

tricity to -toUtf! off their dfnamite
on' BkJnner'g Butte. The nearest
meter box on the butte happens
to be the one that supplies power
for the police radio transmitter.
When ihe pranksters tapped the
line, uiey threw tne transmitter
off the air for an hour.
State Policeman Carl Anderson,
who lives at the base of the butte,
was awakened by the blast at
3:45 a. and by the rocks raining
down. He called in. but by the time
he and Eugene police got to the
scene the pranksters were gone.
Eugene police said three Oregon
State College students had been
arrested early Friday and charged
with twins' minors In possession
of alcohol. They later were re
leased.
Police began seeking them after
talking with Corvallis police, who
said Corvallis also had been
troubled by mysterious blasts re
cenlv. Eugene police recalled that
much dynamite was stolen from a
construction company here three
weeks ago. A mystery blast at
that time left a three-loot crater
in the university's Hayward Field.

SPRINGFIELD. Mo. UPv-Presl-
dent Truman declared Saturday the
United States Air Force In Korea
"can bomb the enemy at will, al
most anywhere in this territory."
He coupled this obvious reply to -
Sen. Taft and other critics of ad
ministration air policy with the de
claration that "short-sighted poli
ticians'' are "playing with fire"
by slashing defense appropriations
while Russia may be plotting "new
Koreas in other parts of the
globe."
in a major address to the annual
convention of the 36th Division
with which he served in World War
One, Truman emphasized "the cold
fact that we are still In danger" -from
Russia and his point that talk
that our Air Force in Korea is
"at the mercy of Russian-made
enemy planes" Just "isn't true at
an."
TAFT 8TORT
Taft. candidate for the Republi
can presidential nomination, said
in a talk several days ago that our
planes "are outnumbered four to
one; our ground forces two to one"
and that administration neglect has
left us with about 6,000 planes while
Stalin has 30,000 In organized com
bat groups and is building them
"faster than we are."
Among other things, the Presi
dent said Saturday that the United
Slates has nearly 15,000 planes "in
active use."
The President struck back at con
gressional opponents who forced a
reduction of from about 51 billion
to 46 billion dollars In bis miltary
recommendatons and a cut of his
foreign military and economic aid
program from 67,900,000,000 to 66,-
447,70,750.
"We can not tell what the Krem
lin is planning. There may be new
offensives in Korea. There may be
new Koreas in other parts of the
globe. The Communists may even
be planning greater attacks man
we hare seen up to this point. We
do not know. We can not be sure.
"There is no Justification for
slashing appropriations for defense
or for aid to our allies. But that Is
exactly what a group of short
sighted politicians are trying to do.
WRONG TIME
"This is not the year to play
around with meat axes in the field
of national security."
To "set the record -etMlgMY he
said: -
"There had been a terrible
amount of misinformation about
our situation in the air over Korea.
To' hear some neoole talk, you
would think we were completely
outclassed over there and at the
mercy of the Russian made enemy
air torce.
"Now, of course, that Isnt true
at all. Here are the facts. We have
supremacy over most of North Ko
rea. That means we can bomb the
enemy at will, almost anywhere
in his territory.
"At the northern border on the
Yalu River, we do not have su
premacy, but we do have clear
superiority in air power which
means we can reach our objec
tives, even though we have to fight
of: opposition." . .
