ToMother After
Emergency Call
Setback Is Suffered
In Night; Condition
Called Very Serious
BY the Associated Press

A sudden turn for the worse
In the condition of his 94-year-
old mother sent President Tru-
man flying homeward to Grand
view, Mo-, today.
Acting swiftly after receiving a
telephone call, Mr.. Truman boarded
his private plane and took of at
8.45 am. He was due in Grand
view shortly after noon.
Brig. Gen. Wallace Graham, the
Presidents personal physician, who
has been attending Mrs. Truman,
said her condition was very
serious"
"She is suffering from a tired
heart" Gen. Graham said in Grand
view. "Her condition at. all times
has been serious, but she has been
getting along well. We have got her
out of bed and into a rocking chair
every day.
Heart Is Extremely Weak"
"I had hopes of getting her to
walk, but her heart is extremely
weak"
Mrs. Truman fractured hip in a
fall at her home last February.
The fracture had healed to the
point where the cast was removed
a week ago. It was the third frac-
ture Mrs. Truman had suffered in
recent years. A hip and shoulder
were broken in previous falls.
Despite he7 advanced years she
recovered from these injuries and
was able to move around the house
until she fell last February while
preparing to retire.
Miss Mary Jane Truman, sister OF
the President, said Mother is rest
ing quite comfortably now. but she
is quite i'll SO I decided to call the
President to Grandview."
Was Nearly Able to Walk.
Gen Graham said Mrs. Truman's
fracture had healed to the point
where she could walk in another
few days were it not for the weak
ened condition of her heart.
He described her injury as an
Inter and extracapsular fracture OF
the left hip"
"At first she had a little difficulty
with her liver and she had some
temperature, but the physicians
were able to cope with those con-
ditions. Now the only complication
is her heart"
Mr.. Truman was accompanied on
the fight by Charles G. Ross and
Matthew Connolly, secretaries.
He decided to fly out after receiy-
ing word by telephone at 6:15 am.
that her condition was becoming
worse.
Visited on Mothers Day.
Announcement of the Presidents
departure was made in a call to the
news services by Eben Ayers, assist
ant White House press secretary.
He said arrangements were made
for the President to stay at the
Muehlebach Hotel in Kansas City,
indicating he might remain there
some time, driving back and forth
to Grandview.
Only last Sunday Mr.. Truman flew
out to visit his mother and reassure
himself that she was recovering
satisfactorily from her injury.
Gen. Graham told reporters then
that Mrs. Truman was progressing
satisfactorily and advised the Presi-
dent he could return to Washington
the same day. which he did.

Included among the other measures
already prepared, are amendments
which would:

,. Authorize clerks of counties
bordering on the Potomac river to

3. Prohibit employees of tenants or

BY way of compensation for the
proposed measure prohibiting Sunday

bill that would allow skeet shooting
on Sundays.
Measure Is Explained
The measure to make hunting il
legal on Sundays is mainly a con

 In that same week delegate Gromyko twice. vetoed security council efforts to stop the unde- clared war Russia is waging against Greece through Balkan satellites. Russia insists that the LIN Balkan Investigating commis- sion has been liquidated by her ve- to, though clearly only the Secur- ity council which created it can disband the commission.
 These provocative moves fol- lowed hard upon Moscow's propa- ganda offensive to wreck the Inter- American Defense Conference in Brazil, and American-Russian pol , icy clashes in Austria, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary.
 In these three countries the issue i is the right of representative gov ernment and civil liberties guar anteed by Russia in the Yalta pact and the peace treaties. In all these cases-as earlier in Poland, Yugo- slavia and elsewhere-Reds main tain a minority dictatorship.
 Austria's western provinces are still safe for the moment, thanks to British-American military oc- cupation; but Russia in her zone is breaking the Potsdam agreement, and blocking a peace treaty, in hope of taking over Austria.
 Following the latest disputes over Korean occupation and a Japanese peace treaty, the State Department on August P, in- voked the Russo-Chinese agree ment of l945 to try to force Russia to reopen the North China port of Dairen to international commerce as pledged.
 Russia in a note also tried to pre- vent the American-British-F French conference on West Germany's production. Washington and Lon don grimly decided to open that London meeting, as scheduled, re- gardless of Russia.
 The issue there is whether Rus sia can continue to force disinte- grafton and chaos by blocking Ruhr coal and steel production, upon which European recovery is dependent. For two years she has been creating revolutionary condi- tions by sabotaging the Potsdam | pact for German economic unity. [ Now the question is whether the Western powers will continue to ; be paralyzed by the Potsdam pact which Moscow scrapped two years ago. Or will they accept as a fact the division of Germany long since created by Russia, and themselves hasten to get West German pro- I duction going? Unless the rich Ruhr can be converted from an American subsidized liability into an asset for Europe, the chances o6 the Marshall seH-help plan for Europe are nil. That goes for Brit ish recovery. too.
