Republican Report
Accuses Truman and
Aides Of 'DoubIe-TaIk
By Gould Lincoln

"Double-talk" has characterized
the Truman administration, the
Republican National Committee
charged today as the President was
concluding three years in the White
House.
A 42-page documented report on
the Inconsistencies" "eontradic-
tiors" and confusion" of the ad-
ministration, made public by the
Republican Committee, covered the
divergent attitude and divergent
statements of President Truman
and his lieutenants on long list
of important issues, ranging from
prices to Palestine, and from the
Potsdam Conference to communism
and Henry Wallace.
Three years of Truman have
been q series Of broken promises
which were never intended to be
kept the committee said.
Sees Philosophy Of Crisis.
Somehow, whenever the Truman
administration has found itself In
political adversely, 1t has always
managed to have crisis on hand
to cover its incompetence" the COM
mittee continued. THE philosophy
of crisis government is natural to
the administration It is the basis
of Mr.. Truman's conception of his
office.
TT is to be hoped that Mr.. Tru-
mans latest crisis will be no worse
than those which have gone before.
Let us hope that this crisis has no
more sinister purpose than to off,
set the damage of the revolt of the
solid South and the detection of
Henry Wallace; that 1t has not been
engineered and decked out in the
thought that, as former Gov. Ellis
Arnall of Georgia thought, the
rumblings of war might pull the
President through as they did Mr.
Roosevelt in 1940.'"
The report called to the short
lived goodwill era that existed when
Mr.. Truman entered the White
House. 1t blew up quickly, for ''un-
derlying the Truman administra-
ton are the same forces of discord
and disunity that have recently pro-
duced the long expected crack-up of
the Democratic Party ITSELF" the
committee said.
Byrnes Cited As Example.
Saying that mfr. Truman talks
himself into and sometimes tries to
double-talk himself out of an equiv
ocal position" the report added that
on April II, 1945, Mr.. Truman told
press conference he had no plans
for public office for James F. Byrnes
Yet Mr.. Byrnes, in his book, Speak
ing Frankly" tells how on April "A,
three days before the press confer
ence, on their return from the
Hyde Park burial Of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Mr.. Truman asked him
to become Secretary Of State. Mr..
Byrnes accepted, and they agreed
not to announce the substitution of
Mr.. Byrnes for the then Secretary
of State, Edward r. Stettinius, jr,
until after the United Nations San
Francisco Conference.
The report also went into the
Truman-Wallace controversy over
Mr.. Wallace's Madison Square
Garden speech on foreign relations
in September, 1916, which Mr.. Tru-
man first said he indorsed, and
which later he criticised. This con-.
troversy led finally to the custer of
Mr.. Wallace as Secretary of Com
merce. g.

vitality important to us now as
never before. Without an adequate
stenographic and tipping force, the
national defense program will be
slowed down badly"
Another thing disturbing National
Defense officials is the decision of
the Public Buildings Administra-
ton not to admit any more Gov
ernment girls to Arlington Farms
dormitories. Defense officials say
it is absolutely necessary" to make
Arlington Farms available again to
newcomers to the Government.
otherwise, it will only make our
problem of recruiting these girls
more difficult than ever" an Of
ficail said. We've got to guarantee
them proper living quarters or else
they'll never come to Washington.
CASTE SYSTEM-A young lady
we know had lunch recently at
Walter Reed Hospital with friend
who is lieutenant in the Nurse
Corps there.
AS they began their meal, the
visitors fork slipped from her hand
and nearly fell to the floor.
BE careful of your fork" said
the lieutenant. Were only al
lowed one to a person at the table. ("
Later on, the visitor observed a
nurse at another table with two
forks besides her plate. There s
some one with two forks" she
good-naturedly told her companion. !"
Well" shrugged the lieutenant.
She's a captain!"

Apologies for Reds
Contribute 10 Threat
Of War, Royal Says
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Apr. 10.-Secretary
of the Army Royal said tonight
that American "apologists for Com
munists are today contributing di-
rectly to the added possibility Of a
third world war"
There is no doubt that some
Americans by their demogogic utter
ances of appeasement have been a
direct contributing factor to the ex-
pansion of truculent totalitarianism
in the east and west, he said at an
Army Day dinner here.
ITO these insincere or misguided
men must be ascribed a goodly part
of the blame for Czechoslovakia and
more recently, for the situation in
which American soldiers and Amer
lean civilians find themselves in
Berlin"
Names No Individuals.
Secretary Royal did not name
any individuals in his address.
He said that "the isolationists of
the late 30's succeeded only in prov
ing that there is no isolationism in
the world today and outlined
measures he regards as necessary
for defense.
I'm the interest of preserving the
peace-and of aiding the defense of
other free nations as we'll as Amer
lea against aggression-we must
strengthen these other nations of
the world as well as ourselves" he
said.
He said that nothing could
strengthen the free nations deter
mination to resist aggression more
than the knowledge that in the
event of world war the greatest
concentration of military firepower
would be in the hands of staunch
and loyal friends"
I'VE must demonstrate to the
whole world that we intend to be
firm in the cause of freedom and
democracy and that we have the
power to back up that f1rmness."
Bases Needed, He Says.
Among necessary defense meas
ures, Secretary Royal said, were
denial Ito any potential enemy" of
bases near America and preventing
use of more distant bases from
which suicide attacks might be
launched against America.

PAY RAISE-Prospects seem a
little better for reaching an agree
ment on Federal pay raise legisla-
ton in the Senate.
Both Chairman LANCER df the
Senate Civil Service Committee and
Senator Flanders, Republican, of
Vermont, have decided not to file
minority reports on the committees
$3.50 pay measure. Senator LANCER
felt the amount was not enough,
while Senator Flanders felt it was
too much. . ----.
Their decision not to file minority
reports helps the situation consider
ably. Minority reports would have
confused the issue and hurt the bills
chances when 1t reached the Senate
floor.
This way, some sort Of a compro-
mise can probably be reached, with
q $4O0 or $500 pay bill sent to the
Senate floor. And united committee
support probably means that it has
better chance to win the official
backing of the Senate Republican
Policy Committee.

Charges Communist Support.
The committee charged that until
recently the Truman administra-
ton had accepted and confirmed
the Roosevelt policy of supporting
Communist dictatorship, both In
Russia and In other countries.
Now when it is no longer to be
pro-Russian, but after 1t had
strengthened Russia to the position
she now holds, the Triman ad-
ministration finds it politically con-
venient to reverse ITSELF" the COM
mittee continued.
"On behalf of the United States,
and with tragic disregard to the
other nations involved, Democratic
administrations Roosevelt and Tru-
mani agreed to the cession to Russia
OF the Kurile Islands and Southern
Sakhalin; to the independence of
Outer Mongolia: to recognition of
Soviet interests as paramount in
Da1ren. Port Arthur, and the Man
churian Railways; to the incorpora-
ton into Soviet Union of sizeable
area OF prewar Poland: to giving
Russia extra votes in the United
Nations; to Soviet annexation of
northern portions of East Prussia !:
to provisional Polish Communist
administration of Eastern Germany.
and the recognition of Soviet claims
for preferential reparations from
Western Germany"
When these concessions failed to
win Russia's friendship, the re-
port continued, Mr.. Truman made
still further concessions.
Truman Doctrine Announced.
On March IL, 1947, however, Mr.
Truman promulgated his Truman
doctrine, proposing that the United
States intervene whenever neces-
sary throughout the world (particu-
larly in Greece and Turkey, to pre-
vent the subjugation Of free peoples
to Communist-inspired totalitarian-
ism. He said that in violation oi
the Yalta agreement, the peoples OF
Poland, Rumania and Bulgaria had
been subjected to totalitarian re-
gimes against their will.
The Republican committee said
now Mr.. Truman has become an
anti Communist, he would have il
understood that he never did-as
was universally understood-favor
the inclusion of Chinese Com
munistS in the Chinese government
When Mr.. Truman issued a state
ment on basic policy on China, De-
cember Is, 1945, it was read as
Endorsement and continuation of the
policy to unity the Chinese govern
ment by negotiating a settlement of
the civil war in China and accept
ance by the national government of
Communists in the government. "
