ind-Whipped blaze swept through
a Wilmington lumber yard and
burned into 18 nearby homes yes

81 million.
The fire roared out of control
as every available fireman in

One death was Blamed on the

At least 18 families were made

will vote late tomorrow or Mon
day on the McCarran measure.
| President Truman has objected
to many of the provisions on
grounds they would imperil the
rights of loyal citizens. He asked
Congress only for new legal weap-
ons to deal with saboteurs and
spies.
Senator Mundt, Republican. of
South Dakota and other hackers
of the McCarran bill held the
floor most of yesterday.
Kilgore Substitute Criticized.
The South Dakota lawmaker at

"that apologetic appeasement ap-

words to say about Senator Leh-
man. Democrat-Liberal. of New
York, who has attacked the Nc
Carran measure as thought polio
ing" Senator Mundt called that
an irresponsible" statement.
Senator Mundt said the McCar-
ran proposed Communist control
plan "does not deny speech to any,
body" and that if any one could
prove it did, he would "offer to eat
every bill in the Senate"
He said it did contain some
tough penalties for peacetime spy
ing.
I'VE are going to deny these
palsy -walsy Communists the right
to engage in espionage in peace
time" Senator Mundt continued.
The McCarran bill also got
strong backing from Senator
O'Conor, Democrat. of Maryland,
who said it would Cripple the
Kremlin army in America" and
strike at the very core Of the
Communist movement"

since the Corps was established in
ITS. I, personally, learned of the
splendid combat spirit of the Ma
rines when the 4th Marine Bri-
gade of the I'd Infantry Division
fought in France in 1918.
On numerous occasions since I
assumed Office, I have stated my
conviction that the Marine Corps
has vital role in our organization
for national security and I will
continue to support and maintain
its identity.
I regard the Marine Corps as a
force available for use in any
emergency, wherever and whenever
necessary. When I spoke of the
Marines as the "Navy's police force"
had in mind its immediate readi-
ness, and the provision of the Ma
tional Security Act which states
that THE Marine Corps shall be
organized. trained and equipped to
provide fleet marine forces of COM
bined arms, together with support
ing air components, for service with
the fleet in the seizure or defense
of advanced naval bases and for
the conduct of such land operations
as may be essential to the prosecu-
ton of naval campaign"
the Corps ability to carry out
whatever task may be assigned to
it has been splendidly demonstrated
in our history. 1t has again been
shown by the immediate response
of the Marine Corps to a call for
duty in Korea. Since Marine ground
and air forces have arrived in Ko-
rea have received a daily report Of
their actions. The country may feel
sure that the record of the Marines
now fighting there will add new
laurels to the already illustrious
record of the Marine Corps.
Sincerely yours,

Texts of Truman Statements

/ my letter of August 20 to Congress
nan McDonough concerning the
Marine Corps.
What I had in mind at the time
this letter was written was the spe-
Icific question raised by Mr.. McDon-
ough, namely the representation of
the Marine Corps on the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. I have been dis
turbed by the number of commune
cations which have been brought to
my attention proposing that the
Marine Corps have such representa-
ton.
I feel that, in as much as the
Marine Corps is by law an integral
part of the Department of the Navy,
lit is already represented on the
Joint Chiefs of Staff by the chief
Of naval operations. That the Con-
gress concurs in this point of view
| is evidenced by the fact that, in
passing the National Security Act
of 1947, and again in amending that
Act in 1949, the Congress consid-
cred the question of Marine Corps
representation on the Joint Chiefs
of Staff and did not provide for it.
1t is my feeling that many of the
renewed pleas for such representa-
ton are the result of propaganda in
spired by individuals who may not
be aware of the best interests of
our defense establishment as a
whole, and it was this feeling which
was expressing to Mr.. McDonough.
I am certain that the Marine Corps
itself does not indulge in such
propaganda.

magnificent history of the United
States Marine Corps, and of the
many heroic deeds of the Marines

FOLLOWING is the official tran
script OF President Truman's in
formal remarks today to the
Marine Corps League and the
tert of his tDritten apology
yesterday:
The official transcript of Mr.
Truman's informal remarks today
to the Marine Corps League:
Gen. Gates, Mr.. Commander,
members of the Marine Corps
League: I am happy to be with
you this morning. You succeeded
in enticing me over here.
There are incidents. sometimes,
that appear to be almost the end
Of the world when they happen,
that usually turn out for the good
of the cause.
The thing that I am most inter-
ested in is a unified approach to
the crisis which we face. My
whole endeavor for five years has
been to attain a peaceful settle
ment of the greatest war in his
tory. have striven for that since
I have been President of the
United States. That effort seemed
to be approaching a consuIpma-
ton until the 25th day of June.
Then we were faced with a situa-
ton in which we had to Stard
up and say that we supported
the United Nations in it's effort
to attain peace in the world, or we
had to back out and surrender.
That is not my way of doing
business.
When I make a mistake, I try
to correct it. I try to make as few
as possible. I hope that this or
ganization will support the Presi-
dent of the United States in his
effort to get peace in the worlc
that's all I want.
Conditions have come about
due, I must say, to a certain polit.
ical event which will take place
in November-which have caused
unfounded attacks to be made or
certain men in public service. Thi.
has made it almost impossible te
get the men capable of filling the
jobs to come here and stand fol
a barrage of that kind.
1t is not only unfair, it is un.
just, as those attacks in the Ions
run are not on the individuals or
whom they are made, they are
direct attacks on the President
of the United States, who is re.
sponsible under the present sit
uation for the Government, anc
for its actions and for it's policy
I can't tell you how much I ap-
preciate your cordial reception
how kind you have been to me
and hope that from now or
there will never be any misunder-
standing between us.
The follo,Ding letter was sent
By Mr.. Truman yesterday to
Clay Nixon. commandant OF
the Marine Corps League:
My dear Mr.. Nixon:
I am concerned over the situa-
ton which has arisen because OF
the publishing of my letter of Au-
gust 29th to Representative McDon-
ough.
have this date addressed a let
ter to the commandant of the Ma
rine Corps, a copy of which ! am
inclosing.
I should be happy to have you
read my letter to the members of
your organization.
Sincerely yours,
HARRY S. TRUMAN

work for legislation to accomplish
this, despite Mr.. Truman's ex-
planation that he feels there is
no need for the corps to have
such representation. 1t was a
request for such representation in
a White House letter from Repre-
sentative McDonough. Republi-
can. of California that set off the
furor.
Nixon Eases Up.
Mr.. Nixon. who first termed the
Truman letter an insult" and
demanded an apology. had eased
up by early afternoon, telling re-
porters he wanted to hush up the
whole matter.
John c. Vivian, former Cover
nor of Colorado and now COM
maAdant of the leagues Colorado
Department. opened his address
by saying he was very much
amazed at the Presidents tribute
paid to the Marines" He drew
laughter and cheers when he sale
that I'VE must educate that gen.
tleman in some of the traditions
Of the corps"
Probably the biggest laugh oi
the session came when Represent.

Navy's police force" comment
opened his speech this way:
II never minded facing one
traffic cop. But 10000 (tht
leagues membership is almost
too tough. This is the first police
mems convention I've ever ad-
dressed"
Policeman" Is a Swede.
Several delegates suggested
sending copies of the Marine
Corps history. "One Hundred and
Seventy-f1ve Years with the
Corps" to the President.
Perhaps the oldest of them to
take the floor was M. A. whelan,
79, Of Cranston, r. l., a former
sergeant-major. Asked by an
other delegate If he were a "po-
liceman," he yelled: mo, I'm a
Swede."
Another timer, Herbert
Baldwin. 10. New York City. the
leagues national bugler," took
Mr.. Truman to task for choosing
"the wrong time to come out with
an asinine statement"
Going further, Paul Corbin, ot
Janesyille, Wis. called the Presi-
dents comments the final desper-
ate act of the crumbling Truman
empire"
The leagues women's auxiliary
also got into the spirit of things
with a heated resolution, after
showing aside regular business to
discuss the controversy. The reso-
luton said that If their Marine
menfolk are only propaganda
machines CnaC we DO hereby
demand that these men be re-
turned to our sides"
With their anger placated, con-
vention delegates made resolu-
tions the highlight of business.
New officers will be nominated
later today and the meeting will
end tomorrow with the annual
election and banquet.
Delegates who weren't sounding
of at the President yesterday
journeyed to Arlington Cemetery
for special services at the Tomb
Of the Unknown Soldier. Wreaths
were placed at the tomb by both
the league and its auxiliary to
highlight the ceremonies.
