TRUMAN TO

SATURDAY

Economic ControIs-TdIks

BY d. HAROLD OLIVER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 - R =
President Truman said today he
will go on the radio Saturday night
to tell the nation what he has in
mind in the way of homefront
economic controls during the emer-
gency.
He said the plans will be put into
civilian hands and added empha-
tically there will be no military
dictator in charge.
In making these statements at a
news conference, the President re-
ported the anti-inflation bill passed
by Congress is now being analysed
by many Federal agencies. He said
he will answer a lot of questions
about it in his radio address over
four networks Saturday at an hour
still to be set. He expects to sign
the measure in few days.
No Special Agency
Mr.. Truman. in reply to ques-
tons, said he is not now consider
ing setting up an Independent
agency to handle price and wage
contrils when and if needed.
Mention of reports that w. Stu
art Symington, chairman of the
National Security Resources Board
would be the overall boss of home
front mobilization drew from Mr.
Truman the retort that it was the
first he had heard of that.
Dealing with other questions, the
President said:
l. He considers the Marine Corps
incident closed. This was a refer
ence to his crack for which he
later apologized, that the Marine
Corps is simply a Navy police force

Interior Secretary Hits Back

Case Of Smearing

Truman, vigorously denied today
that he has ever had any Com
munist ties.

have Chapman told the Senate
Interior Committee investigating
charges brought against him by
Senator Schoeppel (R-Kan). He
said he had never had any con-
nections with any subversive group,
open or closed"
Chapman dared Schoeppel to his
face to repeat the charges outside
the Senate, where senators may say
anything without danger of prose-
cution for damages.
While he was testifying, Mr.. Tru-
man confidently told his White
House news conference that Chap
man will explode attacks against
him into little bits-as other at
tacks, he said, have been exploded
before.
Charges Made
Schoerpel had said in Senate
speech Tuesday that there was "a
strong and close personal alliance
between the Russian Soviet cause
and the present Secretary of the
Interior"
Schoeppel's attack, Chapman told
the Senate committee, ''far sur
passes in viciousness, in venality
and in utter falsity" any made
against him in II years with the
Interior Department.
He said he believed Schoeppel
made the accusations in the hope
of blocking passage of a bill pro-
posing statehood for Alaska.
Smear Technique

APOLOGIES

WASHINGTON, Sept T. Up -
President Truman made an unher-
aided visit to the Marine Corps
Leagues meeting today and express
ed hope there will never be another
misunderstanding" between him and
the Marines.
1t was a personal and emphatic
follow up to his apology of yesterday
for his earlier unfortunate" words
about the fighting corps.
The League gave him standing
ovation and applauded furiously
when he said, with a grin:
you succeeded in enticing me
over here"
With his mind obviously on the
Juror over his description of the
Marines as police force" with a
propaganda machine that is almost
equal to Stalin's," Mr.. Truman
said
There are incidents that some
time appear almost as if it was the
end of the word at the time but
that eventually turn out to be for
the good of the country.
Then he added, that when he
makes mistake, I try to correct
it."
Attacks Resented
Mr.. Truman went on to express
his resentment over "unfounded at
tacks against certain men in the
public service" He attributed those
attacks to politics in connection
with the approaching November ell
ection.
He did not name those he said
were victims of these "unfounded
and unjust" attacks, but he said the
attacks were not aimed actually at
these men but were direct attacks
on the President of the United Stat
es."

WASHINGTON - It's supposed
to be a White House secret, but
the Presidents personal physician,
Brig. Gen. Wallace Graham, has
been giving the Chief Executive a
course in psychotherapy.
The treatment takes the form of
regular talks between the President
and General Graham, in which Mr.
Truman unburdens himself about
the aggravations that go with the
Job of being President.
In these sessions, Truman pours
out his innermost secrets to his
doctor-such things as the worry
he had over dropping the A-bomb
his worry over his dealings with
Stain, over his decision to send
American boys to fight in Korea.
Graham analyses the Presidents
concern, and helps to relieve the
tremendous strain under winch
every President labors.
Incidentally, General Graham
keeps a verbatim record OF these
conversations which some DAY
should be among the most import
ant reading in history.
