Truman Raps Mccarthy, Taft
AT News Conference Today
Up Wirephoto

( WASHINGTON, April 3D.
(R.-President Truman raped
two Republican senators sharply
today-Joseph Mccarthy of Wis
consin and McCarthy's defender,
Robert Taft of Ohio.
Mr.. Truman unbuldened him
self at a news conference when
the subject of McCarthy's Com
munist charges was brought up.
1t was an extension of the Presi-
dents blast few days ago at the
Wisconsin senator's accusations
against State Department men.
And against the comment by
Taft in column the senator does
for some Ohio papers, that Mr..
Truman had libeled Mccarthy
when he said that the Wisconsin
Republican is the biggest asset
the Kremlin has in the US.
Today, a reporter asked the
President about Taft's remark
that Mccarthy had been Iibeled.
Mr.. Truman snapped at his qucs-
toner:
do you think that's possible?"
The President showed how
strongly he felt on that subject
by telling the newSmcn to go
ahead and quote him directly
something that does not happen
often with presidential remarks
at news conferences. Then Mr..
Truman went to work on Taft.
He said he doesn't read all the
political columns Of all the peo-
pie running for reelection. The
President noted that Taft is up
for the Senate again this Fall.
/, But even more pointedly, MIR.
Truman added that he thinks the
Ohio senator is interested in
something else a couple of years
from now. The implication was
plain. Taft is among those mem
toned as a candidate for the Re-

The ex-Marine, in his home

WASHINGTON, Apr. Is.

One prominent Republi-
can senator, John Bricker,
of Ohio, has indicated that
he will fight any rent con-
troll bill, including the COM
promise one. But the chair
man of the COP Policy
Committee, Robert Taft,
also of Oao, L sid to be
ready to back the new pro-
Iposal.
Friends explain that Taft
does not want the Republic
can party to give its OPP
ponents a chance to tell
big city voters next fall
that the COP was respon-
sible for lifting rent cell
ings.
Bricker, on the other
hand, says that supply is
now catching up with de-

for control.
The senate banking com

much like the group health plan
here, but I believe little less ex-
penSive.
| About the suburbs, within a few
miles of the city, you can avoid
the fog completely. Many people
commute from the suburbs into
the city daily. The towns down
the peninsula are very pretty and
very desirable. also with many
new homes being built. Across
the Bay Bridge is Alameda, Oak
land, Berkeley and Richmond,
within easy committing distance
of downtown San Francisco via
interurban electric trains. These
cities are practically fog free.
Berkeley is the home of the Uni
versity of California, and is beau
tiful. Across the Golden gate
bridge is Marin County, also with
easy committing distance, but also
foggy.
The city is only 7 miles square
and the downtown area is easily
accessible from almost any point
in the city by public conveyance.
If there is any other informa-
ton that I can give you. I would
be delighted to do so. am sorry
that I do not have a phone, but
I can easily write to you.
KEEPING CHILDREN AMUSED?
From F. L. ~, SilUer Spring.
In the past I have received
many excellent suggestions from
the RICH and hope that you can
help me with my present problem.
How can T keep my 5la-year-
old daughter and 61a-year-old
son amused when they are not
in school? Suddenly none of the
things they have been doing in
terests them. Everything is toe
babyish or no fun. When they
can be outdoors it is not so
bad but on bad days and after
5 o'clock I go mad.
What chores can one expect
them to be interested in? And
what handicrafts can 5la year
old be expected to learn? Knit
ting, crocheting or sewing seem a
little complicated or shall I go
ahead and try?
I shall appreciate any sugges-
tions as to books, activities in Sill
yer Spring on Saturdays, etc.
Thank you.

Mrs. S. K: In regard to your
young son who wakes at night,
have you tried keeping him awake
during the day? It worked with
my baby. He never slept the
night through until I discontinued
daytime maps. It was not easy
keeping him up as he would be
sleepy at suppertime, but the quiet
nights were worth the effort.
After two or three weeks, I grad
ually allowed him to nap again,
the wakeful nights did not re-
turn. However, my baby was a
year and a half at the time I did
this, so perhaps you should check
with your pediatrician on the ad-
of keeping so young a
child up all day. At any rate,
I hope this helps.
