As he walked into BOO 1913 with
Press Secretary Joe Short and his
other aides, the President took a

dents under the glare of the TV
lights and said:
"My what a lOud-looking crowd

He referred of course to the
bright colored shirts of the gentle
men of the press. The President
comment came from the vantage
point of his monkey West attire of
Navy blue pongee suit, no doubt
inspired by the cooler day.
The President said that he thinks
the very best effort is being put
forward to meet defense require
ments. If it is not, he said, he
would soon find out about it and
do something about it. After all,
he said, he had experience with
that kind of thinking.
He expressed regret at the

The Cuban Consul Morales told

to The Citizen to pick up the issue
in which / had reported the ar
rival of Tony and Rodolpho:

1t was Morales first official
ceremonial since his arrival here
less than a month ago as consul.
He is off to a good start as every
one at the conference could agree.
The President appealed to the
press and radio to place the vel
fare of the United Nations before
competition in getting a news
story
He said he had no trouble with
the White House correspondents,
but he appealed to the press as
sociations and wire services not
to repeat the kind of story he term

He said that he was walking

A French newspaper in block high
letters proclaimed the armistice-
the end of the World War. 1t was
seconds before a $50 German shell
smashed into the road.
The President termed the 1918
story of the false armsitice a
fake" and the story Wednesday
that was flashed throughout the
world of cease fire order" in
Korea as parallel story.
The President said he understood
that the AP story came out because
of competition. Very seriously he
appealed to newspapers to place
the welfare of the world before
journalistic competition.
He remained standing while he
read prepared statement denying
the cease-fire order in Korea. Then
he sat down and relaxed and smil-
ed and told the correspondents to
ask what they would.
When queried by Bill Lawrence
of the New York Times on what
he thought about Senator Taft's
statement that the campaign to
defeat him in Ohio was sinister,
Truman replied that there was no
conspiracy. All Democrats, he
said, wanted Democratic senator

 Mir. Mccormick further stated that this does not apply to re- giStrantS who have received their orders to report for induction, and therefore do not have this privilege, nor does it apply to enlistments in any of the Reserve ComponentS.
