really prepared to take over the
City paper for that day but when
we got to the office and saw all the
activities that surround the build
ing we were kind of like Mary,s
little lost sheep wandering aimless-
ly around.
On arrival at the office we were
appointed to certain reporter or
staff member. For instance Betty
Cooper was taken under the apron
strings of Dorothy Raymer and
saw dummy fire drill in action
at the u. S. naval station and met
many various types of people.
Aldo Vidal and Vita Barrosa,
being mainly interested in. sports,
took control of the Sports Editor,
Jim Cobb, and visited the water
front and aquarium, the city
managers office and the chief Of
police. They wrote various articles
and gave the office a good upside
down interview.
Nancy Brooks and Alice Garcia
went with Susan McAvoy on her
daily beat to the county courthouse,
the Superintendent of public ms
truction's office, the Chamber of
Commerce and the Superintendent
of Registration. After returning to
the Citizen office Nancy and Susan
starting writing the various articles
while Alice helped develop the pic

Camille WalterSon stayed in the
office and helped Margaret Fores-
man, the society editor, proof read
and write articles. She became
better acquainted with the ma
chimes than did the rest of us due
to her not having to leave the of

ate lunch in shifts and returning to
find work and more fun for the re-

more than we thought we knew a.

very educational and exciting day
at the office of the Citizen.

SAN FRANCISCO Rt-Dwight D..
Eisenhower moves his campaign
into South California today after a
scathing foreign policy indictment
blaming the Korean War largely
on the political decision Of the Tru-
man administration.
Speaking last night at San Fran
cisco, the COP presidential NOM
inee said a 1851 statement by the
State Department, leaving Korea
outside the announced defense
perimeter in the Pacific, had en-
couraged if not invited 1.-THE ordeal
in Korea"
He told a wildly cheering throng
Of nearly $4,000 overlooking the
Cow Palace arena that the United
States had been "swindled" into
the Korean peace talks-and as a
result the Communists are now
half again as strong as they were
before the talks began.
In his prepared text, Eisenhower
said: "The Soviet trap was per
fectly conceived, perfectly timed,
perfectly sprung"
He dropped this paragraph in his
talk but told his press secretary,
James Hagerty, that he would
"stand by it." He called this situa-
ton a "bear pitt into which free
world diplomacy had fallen.
II was one of the bitterest de-
nunciations of the administration
that Eisenhower has yet made. 1t
paralleled in many ways the
charges Republicans have been
making for months.
With this speech behind him,
he headed by plane today for g
swing into Fresno, San Diego,
Long Beach and Los Angeles.
He rode into San Francisco by
automobile Ia a blizzard of con-
fetti and ticker tape. Police eSti-
mated 100, 900 cheered him along
the way. There was a high emo
tional content to the cheers and
yells and in the face of those who
applauded him. II was striking
to reporters who have followed the
general through his campaign.
The demonstration raised the
hopes of Eisenhower's lieutenants
that he has . great reservoir of
good win In California that could
mean the capture of the states
80 electoral votes Nov. I.
Eisenhower's attack on the ad-
miniStration's foreign policy was
combined with 4 defense Of him
self against accusations hurled at
him BY President Truman.
Truman has attacked EiSenhow-
er on the grounds that he Is now
trying to disciaim responsibility for
foreign policies which Truman
says he helped 10 determine as a
five-star general.
And the President has said the
general periied this nation in 1ssS
by not warning against the future
threat Of Communism. and by vote
ing belief that Russia wanted
friendship with this country.
Eisenhower said he did testify
before = congressional committee
with can optimistic hope and be-
lief that the Russian policy was
not then hostile. but was influenced
By a desire for q workable friend

He said that hope was quickly
