whistle-stop speech on his way
back from Milwaukee, where he
delivered major speech last
might, when his special train rolled
into Cincinnati at 9:30 am.
(EDTD.
Last night at a Labor Day
rally sponsored by the CIO and
AFL in Milwaukee, Mr.. Truman
tagged Gen. Eisenhower as the
lonely. captive candidate" of Re-
Ipublicans who want to turn back
the clock and destroy all the
progress we have made in this
country in the last 20 years"
AS he belabored most Repub-
licans in Congress as obstruction-
lists, the President departed from
his prepared speech to make his
first public comment on the steel
case since the Supreme Court held
unconstitutional his seizure of the
steel mills.
Mr.. Truman charged that al
most every Republican in Con-
greSS lined up on the side of the
steel corporations and against
labor in the steel case" Then,
departing from written speech,
Mr.. Truman referred to the Su-
preme Court ruling as "a bred
Scott decision"
Ho cold fharo .,,oe v,,,,nt, ak>,,k
the case that was not understood
and promised: I'll tell you about
the steel case one of these days
a possible hint he may use it in
his campaigning for Gov. Ste
venSon.
10000 Attend Rally.
A crowd estimated at nearly
10000 was in the Milwaukee
Sports Arena to hear the Presi-
dent unloose his attack on the
Republican Party. The rally was
sponsored by the CIO-AFL Polit-
ical League. which sold tickets at
81 a person.
The speech indicated the pos
sible pattern of the contribution
Mr.. Truman plans to make to the
campaign for Gov. Stevenson. 1t
turned out to be variation of his
1948 theme of attacking what he
described as the "do-nothing" Re-
Ipublican-controlled S0th Congress-.
The 1852 version is one of labelling
the Republicans as reactionary.
Mr.. Truman called bluntly for
the defeat of Republican Senator
Mccarthy of Wisconsin, and di-
rected some digs. sharp if indirect.
at Gen. Eisenhower. He refrained,
however, from mentioning either
by name.
Praises LaFOllette Tradition.
In his speech, broadcast over
"a Nationwide radio hookup, Mr..
Truman sought to turn to his own
use the Republican campaign cry
for change in Washington. With
an obvious reference to Senator
Mccarthy and other Republican
critics, he declared:
1T is time for a change from
the big lie-from the brazen Re-
publican efforts to falsify history,
to smear and ruin innocent in
dividuals, to trample on the basic
liberties Of American citizens"
At another point he praised the
liberal traditions fOStered in Wis
consin by the La Toilette family,
and added:
Il am sure that this year Wis
conSin will return to that tradi-
ton and elect a United States
Senator you can be proud Of"
Senator Mccarthy has fire.
quently attacked the administra-
ton and in particular the State
Department with charges that it
has harbored Communists.

in the wild and reckless ranting
of men who don't care what hap

"How to Be a HypOcrite."
He added there have been
"some mastermindS" at hand to
show Gen. Eisenhower "how to
be a hypocrite in a few easy les

Republican masterminds is a man
who helped in the formulation of
our foreign policy.
HE knows what a precarious
situation the world is in. He
knows how easy it would be to
start a war. But he is perfectly
willing to have. the Republican
Party and the Republican candi-
date say things that increase the
risk of war, simply in order to
get votes"
This was apparently a reference
to John Foster Dulles, former spe-
cial adviser to the State Depart
ment and Republican foreign
policy specialist.
Il am perfectly convinced-and
I hope our Allies will understand, "
Mr.. Truman said, "that the Re-

they say to pledge this country to
a frightful, atomic war in order to
roll back the Iron Curtain by
