Dear Sir:
/ am life long Democrat. | am
a next door neighbor of State Aud
itor Joseph 7. Ferguson. / have
supported him devotedly for the
past twenty years.
Today ] call upon every Demo-
crat in the State of Ohio who loves
the Democratic Party to work to
turn Ferguson out of office. His
record is SO bad that it affects and
taints the whole Democratic Party
in Ohio.
He has demonstrated his unfit
ness for office by his (a) shake
down tactics; (b) relatives on the
payroll; (c) his vacation trips all
over the United States at taxpay-
ers expense; cd his padded ex-
pense accounts; (e) his refusal to
support the Party; CD his require
ment that all employees sign un-
dated designations; (g) his assign
ment of employees to political
work while being paid for their
time and expenses from State
funds.
Joseph Ferguson does the Dem
ocratic party no good. With Fergu-
son on the ticket every Democrat
is hurt. No longer should he be
permitted to embarrass and under
mine the good work of the Demo-
cratic Party and undermine and
embarrass the efforts of Governor
Lausche and other responsible
Democrats in their efforts to bring
good government and Party sue
cess to Ohio.
Let us show the Republicans

KEY WEST. Fla, Mar. 20.-
President Truman said today that
Gen. dwight Eisenhower is at
liberty to come back to this coun-
try whenever he sees At.
The President told news con-
ference that the commander Of
the North Atlantic Treaty forces
understands that he is a free
agent, and can do as he likes.
Mr.. Truman emphasized he had
conveyed this information to the
general.
Asked If he had discussed this
particular point with the general
in the light of the latter's possible
political commitments. the Pres
ident said he had not. He said
they had only spoken of Gen.
Eisenhower's possible relief in con-
|nection with the military situa-
ton.
The President told a news con-
ference several weeks ago that he
would never move Gen. Eisen-
hover unless the officer asked
that he do so.
Today, it was evident that he
discussed the general with re-
luctance.
A reporter recalled the gen.
erals political showing in New
Hampshire and Minnesota and
said that one writer had sug-
gested that it was Mr.. Truman's
duty" to bring him home. in
the light Of his burgeoning presi-
Dental boom. He asked how the
President felt.

cies financed by the bill were cut,

$211 .664. 400, a cut of $16,431. TOO.

mendation, had investigated the
possibility of securing reimburse

llumbia.

today into demands for more
money for veterans and public

Senators on the committee de-
clared emphatically they saw no
reason to discount sensational tes-
timony by dope peddlers that the
graft has been going on for years.
They had a rough-and- tumble
round with Police Detective Sergt.
Lloyd Furr of the homicide
squad, who conducted lie detec-
tor tests for the grand jury in
vestigation of police payoff re-
ports.
The committee also heard James
M. (Jim Yellow Roberts testify
that he refused to divulge his
shocking story of collusion with
policemen to the United States
Attorneys staff last month be-
cause two policemen were present
at the time and he feared the
story would "get back" to other
policemen.
Not until he was questioned by
an investigator for the Senate
committee, Roberts said. did he
feel that he could speak with COM
plete confidence so the story would
not leak to the police.
Sergt. Furr testified at his own
request for the purpose, he said. of
removing any suspicion attached
to him because of testimony by
Roberts on Tuesday. He denied, as
was testified, that he accompanied

the critical steel wage dispute, but
later Mr.. Wilson's Office said he
may not hav to make the trip.

aide to Mr.. Wilson said of the
Presidential summons. The fact
that the defense mobilizer may
not be required to confer with the
President indicated q favorable
break in the steel dispute may be
near. Earlier. it was announced
Mr.. Wilson had Cancelled a trip
to Chicago for the emergency
meeting with Mr.. Truman.
Efforts to win at least post
ponement of the Nation-w wide
steel strike now scheduled for
Sunday midnight were snagged
earlier when the Wage Stabiliza-
ton Board was unable to reach
agreement on recommendation
for settling the three-month old
dispute.
Feinsinger COllapses.
A dramatic all-night session of
the Wage Board broke up when
Chairman Nathan p. Finsinger
collapsed from exhaustion early

resume its sessions at 2 pm.

controversy. tainted from fatigue
in the boardroom at $3.50 am. He
was revived quickly and doctors
said he probably would be able
to resume work this afternoon.
The WSB had promised the CIO
United Steelworkers and the steel
companies that it would submit
today recommendations for set
tlement of each of the 16 issues
in the three-month-old dispute
which threatens to erupt in a Ma
tion-wide strike at midnight Sum-
day.
Union Sessions Postponed.
Mr.. Feinsinger asked the union,
headed by CIO President Philip
Murray, to postpone strike action
at least until April 8 to allow
time for bargaining negotiations
lon the projected Wage Board
recommendations.
Mr.. Murray had called a meet
ing of the unions Executive Board
for 10 am. today and a session Of
the Steelworkers 170-man Wage
Policy Committee for pm. But
both meetings were postponed
pending completion of Wage
Board action on the dispute.
It had been expected that the
union, which already has post
|poned strike action three times,
would agree to another delay If
Wage Board recommendations
were found to be generally salts
factory. just what effect the
failure of the board to complete
its work as soon as it has expected
would have on the unions action
was not clear.
Public Members Agree.
Meanwhile. the steel producers
were ready to start banking
furnaces and making other steps
necessary to prevent damage to
their plants in event Of q shut
