Willard Albury, hospital super
intendent, today informed this writ
er that the request for emergency
blood donations day before yester.
day was a mistake on the part of
outsiders. (The Citizen received its
information from an official gov
eminent source.)
"The hospital had four pints of
blood on hand for Mrs. Betan-
court" said Albury. "This was suf-
ficient to last her several weeks.
1t if had been an emergency case,
we would have had technician
on hand to accept the blood"
The hospital superintendent went
on to explain how all key emplo-
yees of the institution are on call
24-hours day. If necessary a po-
lice escort is provided to insure
that no delay occurs in answering
calls for help.

Several complaints were received
by The Citizen as to the manner
in which people offering their blood
were turned down. Said Albury,
"This girl was courteous. She ex-
planned that the blood was not
needed on an emergency basis"
Numerous calls have revealed
that the entire town Is interested

.Truman's News
Is
Wide-Ranging
By D. HAROLD OLIVER

WASHINGTON Up - President
Truman, in a wide-ranging news
conference, said today he is con-
sidering calling a special session
of Congress and plans a thorough
canvass with Gov. Adlai Steven
SON next week on what's needed
for Democratic victory this fall.
He said he will await fur
Their developments before deciding
whether a special session would
be called.
The President made the state
ment to a news conference in re-
plying to questions about Price
Stabilizer Ellis ArnalPs statement
Wednesday that a special session
may be necessary elf food prices
continue to get out of hand and
Skyrocket."
The President refused to COM
ment when asked whether Arnall
had submitted his resignation.
On politics, the President said
he would discuss with Illinois Gov.
Stevenson, the Democratic presi-
Dental candidate, everything that
is necessary to elect the Demo
cratic ticket in November.
Stevenson viii come here at the
Presidents invitation to sit in at q
Cabinet luncheon Tuesday. He said
Stevenson had suggested to him in
Chicago that it would be good
thing If they could get togetheE
to discuss campaign plans.
The President was asked about
reports current during the Demo.
cratic convention in Chicago thai
he first decided to support Vice
president Alben VI. Bzrkiey md
then switched to Mutual Security
Director Averell Hartman for the
presidential nomination.
Truman said Barley left Wash
ington for Chicago expecting to be
a candidate and had he remained
in the race he would have sup.
ported him. He added he had never
promised to support Hartman.
Truman's alternate at the conven-
ton cast his vote for Stevenson.
The President said the conven.
ton wound up by picking the best
man but that this was no reflection
on the other contenders.
Truman opened the conference
by reading two statements.
One urged all qualified American
citizens to register to vote in the
coming election. He said when II
comes to voting many other coun-
tries put US to shame" He urged
newspapers, magazines, radio and
TV, to arouse interest in the sub

Gov. Stevenson May Tell Truman
To Take Back Seat In Campaign
Presidential Candidate
Indicates He. Wishes
To Run Own Race
Nv JACK BELL

WASHINGTON R-Gov. Adlai E.
Stevenson of Illinois may face the
difficult task here next week OF
suggesting to President Truman
that he take q back seat in the
presidential campaign.
Wednesday Stevenson had accept
cd an invitation to, attend a Cabi-
net meeting here Tuesday. Sen.
John Sparkman Of Alabama, the
vice-presidential nominee, and Vice
President Barley also were in
vited.
II will be Stevenson's first face
to-face meeting with Truman since
the night the governor was nomi-
mated at the Chicago convention.
It might be historic in its develop
ment Of relationships between a
retiring President and the party's
nominee to succeed him.
Stevenson gave no indication he
regarded the Cabinet meeting bid
as in the nature of command
performance. But there is general
belief among Democrats here that
the nominee is reluctant to become
too closely identified with the Tru-
man administration.
As q start toward establishing
his own political entity for The COM
ing campaign, Stevenson is report
ed about ready to replace Tru-
mans Democratic National Com
inittee Chairman Frank e. McKin-
uey.
Stevenson's top choice for the
Job is believed to be former Sen.
Francis ]. Myers of Pennsylvania,
who quarterbacked the draft Ste
venson" movement at the Chicago
convention. Another man under
confederation for the NATIONAL
chairmanship is Rep. Michael Kir-
wan Of Ohio, chairman Of the DEM
ocratic House campaign commit
I tee.

associate himself from the present
regime was indicated when, for one
thing, he made II clear in his ac-
ceptance speech at Chicago that
he recognizes corruption-in- govern
ment charges as a campaign issue
and proposes to do something about
It other than deny-as Truman has
that there have been any serious
wrohgdoing.
In what generally was regarded
as a criticism of Truman's atti-
tude rs well as that Of the Re-
publicans, Stevenson demanded:
do you doubt the power of any
political leader, If he has the viii
to do so, to set his own house in
order without his neighbors burn
ing ii DOWN."
Truman has offered to take TO
the whistle stops again with the
give-'em-hell-type Of campaigning
he pursued so successfully in 1913.
But that isn't Stevenson's STYLE
at all. He leans toward the politi-
cal rapier rather than the meat.
axe,
He might feel the contrast would
work to his disadvantage If Tru-
man were dividing the country's
attention at a time when the gov
ernor may believe he alone should
have the Democratic spotlight.
Many Democrats believe it would
please Stevenson to have Truman
remain--as the President himself
has put tia buck private in the
rear ranks Of the campaign.
There seems little doubt that
Truman Is itching to take to the
country q personal defense of his
record In office. He told Rep.
Emanuel Celler Of New York, who
