Stevenson 10 Discuss
Campaign Plans at
Lunch With Truman
Nominee Due Tuesday
To Mop Strategy With
President and Cabinet
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman said today
that Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, thu
Democratic presidential nominee
is coming to the Capital Tuesday
to map plans for party victory
in November.
It had been announced yes.
terday that the Illinois Governor
would be here for a cabinet
luncheon Tuesday at which Sen.
ator Sparkman of Alabama, the
Democratic vice presidential
nominee, also would be present
Asked at a news conference il
his own role in the campaign
would be determined, the Presi-
dent responded rather shortly
that everything necessary to have
the Democratic ticket elected
would be discussed. He added
that there was no use going into
details.
While Mr.. Truman has said re-
peatedly that he expected to put
on another "back-platform" drive
akin to that of 1948, there has
been nothing from Gov. Steven
sons headquarters to indicate
that this plan was definite.
Suggested by Stevenson.
The President brought out also
that the Governors trip to Wash
ington had been suggested by Mr..
Stevenson shortly after his NOM
nation, when he conferred with
Mr.. Truman and other party lead
|ers in Chicago.
The President also had high
praise for Gov. Stevenson, saying
that he was the best candidate
the party could have chosen.
The President also told his news
conference that he would have
supported Vice President Barley
for the presidential nomination
had the Kentuckian remained in
the race.
Mr.. Barley withdrew before
the balloting started. The Presi-
dents statement was in response
to query about reports that he
had shifted his support from Mr..
Barley to Mutual Security Ad-
ministrator Averell Hartman.
He said that he had never con-
sidered supporting Mr.. Hartman.
Applying, Mr.. Truman said that
the Mutual Security Director had
come to him and asked if it would
be all right if he had the New
York delegation pledged to his
candidacy and was assured that
that met with the Presidents ap-
|proval.
Continuing. the President said
that without any reflection on

g. 0. P. 'Hatchet Men
|Assailed by Moody
In Stevenson Plea
Senator Urges Governor
To Make Campaign Issue
Of Political Integrity
BY the Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. T.
Senator Blair Moody of Michigan
today urged Gov. Adlai Stevenson
to make a major campaign issue
of what he called the "haJchet
men" around Gen. Dwight D
Eisenhower, Republican presi-
DENTAL nominee.
Senator Moody declined tc
identify the "hatchet men" tc
lnewsmen, but then he went on tc
mention the names of Republican
Senators Mccarthy of Wisconsin
KEN Of Missouri and Jenner OF
Indiana.
The young Michigan Senator
also invited Gov. Stevenson, the
Democratic presidential nominee
to kickoff his campaign with a
Labor Day speech in Detroit-as
President Truman did in 1948.
And he proposed that Gov.
Stevenson challenge Gen. Eisen-
hover to a series of one-hour radio
and television debates during the
coming campaign.
Others See Stevenson.
Senator Moody gave this report
to newsmen after a breakfast at
tended by Gov. Stevenson, Sem
ator Moody, and two defeated
Democratic presidential hopefulS
Hartman and Senator
Richard B. Russell of Georgia.
Mr.. Hartman said he never had
discussed with Gov. Stevenson an
appointment as Secretary of State
land those rumors didn't start
with me-"
He insisted he would continue
as director of the Mutual Security
program, and do all he could to
help Gov. Stevenson in his cam
paign.
The New Yorker campaigned for
his party's nomination on the Fair
Deal program, including an ag-
gressive effort to obtain civil
rights legislation long blocked by
Southern opposition.
Asked how he felt about Gov.
StevenSon's stand on the civil
rights issue, Mr.. Hartman re-
piled: I'm thoroughly satisfied
with his stand on civil rights"
Hits Distortion of Facts.
Senator Moody said he suggest
ed to Gov. Stevenson that "po-
litical integrity" be made major
campaign issue. He said he meant
by this that the Governor should
hit at the G. o. P. "hatchet men, /"
and the "techniques and general
Misrepresentation and distortion
of facts"
AS one example of what he
called misrepresentation and dis
tortion, Senator Moody said the
administrations foreign policy
that had stopped the Reds cold
in Europe and Asia and the Mid
die East" had been made to ap-
pear as though it had been fos-
tered by Communists.
The Senator declined to name
the Ratchet men," but then he
added: TITS going to be a funny
campaign train to see Eisenhower
and Jenner and KEN on the same
back platforms. And I wonder
whether Eisenhower will throw his
arms around Mccarthy and ask
people to vote for my boy. Joe.' +"

President Considering Calling
Congress Into S pecioI Session
If Food Prices Continue Climb
Decision on Suggestion
By ArnuII to Await
Future Developments

President Truman said today he
is considering calling an extra
session of Congress if prices get
out of. hand. ....
He said a decision on calling
back Congress would have to wait
further developments. He added.
however. that prices are being
watched.
The price situation, he said, is
the only problem causing him to
consider special session.
Such session was suggested to
Mr.. Truman yesterday by Price
Stabilizer Ellis Arnall. Mr.. Ar
nall said after a call at the White
House that such session might
be necessary to strengthen the
economic controls law if food
prices continue to surge upward.
No Comment on Resignation.
Mr.. Arnall also is understood to
have asked the President to &C
cept his resignation as head of
the Office of Price Sterilization,
effective September l.
Mr.. Truman had no comment
on this today.
Mr.. Arnall likewise stood on a
mo comment" statement. Associ-
ates speculated however, that Mr..
Truman would not be expected to
accept the resignation while there
was still a possibility of a special
session which Mr.. Arnall had sug-
gested. Some of Mr.. Arnall's
associates said he is extremely
anxious to get back to his private
business affairs.
There was speculation that the
next report of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics giving the cost-of living
index might be decisive in making
up the Presidents mind about
calling a special session.
The latest BIS cost-of living
figure, issued July % and applying
to the price level of June IS,
showed the index at an all-time
high of 1895.
Recalled 4 Years Ago.
Four years ago. after Congress
had quite for the election cam
paign. Mr.. Truman called its
members back into special session
In an attempt to force action on
his domestic program which had
been largely ignored.
Mr.. Arnall said he told Mr..
Truman, 1--WE need a stronger law
to control prices" He said he
suggested that the act is Every
weak due to Gripping amend
ments." Among these factors he
mentioned the decontrol by Con-
gress of fruits and vegetables in
raw and processed forms.
He also mentioned that the
Office of Price Sterilization is I'M
able to do what he called an
effective job because of a slash by
Congress in it's operating funds.
Between now and September l.,
OPS must release more than half
of its 10000 employees in Wash
ington and in about 100 field
offices.
With a skeleton crew in office,
the job (of imitation controD just
can't be DONE" Mr.. Arnall said.
Mr.. Arnall said he told the
President food prices increased a
record ~ per cent between June
IS and July Is. He said that even
after the Korean outbreak food
prices went up only ! per cent a
month.

of their democratic system of gov
