Federal employe benefits.
Mr.. Truman was the first
President to devote a major
speech to a ringing defense of
Federal employees and to strike
back at some of their critics.
This often is not the most popu-
lar thing to do politically, but
President Truman did not hesi-
tate.
Mistakes have been made in
personnel management during
the past seven years and a lot re-
mains to be accomplished. But
a lot Of constructive things were

Dawson also did an excellent job.
Mr.. Dawson was controversial
figure on Capitol Hill in connec-

fact remains that he performed
his job as the White House per-
sonnet man faithfully and well.

insiders say the reason Presi-

yet selected the chairman of the

several top-f1ight men to whom

Congress Gets Details
Of Propaganda Drive
ey the Associated Press

DR.. Wilson Compton reported
today that the American "psy-
Geological offensive" he directs
is gaining on most but not al
foreign fronts.
DR.. Compton is chief of the
State Departments Internation-
al Information Administration
which operates the Voice OF
America and other agencies. His
semiannual report was sent tc
Congress by Secretary of State
Acheson.
His report concluded with two
recommendations:
l. 1--WE should maintain and
increase our efforts to reach be-
hind the iron curtain,
2. 1--WE must demonstrate our
decent and constructive purposes
so effectively that we will inspire
the confidence of people in other
countries and their great willing
! ness to join with us in develop
ing world community of free
nations"
DR.. Compton said a general
reorganization is under way
which will require at least 18
months. to sharpen the effects
of American propaganda in areas
where it may lag. The overseas
information program currently
reaches 88 countries. Those ad-
joining or near the iron curtain
are rated high priority targets

/ ne had in mind no one individual,
but that he made the statement
because military men, as we'll as
other Government officials, have
been, from time to time, sub
mitted to unfair and malicious
attacks"
Mr.. Truman was asked what
type of hat he will wear for the
Eisenhower Inauguration. He
said he hadn't given much
thought to that but that he
would wear anything that con-
forms to decency. His objective,
he said, is to turn over his office
as easily and as expeditiously as
possible. These are days of all
sweetness and light. Mr.. Truman
said, and he does not wish to get
into any controversy.
After answering, some serious
questions about the disposition
of tidelands oil properties and
other things, Mr.. Truman was
asked if he would be accessible
to reporters when he returned to
private life. He said he is al
ways accessible-easier to see, in
fact, than an assistant to an
assistant secretary, or the editor
of your paper.
Mr.. Truman said he has not
made up his mind just what he
will do in the future. but he will
not be an editor or get a fat job
with an insurance company.
Would he run for the Senate
from Missouri? Well, there will
not be a vacancy there for four
years. He said facetiously that
the ex-President probably will be
around begging meals after next
Tuesday.
In a serious vein, Mr.. Truman
said he has received plenty of
invitations. The presidency he
continued, is the greatest office
in the world and to serve in it
is the greatest honor that can
ever come to a man. No one
should ever exploit the Office.
Mr.. Truman was asked about a
proposal he had made that ex-
Presidents should automatically
get seats in the Senate. He
pointed out he had made the
suggestion while in the Senate
and that now he is in no position
to comment on it. But, he said
he had made good use of the only
living ex-President, Herbert
Hoover, who among other things,
had performed momentous
service as chairman of the Com
mittee on Government Reorgani-
Zation.
The President ended the ses-
sion with the hope that his sue
ceSsor will get as much fun out
of news conferences as he has
received.

Text Of Presidents Address to Motion
Lost Night. Poge ALI
talk to the Nation via radio and
television from his White House
desk last night.
1t was a more personal speech
in both tone and composition-he
wrote most of it himself in long
hand-than any of the "set" ad-
dresses delivered by Mr.. Truman
during his nearly eight years as
President. And it was a friendly
talk. manifesting no bitterness
toward any one or anything but
the menace of communism.
He described the Communist
menace and our fight against it
as 1.-THE overriding issue of our
time" Hardly one of his days
in office, he said, has not been
dominated "by this all-embrac-
ing struggle - this conflict be-
tween those who love freedom
and those who would lead the
world back into slavery and
darkness"
But when history says that
my term of Office saw the be-
ginning of the cold war" the
President declared. lit will also
say that in those eight years
we have set the course that can
win it,"
He added that he has mot a
doubt in the world" that event.
ually there will be shift in
Soviet policies-whether as a re-
suit of revolution or a change in
the Kremlin he could not say
that will mean "our ideals" will
prevail.
Mr.. Truman spoke out against
the idea of a preventive war to
hasten an end to the struggle,
with communism as "unthink-
able" for rational men in this
atomic age.
He said, on the other hand.
that determination of the Amer
ican people Ito do what is neces-
sary to win this terrible fight
against communism" will be
Gen. EisenhoWer's greatest
source of strength in carrying
on this STRUGGLE"
Getting entirely away from the
bitterness of the political cam
paign. Mr.. Truman said he was
glad to wish Gen. Eisenhower
all possible success"
I'VE must all give him our sup
port as citizens of the United
States" he added. "He will have
mine. and I want you to give
him yours"

Some Atomic Ships
Seen by KimbaII
Within 10 Years

WIIIIIu ~ IEdIS
The Navy probably will be well
on its way to an atomic-powered
feet within 10 years. in the
opinion of retiring Navy Secre-
tary Kimball.
Mr.. Kimball, at a farewell
Pentagon news conference yes
terday. foresaw a fully atomic
power fleet Just as sure as you
are sitting here"
The retiring Secretary, who
plans to return to the vice presi-
dency of General Tire &
Rubber Co., has laid down a
plan for twelve 6O.O00-ton For
restal-class aircraft carriers over
the next II years. He said yes
terday he hopes at least eight
of them will be atomic powered
Two of the giant warships-
the Forrestal and Saratoga
already are underway, and
President Truman's military
budget now before Congress con-
tains funds for a third. The
first two are being built in East
Coas tyards, but Mr. Kimball
said it is hoped that at least 40
per cent of them will be built on
the West Coast.
Seeks Medals Change.
At another point, Mr.. Kimball
said he does not favor the So
called arithmetic" method of
handling our military medals.
He said he has asked the Navys
Board of Decorations to come
up with some other plan.
Under the present system. an
Air Medal is given automatically
for five combat flights, and a
Distinguished Flying Cross, after
20 flights. 1t was under that syS-
tenn that Senator Mccarthy, Re-
publican, of Wisconsin, recently
was awarded several such medals
for flights he said he took as a
Marine Corps intelligence Off
Ger in the South Pacific during
World War II.
800 Red Subs.
Mr.. Kimball said the best
Naval Intelligence reports were
that Russia had we'll over 300
submarines and that one-third
of them are snorkels. He added
they are building more"
Mr.. Kimball was questioned at
length on the failure of Navy
promotion board to recommend
the promotion to rear admiral
of Capt. H. G. Rickover, the sea
arms expert on atomic power,
who has had a large hand in the
development and design OF the
first atomic powered submarine
now underway.
He said he personally favored
the promotion and praised the
captain highly. However. he said
he did not feel it was fitting for
a civilian secretary to interfere
with the Navy's long standing
promotion system.
Il would not impose my per-
sonal feelings" he declared.
THE system calls for officers to
be Judged by fellow officers who
know them, and I am against
any change in that"
Could Blockade China.
The secretary said the Navy
could impose a blockade of
China. If ordered to-" without
any increase in its present
strength of 409 Warships.
Fleet Admiral King. wartime
Chief of Naval Operations, ad-
vocated such a blockade recently,
but Mr.. Kimball said he had not
had an opportunity to read the
King interview and that it was
not cleared through his office.
