The Democrats have shown no

|Monroney Angered
AT 'BeIoW-the-BeIt'
Blast by Dewey
BY the Assoeioted Press

Senator Monroney. Democrat,
of Oklahoma, last night accused
the COP of hitting below the
belt at the entire Democratic
Party" He said some Republic
cans may live to rue it.
Senator Monroney said he was
| particularly disturbed by the
speech of Gov. Dewey of New
York delivered in Connecticut
recently assailing the Truman
administrators handling of the
Korean war.
Gov. Dewey, twice-defeated
COP candidate for President,
said the words Truman and
Democrat" were "synonomous
with Americans dying, thousands
of miles from home, because they
did not have the ammunition to
defend themselves"
Bitter Resentment.
Remember" Gov. Dewey said.
"that the words Truman and
Democrat mean bungling our
country into war and the lack of
courage or the capacity either
to win the war or to win a truce.
Remember that the words
Truman and Democrat mean
diplomatic failure, military fail
ure, death and tragedy"
Senator Monroney said
"Dewey's speech has aroused
bitter resentment among Demo-
Gratis for its unfairness."
The Senator said that at his
suggestion the Senate Demo-
cratic Campaign Committee has
distributed copies of the Dewey
text to all Democratic Senators.
IF DeWey's speech is an indi-
cation of how this football game
is going to be played, we're going
to have to look again at our
downfield blocking" Senator
Monroney said. Democrats can
tackle as hard as Republicans
can"
Urges Party Caucus.
Asked whether his words
meant the Dewey speech might
mean trouble from the Demo-
Gratis for the administrations
legislative program, Senator
Monroney said:
"Of course we will not oppose
the administration on issues that
are good for the country. But
on those things that are rat trap
cheese designed more to help
elect or re-elect Republicans
than to help the people. those
things will be identified"
Senator Monroney, chairman
of the campaign committees
speakers bureau, said he hopes
the Democrats will hold an
early caucus, adding:
"A meeting like that would be
a good idea so that we can re-
port on what we have found in
our travels around the country
and catch up on what has been
said about us"
Senator Monroney said the dis
tribution of Gov. Dewey'S speech
seemed like a good idea because
he has. found that Senators in
their" home States don't always
get the impact of what has been
said by the opposition, in in
stances where only a digest of
the speech is published in their
local newspapers"

Then he invited Frances and
me to come to his boat for a
Christmas drink.
Later we invited Grim and his
wife to our boat. They came,
had a drink or two and left.
Then he returned and became
obnoxious. I finally got him to
leave.
Early in the morning he came
back and became even more OBJ
noxious. My wife and I retired
to our cabin and secured the
door with a hook. He wrenched
the sliding door right out"

Chief Horgan said the doctor
went on the deck, showed Mr..
Grim in an effort to get him off
the boat, and struck him on the
head. Mr. Grim fell overheard
and his body was recovered later. |
Mrs. Fielding-Reid told police
she showed Grim to keep him
from coming back on our boat
to cause further trouble"
