To Truman S Criticism

NEW YORK, Feb 20 R.-

sion today of what former Presi-
dent Truman called mistakes
in the Illinoisan's 1852 campaign
as Democratic presidential can
didate.
Mr.. Stevenson acknowledged
there had been poor co-ordina-

and Washington. but said he
had not been aware of it at the
time and regretted 1t now.
He defended his position. how
ever, on several other campaign
phases criticized by Mr.. Truman
in the former Presidents mem
oirS.
Mr.. Stevenson made his reply
in the New York Times, which is
publishing the memoirs.
Mr.. Truman said that Mr..
Stevenson, by appointing Ste
phen A. Mitchell to replace
Frank E. Mckinney as Demo-
cratic national chairman, and by
setting up campaign headquar-
ters in Springfield, H., gave the
impression he wanted to dis
associate himself from the Tru-
man regime.

out of their banks, but no major
river went on rampage.
Several score of families had
10 be evacuated from their homes
In Southern Oregon before the
rains eased and the streams be-
gan receding.
Farther north. where the rain
was light but the snow melt
heavy, three persons lost their
lives in Eastern Washington.

in a flash food near Prosser

routes. The water receded soon,
however, and all major highways
were expected to be re-opened
today.
The Rogue River there, which
surged up to 311a feet in last
December's disastrous floods,
crested at 1912 feet late yester-
day. That was about 2 feet over
food stage, but damage was
minor at that level.

proposed congressional commit
tee to watchdog" the Central
Intelligence Agency probably will
have little effect on the resolu-
ton to set up the committee, its
author said today. Revelation OF
the Presidents opposition was
spanked by series of stories on
the CHA In The Evening Star,
according to Capitol Hill sources,
Senator Mansfield, Democrat
Iof Montana, said the decision on
his resolution was entirely up
to Congress" The President, he
pointed out, does not get a
chance to sign-or veto-such a
resolution.
1t is rare for a President to
take a stand on concurrent
resolutions, as they deal ordi-
lnarily with internal congressional
matters. Backers of the Mans
field bill thought the Presidents
opposition might backfire and
help the measure.
Bridges Discloses Stand

lof New Hampshire, disclosed the
presidential stand yesterday
lie said Senate Minority Leader
Knowland of California told the
10. o. P. Policy Committee IN
closed session that Mr.. Eisen-
hover is very much opposed" to
creation of a CHA watchdog
group and that he believes the
agency is too sensitive" to be
examined by a standing COM
mittee.
The Mansfield resolution.
which has IS bipartisan co-spon-
sors, was approved, Z to 2, by
the Senate Rules Committee on
January rs. Senators Hayden
of Arizona and Hennings Of Mis-
lsouri, both Democrats. voted
against it. The measure would
create a House-Senate commit
tee similar to the Joint Com
Imittee on Atomic Energy. It
would keep a continuing check
|on the CHA, which now is SUPER
Ivised on Capitol Hill only
through intermittent contacts
with House and Senate appro-
priations and armed services
subcommittee.
The bill has been held up in
committee waiting for a minority
report from Senator Hayden.
Formal reporting Of the bill Is
scheduled now for tomorrow.
The Evening Star stories told
of widespread support for the
watchdog proposal among Con-
gressmen of both parties-as well
as grave doubts among many
Congressman that the super
secret intelligence agency should
be subjected to closer scrutiny.
Sidetracking Move Seen
The Hoover Commission last
summer recommended that Con-
gress consider creation Of a
watchdog committee and also
urged that a presidential COM
mission be set up to check the
CHA periodically. The commits
sion was organized-in what
Mansfield bill hackers interpreted
as partially q move to sidetrack
the congressional committee.
Senator Bridges. chairman OF
the Republican Policy Commit
tee, said he would support the
Mansfield resolution unless a
compromise can be worked out
to put Congressman on the
presidential commission.
Senator Butler, Republican of
Maryland, a co-sponsor of the
resolution, said. 1T is the re-
sponsibility and obligation OF
Congress to know what the CHA
lie doing"

than two years it has been In
operation.
At recent hearings by the
House Appropriations Commit
| tee on the 1857 Independent Of
fees bill, the increasing reserves
in the system prompted MEM
beers to ask whether the COM
mission planned to recommend
that benefits for Federal en-
ployes be increased.
Representative Thomas, Dem
ocrat of Texas, chairman of the
subcommittee handling the
money bill, asked If the csc
would recommend to Congress
that the insurance rate charged
employees be decreased or the
amount of life insurance in
creased.
Commission Chairman Young
said it is too early to tell what
should be done with the con-
ltingency reserve fund. He said
one possibility is to use some OF
the excess fund in supplying
Federal workers with some type
Of health insurance.
In its report today. however
the commission made 1t plain 1t
had no intention of recommend
ing an increase in Federal EN-
ploye life insurance benefits or
a decrease in the amount they
are now paying. 1t also made
no mention of utilizing any ex-
cess funds for a possible health
insurance program.
The commission said the sub
stantial margin Of receipts oyer
disbursements had been antici-
pated. But is pointed out the
reserve cannot be considered q
surplus that would justify lib
eraiization of the benefits or re-
duction Of employee withholdings
or agency contributions.
The csc emphasized that the
reserve should be built up as
rapidly as possible in the early
years of the program, since
claims are bound to rise as an
increasing number Of employees
retire or reach the age Of IS. No
premiums are collected from
these groups. which already have
more than $4,000 members.
Liability for insurance held by
retirees is already estimated at

tually be taken from the service.
