Star Stan Writer

Seven Democratic presiden-
tial hopefuls Joined former
President Truman last night in
an all-out assault on the man
who is virtually certain to be
their opponent in November
Vice President Nixon.
The occasion was a $100-a-
plate dinner that drew $500
of the party faithful to two
banquet halls at the Sheraton
Park Hotel. 1t was the first
big party gathering since Gov.
Rockefeller of New York with
drew from the G.. o. P. race,
leaving Mr.. Nixon the solitary
target for Democratic oratory.
The assembled Democrats
cheered happily as various
speakers assailed the Vice
President as a Juvenile de-
linquent," "a slicker," and "a
man about whom too many
questions remain to be an
swered."
There were many predictions
that Mr.. Nixon could be de-
feated. But Mr.. Truman
sounded the warning that I've
can squander away this op-
portunity (if WEI get into q
contest among ourselves in
stead of concentrating our at
tack on the Republican Party"
Failure to unite on a single
candidate, Mr.. Truman said,
could cost the Democrats their
opportunity to kick out the
worst Government we have had
in this country since Gen.
Grant"
The former President said
he had at this time no COM
mitment to any candidate"
And he urged each of the hope
fuls to "close ranks and get
behind the nominee without
reservations" once the party's
candidate is chosen in Los
Angeles next July.

Mr.. Truman's admonishment

Angry crowds surged through

did not try trading blows with

because of opposition to Gen

Mood for Showdown
The mood in Algiers was for
a showdown between French
settlers who want Algeria to re-
main part of France and De
Gaulle, who insists that eventu-
ally Algeria must be allowed to
decide its own destiny.
The demonstration for Gen
Massu, a hero Of Algeria's one
million Frenchmen, began when
a noisy crowd Of students began
parading down the crowded
Rue Michelet.
Adults swung into the march
until there were about 5000 in
the parade. The police began
moving in when they saw adults
joining the students. None oi

Before the crowds gathered
