WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1952 HST Raps ike's Views on Russia ABOARD TRUMAN TRAIN VP) —President Truman charged yes terday that Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower "did a great deal of harm" to the United States with his views on Russia immediately af ter the second world war. The President said the Repub lican presidential nominee "ought to be honest enough to admit his blunders about• the Russians." Eisenhower's views as command ing general in Europe. Truman said, left this country unaware of Russia's threat to world peace. Truman, carrying his whistle stop campaign on behalf of Gov. 'Adlai Ste:benson across Montana, used a rear platform talk at Havre to mount another - barbed attack against the GOP standard bearer. Eisenhower headquarters at New York declined to comment. Says Rough ..Campaign At one point in his Havre talk, Truman said Eisenhower was "glad to get on my bandwagon for foreign policy." In a departure from his pre pared speech, Truman said that in 40 years of politics "I have been in some rough and tough cam-' paigns," but none involving the "lies and .slander" spread by the Republicans , this year. "And before I get through with them, they'll wish they hadn't done it," he snapped. The President declared in his Havre' talk that Eisenhower's "foresight was not nearly as good as his hindsight." Reds Seen As Friends "After the war, while he was still commanding general of our forces in Europe," Truman con tinued, "he said he saw no reason why Russia and the United States would not remain the closest pos sible friends." If Eisenhower had given the country "better advice in 1945," Truman, said, "we wouldn't have had too much trouble in waking up the country to the danger of Communist imperialism in 1946 and 1947 and 1948." "Of course, we can all make mistakes," the President added, "but the Republican candidate was the commanding general in Europe and was in close contact with the Russians. His advice car ried a great weight and it there fore did a great deal of harm." ' Army Officer Ciaims Soviets in Korean War SEOUL (if) A high U.S. Eighth Army officer said Monday 5000 or 6000 Russian technicians and advisers are in North Korea and probably man antiaircraft guns that fire on Allied planes. This is the first time a high, responsible officer has made such a charge although there has been much' speculation. that Russians fly jets• or serve as technical ad visers in antiaircraft, tank and ar tillery units in Korea. 'lf true, much of the Communist antiaircraft defense in Korea is an all-Russian operation, since the source said the . guns were made in the Soviet Union. The officer said in an interview the Russians were in "rear areas", and were used in a' "support ca pacity" by the Communist ar mies in Korea. 'The officer did not discount the possibility that some of the thou §ands of Caucasians he knew to be in Korea were from some of the Eastern European countries behind the_ Iron Curtain. • 3 for theprice of 2 DRY CLEANING SPECIAL Bring your clothes down today_ W.2B2e2aver FROMM'S w. 2:: aver $k THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.

Eisenhower Hits 'Scandaliuma-Day" COLUMBIA, S. C. (I?) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower swept into the Southern states for - the third time yesterday and stirred wave after roaring wave of applause when he said of the Truman regime: "We have an administration which may go down in - history ,as the scanda 1-a-day administra tion." A crowd estimated by 'Colum bia Police Chief L. T. Campbell at "nearly 50,000" massed in front of the •white pillared state capi tol to • hear Eisenhower tear into the Democrats on a wide front of campaign issues. • Hits Whispering The GOP candidate, departing from text, opened his a tech by noting and denying -- what he said are a series of rumors about his intentions, if . elected. He said a whispering campaign has begun to the effect that, if elected., he will close and other wise curtail military installations in the southern . states. Another report, he said.. is_ that he will cut soldiers' and sailors' pay. ' Eisenhower said the rumors were totally false. "Having been la soldier all my life, it is foolish to think I would do anything to weaken the security of the United States " - - Hits Administration Eisenhower hammered hard on the theme of misconduct in pub lic office. He said that the atti ture of people involved is - "as bad or worse than the scandals them selves." He reviewed virtually the whole list of 'GOP accusations against the Democrats. The general said that "a new breed of political philosophers who have had prac tically no faith in the people" have rejected the principle of gov ernment "of and by the people." t itti; flier CIA Chief To Testify in Hearing WASHINGTON (?P)—The House un-American Activities Commit tee decided yesterday to call Gen. Walter Bedell Smith for testimony on what he knows about Commu nist infiltration in government agencies. The announcement came just after Smith, chief of the super secret Central Intelligence Agen cy, had backed a step . further away from his statement that he believes Reds have penetrated every American security agency including his own CIA. The general, elaborating on his original remarks, said merely that it was necessary to "assume" such a thing has happened. At the same time Republicans took up the testimony as a major campaign issue. A statement by Chairman John S. Wood (D-Ga) of the House com mittee, issued in Los Angeles, said: "The committee voted unani mously to subpoena Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, reqUiring him to avp pear before it Oct. 13, 1952, in Philadelphia . .to give the com mittee. the benefit of any 'infor mation of Communist infiltration into agencies of the government of the United States, especially his own." Smith in his new statement said that despite "the most unusual precautions" CIA has never found a Communist in its ranks in the United States. But "we have to act on the assumption that our opponents are at least as smart • as we are," he commented.
