WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 (/P)—President Truman told the American people tonight they are on the way to victory
in the cold-vwar with Soviet Russia without an atomic conflict that might “dig the grave of the free world and com
munism alike. We have set the course that can win,’ he said.

Gives Farewell Addrei
Ex-Nazis Fail
In Try to Grab
German Power
BONN, Germany, Jan. 15 (A 5 ) —
British authorities today clapped
into jail seven former Nazis sus
pected of a “potentially very dan
gerous” Nazi-Communist plot to
seize power in West Germany.
The accused men, including two
named to high office in Hitler’s
will, were seized in raids by Brit
ish police.
The British said the suspects
had been in contact with ex-Nazis,
and possibly-, Communists in other
countries, both East and West.
Squads of investigators went to
work tracing the ramifications of
the movement.
The British high commissioner,
Sir Ivone Kirkpatrick, who or
dered the arrests under his occu
pation powers, said the plotters
represented a threat to the se
curity of the-400,000 Allied troops
in West Germany.
“These leading Nazis were plot
ting to regain power,” he said.
“And they were potentially very
dangerous.”
He told reporters that the inci
dent should not be exaggerated
and said it should have no effect
whatever on Allied plans to make
West Germany an independent
and armed ally in a six-nation
European Army.
However, new doubts about the
wisdom of rearming the Germans
developed immediately in France,
never highly enthusiastic over the
idea. All Paris newspapers front
paged the news under scare head
lines such as “Nazi plot unveiled”
and “Hitlerian plotters preparing
to seize power.”
Navy Orders Rockets
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 (JP)—
The Navy said tonight it has
ordered four more Martin Viking
rockets capable of climbing 200
miles into space.

In his farewell address, broadcast from the White House by coast-to-coast radio and TV net
works, the President declared his belief that American intervention in Korea has dashed Russia’s
hope of easy conquest and may have averted a third world war “ as far ahead as man can see.”
And to those impatient with the world-wide struggle against communist —to those who ask,
“Why don’t we get it over with?
Why don’t we issue an ultimatum,
make an all-out war, drop the
atomic bomb?” Truman de
clared
Trying io Prevent .War
“For . most Americans,'the an
swer is quite simple: we are not
made that way. We are a moral
people. Peace is our goal, and
justice and freedom. We cannot,
of our own free will, violate the
very principles that we are striv
ing to defend.
“The whole purpose of what we
are doing is to prevent the World-
War 111. Starting a war is no way
to make peace.
“But if anyone still thinks that
just this once, bad means can
bring good ends, then let me ,re
ihind you of this: we are living
in the eighth year of" the atomic
age. We are not the only nation
that is learning to unleash the
power of the'atom. A third world
war might dig the grave not only
of our Communist opponents but
also of our own society, our world
as well as theirs.”
To Leave For Missouri
As in his State of the Union
message, Truman forecast that the
Soviet system will ultimately
crack up or its leaders will change
their policies. He said that in the
long run free-society “will pre
vail over a system that has re
spect for neither God nor man.”
■Truman will leave the White
House for the last time as Presi
dent shortly before noon next
Tuesday to ride with President
elect Eisenhower to the oath
taking ceremonies on Capitol Hill.
Then he will depart by train for
his home in Missouri.
'No Job Like It'
In his prepared sueech, Truman
once again pledged his support to
Eisenhower and strongly urged
the support of all other Ameri
cans. “There is no job like it on
the face of 'the earth—in the
power which is concentrated here
at this desk and in the responsi
bility and difficulty of the decis
ions,” he said.

into Union Station and partially wrecked the huge building in the

mowed.down the station master’s
office, swept away a steel fence
that keeps visitors from going out
to the trains, demolished a giant
news stand and then crashed
through the floor of the concoufse
to the basement.
Engineer Praised
The train was the Pennsyl
vania’s Railroad Federal Express
from Boston, due here at around
8:30 a.m., EST. Some spectators
said it must have been going 50
miles an hour when it plunged
off the end of the rails.
Railroad officials said only
quick action by the engineer,
Henry W. Brower, 66, and the
crew saved the wreck from turn
ing into a major catastrophe.

on the 150-ton electric locomotive
failed.
Passengers Warned
But it said that Brower, warn
ing with his horn that his brakes
would not hold and his train was
out of control, enabled station of
ficials to clear the concourse of
persons who otherwise would be
directly in front of the locomotive.
The railroad said injuries among
the estimated 400 passengers, on
the train were lessened by warn
ings from crew men that they
should clear the aisles and should
keep seated.
The time, too, kept down the
injuries. Often during the day
the concourse, a block long roofed
room, is jammed with friends and
relatives waiting for, or seeing
off, passengers.
