GOP Criticism Of
Truman Admin.
6Just Giving Facts’
WASHINGTON, W»— President
Eisenhower’s press secretary said
Tuesday that Republican criticism
of the Truman Administration
amounts to “just giving the people
the facts.”
James C. Hagerty, the secretary,
made that observation to news
men as Democrats snapped back
at Republican accusations that the
administration of former Presi
dent Truman had opened the gates
to Communists who betrayed
security secrets to Russia.
Hagerty was asked at a news
conference whether the White
House had any comment on com
plaints by emocrats that the Re
publicans have been making “das
tardly” attacks on the previous
administration.
Hagerty replied at first that he
had nothing to say on the matter.
Asked whether he looked for
the Republican “attacks” to con
tinue, Hagerty said:
“I don’t think they are attacks.
I think they are just giving the
facts.”
