Truman Flails
Administration’s
Policies in Gdv’t.
BALTIMORE, UP* — Harry S.
Truman criticized, chided and
ridiculed the Republican Admin
istration Friday night on subjects
ranging from the Formosa crisis
to the removal of his picture from
the White House wall.
A bit weary after several days
of vigorous stumping on behalf
of Democratic candidates in the
Nov. 4 elections, the 73-year-old
former President attracted 2,010
to a party fund raising dinner.
The Republicans “tried to dis
count and discredit everything”
he had done while in office, Tru
man told the $100-a-plate audi
ence, biggest ever to attend a
Maryland political dinner.
But this backfired, he said, cit
ing the present Far East program
as an example.
“They ordered the 7th Fleet out
of the Formosa Strait,” he said.
“They were going to unleash
Chiang Kai-Shek and let him go
take the Chiha mainland. But then
they had to move the fleet right
. back in again.”

SAN FRANCISCO, UP) — The
Governor, of Hawaii and a former
Governor of Alaska agreed the
future lies in the Pacific — but
for different reasons.
“Atomic tests at Eniwetok,
Johnson and Christmas are sym
bolic of the significance of the
Pacific future,” Gov. William
Quinn told 1,000 guests at a
Commonwealth Club luncheon
celebrating the Pacific Festival.
Now that Alaska almost has
become a state, natural resources
assume major prominence, de
clared Mike Stepovieh, former
Governor and now a candidate
for the U. S. Senate.
“We are right in the middle of
the biggest oil exploration boom
in the history of the United
States,” he said. “Japanese busi
nessmen have also shown an in
terest recently in the development
of our large coal deposits.
“In my opinion, the potential
development of Alaska’s resources
is almost beyond estimation.”
Quinn stressed the need for Ha
waiian statehood, not only be
cause “the people of Hawaii over
whelmingly” want it, but to woo
the sympathies of Asian coun
tries.
The Asians don’t understand
America, he contended, and many
feel that the United States is a
“nation of racists who are dedi
