CHICAGO, July 20 -i(UP) President Truman let it be known during his visit here that he has "no respect" for the .influence .of metropolitan newspapers on political campaigns or for their political opinions. Mr. Truman took advantage of a reception tendered him by Midwest Democrats last night to rub it into the big papers, most oi which predicted his defeat in last year's election. He spoke extemporaneously and informally at the reception given by Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson, Chicago Mayor Martin Konnelly and Jake Arvey, head of the Cook County Democratic committee. The Chief Executive recalled that in August, 1948, "all the publishers of the United States were of the opinion that a certain country boy from Missouri didn't have a Chinaman's chance to win the election and be President." i The Pope Wonders "I know," he said, "when the president of The New York Times (Arthur Hays Sulzberger) in a reception room of the Pope at the Vatican and who is a very good friend of mine, even if I am a Baptist he told the Pope he could assure him there

was no use of wishing - for my election and that after. Jan. 20 I would not be in . the White ; House." ;'. . "Five days after the election, my representative to the Vatican, Mr. (Myron C.) Taylor-rand an Episcopalian--called on ' His Holiness. The Pope asked why the president of the so-called greatest newspaper in the United States has sent cne-half hour ot his time misrepresenting . the election. "I charged Mr. Sulzberger some later with this. He said he was misinformed because, he said, the newspapermen polled themselves and did not talk to the voters. " ' ,. "I have never been in any bitter campaign when any metropolitan daily has been for me, I have no respect for any of their political prognostication or influence. "And I am still President."

CHICAGO, July 20 (UP) More than 1000 separate disputes between the nation's railroads and 16 non-operating railroad unions .have piled up in the effort to put a 40-hour week into effect, a union spokesman said. George E. Leighty, chairman

of the joint negotiating committee for the unions, said the troubles arose from trying to apply a "master" agreement between the unions and carriers.

The "master" agreement was worked out March 20 after a Presidential emergency board had granted a 40-hour week With 48 hours pay to over 1,000,000 ronoperating workers. It must be incorporated into individual agreements between the unions and some 200 railroads, Leighty said. Leighty is presfdent of, the

! Railroad Telegraphers Union. He

said chiefs of all non-operating unions will meet here Aug.' 1. Meetings with three cailrier committees are scheduled Ax 8 in New York, he said, then further sessions will be held here.

WASHINGTON, July 20 (UP) Secretary of Staie Dean Acheson said today the Communist government of Czechoslovakia seeks "tyrannous domination- of religion," and its actions are "deplored by the government and and people of the United States." In unusually strong terms, he told a news conference that during the past month the "present regime in Prague, has taken further , measures to suppress freedom of religion." . . He said these steps had been taken despite the . fact 'that Czechoslovakia, as an original signer of the UN charter, had undertaken to protect and . defend such freedom. . ' . Catholic priests 'in Czechoslovakia are ' defying the government's order to break off relations with the Vatican and their archbishop, Dr. Beran. They have stated their loyalty to the church in the face of the government's campaign to take over the church. Minister of Justice Alexei Cepicka has called Archbishop Beran a "traitor." He . disclosed last week that a law is being drafted to require government approval of all appointments to church posts, and to take over church property.

Rookie.Of Year

Honor To To One Of

By Oscar Fraley United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, July 20. (UP) The rase for rookie of the year honors was more wide open today than it has been in years, with at least nine candidates battling it out for the freshman crown with the season more than half over. At this point in the pennant parade last year only three Alvin Dark, Richie Ashburn and Gene Bearden still were hustling for the honors. But at the moment there are five American Leaguers and four National Leaguers who have . a chance to win this coveted award with only a very few already eliminated. American ' League candidates are Pitchers Alex Kellner.of the A's, Mike Garcia of the Indians and Mickey McDermott . of the Bosox, and Outfielders Johnny Groth of Detroit and Gus Zernial of the White Sox. The National Leaguers are Pitcher Don Newcombe of Brooklyn, Infielders Eddie Kazak of St. Louis and Willie (Puddin'head) Jones of the Phillies and Outfielder Dino Restelli . of the Pirates. None of them stands much above or behind the others. There seems to be as many arguments for each as there are against. McDermott may not have pitched enough yet and Zernial, out for a long stretch with a cracked collarbone, may not play enough.
