U.S. Angered As Red Demand To Recall Envoy Drafting Angry Note To Protest Demand For Kennan Recall A WASHINGTON, (UP) — The United States today drafted an angry note to Moscow protesting the “shameful" unprecedented demand soy immediate recall of Ambassador George F. Kenner. Amerlea’s' topmost expert on Soviet afairs. ' ' ' k From President Trman and secretary of state' Dean Acheson down through? state department ranks, tempers were high over the Kremin’s blunt order. ’ Stiff retaliatory measures were reported under;close study, including the possible demand for the outer from this country of new Russian ambassador Gebrgi N. Zarubin, who presented his diplo- J matic credentials to Mr. Trumab just 10 days ago. No serious - thought was given, however, to a final break in diplomatic relations With the Soviet Union. Western observers in Moscow said there was ■no reason why chilly, formal relations could not continue indefinitely between the 'United States and Russia, at least ‘until after the American elections. They believed, .however, that the U. S. embassy staff would be reduced. . ‘ ■ I . ’ State department officials said this government definitely would take these twin actions: 1, Denounce the "rude” Kremlin decision to oust Kennan as invalid, unjustified, improper and a reflection on (he Soviet Union’s peace propaganda campaign. Authorities said an American note outlining this government s - ire probably would be delivered early next week. 2. Rejection of Soviet charges that Kennan made "completely ..false and hostile” statements against the Soviet Union will be backed up by this government’s refusal to appoint a new ambassador to Russia until after inaugu ration of a new U. S. president next Jan. 20. ffl ‘Jf - r ' , High state department officials said it had been decided not to defy the Soviet recall demand by ordering Kennan, who is Vacation-' ing in Geneva, j Switzerland, to try % to return to Moscow. They s*aid this would be; a "futile gesture 1 ’ . since the Kremlin has declared Kennan personally unacceptable to the Soviet Kennan js expected to return to Washington in about two Weeks for tations" with Mr. Truman and Acheson. « INDIANA WEATHER \ Mostly fair and cooler tonight an‘d Sunday.

UP — President Truman today shrugged off Republican criticism that his attacks on Dwight D. Elsenhower are beneath the dignity of the President, and an aide said the complaints showed Mr.; Truman was getting under the OOP’s skin. White House aides said that Mr. Truman despite any criticism, intends to continue blasting the former five-star general and try to prove him unfit to be president. ;\ Neither is Mr. Truman concerned about .the possibility of a lasting rift in the personal friendship which once existed between himself and Eisenhower, i the aides said. Mr. Truman arrived here. Friday night from the Pacific Northwest on his hard-swinging “(live j’em hell” \ whistle-stop tour in behalf of "Gov. Adlai E. Stevehson. ‘ The President continued to calf Eisenhower unfit to be president. Because of what Mr. Truman balls his military mind and background, his ignorance of government administration and the civilian economy. , ’ The President’s theme was that 'Eisenhower, who write in his book on Wdrld War II that Mr. Trdman once offered to help him get the Democratic presidential nomination, had now “surrendered" to Republican “old guard reactionaries.” j'|l ’ ■!. Members of Mr. Truman’s staff said he considered Republican cries of “uhdignified” campaigning as proot that they art-■ being hurt. ■“And that’s what he slet out to do,” <me aide said.

Four Yankee Regulars Now On Injury List Joe Black Slated To Go After Second Triumph Os Series NEW YORK. (N. Y. (UP) --The Brooklyn Dodgers were favored to win the World Series first time today as they named rookie Joe Black to attempt to repeat his opening day victory over veteran Allie Reynolds and give them a 3-1 edge over the crippled NewYork Yankees. I Following Friday’s 5-3 victory gave them a 2-1 margin in the series and a wave of injuries to four Yankee regulars, the Dodgers were rated 6-5 favorites to ;wm their first world championship in six tries. The Yankees, - however, were rated 8-5 favorites to wip today's fourth game at Yankee stadium. Another crowd of about 66.000 - Was expected at the stadium to see the battered and bruised “Old. Champs” attempt to even the series. The Yankees also trailed, two games to, one, last year, only to go on to win the next three games from the Giants. The Yankees, however, were, never in worse physical condition to defend their world championship. Four regulars — catcher Yogi Berra, center fielder Mickey Mantle, second baseman Billy Martin and third baseman Gil McDougold — were nursing injuries and one or more were likely to missthe fourth game. the Yankees’ star catcher and most dependable long-ball hitter, was nursing a split index finger on his left hand,-a souvenir of Friday’s passed ball incident which gave the Dodgers their two deciding runs. Mantle, the brilliant young center fielder, complained that his left knee was “acting up.” Martin, hk by a foul tip off his own bat Friday, reported that his left knee was in bad shape. And McDougald said his left wrist was stiff and badly swollen. It was almost certain that Manager Casey Stengel would press Mantle, Martin and McDougald into service. But Berra’s chances of playing were only about 50-50. ‘*lt hurts real bad,” the stocky catcher said early this morning. “I know it will hurt at game time. i\ I just don’t know if I’ll be able to play.” *

Stengel announced that 27-year old right handed hitting Charley Silvera would catch for the Yankees if Berra is unable to ansWer the call. Whatever psychological edge ■either team might have undoubtedly belonged to the Dodgers after beating the Yankees In their home park yesterday. Once again, they demonstrated their all-around class—given the basic necessity of sound pitching. * - Preacher Roe, although the wildest pitcher seen in a World Series since Carl Erskine, managed to pitch his way out of frequent jams and won the game Dressen had saved for him. The impressive thing about the Dodgers victory was the constant pressure they exerted on Ed Lopat through their right handed power and their swift, aggressive baserunners. i ■ | Says Enemy Must Be Defeated In Korea \ SAN FRANCISCO, UP — The Communists do not Want peace in Korea and the only way to 'end the' Korean war honorably is to “defeat the enemy/* says Gen.
