Former President Jrges UN Backing Declares UN Best Vehicle For Peace DENVER (INS)—Former Presl lent Harry S. Truman lumped the United Nations, the atomic age and the Republican administration’s handling of the Salk vaccine program into one outburst in Denver. * “Truman, addressing “some £>oo leading Colorado Democrats at a $25 a plate dinner Tuesday night said he would spend the rest of his life to teach the “next generation how important it is to work for world peace through the United Nations.” The former Democratic president said “with the atomic age, we’re facing the greatest age in the history of the world.” He added: “The only way to prevent destruction is to understand the world is all one community." He cited the UN as being the best vehicle with which to prevent destruction. . Stevenson Speaker ' “fcHItATJELPtHA' (INS) —Adlai Stevenson thinks that effective arms control should be the “very core” of U. S. diplomacy and the _ “very heart of our> communications with other lands." Stevenson told the General Federation of Women’s Clubs in Philadelphia Tuesday night that America’s peaceful purposes have at times “been distorted and obscured by saber rattling and bellicose speeches.” The 1953 Democratic presidential nominee told the delegates the nation should press for disarmament because there are “significant and hopeful signs” tha* the Soviet Union’s attitude on arms control may be changing. Stevenson said he doubted that the differences between democracies and communists would be resolved in our lifetime and added that the U. S.’s efforts must be to make sure that the resolution does not take place In the “old arena.” —; — --i Atom Energy Head To Report To Ike Pressing Problem To Be Discussed WASHINGTON (INS) — President Eisenhower receives a report today from Adm. Lewis L. Strauss that could result in a two-pronged drive to satisfy the desire of Europe on questions of war and peace. The chairman of the atomic energy commission who returned last Friday from a month long tour of Europe was' due at the White House for a half hour session with the Chief Executive. The most pressing problem apparently involves an administration move to head off the increasing desire of the peoples of Europe for a “simple" agreement to ban the testing or use of nuclear weapons. The other question Is how to satisfy the hopes of Europe for peacetime atomic benefits. These hopes, according to - Strauss, have been raised to "unprecedented” heights by Mr. Eisenhower’s atoms for peace pool proposal. Strauss said in a speech at Kansas City Tuesday night that he is confident large scale atomic power can be provided, and that his main concern is over the possibility of an atomic ban. Such a ban, he said, would be the “gravest folly" for the U.S. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
