GOP Labor Policy Scored By Truman Begins Campaign For Democratic Ticket MILWAUKEE (UP) — Former President Truman said he’s not iroing to give the Republicans "hell" in the campaign -*■ "I’m Just going to tell the truth about them.** “They might not think that’s hell,” he said during his day-long stay here Monday, which he capped with an attack op Republican labor policies since Mr. Truman said he waa "already campaigning" for the ticket of Adlai E. Stevenson and Sen. Estes Kefauver in denying to newsmen a rumor that he would not campaign for Stevenson. "Who started that rumor — the Republicans?” Mr. Truman asked. He said the Democrats will win in 1956. and added with a grin, "with my help." The Democratic national ■ committee, he said, has asked him to speak in Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 10 and at St. Louis Sept. 11. On a television show earlier, Mr. Truman told a questioner he was sure Vice President Richard M. Nixon's renomination would "detract” from the GOP ticket. He also gave the date and place o( Nixon's alleged remark that the Democrats are a party of treason. Mr. Truman said Nixon made the remark at Texarkana, Tex., Oct. 27, 1952. "You read that speech and see if I’m not right,” the former chief executive said. Nixon has denied making that remark. In his speech, Mr. Truman prais-

Ward Charges China Report Was Dictated Retired Diplomat Says One - Sided Report Ordered WASHINGTON — (Retired career diplomat Angus Ward charges the state department forced him to "prostitute” hinrself in 1948 in making a one-sided report on Nationalist China. He also charges a state department official accused him in 1945 of being a "disloyal American" because he predicted Russian expansion into the heart of Europe. Ward — recently resigned as ambassador to Afghanistan ending his 31-year diplomatic career—was interviewed in secret last Wednesday by chief counsel Robert Morris of the senate internal security subcommittee. A transcript of the interview was made public today. The Chinese Reds held Ward under house arrest for 14 months after capturing Mukden where he was consul general. He was one of the first Americans to feel the terror of the Red Chinese regime. He told Morris that before his arrest when he returned to Washington in 1948 for consultation a state department superior instructed him to give secretary of defense James Forrestal a one-sided picture of the Chinese civil war. Ward said the official —unidentified in the transcript—told him to talk to Forrestal only about “the extent of the demoralization among the Chinese Nationalists, the extent of corruption and matters of that kind.” The diplomat said he wanted to give Forrestal his “thoughts on the ways in which we could help the Nationalist government of China to better its chances in the war against the Communists.” But he said he “prostituted” himself because he felt obligated to follow instructions or resign. Ward said he predicted in talks with a department official in 1945 “that the Soviet Union in Europe would not be content with anything ehort of a line approximately running from the Baltic to the Adriatic.” Russia bore this out soon afterward. He said the official — also not named — “said he was astounded that I could speak of one of our allies and that in so speaking I was a disloyal American.” The Chinese Reds Unfitly sentenced Ward to prison at a oneday, stacked trial on trumped up, vague charges. However, the sentence was commuted to immediate expulsion. Ward attributed his release to the publicity which the ScrippsHoward newspapers gave his detention. Man Is Fined For Public Intoxication Bud Steele, 66. of Pleasant Mills, was arrested Monday night on a charge of public intoxication. He was found lying on U. S. highway 33 Just northwest of Pleasant Mills. He appeared in city court this morning and was fined $5 and costs.

Illinois Democrats To Name Candidate Seek Replacement In Governor Race SPRINGFIELD, 111. (UP)—The Democratic state central committee met today to name a replacement for Cook county treasurer Herbert C. Paschen who withdrew under fire as candidate for governor last week. The meeting was set for 2 P m. CST, and most of the 25 committee members, including Chicago’s 12 representatives, were not scheduled to arrive until shortly before then. Paschen withdrew from the race last week in the face of investigations into a $29,000 employes’ welfare fund in the treasurer’s office. Each committee member was to cast a vote equal to the Democratic vote in his congressional district in the 1954 primary election. Thus the 12 Cook county members of the committee, led by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, where big Democratic votes are cast, held the power of decision. Daley met with his top lieutenants in the Cook county party Monday, but still gave no hint of who might get the nod from the organization. Earlier Daley met with presidential candidate Adlai B. Stevenson to discuss possible candidates. Most prominently mentioned here and in Chicago as contenders for the nomination were Stephen A. Mitchell, a close friend of Stevenson and former Democratic national chairman, Cook county sheriff Joseph D. Lohman, and Chicago city treasurer Morris B. Sachs who was defeated by Paschen in the April primary. If y'U nave som»vning <c sen o’ oom« for rent, try a Democrat Wan* Ad. It brines tvsolu

Points To Increase In Property Taxes Urge Taxpayers To Attend Hearings INDIANAPOLIS — Walter T. Horn, executive secretary of the Indiana taxpayers association, wonders how much higher property taxes will have to go before owners of homes and farms, make an effective protest. “We have made a sampling of 22 counties,” Horn said, /‘and the advertised budgets of governmental officials show • that it they get the money they want to spend next year, property taxes tn Indiana would go up 16 per cent, or about ?53 millions. Property taxes due this year were $31,444,420 higher than the tax bill tor 1955. The actual increase in Indiana property taxes since 1950 through 1956 has been 57.8 per cent. The proposed levies for 1956 payable ih 1957 would make the increase 83.4 percent. — - “There was a period when property taxpayers were frightened at the threat of a rate of $3 on each SIOO of taxable property. Now. however, the governmental unit with a rate as low as $3 is an exception. If the advertised budget of Dune Acres, Porter county, is finally approved, that town will have a tax rate of $10,185, probably the highest in the history of Indiana. Rocky Ripply in Marion county has a proposed rate of $8.9575. “In Marion county the property taxes payable in 1951 amounted to $32,750,509, but for this year the officials asked for spending authority that would bring next year’s taxes to $66,426,457, an increase of more than 100 per cent. “A rate of $5 for each SIOO of taxable property promises to be the rule rather than the exception next year. Rates of $6 for cities and towns will be common. “Taxes have ceased to pay governmental expenses and the debt to be paid in the future is piling up. Bonds Issued for various improvements and the, many holding

companies put in operation where by money spent e or nurperous activities will have to be repaid in future years. We are not only placing a crushing burden on the taxpayers of today; we are putting an even greater burden on the taxpayers of the future. "Our sampling of advertised budgets for next year indicates that Marion county officials seek to spend sl2 million more of the people’s money. Allen county proposes a tax bill $2 million higher next year than this. Vanderburgh and Porter .counties threaten an increase of approximately $1 million each. "When taxpayers ask what. they can do, we urge Ujejn to attend the public hedfings'on budgets and demand greater economies. All township advisory boards, city councils, town boards and school boards already have reviewed the budgets that come under their jurisdiction and have made some cuts. All county councils meet September 4 to consider the requests of county officials. The county boards of tax adjustment meet September 10. Following their action, the proposed budgets and rates go to the state tax board for final action. "The most effective action possible for those who pay property taxes will be to appear before their respective county boards, of tax adjustment. This will be their final opportunity, on September 10, to protest prior to the time when the budgets and proposed rates go to the state tax board for consideration. Property taxes have already reached the high level where owning homes and farms is almost a luxury. We insist that we are a nation of home owners. If that is to continue we must do something to encourage this trend rather than permit taxes on property to reach the high level where only a few' can afford such ownership. Indiana homes are not threatened by any foreign so they are threatened by the constantly increasing taxes that may make home ownership impossible.” Horseplay With Empty Rifle Causes Death BRAiZZIL, Ind (UP)—Horseplay with an “empty” rifle caused the Labor Day death of Robert Smith. 19, Carbon. Authorities held John Hardesty, 17, Carbon, who they said fired the fatal shot, for the grand jury. Hardesty told police he picked up the .22 caliber rifle after Smith and two teen-age companions teased him about a date. He said he was "sure” no bullet was in the chamber, then squeezed the trigger on a dare.
