Taft Blasts Truman Gibes
Defends Congress In Three Speeches
PHILADELPHIA, June 12 (UP) — Sen. Robert A. Taft rested his defense of the B0th Congress today with an appeal to the people to give it a vote of confidence by electing a Presi. dent that will carry out its program. ! Sen. Taft, the Republican policymaker in the Senate and one of the leading candidates for the GOP presidential nomination, went on the air (NBC) last night
to defend Congress against President Truman's charges that it was the “worst” in history,
He accused Mr. Truman of
“blackguarding Congress-at every —
whistle station in the West.., for the simple reason that Con. gress happens to differ with him In his whole philosophy of gove ernment” . Sen. Taft called Mr. Truman “the gallivanting President” and assailed. him for traveling about the country in a 15-car special train at the taxpayers’ expense,
President His Target Ben. Taft made three speeches
and the President was his special
target in all of them. He spoke first at a luncheon at the Union League Club. Then he repeated his charges at a Junior Chamber of Commerce dinner. Later, he condensed both talks into a 15+ minute radio address. : He sald President Truman's “worst Congress” crack “gives
government, as do Communists, Fascists and every believer in a totalitarian state”
He blasted the President's leg-
stage curtains at the Murat. At/islative program, saying it would Teatro Belles Artes, where he CTeate a nation “completely reg. conducted in Mexico City, the cur-
