~ Says His Civil Rights “Program Must Win

By MERRIMAN SMITH WASHINGTON, Nov. 11! President Truman said today he feels Congress is duty bound to approve his civil rights program, in view of the Constitution'and “the fundamental faith of this country.” - The President, in an obvious slap at the Iron Curtain countries, also deplored the campaigns “being waged to turn religion into a tool of the state.” Such actions, he said, represent “a new barbarism more terrible than that of ancient times.” Mr. Truman spoke at a lunch- . leon of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, ' after making the traditional Armistice Day call "at the Unknown Soldier in National Cemetery. { ‘Symbolizes Our Faith' “No American® knows,” and no

He Told Truman | To ‘Hold Wire’

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. Nov. 11 (UP)—A somewhat abashed Greeneville hotel manager revealed today that a man he abruptly told to “hold the phone” turned out to, be President Tru-| man.

It happened last: Wednesday said Hotel Manager Fletcher | Breeden, when « the President

[called Ben. Estes KeFauver (DD, {‘Tenn.), in Greeneville to inform [him that Camp Forrest, Tenn, thad ‘heen selected as the site of | the nation’s new air experimental { laboratory. : {| Mr. Breeden said he was oper{ating the hotel switchboard when ‘a White House representative [called .and asked for Sen. Ke-| {fauver, who was then making a

. |speech in the hotel.

- ” . SEN. KEFAUVER got on the {telephone in the lobby but the din 124 voices from the audience he fhad left became so great that he asked that the call be transferred to his room. While Sen. Kefauver was head“ing upstairs the White House put the call through to the President. When a series of “hellos” came baver the line Mr. Breeden told the caller to “hold the phone.” “I didn’t realize at first who it was,” Mr. Breeden said. ' “But =r when the Senator picked. up--the. {phone in his room and the fire {thing he said ‘was °‘A}l right, Mr President
