BULLETIN WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 (UP)~—President Truman will make a statement on the impending railroad strike at 3.
p.- m,, Indianapolis time. the White House announced.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 (UP) ~The chiefs of two railway unions today denounced as “100 per cent false” any statement that they promised the White
strike. They made the statement in a telegram ‘to President Truman even as the President conferred with Attorney General J. Howard McGrath and other cabinet members on steps to prevent the walkout. The odds favored government seizure. Mr. McGrath wouldn't say. President Truman himself told a news conference yesterday that the unions called a countrywide strike scheduled for 6 a. m. local standard time Monday-—an hour after giving assurances they would not.

Deadly Competition for Slice of Budget
Competition for headlines is deadly serious. All services confidently expect to convert their Korean record into dollars in upcoming $50 billion defense budgets. Soon after the shooting started, the Navy sent its ace trouble shooter, Capt. Charles Duffy, to Tokyo. He was followed in a few days by Capt. Walter Karig, author of the Navy's authorized World War II “Battle Reports.” They make a good team. Capt. Duffy is a slugger, Capt. Karig is the diplomat. The Air Force promptly put Col. William Nuckols on their trail. Col. Nuckols, who had been scheduled to go to Mexico City as military attache, was top press man under Steve Leo in the Sym- - ington administration. Like Capt. Duffy, he is'a hard hitter, Ironicall. the = Marines—who have been getting the best breaks ~—have done the Jeast in Juting out publicity.
