the suit. He referred all questions to his attorney, Henry| Coombs. i
Mr. Coombs declined to say whether other persons or groups| were behind the suit. He main-| tained “it is a personal matter, between attorney and client.” Courthouse observers speculated that the action was brought hy rural forces who attempted to kill the bill at every turn in the last legislature. : The two Democrat county commissioners, Fred Nordsiek and William A.

By United Press MOUNDSVILLE, W.

Her crew of two men and another bachelor girl agreed whole-heartedly. “I haven't had a chance to make a single notation in my journal,” she said. “First we lost an anchor after leaving New Kensington, Pa.

Warns of Red Buildup At Home and Abroad
To Commit Aggression
By JOHN L. CUTTER
United Press Staff Correspondent
DETROIT, July 28—President Truman accused Russia today of planning to plunge the world into war at the same
. time it talks peace in Korea.
Mr. Truman said the Soviet rulers are building military strength at home and in their satellites to a point where “they can commit new acts of aggression at any time.” Ye said they showed “no indication of peaceful intentions.”
The President warned Americans that “we cannot let down our guard, no matter what happens in Korea,” because the threat of Communist aggression still hangs heavily over the rest of the world. Speaking at the 250th birthday celebration of Detroit, mighty center of U. S. military production, Mr. Truman delivered a solemn warning against any letdown in defense mobilization. His speech was broadcast and televised nationally. te Mr. Truman also denounced as “doubters and defeatists” the Republican critics who say his program will bankrupt the nation. He accused them of using “the smear and the big lie for personal publicity and partisan advantage, heedless of the damage they do to the country.” The President did not identify his targets by name. Some of his bitterest critics, however, have been Gen. Douglas MacArthur, whom he fired as Far Eastern commander; Sen. Robert A. Taft (R. 0.) and Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R. Wis.), chief author of the charge that the State Department is riddled with Communists and Red sympathizers.

military readiness,” he said. “In the last several months, the satellite countries in eastern Europe have been forced by the Kremlin to reorganize their armies. The size of these armies has been increased, and modern Russian equipment is being furnished to them in large quantities. “We know that Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary now have armed forces far greater than those allowed under the peace treaties they signed in 1947. “We know also that Romania recently ordered the inhabitants moved out of a stretch of land 30 miles wide, along the Yugoslav border. Bulgaria and Hungary have done the same. Military preparations have been going on in those zones along the border. Actions like these certainly are no indication of peaceful intentions.”
4 Million Under Arms
Mr. Truman said the same sort of thing is happening in other areas of the world under Soviet domination. “The North Koreans and the Chingse Commmunists are getting a steady flow of new equipment from the Soviet Union for ground and air use,” he said. : “The Russians themselves have more than four million men under arms in Europe and the Far East. There are heavy concentrations of Soviet air; land and sea forces in 'the Russian provinces along the Manchurian border, across from Japan, and across from Alaska. | “The dangers in other parts of the world are just as great as they are in Korea,” Mr. Truman said, adding that he gets new reports daily of “Soviet military preparations around the world.” : “If every one of you could see these reports and receive this same information,” the President said, “you would give up any thought that the danger is | over. You would be just as anxious as I am to see that this country builds up its armed forces, equips
| them with the most modern weapons, and helps to
arm our Allies.” : Mr. Truman charged that opponents of his program ate trying to shake the America public's confidence in itself
