By United Press . WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 —

President Truman said today he still believes Congressmen and

make public their entire financial status.

Mr. Truman made the state-|

ment at a news conference at which he had no comment on the expense fund of Sen. Richard M. Nixon (R. Cal). However, he suggested that reporters read a message he sent to Congress on Sept. 27, 1951. | In that message, Mr. Truman recommended that Congress enact legislation “requiring officials in all branches of the government to place on the public record each year full information concerning their incomes from all sources, public and private.” | Mr. Truman said in the message he believed that would be an important step in “assuring the integrity of the public service and in protecting government officials against false and unfound-

ed charges of improper conduct.” $12,500 plus a $2500 thx-free ex-lvem

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 (UP) — President Truman re-

today in commenting on Re-

publican criticism of Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson's campaign quips.

Mr. Truman volunteered at a news conference what he called an admonition from Matthew VI. He then quoted: “Be not, as the hypocrites, sad of countenance.”

He said that he still stood behind the message. Mr. Truman defended his action of placing Mrs. Truman on his office payroll while he was a Senator. He said it was exceedingly difficult for a Senator to liye in Washington on the salary he got in those days and that Mrs. Truman helped pay the board) bills by working in his office. (During his 10 years in the Senate, Mr. Truman's salary was

Sen. Capehart Is ‘Forgotten’

- . Not Called on for Campaign Speeches

Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R., Ind.) appears to be the “forgotten man” in this year's election campaign, but he said today he will speak “any place, anytime anybody wants me to.”

Indiana’s senior senator hasn't made one major speech — and has none scheduled — in behalf of his party and Hoosier colleague, William E. Jenner, who is waging the biggest re-election battle of his career. . Eight U. 8. Senators will beat. the drums for Sen. Jenner at “Bill Jenner Day” ceremonies throughout the state Oct. 9-10, but Sen, Capehart is not among them. “Nobody told me anything about it,” he said when asked by a newsman. He said Indiana's GOP speakers’ bureau didn’t schedule him “for one. speech, but I'll speak anyplace, anytime anybody wants me to.” '

Maybe Next Month

State Sen. Wesley Malone, Clinton, co-chairman of the speaker's bureau, said county leaders want appearances by the candidates themselves. He said no one so far requested Sen. Capehart as speaker, but added there may be a demand for office-holders next month when the campaign reaches its climax and there are! not enough candidates to go! around. Sen. Capehart’s inactivity is not based on reluctance by the candidates to have him stump in their behalf, Mr. Malone said. Some observers recalled, however, that Sen. Capehart was criticized by fellow Republicans for what they called attempts to “control” the state nominating convention. Sen. Capehart recently returned from an extensive European trip. He then attended an international bank and monetary conference at Mexico City. He rode on Dwight Eisenhower's presidential campaign train across northern Indiana last week, and again at Evansville Monday. .

By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 25—-Willilam T. Evjue, editor and publisher of the Capital Times of Madison, Wis., charged today that “political demagogues” in the United States Senate were using communism as a “scare “word” to divert attention from self-serving activities which could pave the way for communism in this country. ‘Mr. Evjue named Sens. Joseph R. McCarthy (R. Wis.), Bourke P. Hickenlooper (R. Iowa), William E. Jenner (R. Ind.), Harry P, Cain (R. Wash.) and Harry F. Byrd (D. Va.) as “the men who will be found continually voting on the side of the powerful special interests.” “They seized communism as an issue to divert the attention of the people from their service to self and privilege,” Mr. Evjue said in an address prepared for delivery before the Sidney Hillman Foundation. “Meanwhile, they can always be depended upon to vote against all measures to make life better for more people and to insulate them against communism.”

Awards Dinner

Fhe editor was principal speaker at ceremonies presenting the

and book reporting in the name of the late president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers and CIO leader. Awards of $500 each were presented to Carl T. Rowan, Negro reporter for the Minneapolis Tribune, for a series on race relations, in the South based on his own trip through southern states; Arthur D. Morse, free lance writer, for his article “Who Is Trying to Ruin Our Schools?” in McCall's Magazine of September, 1951, and Alan Barth, editorial writer for the Washington Post, for his book “The Loyalty of Free Men.” Mr. Evjue said the “weapon of fear” historically had been used by the entrenched economic order “to divert the attention of the people from the pillaging and looting carried on behind the walls of secrecy in government.”

Attacks McCarthy

He said the present use of communism to foster that fear had been “made possible, in large part, by the consummate demagogery of the Senator from my state” who, in 1949, “knew he was a dead duck politically unless he could find some way to divert the attention of the people from his minerable record.” Mr. Evjue said communism is “the giant problem facing a free world today.” But, he said, “it will not be solved by the scheming politician on an Un-American

Reason must supplant demagoguery . , .” He sald another depression could bring communism to this country as hunger and poverty brought it to Russia and as poverty and hunger brought it to China. / The best insurance against it, he said, is protection against dependency in old age, unemployment, loss of savings, and provision for decent housing, medical care, and educational opportunity. “Have you ever seen any evidence of any devotion to this type of insurance against communism on the part ‘of McCarthy, Jenner and their interest-serving colleagues in’ the Senate?” he asked.

were to start their testimony in| Federal Court here today. Cox, a Sullivan “herb doctor,”} was accused in a grand jury in-

dictment of selling his mixtures in interstate commerce although they bore improper labels. The jury trial started Monday. Before the government rested its case yesterday, an Indianapolis drug expert and a federal food and drug official testified the potions sold by Cox were of no value in the treatment of diabetes, one of the diseases for which “patients” bought potions from Cox. .

‘No Value’

Dr. Robert L. Grant, federal pharmacologist from Washington, D. C., testified tests made with a dog and rabbit proved the product valueless. Dr. R. N. Harger, of the Indiana University Medical Center, also testified to the mixtures lack of medicinal value. During the late afternoon session, several Illinois physicians testified a woman once delayed an operation three years while she attempted to cure cancer with Cox’ treatment.
