WASHINGTON, </P)—President
Truman counseled with Congres
sional leaders of both parties to
day on the world crisis and an

side chat” to the American people
on Friday night. The address is
to be delivered over all networks

American unity it would give to
the rest of the world.
There was promise of other Re
