(Byrnes, now governor of South
Carolina, issued a statement call
ing this incident “absolutely un
true.”)
He viewed one of his own cab
inet members—Henry A. Wallace,
whom he fired—as a “dreamer”
more dangerous to the country
than the old German-American
Bund.
(Wallace said at his home in
South Salem, N.Y., that if the
President ever admits this is a
reference to him “ Ishall charge
him with the same deliberate
character assassination which he
finds so despicable in others.”)
This 253-page book, a best sell
er even on the basis of pre-pub
lication orders, adds up to a cam
paign document that the Demo
crats can use whether Truman
wins the nomination or not.
There are only fleeting and non
committal references to Gen. Ei
senhower.
After World War II, Truman
praised Eisenhower to the skies
and promised to help him get any
thing he wanted — including the
presidency in 1948.
Now, in 1952, Eisenhower is in
the running for the Republican
presidential nomination although
not personally an active candi
date.
And Truman, in the new book,
does not mention Eisenhower on

Military Speed Drugs To
Forestall Epidemic Among
Point Barrow Sled Dogs
HQ Alaskan Command, Elmen
dorf Air Force Base, (AMNS)—
Prompt military aid in the form
of airborne drugs Tuesday pre
vented the spread of an epidemic
which threatened to destroy most
of the 500 sled dogs in the Point
Barrow area.
The Army provided the drugs.
The Air Force and the Navy
teamed in delivering the vital
medicines to this northernmost
American settlement on the
shores of the Arctic Ocean.
A radio message from the ANS
elicited the assistance of Lt. Col.
Robert C. Stokes, U.S. Army Al
aska, of Friona, Texas. After con
sulting Army and Air Force vet
erinarians, Colonel Stokes im
mediately directed a shipment of
sulfadiazine, penicillin, strepto
mycin, and thiamin chloride be
prepared. An Air Force aircraft
piloted by 1st Lt. Jack M. Wrin
kle, of Spokane, Wash., delivered
the drugs to Ladd Air Force Base,
Fairbanks, where they were
placed aboard a U.S. Navy air
plane for the final leg of the 700
mile airlift.
his list of the “greatest generals”
while saying Gen. Bradley, chair
man of the joint chiefs of staff,
“tops them all.”
Truman records that he has had
to fire some of his top aides be
cause they got “too big for their
breeches,” and he gives this ac
count of a 1945 talk with former
President Hoover:
“We discussed our prima don
nas and wondered what makes
them. Some of my boys who came
in with me are having trouble
with their dignity and preroga
tives. It’s hell when a men gets
in close association with the
President. Something happens to
him.”
Something happens to the Presi
dent, too, once the White House
gates close behind him.
Truman records the dreariness
i
of dining in state alone: “What a
life.”

Flock of Giant Snow
Geese Set Off Radar Air
Raid Alarms In Korea
SEOUL, Korea, {JP) — Allied
guns routed 1,000 Chinese Reds
who tried to punch through U.N.
lines on the western front before
dawn Tuesday.
A. U.S. Eighth Army staff of
ficer said the scattered attacks
along a four-mile sector north
west of Korangpo failed to dent
the Allied line. The area was the
scene of bitter fighting last De
cember and January.
A flock of giant snow geese set
off air raid sirens in Seoul early
Tuesday morning.
At 2:30 a.m. radar observers re
ported “unidentified targets”
sweeping in from the sea off In
chon at about 85 miles an hour.
Interceptor pilots saw nothing,
but radar plotted the flight di
rectly overhead. As the “targets”
swept back toward Inchon, anti
aircraft guns prepared to open
fire.
Then huge searchlights outlined
the geese and the “raid” was over.
