President Foresees
Lasting Peace
WASHINGTON, (£>)—President
Truman told a birthday news con
ference Thursday that he is cer
tain that the world eventually
will achieve a lasting peace.
Summing up the two years since
he announced victory over Ger
many May 8, 1945, Mr. Truman
said the country has surmounted
many obstacles and that he is con
fident of its ability to survive
others.
Mr. Truman also touched on af
fairs at home, saying:
1— He will try to get Congress
to approve a universal military
training program before it ad
journs this summer.
2— His views on prices were ex
pressed in his recent address to
the Associated Press in New York
and he still is very much pleased
with reaction to his call for lower
prices.
The President who was 63 yes
terday, made it clear that until
peace is consummated, he has no
intention of withdrawing Myron
C. Taylor as his personal envoy
to the Vatican.
Mr. Truman was told that the
president of the Southern Baptist
convention had complained that
Taylor has not been withdrawn
and that the minister said he had
been pr~mised that Taylor would
be withdrawn when the peace
treaties were ready.
The President said he thought
he had told the delegation of pro
testing clergymen, who called on
him last year, that he would with
draw Taylor when peace had been
consummated.

of pliers and a screwdriver will
produce a radio receiver that will
pick up Miami loud and clear.
The grand opening of the N.C.O.
