Truman To See
Mme. Kai-Shek
At Tea Today
WASHINGTON, </P>—President
Truman said yesterday that aid to
China will be taken up when he
meets Madame Chiang Kai-Shek
at a tea today.
That was his reply when asked
at a news conference whether the
matter would be discussed at the
affair which he and Mrs. Truman
are holding for China’s first lady.
China aid is what Madame Chi
ang is coming to see me about, Mr.
Truman told reporters. He added
that it still remains to be seen
whether he’ll have further talks
with her.
Most of Mr. Truman’s news con
ference was devoted to the Con
gressional spy hunt which he again
labelled as a red herring. On other
topncs he said:
1. He doesn’t know yet whether
he will go personally before a
joint session of Congress to deliv
er his State of the Union message
next month. Recommendations for
the 1949 fiscal year budget, he
added, are coming along slowly.
2. He will again ask Congress to
9
approve the St. Lawrence Seaway
project. Also, he would like to see
work go ahead on the proposed
Jefferson Memorial at St. Louis.
If the project is brought along far
enough he would be glad to ask
federal funds for it.
3. A report on the Bikini atom
bombing tests is resting on his
desk and will not be published.
Asked if publication would meet
opposition from secretary of de
fense Forrestal, Mr. Truman said
that it might also meet objection
from the President.
4. He had no comment on the
dispute between foreign aid ad
ministrator Paul G. Hoffman and
P-80 Jet Crashes,
Bu rns. Pilot Dead
ANCHORAGE, (A3) — An air
force jet plane on practice maneu
vers crashed into a Fort Richard
son warehouse Wednesday in a
ball of flame, killing the pilot.
I The army said the flyer, who
fell clear of the crash when he
tried to bali out of his burning
P-80, was dead on arrival at the
hospital.
I The warehouse, a single-story,
200-foot long building containing
electrical supplies, burned to the
ground. As far as could be deter- j
mined there was no one in the
building. It was 300 feet from a
structure in which 75 people were
working.
James Manske said he looked
up when the jet went over and
saw the pilot dangling from the
plane, head first, his arms flailing.
His body fell free and struck a
fthort distance from the spot of the
crash.
Another eye witness said he had«
been watching the jets, which had
been taking off all morning.1
“Flames always spurt from the
tail at the takeoff,” he said. “This
time the flare seemed to spread
until it enveloped the entire plane.
The craft did several wingovers
and went down in a big orange
flash.”
The pilot’s identify was not re
vealed.
