Truman Girds For
Four-Year Fight
WASHINGTON, </P>—President |
Truman put aside early this morn- ,
ing the golden moments of his
greatest day and set his adminis
tration on a course of world lead-1
ership toward “peace, plenty and
freedom.”
That was the shining goal he
chose for himself and the nation in
yesterday’s inaugural address. The
capitol was getting back to nor
mal.
After the inaugural address yes
terday came the parade, the inau
gural reception at which he duck
ed the usual hand pumping, a
quiet dinner at home with family
and friends, and finally the inau
gural ball.
He didn’t even look tuckered as
he stayed until 1:40 a.m. this;
morning to watch daughter Mar- j
garet and thousands of other dan- |
eers swirl around two acres of
national guard armory.
But not even three name bands,
taking 20-minute turns on a re*
volving stage, were enough to lure
President and Mrs. Truman out
of their box in the balcony. They
just brought Margaret to the par
ty, then chatted with personal and
Soviets Ignore
Truman's Speech
MOSCOW, oP) — Pravda today
devoted two paragraphs to a Tass
dispatch from Washington on
President Truman’s inauguration.
The story in the official com
munist paper mentioned that Sov- i
iet Ambassador Alexander S. Pan
yushkin was present.
The President’s speech has not1
been published or commented on
so far. Neither Izvestia, govern
ment newspaper, nor Trud, the
Soviet trade union newspaper,
carried any news of the inaugura
tion.
A Washington dispatch in Trud
told of 5.000 persons demonstrat
ing for civil rights. Other dis
patches from the U. S. reported
the trial of American communist
leaders.
The text of Mr. Truman’s ad-1
dress was heard here clearly in
Russian last night over the Voice
of America broadcast.

Laborer Kills Two
Ini ported Wives
SACRAMENTO, Calif. </P) —
Twice 48-year-old Victoriano Cor
tez returned to his native Mexico
and each time he returned here
with a girl after filling her head
with tales of luxurious living.
And twice, said sheriff’s depu
ties, he killed, in the same way
for the same reason: each girl
threatened to leave him for a
younger man, so he struck her
down with a hammer and an axe,
then butchered her body and
threw the pieces into a river.
Yesterday a charge of murder
in both deaths was on file against
the slight, greying day laborer.
He is accused of killing Alberta
Gomez and Maria Pulido, both in
their twenties and both from the
same town in Mexico, Iraputo.
The sheriff’s office said he made
statements admitting both slay
ings.
