WASHINGTON, (IP)—Pre fsident Truman said today Americans who want to pull out of the United Nations and “go it alone” are advo cating a course “that can only lead to the holocaust of worldwide war.” In what he termed his ’final re port” as President on U. S. parti cipation ii. .he United Nations, Mr. Truman told Congress that certain “blind” leaders have undermined : confidence in the U. N. through "partisan attacks.” CALLS NO NAMES He did not call any names, but in the past he has directed sim ilar criticism at such Republicans as Sen. Robert A. Taft, Gen. Doug las MacArthur and former Presi dent Herbert Hoover. Expressing confidence that Amer icans would reject these “voices of despair,” Mr. Truman also said the United States and its U.
