C„ THURSDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER Jl, 1952 South Koreans Hur! Back Reds Truman Blasts Newspapers And The Republicans j WASHINGTON, (IP)—Pres ident Truman said todav I that election of an “isolat ! ionist Republican Congress” will not mean peace by any mp'ins. Taking up at his news confer ence Dwight D. Eisenhower’s call for a change in administration, Mr. Truman said the change the gen eral is talking about would not mean peace. In answer to a reporter’s ques tion about whether he agreed with Eisenhower’s recent statement that a change in administration is now the No. 1 campaign issue, rather than peace, Mr. Truman said that he did not. He said that his administration has been working for seven long years for world peace and that he still was hopeful that it would be achieved. He said that he based his state ment that a Republican Congress, if elected with Eisenhower, would j be isolationist on the voting rec- ; ord of Republican congressmen. QUARRELS WITH REPORTER Mr. Truman replied sharply to a ! reporter who asked if he thought such an “isolationist Republican Congress" would mean war. The President said no, that he j meant it would not mean world ■ peace. He told the reporter not to ! put words in his mouth because j he resented it. The President also said he doen’t give a hoot what newspapers say about him and Democratic cand idates in their editorials if they get the truth in their news stories. He read a prepared statement I pointing out that few newspapers had supported him in his success ful, campaign in 1948. jfi Xtfmsux said that-Ike ns-, turn's "oni JJ&rt/ press;” made mat ters “ particularly” difficult for Democratic congressmen who could not get what he called a fair break in their local press. He said that daily newspapers now are "big business and big busi ness traditionally has always been Republican.” He said that his main purpose in making the statement was because the “people must have both sides.” But he conceded that he did not expect any switches in the political positions of news papers. ! NO COMMENT ON JOE Mr. Truman would not comment on the landslide primary victory of Republican Sen. Joseph R. Mc- Carthy in Wisconsin, Eisenhower’s endorsement of Sen. William E. Jenner (R-Ind.), and the state ment by Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas that he would not vote for Stevenson. Doctors Remove 39 Stones From Woman Although several examinations, including one at the clinic of the Duke Hospital in Durham, failed to reveal their presence, ai opera tion at the Johnston Comity Mem orial Hospital in Smithfield, by Dr. Poteat, produced 39 gallstones, a record numer.

Aldoph J, Sabath (D-Ill.), 86, dean of the | House of Representatives, was re- i ported to be on the "critical condi tion list" today by attendants at Michael Reese Hospital. Sabath entered the hospital yes- | terday but doctors would not re veal the nature of his illness. He underwent surgery for a liver ailment last spring. He was re leased from Michael Reese June 14 after the operation and recovered sufficiently to attend the Demo cratic national convention and to visit his office in Washington. SUFFERING RELAPSE Friends of Sabath, who did not wish to be named, said he was suffering from a relapse brought on by his advanced age and the. current political campaign. Sabath first was elected to Con gress in 1906 from Illinois' Seventh Congressional District. He has been re-elected 22 consecutive times.
