Truman Warns
Against Rule j
By RewMicaßS
EN ROUTE WITH TRU-1
MAN (l?> President Tru- I
man said today that a “re-j
turn to reactionary Repub
difference between going
hear, rule” would mean “the
forward and backward,” and
might mean “the difference
between war and peace.”
In a speech prepared for de
livery in Wheeling, W. Va.. the
President also lashed rt ’
the Taft-Hartley Act which he said
“can wreck the American labor
movement,” He called the law a
“Butter, vindictive, anti-labor act.”
and said there are a “great num
ber” of men within the Republican
party “who hate labor unions and
would like to destroy them.”
Mr. Truman, who wound up a
28-hour whistle-stop tour of Penn
sylvania with a foreign policy ad
dress at Pittsburgh Wednesday
night, was scheduled to swing back
through Western Pennsylvania af
ter his Wheeling speech. His spe

D. Eisenhower’s “cheap,” “cypi
cal” and “Isolationist” campaign
I tacHcs are a ‘threat to our na

national disaster.”
Today, the President, who is
campaigning for Gov. Adlai E.

“look out, neighbor.”
“Among the people who had bet

I win this election.” he said, “are
the working men and women of
I America.”
“I dread to think what would
happen to the labor movement if
the Republican partv ever return
