Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday of having endangered the country as commanding general in Europe by grave "blunders" which left America unaware of Russia's threat to world peace. Meanwhile the GOP hit back quickly at Pres ident Truman for charging that Gen. Eisenhower's 1945 advice "did a great deal of harm." Sen. John M. Butler (R-Md) recalled that Mr. Truman had told a whistle-stop crowd at Eugene. Ore., on June 11, 1948: "I got very well acquainted with Joe Stalin and I like old Joer he is a decent fellow."
