Truman, patently enjoying politics, flayed Republicans Monday night at the state's biggest Democratic rally of the campaign so far, calling for election of a Democratic ticket in Kansas on Nov.

6. "I feel safer with a Democrat in the White House," the former president told a crowd of about 2,300. "I'm for the Democratic party and for democratic government and I want you to keep that in mind." Truman endorsed President Kennedy's arms quarantine on Cuba. He, announced he wired the President: "Congratulations. You have ered the situation exactly as it ought to be." Truman told the rally: "We'll have to support the President and his delineation of foreign policy.

No one else can make foreign policy except the President." All Democratic candidates and officials of the party were on hand. It originated as a rally for Rep. J. Floyd Breeding but was expanded after Truman agreed to appear. Mrs.

Truman accompanied him and both appeared in a parade before the $5-a-plate dinner. Besides 1,400 at the dinner, an estimated 900 came late to hear the speech. "The welfare of the United States is in your hands," Truman told the crowd. "This will be remembered as one of the most terrific periods the country has faced. It is up to you to get Democrats elected.

"We may as well face up to the fact that we are now paying the penalty for eight years of a do-nothing administration. "We have been through an administration that stood by while we were undergoing a gradual breakdown of our economic stuc- ture at home. At the same time we were experiencing a decline in our position of leadership abroad. "History will not treat the past eight years v.lth the indulgence and sentimental kindness that most of the press accorded the performance of the Eisenhower administration." Breeding could barely speak when he was called on. He explained he had almost lost his voice in three weeks of steady campaigning.

He called on his wife and she made a brief speech for him. At a conference before the dinner, Truman referred to himself as a retired farmer and said: "The farmers hav more money than they ever had. They got it after the Democrats took over. The most ungrateful people in the world are the farmers. They want everything in the world and then they tend to forget who did it for them.

They think they did it for themselves."

The Air Force sent more super- fast interceptor planes into better positions to defend the East Coast. At Patrick Air Force Base, near Cape Canaveral, a force of 36 jets an-hour Fl06s and hour F104s. There was no overt threat to the U.S. naval base on Guanrtanamo Bay in eastern Cuba.

But the United States got this vital outpost in fighting trim by shipping home an estimated Navy and children and reinforcing the garrison of Navy men and Marines with perhaps 2,000 more Leathernecks. The defense spokesman made it plain that the drastic U.S. blockade action was triggered by confirmation' that mobile ballistic missiles were in place and actually threatening U.S. cities. He showed reconnaissance pho- up 30 pointed out what he said were two missile launchers "aligned to a specific section of the United States." Nearby were missiles on trailers and trucks containing fuel for the weapons.

Some of, these missile sites, by all indications, have become combat ready within the past week. Reporters were shown a map of the Western Hemisphere with one circle indicating areas which could be brought under fire by these medium range weapons, and a wider area of the United States and Latin America that could be attacked by fixed-base missiles with a range of more than 2,500 miles. Another factor entering into the arms blockade decision was the appearance of Soviet-made IL28 jet planes with a range of about 700 or 800 miles. These bombers had been introduced into Cuba in the past 10 days. Teleeram Photo Wake of Robbery Thieves netted $800 in cash in a burglary of a safe at the office of Dr.

Buffaloes Branded During Modern Day Roundup Here By BETH LILLEY The rumble of hooves and bellowing clouds of dust hung over the saidMUs south of Garden City Monday as the annual buffalo roundup got under way. Two hundred head of prime buffalo cows, bulls and calves were separated into various pens by members of the Forestry, Fish and Game Commission. Fifty calves from three to nine months old and long yearlings years old) were eased in one pen where they were branded and vaccinated today.

The old cows and bulls were turned back to roam their acre sandhill range. Ted Drees, range manager of the state-owned herd, said about 30 calves and 10 cows will be sold. He added that a man in California has contracted to purchase 10 cows at $175 eadh. They will be shipped to a private game preserve in Oregon. Drees said the calves, male and female are selling at a flat price $150 each.

Bulls, like the cows, are also sold for $175. "We have never weighed the said Drees. "We just set a selling price for the calves and another for the adults. That system has worked out fine in Telegram Photo KANSAS' LARGEST buffalo herd, 200 head, were put into pens Monday where calves separated for branding and vaccinating. Several game officials from various sections in Kansas helped drive the massive animals into the corrals on foot.

Frightened by the pens, tka buffaloes plunged head-long through the gates but were soon quieted. Another picture on Page 2.

Pollsters were unable to get much of a representation of the actual farm vote in polling yesterday due to the milo harvest which is in full swing over most of western Kansas. Dole's largest margins were coming from the Sixth District which first elected him to Congress. However, he also led by smaller margins In several of the counties which wore in the old Fifth District now repre- sented by his opponent.

Anderson led Saffels in all of the 19 counties except Wichita and Stanton. Today the Telegram team was working in Haskell, Stevens, Mori ton and Seward counties. the" four yeams I've been Separating the calves from their mothers is a slow, tedious and.

often dangerou. job. "Shorty" Michael, game protector at Lakin, said "we have take our time dividing the herd. Bufalo are a lot wilder than cattle and are very unpredictable." like cattle, buffalo are unaccustomed to people and pens. Many of the massive creatures idly wandered from one 'corral to another before actual dividing began.

However, Drees had run all the herd in to the bigger pens Saturday and the critters were somewhat familiar with their surroundings by work time Monday. Nevertheless, cows don't like to be separated from their calves. As the buffalo "wranglers" cut the young ones away from the main herd, many of the old cows rebelted with detep throated sounds which a by-stander could have interpreted as sounding something like "naw, naw." Even ler the job had been completed, the cows stood outside fihe prn ontaining the calves snorting the old bulls uttered gutt ral grunts of disapproval. The C.I'-T.'S seemed content in their pen and the game officials said the job went "real smooth" all morning. The big job branding and vaccinating started at 8 a.m.

today. Dr. Hugh Metcalf, state veterinarian, was in charge. Bull calves were branded on the left hip with the figure "2" which represents 1962. Females were branded with a to show they have been vaccinated for Brucellosis or Bangs disease as well as the "2'.

An expandable steel chute was installed last year and corral additions and repairs were made this year enabling workers to run the buffalo through in record time. Most of the calves were run in the chute, branded and vaccinated without raising a ruckus. On the other hand, a couple of calves "shot ttie chute 1 and escaped to the sandhills unbranded. One bull calf came out of the holding pen and hit the wooden fence with such force that he broke his neck. Mike Shanley and Frank Metheny, game protectors from Mineola, quickly set about the task of skinning the calf for butchering.

Dr. Metrcalf said "we usually lose at k-ast one animal when working with wild livestock." Drees worked the branding irons, kept red hot by butane. Except for the one calf none of the animals were seriously injured. However, a few of them i came free of the chute with 1 bloody noses due to fighting the i steel bars. Red Union Hasn't Revealed Policy By JOHN M.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (AP) President Kennedy wan broad Allied support today for his swift decision to seal off Cuba from deliveries of Soviet nuclear rockets and bombers. But Moscow struck back with cries of "hypocrisy" and talk of nuclear war. Initial Soviet response to the quarantine policy which Kennedy announced to the world Monday night was regarded by U.S. officials as a stopgap statement until Premier Nikita Khrushchev and his government decide on their policy line. A Moscow statement insisted that whatever weapons the Soviet Union has set up in Cuba are defensive, but it did not appear to deny that they included medium and intermediate range rockets and Russian bombers capable of delivering nuclear warheads agtainst targets throughout'the Western Hemisphere.

On the diplomatic front, where Kennedy hoped for action to pull the world back from the brink of nuclear war, the United States made its first move in the Organization of American States Secretary of State Dean Rusk, VlinrlArt IvIlfAn speaking for tne United States in JUUUUI I Ul 1 Cl I an extraordinary OAS session, got an overwhelming fa re- from Latin-American member nations. This was important to the administration in giving an international legal base for a prospective Near Unanimous Given By OAS Nations WASHINGTON Kennedy's call for a military quarantine of Cuba received almost unanimous backing today from the 20-nation Organization of American States. Only Bolivia withheld support, and that was only because its ambassador had not yet received instructions from his government. There was every expectation that the final vote would be unanimous in favor of the U.S. stand.

In advance of a formal vote on a U.S. resolution, 14 member states spoke in favor of the U.S. position. Other Latin-American anibassa- dors waited their turns to speak. But Mexico and Brazil, considered most likely to object to the proposal, spoke in favor of it.

Ambassador Ilmar Penna Mar- iniho Brazil told OAS meeting that he had received instructions from his government to give full support to the resolution presented by the United States delegation. He limited his statement to that brief remark. a preliminary procedural matter, the OAS voted to put itself on an emergency basis to consider the Cuban question. This vote was 18 for with two abstentions. The abstentions were by Bolivia and Uruguay, whose ambassadors said they had not yet received instructions from their governments.

But both expressed grave concern and solidarity with the inter-American system. Secretary of State Dean Rusk opened the meeting with a appeal for support of President Kennedy's position. "We have incontrovertible evidence that medium and intermediate range missile bases are being constructed by the Soviet Un- ion in Cuba," Rusk told an emer- i gcncy meeting of the OAS. Rusk facts demonstrate that the presidential proclamation to make the blockade fully eff tive. White House press secretary Pierre Salinger said he could not say when the President would issue a proclamation formally in voicing a naval quarantine of Culba but that he might have something to say before 5 p.m.

EST. State Department officials said thought had been given to providing a "grace period" before U.S. naval vessels ringing Cuba actually begin halting and searching ships. As the Cubpn crisis jangled in the nerve centers of the world, there were these developments: The U.N. Security Council was Summoned to an urgent meeting later in the day, at the behest of both Russia and the United States, with the U.S.

demanding withdrawal of all offensive weapons from Cuban soil. British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan gave strong, unequivocal backing to Kennedy's move, though there were scattered reactions of anxiety and some criticism in Western Europe. France withheld comment for the time being. The Soviet government canceled all military leaves of its armed forces. The President set up a special committee of the National Security Council to meet with him daily for the duration of the crisis.

Today's session lasted an hour and 20 minutes. The President summoned congressional leaders to the White House Wednesday for a full review of 'world reaction 10 his quarantine order.

He added that the United States Is not the onlv target for such missiles which "could carry mass destruction to the major cities of this hemisphere." Commission Change fs Talked Garden City Jaycees. in a spec! ial session last night, disc, ted the possibilities of a j-man city commission for this town with city officials an other civic I leaders. Both the merits and possible disadvantages of a larger com: mission were brought out.

The 1 Jaycees took no action in gen- eral agreed to pursue the idea in 1 getting more public opinion. Representing the city were Commissioner Jim Cowgill and City Manager Deane Wiley. Change to a 5-man group would be permissible under home rule. The Jaycees, in a recent sur, vey, found a majority of those who answered the questionnaire indicated they favored a 5-man commission over the present 31 man, speech addressed what it called a "serious warning" to th United States and said by undertaking such a "gamble" the President was risking a thermonuclear world 'war. Havana radio said early today that all of the island's military forces had been mobilized and Prime Minister Fidel Castro would address his nation later in the day.

Kennedy is depending on crisis diplomacy to pull the world back from tlie brink of conflict. Shortly before addressing the nation by television and the world by radio he addressed a personal message to Soviet Premier Khrushchev to refrain from any step which would make the situation worse.
