YEAR-NO, 1W RHINELANDER, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 8 PAGES TODAY PRICE PtVE CENTS U.N. Told War Fears Unjustified Truman Pledges Duke's U. Resources to Prevent Conflict NEW YORK, Oct. 23 Truman pledged the entire sources of this country today to prevent an eruption of divergent litical philosophies from bringing "disaster to.the world." Terming world-wide fears of another war "unwarranted and unjustified," he said that unless war "rumors" in "certain places" are checked, "they are sure to impede world recovery." Acknowledges Differences. In an address prepared for the opening session of the United Nations general assembly in Flushing Meadow, Mr.

Truman frankly acknowledged that "differences have arisen among the Allies." "It will not help us to pretend that this is not the case," he said. "But it is not necessary to exaggerate the differences. For part, I believe there is no difference of interest that need stand in the way of settling these problems." Solemnly, the President cautioned the assembly that it must not permit differences in economic and social trends to stand in the way of peace now or later. Mr. Truman did not allude directly to Henry A.

Wallace's controversial Sept. 12 speech, in which the then secretary of commerce declared that "whether we like it or not, the Russians will try to socialize their sphere of influence just as we try to democratize our sphere of influence." The President did say, however, that "to permit the United Nations to be broken into irreconcilable parts by different political philosophies would bring disaster td the world." Wallace's speech touched off such a storm over U. foreign policy that Mr. Truman firqd him from the cabinet eight days later. Without mentioning Russia by name, Mr.

Truman made these points: 1. The exercise of "neither, vet rights'nor majority rights can 1 The prime step necessary to remove fear of war is for the victorious Allies "to reach agreement on the peace settlements." 3. The American people "are troubled by the failure of the Allied nations to make progress in their common search for lasting peace. Atomic Control Needed. Two of the greatest obligations undertaken by the U.N.

to remove fear of war remain "to be fulfilled," the President said, citing the need for international controls to ensure the peaceful use of atomic energy and other weapons of mass destruction. Speaking less than two weeks in advance of congressional elections when Democratic majorities in both houses are at stake, Mr. Truman said the majority of-, the American people, regardless of party, "support the United Nations," "They are resolved," Mr. Truman said, "that the United States, to the full limit of its strength, shall contribute to the establishment and maintenance of a just and lasting peace," For its part, he added, this nation has no wish "now or in the future" to make war on any people. It will work "patiently" for peace, he said, "by every means consistent with self respect and security," Gems LONDON, Oct.
