Grand Jury Investigating Re not provide for a unified Palestine Behind the hard-pressed earth By RAYMOND P. BRANDT Chief Washington Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, June 2 President Truman, writing to a Missouri Democrat who had asked him to withdraw from the presidential race, said that he "was not brought up to run from a fight." The White House letter was written to Dr. H. H.

Brummall, a Salisbury dentist, who wrote the President that "regardless of the justice or injustice, I believe both popular opinion and opinion of liberals everywhere is that new leadership of the party is essential to Victory this year." The President replied as follows under a May 24 date line: "Dear Dr. Brummall: "I read your letter of the fifteenth (of May) with a lot of Interest, and for your information I was not brought up to run from a fight. "A great many of you Democrats in 1940 ran off after a certain Governor who was trying to cut my throat, and he didn't do it successfully they are not going to succeed this time either. "I am certainly sorry that you feel the way you do. It Is not a good way for a Missourian to feel at this time.

"Sincerely yours, HARRY S. TRUMAN." The "certain Governor" mentioned in the presidential letter was former Gov. Lloyd C.

The other defeated candidate was former United States District Attorney Maurice M.

Milligan of Kansas City. Dentist Write Back. Answering the President in a letter dated May 27, Dr. Brummall replied in part: "I am a little surprised at your making any response to my suggestion of May 15. Particularly was I surprised when you therein impugned the motives of those Democrats "who did not support you ia the 1940 primary election.
