(AP) Harry S. Truman sought to label lisenhower-Dulles foreign policy oday as one of "blunder, bluster and brink of war." The, former President also dubbed Vice President Nixon the killing six men HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) An Air Force C47 crashed and exploded on a 970-foot mountain three miles south of Harrisburg today, killing six 'Air Force personnel. The twin-engine craft crashed into the densely wooded mountain top and dug thrpugn trees for about 150 feet before it flipped over and began to burn. Rescue crews from Olmsted Field, the destination of the craft, spent almost two hours getting the blaze under control and recovering the bodies.

All of the bodies were burned in the crash. The Air Force withheld identification of the victims pending notification of next of kin. Lt. Col. Rudolf Stewart, Olmsted Field engineering officer, said the craft was en route to Olmsted from Tarrant AFB, Fort Wcrth, Tex.

Truman said Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon are jittery over elec- ion prospects.

Eisenhower, flew to Chicago Tuesday night from San Francisco, where he blamed Democrats in Congress for preventing enactment of his proposals to "fumigate" corruptly run labor unions. The President also said Democrats haVe given impetus to what he called a "dangerous drift toward centralization" of government. He was billed to make a coast- to-coast televised speech from Chicago tonight on behalf of Republican candidates for Congress. Truman was due in Wilmington, to beat the drums for Democratic candidates. Nixon, whose stumping has taken him across the country, was bound for New England today with stops scheduled in Hartford, Burlington, and Providence, R.I.

Speaking in Baltimore Tuesday night, Nixon moved to woo what he described as Democratic moderates who back Eisenhower foreign policies. He singled out for special mention Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, the Senate Democratic leader. Nixon said he distinguishes between Democrats of the Johnson type and "the leadership which presently controls the Democratic National Committee, which is radical in its approach to economic problems and bitterly partisan in its criticism of the Eisenhower foreign policy." The vice president's remarks came amid a row between Democratic Chairman Paul M- Butler and some Southern Democrats over the civil rights issue.

Republican National chairman Meade Alcorn tok a somewhat different tack in a statement today commenting on the Butler- Dixie dispute. He described as "most revealing" Butler's "recognition of the Southern Democrat stranglehold on committee power in any Democrat Congress." "A vote for a Democrat anywhere is a vote to return Southern Democrats like Sen. James Eastland of Mississippi to positions of great committee power," Alcorn said. "If the GOP organises the next Congress, the Eastlands will go back where they belong, at the side of the committee table instead of its head." 'chief hatchetman" for the Republicans. He said Nixon is try- ng to help the GOP candidates by using "verbal garbage." Truman said this and more of Eisenhower and Nixon as he carried his Democratic campaign from Pennsylvania into Delaware.

In an address prepared for a Democratic rally, he spoke scornfully of Eisenhower's claim of running a "sound government." A government to the Republicans," the 74-year-old Democratic campaigner argued, "is the kind of government hi which the President makes nice sounds, while the, vice president And tie added'Hie "RepuBlica'ris make up their minds whether to aim their "at" the" reactionaries for their money or the liberals for their votes." 'VERBAL GARBAGE' Nixon, Truman said, admits the Republicans are doomed to inevitable defeat unless they charge that the Democrats "are dedicated to socialism at home and warmon gering abroad." The voters, he said, "are not going to fall for that kind of verbal garbage again." BODY FOUND VANCOUVER (AP)The body of Oscar Bakke, 57- year-old Vancouver resident, was found floating in the Columbia River near here Tuesday. Bakke disappeared from his home Oct. 15. Truman was in top campaign form at a rally in New Castle, Tuesday night. He got a welcome there earlier in the day that rivaled some of his 1948 campaign appearances.

He is flying into New York this afternoon to do some extra campaigning for Democratic Gov. Averell Harriman in his contested race for re-election against Nelson Rockefeller. In his speech Tuesday night Truman again charged that President Eisenhower had "surrendered to the Communists" in reaching an, armistice, in the Korean Medaris says space talent needed in Army fly C. VATES MCDANIEL WASHINGTON (AP) The Army's missile chief said bluntly today that this is no time to sur- ender its best scientific brains and the netf Civilian Space Administration.

His comment came in response to question from the floor asking the Army's opinion of the Space Administration's announced proposal to absorb some 2,100 top Army scientists and engineers and the Army's key missile and space laboratories.

RESULT NOT GOOD Medaris said any effort to divide what he called the Army's patiently buildup scientific team, including top German scientists, would interfere with the momen turn gained. "If this (momentum is interfered with for any reason," he added, "the results will not be so good." The proposal by Dr. Keith Glennan, the new civilian space administrator, to, absorb the Army scientists and laboratory facilities is one to'be decided at the White House.

FORMOSA S. Secy, of State John Foster Dulles meets Nationalist China's Chiang Kai-shek at Taipei, Formosa, for three days of talks on the Formosa Straits crisis. It is speculated in Washington that Dulles may propose a military pull-back by both sides in the Quemoy area Meanwhile Chinese Reds on the mainland have resumed theii heavy artillery shelling of the offshore islands. Chiang calls for 'resoluteness' in the face of the enemy' By SPENCER MOOSA TAIPEI, Formosa Kai-shek told Secretary of State Dulles tonight it was paramount importance to reaffirm our joint stand of solidarity" against Red China. The President's toast at a state Danquet seemed to foreshadow the statement the two will issue at the end of their talks Thursday.

Referring to Red propaganda attempts to divide the United States and Nationalist China, Chiang said the two partners must show resoluteness in the face of the enemy. The dinner came after the second day of talks between Dulles and Chiang, a day that saw a fierce artillery duel between Communist and Nationalist big guns around Quemoy, across the strait from Formosa. On this second day of Dulles' visit, the United States warned Red China it will resume escorting supply ships to Quemoy if that becomes a military necessity. But the Reds stepped up their bombardment of the Quemoys, raining nearly 1,000 shells an hour on the offshore stronghold. The Nationalist Defense Ministry said their guns on Quemoy answered the Communist barrage but gave no figures on what AP Correspondent David Lancashire Chrysler facing new labor row DETROIT Corp- faced a new labor dispute today as General Motors reported almost 80 per cent of its United Auto Worker employes back on the job.

Wreckage of the British European Airways four-engine prop plane was scattered for more than a mile near World War II battlefield 30 miles south of Rome. The military plane exploded in the air. Seconds before that the Italian pilot parachuted, landing in the Mediterranean. A fishing boat picked him up.

He was taken to a hospital in grave condition. The airliner's dead included Jane Buckingham, London model involved in a romance in which she had pictured actress Eva Bartok as trying to take over an Indian prince who "is mine."

The Defense Ministry tally of Red shelling was 5,293 shells between noon and 6 p.m. making 8,376 rounds for the past 12 hours. The Communists scattered their cease fire Monday with more than 11,000 shells fired on the island.

NINE DEAD Lancashire reported nine civilians have been killed and seven wounded during the three days of Communist shelling. Dulles and his aides held three meetings with Chiang Tuesday, a 45-minute session this morning, and met tonight for another state dinner to be followed by talks. The first announced result of the conference was a statement authorized by Dulles and issued by U.S. Ambassador Everett F. Drumright warning that U.S.

warships may return to escort duty to Quemoy. The escorting was halted after the Reds first pro- a cease-fire. There were indications the Na- aonalists had hoped for a stronger statement saying convoying will resumed immediately.

Walter S. Robertson, assistant of state for Far Eastern and No. 2 American in the pas- took pains at a news con- urence to deny rumors of a rift suring the session. The rumors were reported cir- ulated by low-level Nationalist of- scials who fear the United States vants Chiang to reduce his garrisons on the offshore islands.

Cosimo Baggialemani, 33, of nearby Nettuno, who was picking mushrooms, said he heard an explosion. Looking up, he saw flames and then bits of wreckage fell around him. One wing was about 600 feet from the smashed part of the fuselage. Part of the tail was 1,000 feet away. The airliner carried 25 sengers and a crew of 5.

Witnesses said the military plane continued its flight for a second after the collision, then nosed over as the pilot, Capt. Giovanni Savorelli, bailed out. Crash crews were rushed from Rome's Ciampino airfield to this small fishing port where British and U. S. troops landed in World War II.
