Tafl, called Wednesday for the resignation of Secretary of State Dean Acheson because his Far Eastern policy has been "reversed" by President Truman.

In a senate speech. Taft declared his support for Mr. Truman's decision to aid the South Koreans with U. S. planes and warships.

But he said Mr. Truman's timing was wrong and the chief executive exceeded his constitutional powers. The GOP policy committee chairman declared that Acheson must go. "Whether the President chose the right time for his new policy," Taft said, "or the right place can be discussed in the future. "I suggest, however, that any secretary of state who has been so reversed by his superiors and whose policies have precipitated the danger of war, had better resign and let someone else administer the program to which he was, and perhaps still is, so violently opposed."

The measure outs in President Truman's hands the power to call up thousands of draftees, national guardsmen or reserves if necessary to keep the strength of the army, navy and air force above the 2,000,000 mark.

Glen H. Taylor headed into the desert lands of South Idaho Wednesday in a bush-beating hunt for votes after a campaign swing through the Southwestern part of the state. His day's schedule included communities in the Boise area-Eagle, Star, Meridian, and Mountain Home. The senator and his troupe, including his wife, his three sons and a four-man cowboy band, pulled into Boise Tuesday night from Caldwell where they had put on' a typical campaign "road show." Jn his speech, Taylor assailed the "big power" interests for their opposition to the proposed Columbia Valley administration, praised the Brar.nan farm plans, claimed he had brought more federal money into Idaho than any senatorial predecessor and blasted various newspapers in ihe state. The performance at Caldwell, according to one of Taylor's aides, Now-and-Then Democrat Glen Taylor Sings a Clowns a Lot and Takes Lusty Poke At Idaho's Top Newspapers Bit, was but a fair sample of the kind of pitch the senator has been making for votes to send him back to Washington for six more years.

Taylor is seeking Democratic re- nomination. In most places. Taylor's cowboy band--the Idaho Ramblers, an outfit he picked up in Pocatello--plays for dancing after the senator talks. On Tuesday night they just played for listening to an audience of about 150 in Caldwell's City park. When they had played for about an hour, Taylor and his family arrived in the campaign car--a sedan with a platform mounted on the roof and literally bristling with loudspeakers.

After going among the crowd to shake hands, Taylor mounted' the rickety, wooden bandstand. He introduced his family. leading off with four-year-old Gregory, who came bouncing up the steps to the platform and shouted "Hello, everybody" into the microphone. Next came eight-year-old P.I--pro- nounced Peejay. Then came his eldest son, Arod, tall, self-possessed, and finally Mrs.

Taylor. The senator said he thought the folks might like a song by the family trio--his wife, Arod, and himself. The Taylors launched into "Dear Hearts and Gentle People." The crowd liked it. So it was favored with an encore "Quicksilver." Taylor then called ou FJ to sing "It Aint Gonna Rain No More" in simulated Chinese. Accompanied by the cowboy band.

PJ started off but got tangled up after a few bars. He stopped, remarked that he "got it loused up" and started over again. Taylor said he called for that song 'Cause I wanna get the Chinese vote." This got a laugh. he launched inlo his speech. He began by praising the United Nations and defending his opposition to the Greek-aid program and the authorization of the Marshall plan.

Taylor said he anticipated his opposition would try to "smear me" and that "there'll be money coming into the state from the Du Ponts and other big interests, special interests." The candidate, in taking a poke at various newspapers, singled out The Idaho Statesman of Boise, The Times-News of Twin Falls, and The Idaho State Journal of Pocatello, which he said "ain't fit to be called newspapers--they are the worst newspapers in the country."
