Bmce par, Harbor Utterances Of Truman Are Painful Truth Says Bricker BOWLING GREEM, Oct. 2. (vP) Gov. John W. B'ricker of Ohio asserted today the democrats' own nominee for vice-president had said the Roosevelt administration was responsible for "inadequate over-all planning and delay in determining basic policies" of the war program.

The republican candidate for vice-president, opening a 4-week western campaign that will carry him to the Pacific coast, quoted from speeches, writings and official reports which he said had been made by Sen. Harry. S. Truman, his democratic opponent. i Yet;" Brieker asserted -in-a-pre-l pared text released by his cam paign Sen, -Truman "now would have the American peo pie believe that 'the welfare of this nation and its future, as well as as the peace of the whole world' depend upon another four years of Roosevelt and the new deal." Bricker remarked to his out door audience that Truman had obtained facts as chairman of a senate committee which investi gated the war effort, "so we may be confident that he Is re vealing the painful truth." Truman, he continued, wrote for the-mericaR- magazine- 4a 1942 'The reasons for the waste and confusion, the committee found, were everywhere the same: The lack of courageous, unified leadership and centralized direction at the 'With the world going up in flames about us, we owe it to ourselves to insist that the president act promptly to halt the selfish 'fights for power, the end less bickering and dissension which have so far blacked the complete utilization of eur-pro- ductive energies In 1941, Bricker told his aiidi ence, Truman said In a radio address 'M-day or mobilization day came and they didn't even know it until several months later.

"Referring to Hlllman's-activi ties concerning the awarding of a war contract," Bricker added, "Sen. Truman said: 'J cannot condemn Mr. Hill- man's position too strongly.

True, the- weather is likely to be bad after this month, and military operations will be difficult in November and December. However, if Gen.

However, there's no reason for the surprise which seems to be rather widespread -over the fact that the Hitlerites are making a fight of it. A lot of folk seem to nave jumped to the conclusion that the war was over when they saw the Germans in headlong retreat from the battle of Normandy.
