Says Speech By JAMES DEVLIN NEW YORK lift Former President Harry S. Truman says President Eisenhower's Republican administration has made a "shambles" of bipartisanship in foreign policy. This, he adds, is "the tning that worries me most in ihe political scer.e for 1956." In a speech reminiscent of his "give em hell" tactics in the 1948 campaign, Truman addressed 2,600 wildly applauding partisans a $100-a-plate dinner last night. The dinner launched the Democratic 1956 presidential campaign in Now York state, which has 98' of the 1,372 votes at tha party's national convention next August in Chicago. Sen.

Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, an open candidate for the presidential nomination, and Gov. Averell Harriman of New York, an "inactive" candidate, also de- jJivered slashing attacks on the GOP. "Responsibility for biparti a n- ship in foreign policy rests squarely on the administration in power in the White House and nowhere else," said Truman. "It is impossible for anyone else to bring it about," He said Republicans excluded Democrats from formulation of foreign policy because they had charged the Democrats with trea- and they want "to be in a po- i if -a WASHINGTON President Eisenhower's speech writer, Kevin McCann, said txitlay he has decided against a "second term" for himself regardless of what his boss chooses to do. "I've got to get back to Do- fiance, Ohio, to resume my job as president of Defiance College," McCann told a reporter, "If I don't, they're liable to be looking for a new president.

They won't be needing me here next year" For about 11 years now ofl and on, McCann has for Eisenhower. And after that long tion. McCann says, it i.s a fairly easy task to write Eisenhower's speeches.

I'm certainly not a ghost McCann maintains Eisenhower will announce his c- ond-term decision quickly "once all the facts are in." 'That's the way the man operates," he said. "He wails until he has enought facts.

Sen.

Capehart replied: too bad Truman didn't think the health a President was important in 1944 when he ran as the vice presidential candidate with a man everybody knew was sick and who died three months afior taking oi'i'ice. "These attacks of. Truman's remind me of flies biting at the hide of an elephant." Sen. Mundt (E-SD), who saw Eisenhower yesterday, said he thinks the President "will give his decision sometime in th-a general area between the 1st and 15th of March." "I'm more inclined to believe that he will be a candidate for re-election than I was three weeks ago." Mundt said.

Murphy said veterans ars forced by the use of "gimmicks" to pay 6 to 10 per cent interest on home loans, despite a legal interest limit of 4V 2 per cent.

"The key gimmick in thb unsavory operation is the practice of discounts on government-backed home mortgages by mortgage bankers up to 11 per cent, with discounts of 5 per cent most mon." he said. "This means the home owner has from $600 to $1,100 added to the cost of a typical $10,000 home in addition to regular interest charges."
