Ltbtock, (Tot). Ive-Jug Joenwl, Friday, Jm: If 53 Sec. Pago I Truman Sees For World In Farewell Speech Russian Plans Said Doomed By ED CREAGH Retiring President TrumaB predicts Soviet Russia's aggressive schemes will collapse, sooner or late, under the growing weight of the free world's defenses. And that, he forecast in a farewell message to the nation from the White House last night, will lead to a new golden an era of spreading world authority, and of peace "as far ahead as man can see." Truman took over the nation's radio and television networks a highly personal, sometimes emotional, review of his eight turbulent years in the White House and for a guess at how they may look in the light of history. Points To Dangers He pointed to dangers of a possible new world war that would dig the grave of Western civilization and of Its Communist enemy alike.

He disclaimed for this nation any will to provoke such a conflict by hurling ultimatums or by using terrible new weapons: "Starting an.atomic war is totally unthinkable for rational men." He called for complete public support of his successor, Dwight D. Eisenhower. Controversies Behind Finally, putting eight years of controversy behind, the outgoing President ended 'his valedictory with a gentle: "Good God bless you all." As he did so, Mrs. Truman and Margaret appeared on either side of him for. the TV cameras.

Truman's last address from the decorated oval office he will vacate Tuesday came only a few hours after he handed firm of advice to his successor: Free-for-all news conferences toay be tough on you but don't give them up the people are to them. Newsmens' Bights Upheld It at just such a come-what- may session 'with newsmen his 324th and the President read a formal statement upholding the right of newsmen to ask a chief executive, on behalf of the nation, all sorts of questions in open It's important to a democracy, Truman said, that "every medium of communication between the citizens and their government, particularly the president, be kept open as far possible." He went on: "This kind of news conference where reporters can ask any kind of question they can dream directly to the president of the United States illustrates how strong and how vital our democracy is. There is no other country in the world where the chief of state submits to such unlimited questions." Questions Bongh Truman acknowledged a grin that some of the questions he's been asked have made htm wince. He accepted a reporter's suggestion that he's been known to make blunders at news conferences. Maybe, he said, succeeding presidents can figure out improvements to the existing system but: "I hope they will never cut the direct fine of communication-between themselves and the people." Truman plainly went out of his way to avoid controversy in last night's radio-telefision appearance.

He did, however, try by implication to spike two of the Republicans' chief indictments of his administration: Defends Policies 1. He said his years in office have produced "positive policies" the nation has acted with "speed and courage and decisiveness," as it did in KoreaJ. "We have averted World War HI up to now," Truman said, "and we may already have succeeded in establishing conditions which can keep that war from happening as far ahead as man can see." This counters the GOP claim that the administration has allowed the nation to drift close to a new world war. 2. He asserted that "real prosperity" has been brought to the great majority, of the American people.

Here Truman challenged the Republican charge that the country is perched shakily on the crest of a war economy.

War Plants For U.S. Jury Ponders Fate Of Reds Standby Price And Wage Controls Also Recommended In Case War Breaks Out WASHINGTON, Jan.

16 (IP) The National Advisory Board-on Mobilization Policy today recommended construction of a standby plant capacity plus a standby price-1 wage control law for use if war breaks out, The 16-member board its final.report—with three 1 members President Truman. But'its recommen-1 dations for strengthening preparedness were aimed directly at President-elect Eisenhower. Backs Up -M-Day Plan The report backs up an M-day- plan, already, set forth by Mobilization Director Henry H. Fowler and endorsed by President Truman, who earmarked 700 million dollars for it in his proposed billion dollar budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The plan, in effect, calls for federal technical and financial aid to industry forgetting up munitions! plants.

They would be geared for' war, always up to date in design and technique, as an alternative to actually producing munitions that might be obsolete before they were used. One union and two industry members of the board dissented, from the report. Their criticism was leveled mainly at the -board's operation under the Truman administration and at the form of the report itself.
