An example, Ferguson added,
was the executive order Mr
Truman issued last Tuesday on
infoi mation affecting the nation-
al security. The order provides
for tightening and stadardizing
the handling of such information
by civilian agencies, and permits
the withholding of data on se-
curity grounds.
Mr. Truman has asserted the
order “has no element of cen-
sorship, either direct or implied.”

(A)—The Eighth army is “pre-

That warning was issued to-

Mrs. Campbell’s eight-year old
niece, Martha Jane Cross, of Dal-

Mrs. Campbell pointing out one of
the black and white calves. Mrs.
Campbell’s blue eyes shown as
she spoke of her niece. “She
spends a good deal of time here
in the summer, though, of course,
she’s in school now,”' she said.
The calf, with small knobs begin-
ning to appear on her head,
nudged Mrs. Campbell gently in
her search for leaves.
Mrs. Campbell is a native of
Cooke county and attended
school in Spring Grove.
She and Mr. Campbell were
married 34 years ago on Septem-
ber 16 and lived in the same rock
house on Old Denton road for 20
years. In 1947 they moved to their ■
present home on Star route.

some people in the Truman ad-

opposition through “smear tac-
tics and propaganda techniques.”
The charge made b more than
half of the senate’s 46 GOP mem-
bers was set forth in a state-
ment they issued over the week-
end. It pledged a fight to pro-
tect the right of free speech.
The GOP statement contended
the “smear” tactics is being used
by "some persons and groups”
in the administration who are
unable to tolerate criticism.
The White House said the
president has no idea whatso-
ever of rescinding the order.
Presidential Secretary Joseph
Short asserted “there’s nothing
wrong with the order.”
Senator Mundt (R-SD), one of
the signers, called today for
speedy action on a bill to quash
President Truman’s new order
authorizing federal civilian agen-
cies to withhold information for
security reasons.
Mundt called the order “a dan-
gerous impingement on freedom
of the press.”
He spoke out after he and 24
other Republican senators had
signed a statement declaring
“some persons and groups” in
the Truman administration are
unable to tolerate criticism and
are using “smear tactics and
propaganda techniques” to muz-
zle opposition.
Senator Ferguson (R-Mich),
another of the senators, said the
statement was directed mainly at
these moves by the administra-
tion to curb freedom of speech
and the press.”
