holidays.
The plans call for half of those*
eligible to get Christmas leave
and the remainedr New Year’s
leave.
Recruits who have not com-
pleted their 16-week basic train-
ing program will be allowed to
take only Christmas and New
Year’s Day off, Secretary of the
Army Pace said, because of “the
critical requirement of an un-
interrupted flow of trained re-
placements overseas.”
The Navy said it is leaving to
commanders the granting of
leave for sailors except for men
who have reported to boot camps
on or after November 7. These
recruits may be granted only one
day passes for each of the two
holidays.
TRUMAN OUTLINES
RECORD OF WHICH
HE IS PROUD
Washington. — For the next
few months, President Harry S.'
Truman should enjoy a “second
honeymoon” with the American
public. After all, he will soon
be out of office—deprived of any,
powder to help or to harm those
who have considered him their
enemy. Like the watchdog who
has lost his teeth, he will no
longer be an object of fear. He
can be patted on the head, with
complete safety, certain to pro-
vide nothing more than a growl
or a tail wag in return.
Mr. Truman certainly has not
been silent in this campaign. He
has done an unprecedented
thing in barnstorming all over
the length and breadth of the
country, covering thousands of
miles and making scores of
speeches for the man he favored
as his successor. "When he made

his last speech, he told the crowd
at the “whistle stop,” fn. a tone
of regret that he was “kina
sorry it was all over.
He said he, really wanted to
stay in the White House long
enough to see a final victory
over the forces of world Com-
munism, hut that he realized
there Were younger men who
could carry on the battle better
than he. And he thinks his
White House record will one
day be vindicated.
These are the reasons, as Mr.
Truman sees them:
1. He proposed the aid to
Greece and Turkey in 1946, which
blocked the Russian from the
Eastern Mediterranean.
2. He sponsored the Marshall
Plan in 1M7, which kept France
and Italy out of the hands of the
1 Communists.
! 3. He backed the Berlin air-
lift in 1948 which saved Ger-
many from the Reds.
4. Although China and Czech-
oslovakia fell to the Reds in 1948
the Communists have been stop-
ped everywhere along the line in
the four years since.
5. Most recently, the United
Nations troops, with Americans
taking the lead on the orders of
Mr. Truman, stopped the Com-
munists in Korea. Foes of the
President have called this “Mr.
Truman’s War,” The President
hopes in the final verdict of his-
tory, to accept that term proud-
ly. He thinks the world will
remember “Mr. Truman” more
favorably than his countrymen
did when he was in office.
