(AP) — President Truman declared today that post-Marshall Plan abandonment of aid to Western Europe would be disastrous to peace. In a world "fall of dangers," he declared, the United States must continue its contributions to free nations lest "the communists move in." He made it clear in an address prepared for graduation exercises of the University of Missouri that he is convinced "our vital national interest in a health world economy" will not end when Marshall Plan aid stops in 1952. “You hear a lot of talk these days to the effect that the world is full of dangers, and that our civil- MIRACULOUSLY ALIVE is Beryl S.

He made it clear in an address prepared for graduation exercises of the University of Missouri that he is convinced "our vital national interest in a health world economy" will not end when Marshall Plan aid stops in 1952. "You hear a lot of talk these days to the effect that the world is full of dangers, and that our civilization is heading straight for disaster," the president asserted. "Of course, the world is full of dangers—the world has always been full of dangers, for people in every country and at every period of history." But in spite of these dangers, he said, "our civilization need not wind up in disaster." "It can go on to greater heights. Those who are frightened and dismayed do not have faith that men will use scientific advances for good ends. They see only the dangers in the world—not the opportunities." Mr. Truman's speech was part of a program including his being awarded an honorary doctor of laws degree and a membership key in Phi Beta Kappa, the scholarship society. He was to return to St. Louis this afternoon for a reunion of the 35th division in which he served in World War I. The president's speech added up to an implied warning to Russia that the emotions stirred up in this country by foreign policy debates do not indicate weakness in a democracy.

He told the Columbia graduates that “stupendous military expenditures,” though “essential ‘for the country’s safety,’ are one of the major problems to be faced in the future. Eisenhower recently said before a U.S. Senate Appropriations subcommittee that our military budget had been trimmed as far as was wise—“even too far.” He said at that time that he might have added a few hundred million dollars—not more than $500,000,000—to the proposed budget for arms, if he had his way. However, before the committee he also listed a healthy economy as an essential for national safety. General Eisenhower said today that the danger of wrong answers to the nation’s own problems is as critical as the danger from “world revolution, with an announced purpose of destroying the American system of government.” List Problems He listed among the problems the graduates must face: The growing and, apparently, voluntary dependence of many (Continued on Page 2) Local Men Hurt In Freak Crash Two Anaheim residents busily loading a truck were seriously injured in a freak accident yesterday afternoon when they were struck by an automobile careening from the path of a Southern Pacific train.

SAN FRANCICO (AP)—Governor Earl Warren continued today to pile up a huge two-party vote in his bid for a third term. But he’ll have to fight it out with James Roosevelt in November. Warren, a Republican, outdrew his Democratic rival by over 600,000 on both tickets in the nearly complete count of returns in Tuesday's primary election. Roosevelt, however, led by close to 200,000 for his party—and the party of his late presidential father. The returns shaped these other November runoffs: U. S. Senate—Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas, Democrat, versus Rep. Richard Nixon, Republican. Attorney General—Edmund G. (Pat) Brown, Democrat, versus Edward S. Shattuck, Republican. While Warren faced another fall campaign, Republican Lt. Gov. Goodwin J. Knight of Los Angeles was assured reelection. He whelmed Raymond V. Darby Angels county supervisor, for Republican nomination. And proved a better Democratic getter than State Senator George Miller of Richmond in defeating Roosevelt's running mate for Democratic bid. These other state offices achieved two-party victories won't have to run again in November: Secretary of State Frank Jordan, Controller Thomas Kuchel and Treasurer Charlie Johnson. In a non-partisan race, Roy Simpson, the incumbent, gained a new term as superintendent of Public Instruction Bernadette Doyle of San Diego.
