Fulton of Pittsburgh, Pa., a Navy lieutenant in the wind-up of the Pacific War. ‘The Pennsylvania Congressman called at the White House to dis- .euss surplus property problems, but couldn’t resist reminding Truman: “I am honcred to be your first appointment, Mr. President, and as a Republican to have the first op- portunity to congratulate you.” “Thenk you very much,” replied the President. “It hasn’t been an easy year, but I've done the best I could.” In a chatty mocd, Truman in- quired at great length about the Fennsylvania’s combat expericnces with advarce naval bombardinent, to brigadier general and will exit.

It was sent s0 hastily it wz not even led it takes a couple | of hours to enccde and decode a diplomatic message. Meanwhile, the secret has now come out that for a long time, Am- bassador Ala was kept completely in the dark by his Government.

However, acting completely on his own, he proceeded to place the dis- pute before the Council. | Aftaward he radioed Teheran involuntary City. ‘When Luis published his now-fa- mous article in the Washington Post, assailing Winston Churchill'’s Fulton, Mo., speech and hinting darkly that any conflict between trip back to Mexico sians pressured the iran-| APRIL 19 Mrs. Walter McKinnon Mrs. R.
