BEING URGED, TWO PARTIES Domestic, _Fgéign Prob- lems Are Not Altered by Recent Election ERNEST B. VACCARO By WASHINGTON, Nov. 11—Presi- dent Truman called upon both * Democrats and Republicans today to exercise “wisdom and restraint” in operation of the Government under divided Party control. He told the nation that the Par- ties must examine their respective “with stern and critical " to exclude any attemptj “to Lampe) with the public inter- est in order to achieve personal or partisan advantage.” Mr. Truman said in a statement read to his news conference that the Democratic defeat in last Tues-; day's election “does not alter our domestic or foreign interests or problems.” He reminded that “in foreign affairs we have a well-} charted course to follow.” | The President declared he knew } of no resignations planned by members of his Cabinet and said that Charles G. Ross will continue as his Press Secretary. In response to a question, President said a decision on wheth- er leaders of the new Republican- controlled Congress will be called to the White House for weekly | i i the i conferences is one to he made lat-| er. Mr. Truman characterized for- eign policy as “a national and not a party program.” He added: H “It will continue to be a national program insofar as the Secretary of | sState and T are concerned. I firm-| ly believe that our Republican col- | lzagues who have worked intelli- | gently and cooperatively with us m\ the past will do so in the future. ! The President said he is con- cerned “lest any in either party | should seek in this field (of for-! cign affairs) an opportunity to, achieve personal notoriety or parti- | san advantage by exploitation of | ihe sensational or by the mere cre- ation of controversy.” “We are set upon a hard coufse,” Mr. Truman said. “An effort by either the Executive or the Legis- lative branch of the Government to embarrass the other for partisan! gain would bring frustration to our country.” | Mr. Truman pledged his cooper- ! ation “in every proper manner” | with Congress—to meet “faith with faith,” and “good will with good will.” Delaware is often called the Dia-| mond State, because of the con-} centration of wealth in such a; small area. The Washmgion' Merry - Go- RoundI By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON — Senator Ful- bright’s proposal that President Truman step down has thrown the Arkansas brain trust at the White Hcuse into a spasm. They take it as a personal insult, a move aimed directly at their near mon-; opoly-hold on Truman. Most people don’t realize it, but Arkansans have actually edged out Missourians when it comes to White House brain-trusters.
