Truman rebukes Wherry over Korea blood remark in press conference
Washington Aug 17 President Truman condemned Senator Wherry for saying the blood of our boys in Korea is on Secretary of State Acheson's shoulders. He called the remark contemptible and refused to answer a rival attack by Republican Senators, reaffirming bipartisan foreign policy while urging universal military training but not pushing new legislation. Johnson urged standby defense measures as rail talks continue and Labor Day campaigning appears unlikely this year.
