Description

President Harry S. Truman speaks from the back of his special train today in Parkersburg, West Virginia. He is denouncing Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Republican candidate for President, and John Foster Dulles, GOP Foreign Policy Advisor, accusing them of talking loosely about rolling back the iron curtain to liberate the enslaved peoples of Eastern Europe. This, the President said, increases the risk of atomic war with Russia. With the President (center) on the platform are: Sen. Harley M. Kilgore and Rep. M.G. Burnside, Democrats from West Virginia. From: Houston Post.
