One of the awards was made posthumously to I ' Leslie Coffelt, who died of wounds in the e gun-battle. The President, aking the presentations, was affected so deeply, he could hardly speak. His voice was choking as he concluded the citations, by saying: "I thank you, gentlemen, who did your duty so well." LE'rl'ER Y u'll hr ly believe this next when say it - President Truman has written anoth r etter. This time, to make matters more astoni hing, it 1s in relation to - religion, churches, prayer. The correspondence was made public tonight by Congressman Edward Hebert of Loui iana, a member of the President's own Democratic Party. On December Fifth, just a weak ago, the Congressman sent a letter to the President, suggesting - a day of prayer. illH••l■lwt "I suggest," he wrote, ''that you, as Preaidt:'nt ot the United states, call upon the churches or Alllertca, aatholtc, Protestant and Jewtah, to set aside a Sunday between now and Christnaa to appeal to Al■ighty God tor guidance and wisdom, 1n what I believe to be the Oethsemane of our existence." fo this the President replied in a letter conaisttng of two paragraphs. The first was in a vein suitable to the appeal. ts en ~~ called.., attention •f 11 I t■tnDI 8 z r 11ns to the Thanksg1v1ag Day proclamation issued by LfflER - 2 the White House - a proclamation with a SWIIDons to prayer. The President thought that answered the suggestion made by the Congressman. But then CBJDe the second paragraph, as follows: epistle "I •m extremely sorry," said the TrwnanAlt\ 11 J\ ''that the s&nt1Jlents expressed in your letter were not thought ot before NAvember Seventh, when the campaign in yo~r state, Utah, North Carolina, Illinois and Indiana, was carried on in a manner that was as low as I've ever seen - and Ive been 1n this gaae since Nineteen Six.

(rn the states mentioned, RepQblicane won victories 1n some of them. In N rth Carolina, the candidate backed by the Administration was defeated in the Democratic prillary. As for Louisiana, & the Congres•an's home state, all went well for the Administration - though Louisiana ' is included i • •- 1 ,,tr In these political battles, n the blas1:- g l I ~ - as in others, th o ponents of the dm1n tration attacked the Truman foreign policy a nd made c ha r ges of c ommunists in government. But , still, why the political blast in reply to a letter suggesting a day of prayer1) To this the Louisiana Congressman replied: "My dear Mr. President, I am tunned by the contents of your letter." To which he added that it was, in his words - "regrettable that you saw fit to gratuitously inject political distemper in your reply." All of which can only make us wonder about the writing of letters - the Truman list al having already included the and a music critic. ( r ■ ,~:~ And now - religion, churches, and prayer.
