Washington, Jan. 22.

Mr Harry Truman and Mr Adlai Stevenson today urged the Democratic Party to support Pre- sident Eisenhower on all policies aimed at the United States' good and to serve as an honourable opposition on measures it deemed unwise.

The two top Democrats charted the course for their Party in articles in the Democratic Digest, monthly publication of the Democratic National Committee.

The Committee meldentally, Baganda machinery revealed that I was moving into new and less expensive quarters here.

Mr Truman, who is now at his Jurne in Independence, Missouri, wrote that Presklent Eisenhower would be unable to carry out n truly national for- eign policy without

support, This meant Mr Eisen- hower and the Democrats as well must keep the good of the nation uppermost. But, he add- ed, the Democrats also had the duty to point out and resist policies which are unwise and unsound.
