War Shadows Lifting At White House
b t
First Lady Makes Mansion More Homelike
By OWEN MORGAN
UP Stiff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 31 (UP)
The tinniest shnclows of war
are beginning to lift from the
WTiite House.
Mrs. Harry S. Truman's first
"at home" for newspupcr women
gave promise of a new era of hos
pitality and festivity at the exec
utive mansion once tfio war with
Japan is won.
Outside the mansion's grey
white walls still ere cracked nnd
peeling. Guns still point from
turrets on the roof.
But within the marine orches
tra, clothed all in scarlet, played
waltz after waltz. The tea table
was loaded with small cakes nnd
candy. The paneled state dining
room was crowded with guosts.
There was a difference from
other White House teas of the lost
two-front war yenrs. The cakes
were plumper. The music was
ga.V.
It was Mir. Truman's second
lea as first lady the first one
with the orchestra. She enter
tained last week for the diplo
matic corp3.
White House Is Homolike
The tea was a sort of house
warming party. Mrs. Truman,
who received with Margnret in
the brilliant red room, showed
her guests around the mansion.
She said they had tried to make
it as homelike as possible. ,
The Trumans succeeded. ' In
the spacious living quarters on
the second floor the colors were
soft pastels grays, pinks and
blues. There wore three pianos
and about six photographs of
Margaret. '
A colored photograph of the
late President Koosvcvlt stood on
a table upslairs in the broad cen
tral hallway. The Trumans all
dwell at one end of the house.
At the other end is the Hose
room, where Prince Abdul Ilah
of Iraq ilept Monday night,

cigarettes. It was a fake. The
brand was called "No."
Across the hall was Margaret's
domain a sitting room of blue
containing her own grand piano,
Her bedroom was pink. Most of
the pictures were of girl friends.
One, she said, was her next door
neighbor in Independence, Mo.
Mrs. Truman said Margaret
just couldn't study here but
planned to remuin at the "sum
mer White House" in Independ
ence all summer.' They will both
leave shortly. Mrs. Truman will
return after a two-week stay.
Margaret, who alms to become
an opera stnr, plans to take voice
lessons this summer three times
a week. Sha already knows three
roles in Rigolctto, Traviata and
Lucia.
An oil painting of Mr. Truman
hangs in Mrs. Truman's sitting
room the same sitting room Mrs,
Roosevelt used. The new first
lady also bus the same small cor
ner bedroom.
Downstairs a new portrait has
been hung In the While House
lobby. It is right across from one
of the late Calvin Coolidge. It
said:
"Franklin D. Roosevelt of New
York. :2nd president, March 4,

Douglas soon will begin pro

"With these three skycar

create a greater demand for
