President Truman Finds He Cannot Enjoy the Fair CARUTH ERSVILLE, Oct. o (UP) President Truman was a thoroughly frustrated man at the fair yesterday. He couldn't throw a single ball at a single bottle and he couldn't eal cotton conay or drink pink lemonade. The cooch dancers were out-of- bounds for him. So were the merry-go-round and the ferris wheel. All he could do was sit in the judge's stand at the race track chew gum and listen to people cheer him. Because it wasn't their old friend who attended the fair for the 11 preceding years it was the president of the United States, accompanied by a cortge of big shots from Washington, secret service agents and a horde of Washington correspondents and photographers. . .
