He was queried about it during his recent testimony be fore a House committee. Krock had quoted him as saying a cer tain amount of unemployment "is a healthy thing," that from three to five million out-of-work is "sup portable." when apprised of his error, Truman for once was frank to admit it He. not only apolo gized to Krock, he asked the com mittee chairman to correct the record, explaining "my memory doesn t work very fast This Isn't the first time that Harry has got in trouble with his memory and the record. He dis missed Henry Wallace as secre tary of commerce because of a speech Wallace made, but Wal lace insists HST read and ap proved all of it in advance of de livery. Then Truman and Jimmy Byrnes were quite at odds over their relations when Byrnes was secretary of state. Because of this "memory lapse," the New York Herald-Tribune, edi torializing before Truman recanted his testimony, declared: "A new verb is needed for our language to describe the process of Tru manizing' events. When one doesn't like a particular fact, he simply abolishes it." The H-T calls Tru manizing "one of the truly fine arts, one which requires rare com binations of audacity recklessness and .skill." Now that the former president has made the amende honorable, perhaps we should erase the word coined by the Herald-Tribune. This convenient forgetfulness is, how ever, often observed among poll' ticians. and for that matter it is very common in all walks of life. Denying what some one said an otherperson said you said Is an ordinary escape from embarrass ment. Truman s indulgence is an other proof that he belongs among the common people, though as president he often showed both uncommon perspicacity and cour age, v , wedding. The cathedral was jammed. .
