"""""" Slart Writer EN ROUTE TO INnEPF.Nn. EN('E, MO. Harry S. Trum ex-president ot the United States, took the long trip h Wednesday, After nearly eight years as the head nf a "great government " he headed tor Missouri in the role of "Mr. Truman, private citi zen." And alone with Mrs. Truman in the spender n hi private railroad ear in which he had stormed the country in many a fiery campaign trip, he hail opportunity to reflect again upon an eventful career and take thought of the future. For Harry Truman, despite his 68 years, has made clear that he will be a man to reckon with in the years ahead, His emotions were stirred, as they have seldom been stirred before, by the sendoff he got at Washington Tuesday night at the end of a trying day in which he surrendered the presidency to Dwight f. Eisenhower. Hundreds of cheering Demo cratic followers thronged around the rear platform of the presi dential car which Eisenhower had placed at his predecessor's disposal. District nf Columbia Commissioner F. Joseph Dona hue described Truman as "the greatest friend" of "little people all over the world." An obvious lump in his throat, Hie gray-haired Truman, his wife and daughter by his side, res ponded that "in all my career, and it has been a long one, I've never had an experience like this." "This is the first lime I ve had the experience of being sent home in a blaze of glorv. ' he went on. "I'll never forget this if 1 live In be a hundred and that's what t expect to do." For more than 30 minutes, people climhed aboard the car to pump his hand, tell him good bye and wish him luck and pre dict that the Democrats again will be restored to power. Truman is due in Independ ence, Mo., Wednesday night for a hometown welcome. irumans future nlans mained a subject for specula lion. Rut he may disclose, them within a few days after he has had a rest. For the first time since he suc ceeded to the presidency, Tru man was powerless to rio any thing ahnut this train. For it is a regularly scheduled passenger train ot the. B k 0, and the private car hooked onto it. And Harry Truman is no longer riding on a special train subject to his orders. The train slopped first at Silver Springs, Mri., where from two to ihree hundred people turned out to wave at him. He barely had lime In wave hack until it was on Its way again. At Martinsburg, W. Va., there were several hundred on hand at the railroad station. But he fore more than a score of them could work their way back to the special car, the train was on the move again. Gone were the Secret Service agents who guarded his every step for so long. Missing were the Army, Navy and Air Force aides. No pilot car rode ahead of this train to check the tracks, no rule ot the railroads requir ed that every bridge and trestle over which his homeward bound car moved be guarded by armed police and railroad detectives. And Harry Truman, ex-presi dent, shorn of his presidential trappings, stayed within his pri vate car. For, while reporters rode two cars behind, they were few in number, and the club car immediately next to his quarters was largely occupied by strang ers. Reporters recalled how he lov ed to stroll the length of the special train, sticking his nose into drawing rooms and com partments to voice a greeting while enroute to the engine to sit with the engineer for miles at a time. It didn't matter too much last night for Truman was tired. Tuesday had been a long and exhausting day.
