??lYRate"itizen Harry Truman Heads for Home
By hRNF.ST R. VACCARO I t , ..
"""""" 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.
