Byrnes Asked Truman to Nominate
Him for Vice President in 1944
WASHINGTON (UP) Former,
President Truman struck a new
blow in his bitter feud with James
F. Byrnes recently by telling his
"inside story of their rivalry lor
the 1944 Democratic vice pres
ident nomination.
He said that although he (Mr.
Truman) was the late President
Roosevelt's choice for Ihe No. 2
spot on die Democratic ticke.
Byrnes telephoned just before the
convention and "told me thai
President Roosevelt had decided
on him as the new nominee for vice
president, and asked me if I would
nominate him at the convention."
'I believe," Mr. Truman saij,
"that Byrnes knew that the Presi
dent had named me at the time re
called me."
(Byrnes told the United Press at
Columbia, S C., hat he had no
comment "at this time. . .ahjut
any statement Mn Truman mu';es
about me. . .")
Mr. Truman's version of one of
the most sharply-disputed chapters
in American politics was contained
the third installment of his
memoirs published by Life maga
zine.
Byrnes, who was to become Mr.
Tinman's secretary of state &nd
later governor of South Carolina,
was the late President Roosevelt's1
top White House assistant in 1944.
Mr. Truman was a Missouri sera
tor who had won national ren'vn
as head of the Senate War Investi
gating Committee. With Vice Pres
ident Ilenpy A. Wallace and Su
preme Court Justice William O.
D'uigHs-, they were leading pros
pects f r the second spot on FDR c
fourth-term ticket a job that was
fated to lead to the presidency
upon Roosevel's death in 19-15.
Mr. Trunuut Preferred
Mr. Truman said that unbeknown
to him. FDR met with Democratic
parly leaders "far in advance" of
the 1944 party convention, and ton
them that "he preferred Truman
over Wailuce, Douglas or Byrnes."
At the meeting, Mr. Truman said,
the President wrote a longhand
note to Democratic national chair
man Robert Hanncgan saying
"Bob. it's Truman, FDR
"At the same meeting," Mr. Tru
man said, "he (FDR) instructed
(Postmaster General Frank.
Walker to notify Byrnes of the!
decision."
Just before the convention met,
Mr. Truman said, Byrnes tele
phoned him and "told , me thai
President Roosevelt had decided
on him as the new nominee lor
vice president, and asked me if I
would nomuiale him at the con
vention." "I believe," said Mr. Truman,
"that Byrnes knew that the Presi
dent had named me at the time he
called me.
Mr. Truman sard he had no idea
at that time that FDR had tapped
him, and on the basis of Byrnes"
phone call he "took it for granted"
that Byrnes was the choice.
Mr. Truman said he told Byrnes
he would be glad to place his nam.

wanted him for a running mate

tried to line up support for Byrnes

at the convention, even after Han-
negan. labor union leaders and
others "put pressure on me" i
seek the post.
He said he "continued to resist
until FDR, in a telephone call to
llunnegan which Mr. Truman could
overhear, asserted that Mr. Tru
man would "break up the Demo
cratic party in the middle of n
war" if he turned down the nomi
nation. I was completely stunned," said
Mr. Truman. "I sat for a minute
or two and then got up and began
walking around the room. 'Well,'-1
said finally, 'if that is the situation,
I'll have lo say yes. but why the
hell didn't he tell me In the first
place?"
Oher Highlights
Other highlights of the third in
stallment of the Tinman memoirs:
1. In May. 1945, soon after he
lecame President, he sent Harry
Hopkins to Moscow with instruc
tions to use "a baseball bat" if
necessary to persuade Soviet Pre
mier Josef Stalin to bring Russian
forces Into the war against Japan
at "as early a date as possible."
This was after the Yalta confer
ence at which Russia had promised
to enter the Far East war in return
for concessions in Munchuria
2. He estimates that the Sen
ate War Investigating Committee,
which he headed, saved the Ameri-
can taxpayers J.T billion dollars
and saved countless lives in the
armed forces by exposing waste,
inefficiency and "cheating on spe
cifications in production of arms.
3. The important functions of
congressional Investigating cum
mittees have "suffered violence'
at sonic hards since his day as an
investigator, and "too often, in re
cent times, the committees have
been used for publicity." His nwr.
committee worked "without fan
fare." By contrast, he said, the
methods of the House un-American
Activities Committee at one lime
were "the most un-American th'na
in America."
4. In a letter to his mother, tell
ing of a forthcoming social engage
ment with the general who then
commanded Allied forces in Eu
rope, Mr. Truman said: "Monday
I entertain Eisenhower, a real
man."

adjacent to the senior high school
gymnasium. Thereafter other de

Another suggestion came from

district with a new plant on the
new site in exchange for ihe de
sired property.
No action was taken by the
