PRESIDENT’S MOTHER IS 93
WASHINGTON — The President’«
mother is 93 years old. It’s been a
king 93 years of taking knocks and
enjoying good times since her birth
November 25. 1852.
That was just two years after the
famous Missouri compromise which
historians claim contributed to the
Civil war. In the years that have
passed, the Jackson county farm
where Martha Ellen Truman was
born has become 33rd and Indiana
avenue in Kansas City, while her
son, whom she never expected to be
President, now sits in the White
House.
Like her son, Mrs. Truman is a
friendly person who likes company,
including newspaper reporters. And
if it wasn’t for her maiden daughter,
Miss Mary Jane Truman, who lives
with her. and another son, who lives
not far away, the President’s mother
would be a mecca of news interest.
But whenever her son and daughter
see a reporter approaching, death

If you are fortunate enough to
meet Mrs. Trumat, however,
you can understand where her
son gets his energy. Except for
being slightly hard of hearing,
she is exceptionally hearty. Her
voice Is crisp, her observations
pointed, and she possesses a
poise and calmness of spirit rare
in women of her age.
Like her son. who likes to get up
early, Mrs Truman is up with the
dawn and about her household tasks.
The house in Grandview. Mo., is a
one-story affair, which enables her
to get about without climbing stairs.
A half-acre yard, enclosed by wire,
surrounds the house. Four rocking
ehairs are in the front room.
First American-Made Jet-Propelled Robot Bomb
This U. 8. built Northrop jet bomb, a vast improvement over the German version, is built on the flying
wing pattern and carries its jet engine in the stubby, barrel-shaped center bulge of the wing itself. Giant
magnesium casting in the inner wing carries the bomb’s warheads, or explosive charges. These bombs were
built by Northrop and delivered to the army. Span of the jet bomb is about 30 feet. Model is shown on minia
ture track. In the air, insert. Is the real thing.
Ado
Chinese Get Into Spirit
HELPED HARRY’S CAMPAIGN.
Mrs. Truman reads with interest,
occasionally attends the Baptist
church, knows everyone in Grand
view and until recently took an
active part in the affairs of the com
munity.
Back in 1934 when she was a rela
tive youngster of only 82. Mrs. Tru
man even took an active part in
Harry's campaign for the Democrat
ic senatorial nomination, making
frequent trips into Missouri counties
visiting old friends in behalf of her
son. Then, during the last Presiden-
tial campaign, she opened her home
to women of Washington township
communities and served as chair-
man of county group meetings for
women party workers.
When Truman first was mentioned
as vice presidential nominee, his
mother didn't want him to be vice
president.
“Harry is doing a good job in
the senate,” she said. "And he
ought to stay there.”
But listening to radio returns the
night of the election, she switched
chairs frequently and refused to go
to bed until definite word of a Demo
cratic victory was received.
"If Harry doesn't win,” she com
mented then, “he won’t be dis
graced. After all, it won't kill him
to lose.”
Months later, when Truman
was elevated to the Presidency
by the death of the late Frank-
tin Roosevelt, she said: " I never
thought Harry would be Presi
dent some day. like most mothers
think. 1 never thought he would
be vice president—nor senator,
for that matter. But whatever he
is—I’m for him.”

And anyone who has ever talked
with Mrs Truman cannot deny that.
Her eyes never fail to twinkle when
someone mentions her son.
