P R E S ID E N TS MOTHER IS 93
WASHINGTON. - The President1«
mother Is 93 year« old. If » been ■
long 93 year» of taking knocks and
enjoying good time« since her birth
November 25. 1852.
That win Just two years after the
fnmous Missouri compromise which
historians claim contributed to the
Civil war. In the years that have
passed, the Jackson county farm
where Murtha 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
lurks in their eyes. The newsman is
treated us a carrier of bubonic
plague.
If you are fortunate enough to
meet Mrs. Truman, 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.

Months later, when Truman
was elevated to the Presidency
by the death of the late Frank

And anyone who has ever talked

describing her son when she said:
“He is no slow person. He gets where

they don’t like having him around.
He is trying to mould split-up Demo

early, Mrs Truman is up with the

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
chairs are in the front room.
