Fine food - Cocktails -Dancing Branding Iron Wall Cowboy Round Table - f , Feb. 22 original nI ornorot story of her father By JUSTINE WEATHERFORD Marian Brosnan reviewed the 1973 best-selling biogra phy, "Harry S. Truman," for the Bookworm Club at its first February meeting. The hardback original pub lication was by William Mor row & Co., Inc., but the reviewer used Pocket Books' paperback edition, $1.95, The edition presents 49 photo graphs, and has a 20 page index included in its 660 pages. Mrs. Brosnan told how the narrative covers Truman's life from his Missouri boyhood and early years in business and politics through the mo mentous years in Washington when he served as U.S. Senator, Vice-President and President to his long and productive retirement in Independence. A New York Times review claims "To hear Mr. Tru man's common sense cutting through the vagaries of politi cal thinking in an intense pleasure." Daughter Mar garet writes with the intimate insight that only she can provide as she describes all the great events she and her father experienced. Her por trait shows one of the most ardent family men ever to occupy the White House, or, as he called it, the "Big White Jail." Often when affairs of state separated him from the most important people of his life--his wife, daughter, moth er and sisterhe would send them affectionate letters that described the great events as they were happening and the world leaders he was meeting. Many of these letters are published for the first time in this book which make "Harry S. Truman" stand out as a great human and the book a significant historical docu ment. Two of the many enjoyable passages deal with the chris tening of the battleship Mis souri and with Truman's approach to the vice-presidency. After he became Presi dent, Truman still fumed about the Missouri launching which had taken place during his senatorial period. A letter home included this: "The darned Navy have tried to give me an impossible schedule (for a trip to Flori da). As you know, every Admiral in nine hundred miles wants to be seen with the President. But they are going to be disappointed. I'll never forget what the same Admi rals did to me and my sweet daughter at the launching of the Missouri. "The same Admirals should read Josh Billings-should have read him before the launching. He said 'Always be nice to your pore relations they may suddenly become rich someday and it will be hard to explain.'" A letter to Margaret written July 9, 1944 in answer to her question as to whether he was eager to be nominated vice president : "Yours was a very nice letter and I was so happy to get it in the first mail yesterday.

The ordeal of F.D.R.'s death and Truman's inauguration is carefully covered in the book as are the many great situations Harry Truman faced during his administra tion. Max Lerner of the New York Post states, "Memories come welling back ... I like it when a daughter mines her father's past and comes up proudly and lovingly with rich nug gets, in anecdotes, family letters, earthy private re marks. She tries hard to be objective, but this is one case where historical objectivity is for the birds and where the subjective daughter's eyeview, is irreplaceable." As she wrote, Margaret consulted her dad, then in his 80s. On her final page she says, "I asked Dad if he wanted to say anything spe cial to close this book. He though for a moment and said that if he had to select one statement to sum up his life in politics, he would choose a speech he made in North Carolina during the 1948 campaign. "It was the only time we invaded the South during those tumultuous weeks. Stirred by the setting, Dad spoke from his heart. He discussed three Southerners who became Presidents of the United States-Andrew Jack son, James K. Polk and Andrew Johnson. All of them, Dad said, 'lived through. days when reason was overcome by emotion,' and because of this 'their acts were misunder stood and misinterpreted. So it is not surprising that the estimates of these men made by their contemporaries have been almost discarded .by ;later generations.' "But the thing that made the lives of these Presidents most meaningful to him was the way their policies had aroused the wrath of some sincere and honest men. That, Dad said, was 'a serious thing. A Presi dent may dismiss the abuse of scoundrels, but to be de nounced by honest men, honestly outraged, is a test of greatness that none but the strongest men survive.' "There was, he concluded, only one lesson to be drawn from the story of these three Presidents, 'Do your duty and history will do you justice. "In this book I have tried to show you how a strong man, whom I happen to love very much, did his duty. I am confident that history will do him justice." The Chicago Sun-Times Showcase stated, "A warm, intimate and moving biogra phy, written well and with distinction. ..makes you fell as if you're at the Truman family dinner table."
