WXTBBW MTOTOFD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Thursday, My II, 1950
Citizens of Umatilla
Pleased At Chance
To Hear President
Umatilla, Ore., May 11 U.R
The big black train from tne
east steamed into the little rail
road station here last night and
the high school band began toot
ling uncertainly the strains of
"Hail to the unier. .
"Where is he?" screamed
young Boy scout in lull regalia
as burly state police whipped
around the end of the train with
lengths of fresh manlla rope.
"Stand back from the end of
the train it may stoo sudden
ly," shouted a man from the rear
platform of the most famous
railroad car In the country.
Doors Swing Open
Before the train stopped, the
doors of the cars ahead swing
open and photographers, report
ers and secret service agents be
gan bailing out. Experience en
abled them to hit the roadbed at
just about the point where the
last car would come to a stop.
"Stand back," roared the local
chief of police as he braced
against the rope, against which
pushed the most active portion
of the Umatilla population.
As the brakes of the train
grabbed harshly on the spinning
wheels and steam hissed from
the side of the train, there
emerged through blue velvet
curtains on the rear car the man
everybody came to see the
president of the United States.
"Hi ya. Harry," shouted sev
eral people in the crowd.
"Pour it on," whooped one old
man who looked like he hadn
shaved in a month.
President Grins
The president grinned and
went immediately into a hand
waving oration about what he
thought was best for the nation
About six secret service agents
edged out through the fringes of
the crowd, not so much to pro
tect the president as to keep the
onlookers from getting too close
to the crushing wheels of the
big Baltimore and Ohio special
from Washington.
At Umatilla, as at every stop
through the northwest. Mr. Tru
man in a cracker-barrel style
made famous in 1948, assured
the people that he was not "run
ning for anything. On this trip,
Mr. Truman said, he is out to
report to the people as their
"hired man" in the White House.
But, he added, in sotto oice
that he d be back out here again
"this season to do a little poll'
ticking."
Clad To Be In Umatilla
The president ended up with
how glad he was to be in Uma-
tiiia. Then with a grand sweep
of his left hand he brought out
Ihc two star performers of his
(rip his wife in a blue dress
and his singing daughter, Mar
garet, in a brilliant green gown.
"Meet the boss." said the presi
dent as Mrs. Truman, patting
down her stylish hair-do came
through the curtain.
"And here's Margie," he said j
with a perfect master of cere
monies gesture toward the cur
tain. Margaret emerged and gave
her best concert stage wave.
"Sing us a song, Margaret," ,
bellowed one man in a red lum
berjack shirt from the track-
fine. i
But before Margaret could so
much as peep the first bar from
one of her favorite operatic arias ;
the president, in the best carni-1
val manner, had waved her and
Mrs. Truman back inside the
blue curtain.
An unkind white light from i
overhead floods beat down on !
the chief executive's grey bair.
"Thanks very much for your (
kind reception here, he said. A ;
warning whistle tooted shrilly,
sending the reporters and the
secret service men hustling back
aboard the train.
The big diesel engines far
ahead pulled away toward the
next stop.
