Baruch Says HST
Knew of Donations
To 1940 Campaign
New York U.R) Bernard Ba
ruch tossed back to the winter
White House Thursday his ans
wer to denials that the President
was unaware of his contribu
tions to Mr. Truman's 1940 Mis
souri senatorial campaign.
The elder statesman said Wed
nesday night that Mr. Truman
not only knew about the con
tributions but "very graciously
thanked me in person."
"I very distinctly remember
he came in once to see me when
1 was in Washington and thanked
me graciously," Baruch said.
Mentioned in Article
The white-haired financier's
part in Mr. Truman's successful
campaign for a second Senate
term 12 years ago was mentioned
in a Saturday Evening Post ar
ticle. "What You Don't Know
About Truman," by Samuel Lu-
bell. an associate of Baruch.
Lubell said Baruch "contrib
uted generously" to the cam
paign.
Gov. James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina said that Baruch made
two large contributions to help
Mr. Truman in his bid for re
election to the Senate.
Knowledge Denied
'"Mr. Truman requested me to
ask Mr. Baruch for assistance
and I did so and Mr. Baruch con
tributed generously," Byrnes
said. "Then a second time Mr.
Truman made a similar request
to me to ask Mr. Baruch for as
sistance. I again did so and Mr.
Baruch again contributed."
When White House Press Sec
retary Joseph Short was asked
for comment following publica
tion of Lubell s article, he said
Mr. Truman had no way of
knowing who contributed to his
campaign because the money
was sent to the Missouri Demo
cratic organization."
A Nichols? Worth of
Comment On
BY HARMAN
United ; Press
Washington (U.PJ This
was right after the late war. A
little American girl, w h o se
daddy was Ger
man-born, was
hiding out,
trembling.
Out yonder
was a cow.
Somebody
else's cow. The
little girl would
sneak through
the brush,
kneel and pull
the "cords." It
Harmon Nichols became a habit
uie only wuy to get milk in
Germany. But it was "skim"
milk even right from the cow.
As Mary Ann Scherer told it
to me, that was the only way a
cow could give milk in Germany
in those days.
"The cows had no more to
eat than we did. So how could
they produce any butterfat," she
said simply. j
Mary Ann, fattened up, pretty
and 17, is back in America to
day little the worse for eating
potato peels and drinking skim
milk. She told me her story over
a glass of orange juice.
Taken to Homeland
Her daddy, John A. Scherer,
was born in Germany. He came
over here and had taken out
only his first papers when he
decided to take his family back
to the homeland to visit the
grandparents. - - .
Mary Ann was a tot then and
doesn't remember the boat ride.
Then along came the war. The
father was drafted into the Ger
man army.
The mother, an older brother,
and Mary Ann were left in a
town known as Windheima-isch,
which to Ann became known
as the "home of The Winds."
"We heard a lot of firing and
we were sniped at and we were
cold, but we didn't get hurt,"
she said. "The schools closed
and my brother and I didn't
learn much."
Took Ride for Food
During those days, Mary Ann
said, the folks in the town used
to ride atop a freight car 300
to 400 miles to get potato peels.
"We used to put them into a
pot, along with some pepper,
the blood from an animal, and
make what we called 'blood

148 City Teachers Elected
By District School Board
A total of 148 teachers in Med-
ford public schools were elected
by the District 49 school board
at a meeting held Tuesday night.
The board did not consider the
names of teachers who notified
the board that they were not
candidates for reelection.
The board elected no new
teachers at the meeting. Those
elected must accept or reject

sausage," she recalled. "It
wasn't too bad."
Also, said Mary Ann, Amer
icans over there used to be a
little more fortunate than oth
ers. They had clothes. They
would trade these for flour. The
flour went to the baker and the
baker came up with fine, black
bread. The Americans would
smuggle it to the neighbors. The
neighbors were grateful.
Tea for Drinks
For drink well, tea.
Mary Ann, who was born near
Cranford, N. J., recalls that there
were linden trees over there.
When dried, those leaves could
be made into mighty fine tea.
When the war ended the
Scherer family .became heroes
all. They got on the list of the
American Red Cross for pack
ages. Bags of clothes, food,
canned or otherwise and the
like.
"For a half a bar of candy
I was the queen for a day," Mary
Ann says.
