His impromptu performance came toward the end of a 48 minute tcletour of the Presi dent's recently renovated home, the White House. The Chief Executive person ally guided the TV tour, which was flashed across the country by three major networks. Program Ends Early Originally, it was scheduled for an hour, but Mr. Truman and the three commentators who accompanied him at various times in the tour found them selves at the exit 12 minutes early. The commentators thank ed him for his graciousness, Mr. Truman responded it was a pleasure, and then they said goodbye. As a network musician, Mr. Truman one of the foremost piano devotees ever to occupy the White House violated no un ion rules. James Caesar Petrillo, president of the Musician's Un ion (AFL), gave Mr. Truman an honorary membership card a few years back. . Mr. Truman conducted a non partisan tour, speaking well of the past occupants of the big white mansion, regardless of their political affiliation. No Flowery Talk The President used a casual, conversational tone of voice for most of his descriptive commen tary and steered clear of flowery talk. He used the word "lovely' only five times ana "Deauiuui only three. Mr. Truman was smiling and appeared relaxed once the show got on the air, but he had his nervous moments before it be gan. .For fully five minutes be fore the opening scene, he stood on the first floor, fidgeting Just like any performer about to moke a TV debut. Then, on signal, he went down to the first level to greet Walter Cronkite of the Colum bia Rrnnripastinff Rvstem TV network and soon they were in the diplomatic reception room, where Mr. Truman noted the urnlla fantnrpri nirturps of "some of the most beautiful ladies. 'Good Looking Ladles" Th ntritirpe nn the walls. Mr. Truman said, used to be of ex presidents, but "I think it looks much better with these good looking ladies." He identified for the viewers pictures of Dollie Madison, Mrs. Theodore Roose velt, Mrs. Herbert Hoover and Water Pistol Embargo Ordered for Festival Casper, Wyo.

From then until he came upon the pianos In the East room, Mr. Truman spun an Informal his tory of the White House through its long history with plenty of personal observations on the fur nishings, decor, and former oc cupants. When he told Frank Bourg holzer of the National Broad casting Company another of his "straight men" on the tour, that one of the pianos has about the "finest tone I have ever heard," he was asked to strike a few chords. Plays Piano Mr. Truman sat down and quickly played through a small portion of Mozart's Ninth Sona ta. Then he walked across the room, stood before another piano which he said also has excellent tone. Still standing, he played a few chords not identifiable as a formal composition and finished by running his fingers gingerly down the keyboard. The President confided that "sometime or other, I'm hoping to have a reception and have a two-piano concert in here with two of the w o r 1 d's greatest pianos." He didn't say who would play the pianos. Among the interested close-up spectators was the President's daughter, Margaret, who tagged along close behind him but al ways out of camera range. A concert soloist and a TV star In her own right, Miss Tru man was asked how she would rate her father in his debut as an "entertainer." "How can he miss with three networks?" she quipped.

Millard Overruled by High Court on Ruling The state supreme court last week overruled, the Jackson county circuit court in Its de cision on a dispute over a right-of-way in the Applegate valley. Judge Orval J. Millard of Jose phine county, who was presiding in the case was told to vacate an order of his court or to show cause why it should stand. The case involves .property owned by Ives L. and Lyla J. Brown over which Vivian Whit sett and Roy Whitsett sought to obtain a right of way to the Applegate river. The right-of-way, for a ditch, was sought through condemna tion under a 1945 law, the con stitutionality of which has since been questioned. Judge Millard's order of April 25 granted the right of way. However, the Browns ap pealed to the supreme court to vacate the order. On Thursday the court, through an alternative writ of mandamus gnve Judge Millard the choice of vacating the order or showing cause why It should stand. Assumes Jurisdiction Attorneys involved In the case explained that the supreme court assumed Jurisdiction and issued the writ in order that it might later hear arguments concerning Univcrsity "Mock Convention" Nominates General Eisenhower Eugene (U.R) Gen.

A late move by Taft forces to throw their support to Gov. War ren came too late in the voting to prevent Eisenhower's nomina tion. The mock convention, com- tha constitutionality of the law in question. Section 18 of the Oregon constitution does not per mit private property to be taken without just compensation being rendered first. Judge Millard heard the case last week for 2V4 days.
