Harry Truman Arrives in Chicago To Put the Democratic Show on the Road Chicago (U.ft The jhow'i on the road. Little ol' Harry's here. From the hub-bub around him, you'd think . . . Oh, well, never mind what you'd think. Harry says it isn't so. He's not in it.. But there's no doubt that the preview of the Democratic Na tional Convention caught fire from the moment former Presi dent Truman showed his grin ning face in town. "Hi, Harry!" they hollered at the station. "Welcome, Harry," they whooped at the Sheraton Blackstone hotel, where the Tru mans have a suite for the dura tion. "We love you in Southern Ohio," a Democratic platform committeeman told him. That was during HST's testimony at a Platform Committee hearing Thursday, and it was quite a ses sion. Hearing Room Packed In the Blackstone's Mayfair Boom a night club turned into a newsconference r o o m Mr. Truman sat in front of 11 micro phones at the spot where the floor show used to go on. Ring 'side seats were at a scuffling premium. Democrats and press packed into the place until the standees were bumper-to-bumper behind the seats probably vio lating all fire laws. The room, thus glutted, heated to a temperature that would have graced the black hole of Calcutta. Sweat poured. Women wielded fans. The long char treuse drapes on the walls hung limply, and even the big chan deliers seemed to be dripping perspiration as well as crystal plumbobs. A lady committee woman with blonde hair and black earrings was kept busy hanky-patting her moist face. Even some of the au gust press shucked their coats. Amid this desperate scene, Mr. Truman was the only crisp per son in the room. He wore a blue summer suit, handkerchief squared off in la pel pocket. The sidepieces of his specs glistened, and his white shirtcuffs shot out an inch and a half from his coatsleeves, resting on a green baize tablecover. Mr. Truman was happy. His very utterance drew applause or laughs. He said that the man who gets over to the people the im portance of the "welfare of the Democratic party rather than the welfare of General Motors, will win this election." When a question started, "You, as an elder statesman," Mr. Truman cocked his head and let the questioner finish. Then he said: "I want to correct one thing, Mr. Congressman. I don't pose as an elder statesman." Handclaps and guffaws swept the room.

Hot, Humid Weather Hits South and East By UNITED PRESS Hot, humid weather continued to broil the South and Atlantic Coast states as far north as New York today as weathermen saw no immediate sign of relief. Temperatures were expected to roar into the 90s in most areas, reaching 100 degrees or better in some Southern sectors. The heat has been searing the Southern Plains east of the Rockies through the Gulf states, and moved northeastward into the mid-Atlantic states Thurs day. Meanwhile, cooler air moved into the Northern Plains, the upper and middle Mississippi Valley and the Ohio Valley. Some temperature drops were noted Thursday night in the upper Great Lakes region. Duck Drowns in Poof At Multnomah Fair Gresham (U.R) The duck pool at the Multnomah county fair was drained yesterday so it would be hip deep on a short legged mallard. The reason: An Indian White Runner duck which hatt been placed in the pool drowned. A fair official said the duck had the lines of a swimmer and no one thought of a duck not being able to swim. Back Stairs: Those Missing Pencils Washington (U.RX Back ; stairs at the White House: j At each meeting of the Na i tional Security Council, a dis j tinctive type of mechanical pen I cil and notepad is put at the ' place of each conferee. Pencils and pads are carefully collected after each session, presumably to destroy any tell-tale scribbles or doodles that might hint at a national secret. ; . The NSC is one of the most secret, most trusted bodies of the government. Theoretically, above reproach. The council meets weekly at the White House. At the risk of causing the gov ernment to tremble, however, it is possible to report that two of the pencils have disappeared recently. Could it be that President Ei senhower will open the next NSC meeting by glaring around the room and saying, "All right. who has those missing pencils?" The normally white hair of Sherman Adams, the assistant to the President, recently has taken on a slightly golden sheen. Cor ridor gossip is that it is due to the chlorine in the White House swimming pool. Adams is an ardent swimmer and through frequent exercise, keeps a trim, athletic figure. The President took time out this week to pose for a picture with the dozen or so legislative liaison officers of his own and cabinet staffs who helped him keep in touch with the progress of administration bills and other matters during the just ended session of Congress. What did the talk center on as the group stood outside the Pres ident's office on the steps to the rose garden? The actual topic, far removed from legislative problems, was small mouth bass. Movie showings at the White House have been resumed again since the President's return from Panama and his farm con valescent period. But the films are still most frequent when Mrs. Eisenhower is in residence. Mr. Eisenhower, who carries his love of Westerns to films as well as books, has been known more than once to walk out on the private showings with "That's All, Boys" on a non Western film, especially, as one aide puts it, if there's any "girly girly stuff." Press Secretary James C. Hag erty has disappeared on a vaca tion his first in a long time, his last for a long time. Jim prob ably will spend some days in his native haunts around New York and find a secluded spot to play golf before returning to the highly active pursuits of an election year.
