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.
