and no mean politician, a friend OF
Senator Truman.
Truman Record.

Senator Truman's record in public
life is creditable, If not extensive. He
served as an artillery officer in the
World War, and his record was good.
He operated haberdashery shop in
Kansas City and it failed. He was
admitted to the bar, and later was
appointed, at the instance of Tom
Pendergast, as county judge. Later
still, he was nominated by the DEM
ocrats for the Senate, also with the
aid of Tom Pendergast, and elected.
The argument made against Mr.
Truman is that, should he become
President, he would be under the in
f1uence OF machine bosses, and of
Mr.. Hapnegan, who at one time
was boss of the Democratic ma
chine in St. Louis. Senator Tru-
man has a reputation for being loyal
to his friends, fine trait. He stuck
up for Pendergast. after the latter
got into trouble with the Govern
ment
Senator Truman, however, is an
honest man, a man of principle.
Any Democrat who entered political
life in Western Missouri at the time
he did, dealt with Pendergast. 1t is
unfair to him to predict he would
be dominated by machine bosses
against the interests of the Amer
lean people if he became President.
| Whether his experience qualities
him for the Presidential job is an
other thing, especially at a time
when the Democratic argument for
the retention of President Roose-
velt rests on the experience Of the
President as Commander in Chief
and as Chief Executive.
Senator Truman was picked for
l the vice presidential nomination by
Evening star., 1944-10-16

elected-has to do with the manner
Of his nomination by the Demo-
cratic National Convention.
1t is pointed out over and over
again that this was accomplished
through the efforts of the big ma
chine bosses of the industrial CEN
ters-after having been cleared
with Sidney Hillman, head of the
CIO Political Action Committee.
The city bosses particularly re-
sponsible for putting the nomination
of Senator Truman across-always
with the approval of President
Roosevelt-were Boss" Kelly of
Chicago. Boss" Hague of Jersey,
and Boss" Flynn of the Bronx. in
New York City.
Further, Senator Truman got his
start in Democratic political life
through the aid of Tom Pender-
gast of Kansas City, boss of one of
the most notorious political rings in
the country, a ring which the citi-
zens Of Kansas City-and of Mis-
souri,, for Pendergast was reaching
out to dominate the State-have
smashed until what remains Of it
is merely pale ghost.
Pendergast is on probation, after
serving term in the penitentiary.
He was convicted of having
falsified his income tax. One of
the terms of his probation is that
he shall not take any part in poll
| tics.
The probationary period was for
five years after the release, and
will not be up for some time. In
the meantime, Pendergast, now
around rs years of age, is keeping
aloof from his old political head
quarters and attending to his cement
business. What's left of the organ
ization is headed by his nephew,
James M. Pendergast, a likable man

out Of the mouths Of his own fol-
lowers. AS I have said, I did not
intend debating the tragic results
of Mr.. Roosevelt's total failure of
leadership. But the facts are even
more clearly etched as a result of
his statement OF yesterday.
ut Is the fact that the chief OF
staff Of the United States testified
that In 1910 our Army was only as
per cent ready
ut is the fact that Gen. Arnold,
on January 4 OF this year, stated
that December 7, 194l, found the
Army Air Force equipped with plans
but not planes
ut is the fact that four months
after Pearl Harbor Mr.. Roosevelt's s
current running mate admitted on
the floor Of the United States Sen
ate the responsibility for the shock
ing state OF our defense program
was right in the White House.
Record Called DreadfulIy Bad.
1T is the fact that both Senator
Truman and Senator Barkley have
publicly admitted that our Nation
was not prepared for the attack
on Pearl Harbor.
THE list is endless. The record
Is dreadfully bad. 1t cannot be con-
cealed by epithets or by hiding be-
hind the symbol of the White House.
"It is equally amazing that Mr..
Roosevelt should find it necessary
to get his subordinates and close
associate, Mr.. Berle, the Assistant
Secretary of State, to write him a
letter accusing me of 'rnisquoting,
dishonesty and of having ripped
sentence from it's context. Mr..
Roosevelt also released this from
the White House.
"Once again, the facts are very
simple. Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Berle again admit my statement
that Mr.. Berle said in memo
randum: over a period OF years the
Government will gradually come to
own most Of the productive plants

Group Organized 10
Support Roosevelt

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-Bart-
ley c. Crum, San Francisco attorney
and once head of Wendell WILKES
California Committee, today an
nounced formation of Republicans
for Roosevelt Committee to support
reelection of the President.
Those of us taking this STEP"
Mr.. Crum said in statement re-
leased by the committee, do so with
full knowledge that while we are
deliberately maintaining our iden-
tity as Republicans, we are exposing
ourselves to every type of opposi-
ton and retaliation from the leaders
of the party machine. None of us
found 1t easy to make this decision,
but all of us can make no other
choice"
Our hope that the Republican
party would provide leadership In
the field of foreign affairs" said the
text of a statement on principles
issued on behalf of the committees
Western headquarters here, was
shattered by the platform in which
the isolationist and nationalist in
fluence succeeded in introducing ex-
tremely broad escape clauses which
allow the party to evade fortnight
commitment to aid effectively in the
maintenance of world peace.
President Roosevelt is expert
enced in the complex international
problems that we now face. He has
shown himself by temperament and
on the record to be devoted to the
cause of democracy. The demon
strated foresight of his administra-
ton, which has brought us success
fully through the terrible dangers of
the last four years, is essential in
building lasting peace, not an I'M
easy armistice to set the stage for a
catastrophe World War III"
Mr.. Crum said that the Repub-
licans-for- Roosevelt Committee was
in formation prior to Mr.. WILKES
death.
1--WE who were and are devoted to
Wendell Willkie and the principles
for which he Stood" Mr.. Crum said,
refuse to capitalize either on his
name or OBVIOUSLY to imply what
position he would have taken in this
election. 1t should be well-remem-
bered fact that Wendell Willkie

this section of the country Robert
S. Hannegan, chairman of the DEM
ocratic National Committee, speak

the issue of the Presidents health is
due to whispering campaign. 1t
is not a whispering campaign out
here. 1t is discussed very much in
the open. 1t is a question which is
most frequently asked as the cam
paign draws to a close.
In his own home State and in
Kansas. just across the way, Senator
Truman is known as kindly, decent
and honest man. He represented
Missouri in the Senate without any
particular distinction until he be-
came chairman of the Senate War
Investigating Committee. The valu-
able services rendered by this COM
mittee catapulted the Missouri
Senator onto the front pages of
the Nations newspapers.
So far as Missouri is concerned
Democrats and Republicans here
agree, Senator Truman has not
added any strength to the Roosevelt
ticket. Whether he has detracted
from 1t depends upon how this issue
Of Senator Truman himself works
out in the minds of the voters.
When he was last elected to the
Senate Mr.. Truman won with lead

against Senator Truman as a po-
tential President as every Vice
President becomes when he is
