running mate for MIR. Roosevelt
and the southern Democrats re-
fused TO sponsor a new term for
Henry Wallace.
About six weeks before the con-
vention Bob Hannegan, Demo
cratic national committee chair
man, had practically decided that
the best compromise would be the
senator from Missouri.
At the convention most of the
delegates cried for Wallace and
Hannegan had the vice presiden-
tial roll call postponed a day until
he could get the delegates into
line. This he did and Mr.. Truman
was chosen.
GROOMED BY ROOSEVELT
1t is said in Washington that
Mr. Roosevelt had an intimation
of his imminent death right after
his return from Yalta and that
from then on he groomed Mr..
Truman for the biggest job on
earth.
1t was entirely unprecedented
when a secret service guard was
suddenly assigned to the vice
president, five weeks before Mr..
Roosevelt's, death.
Mr.. Truman really didn't want
to become vice president and,
even after he did, he had no
burning desire to be president.
He entered politics in a curious
manner.
After rehabilitation from the
army of World War l he had
married his childhood sweetheart,
Miss Bess Wallace. He and a
sergeant in his World War l COM
pany. Edward Jacobson. had
formed a partnership in the mems
wear business in Kansas City. In
1922 they failed and Mr.. Truman
needed job.
A nephew of Tom Pendergast,
boss of Missouri politics, told his
uncle that Mr.. Truman would be
good political timber because he
had shown real leadership in the
arnN.

LIKED HIS WORK

truman was Stlll virtually un.
known outside his home state
almost as unknown as when he
was born on a tiny Lamar mo
farm, May 8, 1884.
But he liked his work and took
active part in promoting legisla-
ton concerning transportation
and, as chairman of the interstate
commerce committee, held lengthy
hearings on railroad financing.
These studies became the basis
for formulating the laws now
governing railroads.
After his request for army duty
in this war had been turned down
by Gen. Marshall, Truman cast
about for some way in which to
help the war effort.
BECAME KNOWN
Remembering the appalling
wastes uncovered IN the last war,
he organized the Truman COM
mittee to investigate military con-
tracts. The public understood this
work and Truman's name became
known throughout the country.
He felt that he should stay
connected with this committee
and was reluctant to leave il
when he became vice president.
Senator Jim Mead of New York
was made chairman of the COM
mittee but Truman was still ready
to give advice at any time.
Then destiny took a hand. Mr..
Roosevelt died. Mr.. Truman went
TO the White House.

In 1884 Truman was elected
u. S. senator from Missouri and
took hisSeat in the Senate Jan. 3,
1888. He was. reelected in 1910
and said:
