that Harry Truman got great kick out of forgetting he was President.
 Note-Finally, after several phone calls from Washington, War Mobilizer Snyder took special plane back to the humdrum life of strikes imitation and reconversion.
 Cigar-chewlng George DreschcF, the Secret serv- ice chief, in for some criticism for letting the President take off from Washington Airport in misty rain when commercial planes were grounded; also for letting the Truman party drive along wind ing rain-slck Virginia roads at SO miles an hour Also at Paducah Ky, the "Scared Cow" came down on landing strip with just few inches to spare. :. Some don't blame Drescher entirely, on the ground that he has become close pal of Truman's and is overruled by him. Truman demands that all those around him be chummy
 Patient Charlie Ross alleged press relations chief, got pushed all over the place by aggressive friends around Truman" Georgie Allen, John Snyder and Drescher all handed out about the trip Ross chiefly gave the names of minor local personalities who chewed the fat with Truman At one time newsmen seriously proposed asking for charlie Rosss resignation. Both John Snyder and George Allen tried to pooh-pooh the importance of Truans state- ment on our keeping the "know-how" on the atomic bomb They said the story wasn't news-worthy Truman dropped the story to newsmen at one end Of the Widow MorriSs porch at Reelfoot Lake, Tenn. After watching correspondents scurry off into the night looking for telephones, he remarked: Some times forget that I'm President"
 All sorts of people chinned with Truman. Once the doce President of the United States stood for ten minutes while local character monopolized his time wanting to know how he should go about getting a birth certificate County Tax Assessor Obey Coker, the county strong man." was much in evi- dence, together with Roy Harper, who has always managed Trumans Senatorial campaigns in Southeast Missouri On the last leg of his trip at Gilbert vile, Ky, Truman wound up his speech with the impromptu remark: Lets all cut the foolshness go home and get to work" He was not of course, re- ferrng to himself.
 UNRRA officials in London are worried lest Con- gress learn of the extent to which the goods they have been shipping for European relief are being sold for private profit by UNRA workers Several reports on corruption within UNRFA personnel in Europe have been held up in London for weeks and not yet sent to Washington.
 What has the British especially worried ts the voluminous report made by the D. S. Armys Grim ina Identification Divison-which has been read in London but not yet officially turned over to UNEA
 The situation became so bad that the U. s. Army sent troops into French homes around the huge UNRRA center in Granville to seize huge stores or fruits fresh vegetables and other foods aocated to feed UNRRA workers themselves but sold off before reaching UNRRA tables. Once last summer, a con- voy of 120 trucks left Cherbourg for Granville-a four-hour trip. Because 1t was short of driverss UNRRA borrowed l20 French drivers for this trip. Nnety-eight trucks of the original 120 arrived in Granville No one has ever demanded to know where the other 9 are.
 Note Unfortunate fact is that there Is always a lot of pifering and scandal connected with war; time relief. Tn the last war; even Herbert Hoover's Relief Administration and the Red Cross were vic- tins of 1t.
