OF the few places the Jsps did not

SEEMS TO Me THAT ERIC
JOHNSTON used TO have some de-
cided ideas about four terms in
the White House. Not long ago
Johnston was elected to "a I'M
precedented fourth term as presi-
dent OF the United States Cham
Der OF Commerce"
The number OF callers at the
White House has become so large
in this new administration that
some newspapers are threatening
10 ask for more news print in order
10 find room for the space-taking
list.
Also il is reported that all Wash

Missouri have had TO put on extra
sleepers to accommodate those who

INDICATIONS ARE THAT MRS. !
TRUMAN will not assume a brisk
public manner. Heard a report OF
the longest speech the Presidents
wife ever made. II was given at
a dinner in honor OF herself and
her husband by the PEG OF which
Mrs. Truman Is a member. The
PEG is an educational society. Its
membership is entirely feminine.
What PEG stands for. the ladies
won't say. Some OF the men have
remarked that it's probably Phone
Each other. Anyhow, the hus-
band OF PEG is cyalled a BILL"

a toast ITO Bess Truman and her

Mrs. Truman blushed and smiled.
Said hesitatingly: Except for that
reception the home folks in Inde- !
pendence gave Harry and me at
Christmas, this Is the incest party |
l ever attended" And sat down.
