NEWSMEN ACCLAIM
TRUMAN'S FARLEY
Continued from Page One)

Truman hushed the front-row
questioners, invited the downtrod-
den fellow far back to take the
floor.
At the end, there was a spon-
staneous burst Of hand-clarping. 1t
was gesture of goodwill and,
frankly, of actual relief in the
case of some particularly close to
Mr.. Truman and eager to see him
,acquit himself well.
The President announced that
he'll holl only one conference a
week, at least for a while, instead
of Franklin D. Roosevelt's two,
They'll DC held in the morning
one week, and in the afternoon the
next, and he'll select the day &C.
cording to how much he has TO
say.
He will receive no complaints
about this cut-down schedule if 1t
doesn't threaten to become fixed
practice. For the moment there
is little disposition among White
House reporters to object - while
Mr.: Truman is getting under way.
The President was dressed in
blue suit, blue tie and pocket
handkerchief. Except for some
ash trays and few pencils his
desk was clear. This was in con-
trast to the intriguing litter of
mementoes that had accumulated
on Mr.. Rcosevelt's desk. .t: r-
At the start, he read me1nor-
andum or two, including long
standing Presidential news confer
ence rules. "Off the record re-
marks must not be divulged.
Background material may be
published but not attributed to the
President No quotation remarks
around any of his words unless
specifically authorized.
Then, after half a dozen an
nouncements, Mr.. Truman braced
himself and announced he was
open for quastions-adding that if
he didn't always know the an,
swers he'd say SO and try to make
good at a later meeting. e..
There were 348 at the confer
snce. This contrasts with 249-the
record Roosevelt high-who turn
ed out for a joint Roosevelt
Churchill conference after Pearl
Harber.
Many Of them Jagged behind at
ter the conference to say, "Thank
you. Mr.. President" They gath
cred about the Presidential desk
for an i,cpromptu reception and
handshaking.
Only time could answer how
he'd do on the long haul. There
was no disagreement that Presi-
dent Truman had gotten himself
off to a good start.
