GLIDING THE LILY
RUMOR EXPLAINED

Reliable White House sources
have an interesting addition to Ad-
miral Ross T. McIntires denial of
rumors that FDR suffered several
cerebral attacks before the one
that resulted in his death April
II at Warm Springs.
One of the rumors is that the
late president had such stroke
att Hyde Park on the trip he made
there in December.
A White House source says this
rumor got started because:
When Mr.. Roosevelt left Hyde
Park to return to Washington, a
stretcher case was put aboard his
train as it waited at night at High
land N. Y, across the Hudson
from Hyde Park.
But the patient was not the pres
ident. It was Henry Hooker, a
Hyde Park neighbor and friend CT
the family. He had suffered a
heart attack and was taken to the
White House in Washington at
Mrs. Roosevelt's suggestion to re-
cuperate.

President Will Confer With

WASHINGTON, III y 81. -P)-
Look for some action by Presi-
dent Truman to shake down the
number of federal employees when
the war with Japan gets well
along.
Senator Byrd D.-Va), who re-
Gently suggested that the end OF
the German war made it possible
to dispense with 100000 federal
workers. Immediately, has been
asked by Mr.. Truman to talk with
him about the matter when the
President returns from Potsdam.
Byrd contends the more than
5000, 600 federal employees ought to
be reduced to 100000 when the
war ends, but he's not urging any
such drastic cutback while the
fighting continues. The 5000, 900
figure includes many workers in
navy yards and other government
owned war production plants.

HARRY SHIPPE TRUMAN

Everywhere today we hear the familiar ques-
tons. Is Harry Truman big enough to be Presi-
dent? Will he follow the liberal course of his pred
ecessor? Was he really ever a member Of the
Khan? Indeed Harry Truman has become national
and international question mark. -
In view of the tremendous responsibilities
which the tragic passing of President Roosevelt
has left upon the shoulders of our new leader, it
is natural that these questions should arise in the
minds of an anxious people. 1t is the nature of
things however that almost no one can now answer
them with finality.
The Klan charges hurled in the heat of the 1914
campaign by the Hearst press have been repudiated
by Truman himself and by those who know him
best Radio commentator George Hamilton Combs
who was prosecuting attorney in Kansas City when
Truman turned to politics had this to say in the
campaign:
when the unlovely Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan were riding in their ill-ftting and somewhat
obscene night-shirts | stood on public platform
with Harry Truman while we were both deluged,
not only with Ku Klux Khan abuse, but with Ku
KluX Khan eggs.
HE was as bitterly fought by the Khan as any
man in public life, because he was an uncom-
promising enemy of intolerance. -. have known
some kind-hearted people in my life but never
gentler guy than Truman. When the Klan eggs
used to CONCEAL on our faces, we'd wipe them off
and laugh little and 60 on some place else to give
the Khan hell again.
Democratic Chairman Robert flanagan point
ed out to newsmen during the campaign that Tru-
man had seen many fierce political battles in
Missouri and said: "At no time during Senator
Truman's political career has this question ever
been raised And no one will believe it now"
Many times in our history great emergencies
have produced great men. We believe that on the
basis of his record as Judge and Senator, Harry
Truman is qualified for national leadership We
cannot now pass final judgment on his ability to
rise and meet the challenges of this emergency
We cannot however, withhold our support or sue
cumb to defeatism.
We know that our late President had set this
nation on clear course and we can take comfort
in the fact that our new President, in his first Of
fetal statement has pledged himself to carry for
ward the principles of his predecessor President
Roosevelt was gifted with the ability to choose adj
ministrators and aides capable of rendering great
service. Truman was the choice of the late Presl-
dent as well as that of the American people. Now
the die is cast and we must 60 forward in the words
of President Roosevelt, fearing nothing save fear
itself.
