 By his very nature, Truman also attracts loyalty. Republican members of the senate investiga- ting committee that quickly be- came known just as '"The Tru- man Committee" were wary at first, believing that it might be a whitewash scheme for the admin istration, presided over by the Roosevelt loyalist, Truman.

 Truman has an aStute knowl- edge of military affairs and poli- OACoA oNAC1lSC CAldG HldLAJ DCloOllo write off as native intelligence. There is a reason.
 AS a basis of his military knowledge, Truman has his own army training and service in World War I as captain in the 129th field artillery. Far beyond that, however, is vast fund of information gleaned through years of reading and study. His study of economics and politics has been no less pro- found.
 Never, not even in his youth, did Truman indulge in the read ing of light fiction. His reading and study consistently and with out variation has been concerned with the heavy and learned tonnes that college students of these days call source material and refer ence books.
 The incautious or nasty com- mentator misses the boat on this side of Prenident Trumans life because Truman translates his learning into Missouri English. But it is there.

 Speaking of coverage of the po- litical and economic scene in Eu- rope after the war, Frey said:
 Much depends on how well our reporters do their jobs. This coun- try'S foreign policy, that of any country for that matter, depends for it's success on how well it is understood and how thoroughly it is accepted by its people.
 "Our foreign correspondents will after the war carry even greater responsibilities than they have dur ing the war. Americans at home, asked to support this or that phase of our foreign policy, will be de- pending in very large measure upon the foreign correspondent to supply them with .the facts and information upon which to base their judgments"

 Washington. April 20.-(UP)-It took Mrs. Mary T. Norton of Jer- sey City, who looks like she might be your own mother and who ob- viously isn't scared of anybody, to tell of the mere men of the house rules committee
 She also made 'em like it. Or at least they dared not say they didn't.

 "Wno?" demanded bushy haired Gene Cox of Georgia.
 You can't be serious" exclaimed Mrs. Norton. The Negro, of course"
 "Where?" Cox asked.
 Everywhere" snapped Mrs. Nor ton.
 Soon Cox and Mrs. Norton were shouting. The poor stenographer threw up his hands. Chairman Adolph Sabath banged his gavel.
 Wait a minute. MT Chairman, ," Cox yelled.
 Wait minute, yourself, MT. Cox" said Mrs. Norton. T told you exactly what thought was fair and don't intend to answer questions you've already asked me five times. Aside from your pre- judices on some questions, I am very fond of you"
 Thank you, Ma'am,' Rep. Cox said. But this bill is against our Jim Crow laws"
 '"The sooner you get rid of them, the better the south will be off," she retorted.
 Rep. Charles A. Halleck of h. diana took up the questioning with the remark that he was not trying to embarrasS her.

 Are you speaking of the com mittee collectively" asked Rep. Clarence J. Brown of Ohio.
 Individually some of you are fine" Mrs. Norton conceded. And l am not the smartest person in the world, but I am one of the most sincere. Collectively, I think you fall far short of that"
 The gentlemen of the committee gulped. Rep. William M. Colmer of Mississippi, who must have realized this was no time to tangle with Mrs. Norton, couldn't resist it.
 T don't think your law will work" he said.
 If it won't we'd better stay home from San Francisco" she retorted.
 Tn my section we fell kindly to- ward the Negro" Colmer added.
 What have you done for him in over 200 years?" Mrs Norton cried.
 Fed him when he was hungry and clothed him when he was naked" Colmer said.
 "Hmph," said Mrs. Norton. You people are trying to embarrass me"
 T quit" said Colmer. He did, too.

phrase or an earthly illustration. TRUMAN IS LOYAL
 Shortly after Truman,s name and picture began to appear throughout the nation in connection with his senate committee Investigations of war industries he sat in his Kansas City office with reporter from the Kansas City Star. The Star long had viewed Truman's hookup with the Pendergast machine with misgivings but that day there had appeared an editorial praising Truman's work as an investigator.
 Even The Star likes me-" Tru- man said. T know how to act, what to do, if I have fight on my hands. Now I feel like I'm walking ridgepole."
 Loyalty is another marked char acteristic of Truman. His comment on the breakup of the Pendergast machine through indictments and

 HARRY s. TRUMAN returned to H his home town of Independence, Mo, after his election as vice-pres- ident of The United States and found-and it may be reported, found with pleasure-that most of the townfolk still call him, Harry" It will be the same the next time he returns home, unless, of course, he comes back for some official function.
 This does not imply that Harry s. Truman is, or ever was, the blackslapping type. On the con- trary, he probably is little more reserved than most persons from the middle west. Perhaps it is due to the flavor of the old South that still fingers in Missouri.
 There is in the man, however, the essential friendliness that is part of middle western life. When he stops reception line to ask a man about his wife and children-and the chances are that Truman knows them by name or he wouldn't ask he is not doing it to win friends. He does so because he is interested and because such visiting is part of childhood training.
 Some of this friendliness has been exhibited in another way. The door to his office has always been open. Even in the midst of his campaign for the vice-presidency the door of his office in the United States courthouse at Kansas City stood open. Persons in the outer office could have listened to the conversa- tions but none took advantage. AS each visitor left, Truman escorted him to the door and led his next visitor to a seat.
 NEEDS NO BODYGUARD
 Throughout his campaign trav- els he made himself as easily ac- cessable at every stopping place. Unlike some who place henchmen at an inner door to weed out those who would see the great man, Truman served as his own greeter while his travelling companions re- tired to the inner room for rest.
 In his visits home, as a Sena, /, he often commuted between his h. dependence home and his Kansas City office on bus. Tt gives me a little extra time to read the pa per- he once explained.
 A walk across the down town sec tion of Kansas City to hotel con- ference has been his standard prac- tice. This was just as true after he was chosen vice-president as it was in the days when he was county judge. There was never a thought of a bodyguard. Sometimes a friend would accompany him, if they both happened to be going in the same direction. More often than not Tru- man struck out alone, nodding or waving to acknowledge greetings from acquaintances along the way.
 Already this trait has the new President "in bad" with the secret service. It will be hard for the Pres ident to get used to Whistling up a bodyguard when he wants to go some place.
 As a senator, Truman drove his office staff hard He wanted each letter to be answered the same day it was received. If the staff had to remain late to get it done, they simply stayed late.
 Republicans and Democrats alike received the senator's attention in line with Truman's idea that once elected senator he was working for everyone in the state.
 President Truman's humor doesn't run to funny stories. His matter-of- fact delivery seems to take the edge off. He scores best with a turn of
