Friendliness, Loyalty of Truman
Presidents Most Admired Traits
The Truman is Just Harry to His Countless Friends;
BY IRA MCCARTHY
OF the Kansas City Star
written for NEA ServiCe)

Harry S. Truman returned to
his home town of independence,
Mo, after his election as vice
president of The United States
and found - and IL may be re-
ported. found with pleasure -
that most of the townfolk still
call him, Harry" II 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 Har-
nv S. Truman is, or ever was, the
backslapping type. On the con-
trary, he probably is a little
more reserved than most persons
from the middle west. Perhaps it
is due 10 the flavor of the old
South that still fingers in Mis-
souri,.
There is in the man. however,
the essential friendlinesS that is
q part of middle-western lie.
When he stops a 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 il TO win friends.
He does so because he is IN
terested and because such visit
ing is a part Of childhood train
ing.
Some of this friendliness has
been exhibited in another way.
The door to his office has al
ways been open. Even in the
midst of his campaign for the
vice presidency, the door OF his
office in the United States court
house at Kansas City stood open.
Persons in the outer office could

AS each visitor left. Truman es-
corted him TO the door and led
his next visitor to seat.
NEEDS NO BODYGUARD
Throughout his campaign trav-
els he made himself as easily &C
cessable at every stopping place.
Unlike some who place hench-
men at an inner door TO weed
out those who would see the
great man, Truman served as his
own greeter while his travelling
companions retired to the inner
room for rest.
In his visits home, as Sem
ator. he often committed be-
tween his independence home
and his Kansas City office on a
bus. 1T gives me little> extra
time TO read the paper he once
explained.
A walk across the downtown

that, however, is a vast fund of
information ( ca e d through
years of reading and study. His
study of economics and politics
has been no less profound.
Never, no. 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 concern
ed with the heavy and learned
tones that college students of
these days call source material
and reference books.
The incautious or hasty COM
mentator misses the boat on this
side of President Truman life
because Truman translates his
learning into Missouri English.
But it is there.

with a turn Of phrase or an
earthly illustration.
TRUMAN is LOYAL
Shortly after Truman's name
and picture began TO appear
throughout the nation in connec-
ton with his senate committee
Investigations of war industries
he sat in his Kansas City office
with a reporter from the Kansas
City Star. The Star long had
viewed Truman hookup with
the Pendergast machine with
misgivings but that day there
had appeared an editorial prais-
ing Truman work as an in
vestigator.
Even The Star likes me-"
Truman said Il know how to
act, what to do, if | have fight
on my hands. Now / feel like
I'm walking a ridgepole.'
Loyalty is another marked
characteristic Of Truman. His
comment on the breakup Of the
Pendergast machine through in
dictments and prison sentences
for many OF the small and great
Of the organization, has become
classic. at least in Missouri
politics. He said:
I'm sorry it happened but
I'm not going to desert ship
that is going down.
Tom Pendergast, head OF the
political machine that support
ed Truman. died a few days aft
or Truman was lnaugurated.
Truman riskcd censure by flying
to Kansas City for the funeral
in 2-engine army transport
plane. II was a final act of 10y
atty.
A close personal friend Of
Truman is Fred Canfil, an old
army man. His friends describe
Canfil as diamond in the
rough. He is brusque, bull
voiced, bull-necked and has alb
solutely no patience with legal
red tape. AS Jackson County
building superintendent, he skat-
cd on thin ice many a time and
incurred the wrath OF many good
citizens. Often il was embarras-
sing to Truman. Yet. when the
chance came, Truman, as SEN
ator, placed his friend in the Of
flee of United States Marshal for
the western district Of Missouri
BY his very nature, Truman
also attracts loyalty. Republican
