Capehart, who is holding his
first public office, said he has
found his job as a United States
Senator" interesting, but not en-
joyable."
Speaking as a businessman, he
told a reporter that in 1927 he
quit a job as general sales mana
ger and Started out on his own
with $500, a wife and two children
to establish an electric photograph
company. Asked how much his
plants are valued at now, he said:
"Well, we handle millions of dol
lars worth of business every year.
And now let me tell you why
1 believe the United States is the
most prosperous nation in the
world. That reason is the system
which we have that allows the son
Of a farm hand to become a farm
owner, that allows a poor boy to
become a home owner. In other
courages hard work and initiative,
words it is the system that en-
courages hard work and initiative,
and this is what leads to prosper
ity.'
With the Truman doctrine he
said:
Il find little fault except that it
should have been u policy 20
years ago. The doctrine nov is
trying to tear down and correct
the situation that the New Deal
created.
81 like President Truman very
much. I've known him personally
for a long time, and I think he's
a good American.
1 was. pleased with Truman for
the way he handled John Lewis
during the coal strike and the way
he acted during the railroad
strike. But I was displeased for
his veto of the tax and labor bills.
"War with Russia? No, 1 don't
think We'll get into that, at least
not for a long time. The situation
is admittedly bad between the
U. S. ana Russia, and it can only
improve by u statesmen saying
what we mean and meaning what
we say-and that applies to Rus
slams too.
"Truman's Independence Day
speech yesterday was good, but l
didn't like the way he failed to
call the Russians by name. He i'm
piled that their lack Of coopera-
ton is endangering peace, but ne
should have labeled them for what
they are"
OF the Taft-Hartley labor bill,
he said:
There is nothing in it that could
be Objectionable to any thinking
man. A few rough spots, yes, but
they'll be ironed out.
"Domestically, I don't think u
country will have a recession.
Whether Democrats or Republi-
cans are in power, they dare not
allow one
Asked how does one go about
preventing a recession, he said:
LETS change the statement
then to say they must do all in
their power to prevent one"
He cited democracy and dicta-
torship as the two clashing ideolo-
gies hat must be r%econclled it the
world is 20 have peace.
The Middlewesterner, whose
grandparents migrated from a
section near Edenton and Eliza
beth City, North Carolina, and
South Carolina and Virginia, said:
NATURALLY 1 can see nothing but
a Republican victory for 1913, but
I'd rather not say who I'd like to
see in the White House. I will say

Flynn autobiography
Tells Inside Story Of
Truman Nomination
. BY The Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The lin
side" story of how President Roose-
velt picked Harry S. Truman for the
1914 vice presidential nomination is
told in the autobiography of Edward
]. Flynn, Democratic national COM
mitteeman from New York and close
associate OF Mr.. Roosevelt.
The book, entitled YOU'RE the
Boss" is to be published Friday by
the Viking Press.
Mr.. Flynn, boss" OF the Bronx
Democratic machine for IS years,
says the decision on Mr.. Truman's
nomination was made well in ad-
vance of the nominating convention
while Mr.. Flynn was at the White
House with President Roosevelt. The
President gave him the job OF urging
Mr.. Truman on other big city lead
ers, Mr.. Flynn says, with the ad-
monition that President Roosevelt's s
own preference for Mr.. Truman was
not to be disclosed.
Mr.. Flynn declares in the book
that he sold" Mr.. Truman to the
other leaders at the convention, but
that at later conference while he
was absent, they decided on James
F. Byrnes instead.
Mr.. Flynn related that he argued
desperately and finally had to get
the President on the telephone and
have him tell the other leaders that
Mr.. Fqynn's action had been author
lied by him.
