in 1918 when they wheeled their French 75s into action in the vosges Mountains this week the most moment ous in history for Battery D, 129th Field Artillery 35th Division This week Battery D will march at the head of the inaugural parade guard of honor to the little captain who commanded it in World War |
 Just before that parade there will be reunion breakfast on Missouri ham attended by Capt. Harry Truman There has been other reunions of Battery D. and Captain Truman is hoping that this one won't be anything like the one back in 1921.
 That was just three years after the end of the war and some members of Battery were still unmar red still in the process of getting readusted. That reunion. staged in the Kansas City Eks Club, was carefully planned from an elaborate dinner to speech es skits and song. The cocktails were served and wartime stories retold Dinner postponed while the drinks went round again-and then again-and some more
 Finally someone picked up plate, sailed it across the room Then Dizzy Battery D" went on ram page.
 Some two hours and 400 plates later, the reunion ended Next day the Elks Club totaed the damages and presented bill for $158 to the president of the Battery D Association.
 That was the biggest bill for chinaware Harry Truman ever had to pay.
 Note-Three weeks ago in Kansas City, Truman, who had not been one of the active plate sailors chided his comrades in- arms: "In be glad to see you all in Washington but I don't look forward to buying another S158 worth of broken dishes"
 The second tale related by Pearson says when Harry Truman very green and nervous artillery captain going into action for the first time ne ran across Judge Bennett Clark, former Sentaor from Missouri and son of the famed Speaker Champ Clark Clark and Truman had trained together Ill the Missouri National Guard, and went to France together about the same time, Clark WlVi tne l"iiN of lieutenant colonel in the 9th Missouri Infantry.
 Trllmans horse-drawn artillery had Just arrived at French railroad station behind the Vosges rohC Ill "Ao and 8" boxcars and in the process of un- loading when suddenly, It. Col. Clark turned to Truman Pointing dramatically to dead horse Ylhg near the railrod station, he commanded:
 Captain you better get your men and guns out of here in hurry. The Germans are shelilng thlS place and you ought to unload and get under cover as quick as you can"
 Taking Clark at his word the nervous future President of the United States ordered his battery to detrain in hurry, pitching in himself to heip After Battery had sweated franticaly to get out c the "zone of fire" Clark walked to Truman With with grin.
 "Thst's fine job, Truman" he said But the jokes on you That horse wasn't killed by the Ger mans. He was shot by veterinarian"
 Truman didn't think the joke funny then. Since then he has tackled other new jobs, and has pitched in, green and nervous, to get them done. Later, when he became President of the United States and Bennett Clark defeated for the Senate he appointed the ex-eutenant colonel who played the joke him to a coveted seat on the U. s. Court of Appeals.

more, as head of ASCAP he is something of an authority on the sale of records.
 Fred Alhert's reaction was inn mediate. He volunteered to ob- tain a waiver of all royalty rights from the authors of Harry Tru- mans favorites, and also offered to pay good share of the cost 5f making the records. The only reason he didn't offer to pay all the cost was because he feared the sale would run into so many mil lions it would bankrupt ASCAP.
 Anyway, there is an idea-an idea by which one President can help cure the afflication which struck another President The rec ords could be dedicated: "To A Crippled President Who Helped A Crippled Nation-From Harry Tru- man."

AN IDEA FOR TRUMAN

Today this column recalls these facts because as Franklin Roose- velts birth again approaches, and as the span Of years since his death increases, it is only natural that the money-raising effort which he inspired should somewhat diminish. Therefore here is an idea which may help revitalize it-an idea by which one President can help the work started by another.
 Harry Truman not only can walk, but he can play the piano. And despite the advice of his daughter to stick to his few favorite tunes, @ lot of people think he plays rather well They enjoy hearing him.
 Only a few Of the American peo- pie, however, have had the pleas ure of hearing him. He has play ed at the dinners of his Okla homa oil heiress friend, Mrs. Perle Mesta He has played at the Press Club, and in the privacy of the White House.
 And while it might not be dig nifiad for the President of the United States to play before a large audience, there could be nothing wrong with Harry Truman's mak- ing two or three records for the American people for the benefit of Rocsevelt's infantile paralysis fund.
 For instance, if the President should make a phonograph record of his old favorites, Missouri Waltz" and Anchors Aweigh," I predict they would sell in the mill lions
 Furthermore if daughter Margaret sang to her fathers accompani- ment, more millions would accumu- late for the infaptile paralysis fund

Cord OF Thinks

We want to try in this way to
express our appreciation for
everything that was done for
Stewart and for us during his
long illness and his death. For
every prayer, the telephone calls,
cards, and personal visits and then
at the last the floral offerings and
your help. We want to say thank
you to all the nurses and doctors
at the hospital and especially DR..
Herring who did all he could un-
I'll the very last. We have the
comfort of knowing that every
thing that could be done was
done and that now his suffering
is over, although that does not
make it any easier to give him
up.
AS Stewart would always say,
May Gods richest blessings be
with you all"

KEY ISSUES IN STOCKS
 IN ADVANCE

NEW YORK, June 15-lR-De- mand for stocks revived today and the market took it's biggest step ahead in more than a month.
 Key issues advanced a few cents to around $2 share.
 For the past month the market has been under strong selling pres sure which reached a climax Mon- day when the general price level cracked to Az s-year low. Yester- day the market tried to get ahead but there was no life to the de- mand.
 Stocks of steel, motor, non- ferrous metal, railway and oil companies were well in front AL most every group, though, shared in the move.
 Wall Street quarters saw little in the news to account for the rally. Some brokers, however, suggested that the failure of the market to go still lower on Monday might be considered an encouraging develop ment.
 On the other hand, rallies usually develop even when the market is in a long slide downward.

 Prime George

PRINCE GEORGE, B.C., June Is -R An over, ,urdened medical staff worked today against an un- identified epidemic which is re- ported to have affected more than a thousand persons in this area during the last three weeks.
 Physicians have been unable to determine the cause, but believed if might be caused by a virus. One physician, Dr. L. Maxwell, said it might be a type of influenza. He said the number of cases appeared to be declining but their severity was increasing.
 pr. John Macarthur, senior phy- sician here, said the illness is not serious, but that it might lead to serious complications.
 The Prince George Hospital ap- realed for additional nurses to re- inforce it's overworked nursing staff of eight.
 Prince George, 800 miles north of Vancouver in the Cariboo dis trict of British Columbia, has a population of 2,O27. The disease is reported to have spread to com munities in the interior.
