AT Yesterdays Conference
Of Hurried. "HarrY'd" Press
BY Dorothy Rsynser
President Harry Truman ought
to get an Oscar wien the time
comes for the awards handed out
for the best acting of the year.
His dramatic entrance to the press
conference held yesterday in the
BOO on the Naval Station was
nothing short of spectacular and
crowned with the sort of flashing
smile AL Jolson used to give TO his
audiences, Even a traditional JOl-
son gesture was part of the Presi-
dents action. As he strobe into the
crowded room, he glanced at the
big, bright televisi0n and movie
lamps, threw out bis hands in an
expansive way and beamed with
more brillance than any tooth
past rxs've ever seen.
Like D movie set. toe was the
immediate reaction as photogra-
pliers circled madly to get differ
ent angles of Mr.. Truman attired
in natty blue suit of . fabric
which looked like silk pongee or
shantung. His tie with light and
dark blue stripes carried note
of cream, with the accent repeat
ed in the handkerchief tucked
neatly in his coat pocket.
The newsreel cameras we're
mounted on a pool table, which
had been discreetly disguised with
heavy cloth.
The President obligingly posed
with all the aplomb and none of
the temperament OF matinee
idol, for at least five minutes.
Tony Martin, not the Hollywood
singer. but Of the Havana Revista
Bohemia, got into the act, and did
not get out OF il, even after the
other photographers had coInplet-

his place at the microphone and

Americas campaign to get past
Stain TO talk truth and friend
ship to his people is getting bigger
all the time.
And It's no hopeless gesture, in
the opinion of many Russian eX-
perts, who say the Soviet Union
is not tie solidly united state the
Communists picture.
None of the experts is expect
ing revolution in Russia soon, but
they say that if America and her
Western allies convince the So
Wet people they are their friends,
many of those people Someday, in
peace or war, will side with the
West against their Bolshevik mas
terS.
Strong Message Voices.
The strongest, Warmest message
to the Russian people came early
in July from the United States
Congress and the President. A
resolution and message, sent to
N. M. Shvernik, president OF the
Soviet Presidium, expressed the
admiration of Americans for the
Soviet people and the assurance
that America wants only peace.
The Voice of America broadcast
it to Soviet listeners twice ar
hour. day and night, for three
days.
In the past three months, the
Voice has added seven new Soviet
Languages to its program. 1t uSec
to broadcast only in Russian, Lith-
uanian and Ukrainian. Now ii
speaks also in Georgian. Estonian
Latvian, Armenian, Azerbaijani
Tatar and Turkestani.
The Voice wanted the UzbeE
language, but the State Depart
ment could find only one man
who could speak Uzbek and was
otherwise qualified. Each Ian
guage program needs three OF
four persons, so the department
settled for Turkestani-Which car
be understood by many Uzbeks.
Russians Exploit UZbeks.
The reason the Voice wants tc
talk to the Uzbeks is that the
Soviet government makes tai
claims about Usbekistan'S being
model Soviet republic. This gov
eminent has reason to believe the
Uzbeks are unhappy about many
things, such as:
