Amazing knowledge of History
Credited to Truman by HiIIndn

President Truman's amazing
knowledge Of history was a prin-
lcipal topic in a talk given yester-
day by William Hillman, author of
"Mr. President" at luncheon of
the Washington Advertising Club
at the Hotel Statler.
II think" said Mr.. Hillman, "he
lis the only individual who can
name every cabinet member of
every President and tell just what
each cabinet member did"
The author and radio COM
mentator told of the difficulty his
torians experienced in checking
for him a statement of the Duke
of Wellington which Mr.. Truman
had quoted.
The duke, in 1847 or 1848, had
said something about the passing
of Britain's imperial greatness

period of the Victorian empire un-

der Gladstone and Disraeli. Mr..
Truman had quoted it to Mr.. Hill
man in comparison to postwar OBJ
servations that the United States
had reached it's zenith of power
and influence and was on the way
down.
The historians finally located
the statement. It was in a pri-
vately printed volume of letters
which the duke had written late
in life. to the Lord Mayor OF
London.
Asked by one of the members
to support his constant reference
to Mr.. Truman as lone Of the
greatest Presidents in history
Mr.. Hillman said:
western civilization was SaveC
from collapse at the hands of one
of the most vigorous and ruthles:
imperialisms ever known by Pres.
ident Truman"

President Truman invaded
Harlem last week. He reStated
his OPPOSITION to racial Segrega-
ton and discrimination. He also
upbraided the COP candidates,
General Eisenhower, and former
Secretary of State James l..
Byrnes, now governor of South
Carolina, for their racial bigotry.
1t was an uproariouSly end of a
10000 mile whistle stop cam
paign over twenty states of the
west and south.
Coelored newSmen on the Ad-
lai Stevenson campaign train
were tossed around when the
special reached the first station
in the Deep South. 1t was known
beforehand what would be their
reception; but Gov. Stevenson
was not informed of it. Two
newsmen accepted Accommodations
at billiard University but the
other reporter quit the scene. A
Stevenson aide stated he had no
power against laws in states
where racia! segregation is legal.
1t appears that the plaque
presented to President Truman
in New York when he stormed
Harlem was a gift with many
strings attached to it and the
donors spent their money in
vain. They should have waited
to see which way the wind was
blowing or until the campaign
ended.
