The big pay increase in 1949

than three years the Trumans
lived in Blair House-from No

while the White House was being
remodelled.
Expenses were much less at the
temporary living quarters across
Pennsylvania avenue. Less domes-
tic help was required, and there
was a big savings on entertain

Mr.. Truman is q frugal man
with simple tastes and can be ex-

returns to private life.
There is no Federal pension for
ex-Presidents, and Congressional
officials say he isn't eligible for a
pension based on the 10 years he
was Senator. The pension plan
for former members of Congress
went in effect after he was in the
White House. and it had no
retroactive feature.

The Hall-Ryan scrap, with a

cabinet if the general wins the
presidency. opening the way for

Gov. Arm in the November cleo
ton appeared to be Charles

Mr.. Rooney rode a lead of more

Harry s. Truman seems likely to
be more comfortably fixed finan-

There is no information avail
able on how much Of his pay the
President has been able to salt
away, but some of his associates
believe it's enough to keep the
wolf from coming anywhere near
the Truman doorstep.
The President has been drawing
a 500, 000-a-year salary since
January, l949-plus an annual
$50. 900 tax-free allowance.
When he took Office on April IL,
1945, the presidential pay was
$4,000 a year-all of it taxable.

April of that year. Mr.. Truman
was paid at the rate of $4,000 a

taxable allowance.

AS a Senator from Missouri be-
fore he was elected Vice President,
Mr.. Truman's salary was $4,000
10 year. That was $4,000 less base

After becoming President, Mr.,
Truman let it be known that, as q
Senator, he had to hire his wife
