CHICAGO R-Mrs. Harry s.
Truman undoubtedly is the hap
piest of all women who played
leading roles in the tense political
drama here.
Relaxed and smiling, she &C.
companied President Truman in a
"hail and farewell appearance
before Friday nights session Of
the 1852 Democratic National Con.
vention.
She has known the pride Of q
wife whose husband has been nom
mated in such conventions and
elected, first to the vice presi.
dency, then to the highest office
In the land.
She didn't want her husband tc
carry on any longer the heavy
burdens Of the presidency.
But she understands veil the
fear, the apprehension Of women
folk In the families Of men who
are aspiring to the top places %
the Democratic ticket.
Custom has 1t that candidates
should not be in the convention
han during the voting. But their
womenfolk can be there, not only
as spectators. but as reminders
to delegates--and they must be
smiling, confident-looking.
So tired she could hardly stand,

Is Miami Cooler?

Give Miami credit. For once,
they can brag that their tempera-
ture was two degrees cooler than
Key West.
While the rest Of the nation
sweltered, the highest tempera-
ture recorded In Miami yesterday
was 81: In Key West, 80. Low for
both towns during the twenty-four
hour period was II.
Key Westers shouldn't be too
downcast about the situation, how
ever.
While official temperature re-.
cordings are usually accurate, they
don't represent the true heat that
the man on the street feels. Com
