HOW TRUMAN PLAYED POKER
Continued from page seVer

His performance, style and
mannerisns at the poker table
aboard the AwgMstG gave US
invaluable clues to how Mr..
Truman would react later to
more serious problems.
He did not hesitate to take
calculated risks. He played a
fortnight, hard-hitting game
and seemed to bluff only out
of playful mischief or boredom
resulting from a long run of
mediocre cards. His game was
based more ON analysis of
the other players than strict
ly ON the cards themselves.
/ played with Mr.. Truman
a number of times while he was
President and always found him
a formidable opponent. He did
not seem to care nearly as much
about the size of the stakes as
he did for the mental gymnas-
tics of testing his luck and
judgment. He regarded the
poker table as an excellent place
to judge men.
AS far as ], know, no reporters
played poker with MIR. Truman
in the White House. They played
aboard the AMgMstG and the
yacht williamsburg. on his pri-
vate train. at the winter White
House in Key West, at a dinner
party in Washington's Statler
Hotel, at the home of one of his
old friends in independence, Mo-,
but not at the White House.

MAJOR General Harry Vaughan,
Mr.. Truman's highly controver-
sial military aide, was by far
the Presidents favorite poker
companion. Next was either the
late Charles G. Ross; Mr..
Humans scholarly, erudite and
easygoing press secretary, or
George E. Allen. the ample
wasted quipster and shrewd
judge of politics.
Vaughan, however, was in a
class alone. His poker-table
repartee was brilliant, biting.
riotously funny and singularly
lacking in the senseless profanity
that so frequently dominates the
sound effects of a stag card game.
Mr.. Truman introduced us to

games using wild cards. One of
his favorites was seven-card
high-low with the lowest of the
three hole or down cards wild.
The pots were divided by the
highest and lowest hands. A per-
feet hand was five aces and /or
seven, five, four, three and deuce
of mixed suits. It is possible in
this game to win both high and
low if the lucky player has the
right sort of wild cards.
In this game three cards are

or seventh card also Is dealt
down, and Of the three down
cards. the lowest and all like it
are wild. 1t is played like regu-
lar seven-card stud, except that
some players tend to go a little
mad after a few hands.
Ross was Ahead
Inns game came to be known
as 'tGOG"- short for Grand
Old Game" as it was christened
one dawn at Niagara Falls by
Ross aboard the Presidential
train. Ross had spent a profit

murmured. Its a grand old

President aboard the White
House train travelling from Kan
sas City to Washington on the
night of the 1916 by-elections
which swept the Democrats out
of Congressional control and
ushered in the Republican 80th
Congress.
We had arranged for cleo
tion returns to be put aboard
the train at frequent stops
during the night. When the
bundles of telegraphic messages
were brought to the poker table

Spencer Urges Law
To Fix Standards for
Sale Of Eggs Here

To protect Washington Gus
toners from inferior eggs the
District Commissioners today
asked Congress for legislation to
regulate sales in the city.
Commissioner Samuel Spen-
Ger, in a letter recommending
the legislation, transmitted a
proposed draft. He sent it to
Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee with a
request for action.
The bill would authorize the
Commissioners to establish regu-
lations, which would specify,
among other things, standards
for eggs offered for sale at retail
here.
A bill would authorize the city
heads to establish grade and size
standards similar to, but not
necessarily identical with, United
States standards. These stand
ards by the United States are for
quality of individual eggs and
weight classes for consumer
grades as established by the Sec
retary of Agriculture.
Although the Municipal Court
Of Appeals here had held that
the sale of eggs in the District
is governed by the Federal Food,
Drug and Cosmetic Act. Com
missioner Spencer said the pro-
posed legislation was considered
appropriate in view of the fact
that neighboring and nearby
States maryland, Pennsylvania
and Virginia), have similar laws

Open 55th Encampment
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Aug. 31.-Near-
~ 1000 veterans of the Spanish
American War opened their 55th
encampment in Public Auditori-
UNI last night with a memorial
service for dead comrades.
The United Spanish War Vet
erans, now numbering about A.
900, lost 1000 members by death
last year, National Commander
Dan S. Hewitt said.
During the month wal
against Spain in 1898, and in
cluding the Philippine insilr-
rection and the Chinese Expedi-
ton, 458,16 men were involved
and there were 1852 deaths
the USWV statisticians say. The
men served an average of IA
months at pay of S15.60a a month
One of the chief concerns OF
the encampment delegates will
be to get higher pensions fol-
widows.
Commander Hewitt empha-
sized that the veterans them
selves wanted mot one cent,
but "our widows are up in years
beyond the productive age and
cannot work."
The encampment will continue
through Thursday.
