so-called Geneva Spirit, he said
in answer to question, didn't.
amount to a damn"
New York's Gov. Averell Har-
rilnan. Mr.. Truman said, was
right when he called, the con-
ference failure.
Taking No Sides
Hartman knows what he is
talking about. He dealt with the
Russians. They understand only
force"
The Republicans, Mr.. Truman
said, put foreign policy into
the political arena after Mr..
Roosevelt and I had kept it out
for years. Now the Democrats
are in a position to make the
most OF it and I am sure they
will. The present administra-
tons mistakes must be made
an issue of the next campaign.
Asked If his reference to Gov.
Hartman had any political
significance, the former Presi-
dent said it didn't; that he
wasn't taking sides among Gov.
Hartman. Adlai Stevenson and
Senator Kefauver until the con-
next year"
Questioned VIII ether he
thought the recent illness of
Eisenhower hadn't
called attention to "the Ameri-
can habit of naming any old
Tom. Dick or Harry to the vice
presidency" Mr.. Truman said he
didn't feel that way.
IF you will pardon a seeming
egotism, said the MiSsiourian
who rose from the Vice Presi-
dency to the White House, with
a broad smile, Il don't think the
people are in the habit
of making mistakes in choosing
their Vice Presidents"
Would you say, then, that Mr..
Nixon was not a mistaken" he
was asked.
II don't want to discuss
Mr.. Truman said. with
no trace of a smile. II don't like
Nixon and I never will. I don't
want to even discuss him. He
called me traitor and if I'm a.
traitor the United States is in a.
henuva shape"
With that, he terminated the
