The answer came on Wednesday
when Connecticut Gov. Ribicoff
journeyed to Independence to in
vite Mr.. Truman to come aboard
the campaign special for a series
of major speeches. Mr.. Truman
agreed but said he didn't see it as
a Whistle-Stop this time. Anyway,
Whistle-stops were out of date. AS
a matter of fact, Mr.. Ribicoff ar
rived at Independence in an air.
plane. Times had changed since
1913.
Mr.. Truman hadn't changed so
much. Asked about his quick re-
versal of his feeling toward Ken
nedy he said simply: The Demo-
cratic convention decided that,

Trumon's Reasoning

There'd never been any doubt
that Mr.. Eisenhower would sup
port Nixon. Whether Senator Ken
nedy would win the aid of Harry
S. Truman was another matter.
Hadn't the peppery former Presi-
dent said on the eve of the nomi-
mating convention that he doubted
the youthful leading contender was
ready for the presidency? Could
the contender mature quickly
enough?

now extends to about 9 of 10
working people and their depend
entS. About $40 million benefit
checks have been issued during the
last five years. During June IA
26l,828 individuals received a to-
tai of S889,862 500 and the amount
goes up each month.
Up to June 80 of this year the
unemployment insurance system
had paid out $27 billion in indi-
vidual benefits.
Benefits totaling $39,077 ,988, 900
had been paid out through June
80 under the public assistance pro-
grams in which the Federal Gov
eminent participates. Federal
funds made up $20,753 ,242,000 of
the total. There is no Federal aid
for general assistance, formerly
known as general relief.
Huge Grants TO Stotes
Some programs supplemented or
supplemented by provisions of the
original Social Security Act are no
longer included under that law.
The amount of grants made to the
States by all such programs from
1885 through June 80. whether
under the Social Security Act or
not. were:
Children'S Bureau - Maternal
and child health, $235, 1872 ,O62;
crippled children, $196, 646 ,668;
child welfare, $1O9,O97,09O, and
emergency and infant care "a
temporary World War II pro-
gram, SIPS ,l68,315.
Public Health Service - $780,
100000.
Office of Vocational Rehabilita-
tion-$428,4l5,657. This Office has
also spent $2lI56,793 for training
and $18,067 ,529 for research.
The basic purposes covered in
the original act are still the
cornerstones of the overall social
security program, but there have
been major expansions in the
retirement benefits program and
more are in prospect.
Congress is now considering a
number of social security amend
ments. including provision of
medical care for the aged. 1t has
become customary for the social
security act to be broadened in
election years.
The original old-age insurance
program providing solely for re-
tirement benefits to covered work
ers was to be financed by the
workers and their employers
through special taxes.
This unique financing system
still is followed, though the pro-
gram now covers the families OF
workers and disabled workers as
we'll as the workers themselves
and though amounts of benefits
to individuals have been greatly
increased.

TheCampoign:
Support

Former President Truman
agreed to make a series OF cam
paign speeches this fall for Sem
atOr Kennedy.
President Eisenhower said he
thought the NiXOn-LOdge ticket
is going to do we'll and that he
would do whatever he could to
help.
AS for the campaign itself-Vice
President Nixon was on the bench
and Senator Kennedy was batting
flies while the teams played for
the scoreboard.
Mr.. Nixon said he hadn't much
campaigning in mind until after
the present short session of Con-
gress ends. He went to Portland,
Me. for an anniversary celebration
speech yesterday and he will go to
Greensboro, N. c., next Wednes-
day in a Volunteers for Nixon
Lodge rally. On August "a he
goes to Detroit to address the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars.
One veteran who is already very
much in the Nixon camp-Presi-
dent EisenhoWer-gave him an
other hunk of help. At his press
conference the President expressed
it this way:
II think the Nixon-Lodge ticket
is going to do we'll And whatever
1 can do to promote it, and its
success. because of my conviction
that it would be good for the coun-
try, I shall do. Now this doesn't
mean that I possibly should be
out in the hastings and making
partisan speeches. I'm not sure
that it is, that it would be a good
thing. I've got a lot of other re-
sponsibilities and I've got lot of
other commitments around the
country. But I think they are

1850 amendments raised average
benefits about 81 per cent. Other
boosts have been Is per cent in
1852, Is per cent in 1854 changes,
and 7 per cent in 1858.
Mr.. Mitchell said all the social
security programs seek to respond
to needs and changing concepts
but certain basic principles re-
main.
I'VE recognize the great value
of initiative and action by private
organizations and by local COM
munities," Mr.. Mitchell said. I'VE
also know there are problems and
needs that transcend local boun-
diaries and require federal leader
ship and action.
Better Family Protection
However, since our society
functions primarily through the
family, the purpose of most
amendments to the social security
act has been better service and
broader protection to American
families.
I'VE should expect changes in
all the social security programs.
Their general direction may be
summarized by two main goals:
l. ITO assure all Americans
something more than minimum
economic security.
2. ITO bring increased under
standing and service to the nom
economic needs of man"
Through June 80. the program
started out solely to provide re-
tirement benefits to something
like 6 out of 10 working people
had paid out $57,200,00000O in
individual retirement benefits and
had issued more than a billion in
dividual checks. The coverage

But this quality of concern for
others is most evident in his deep
feeling for the individual soldier.
We can hear the understanding
and the blunt ring of strong con-
viction, when in his third biennial
report in l945 he has this to say:
1T is impossible for a nation to
compensate for the services of
fighting man. There is no pay scale
that is high enough to buy the
service of a single soldier during
even few minutes of the agony
of combat; the physical miSerieS
of the campaign, or the extreme
personal inconvenience of leaving
his home to 60 out to the most
unpleasant and dangerous spots on
earth to serve his Nation. :"
A Trumon Story
There was an incident in 1948
which, l think. is not only very
revealing about many of Gen.
Marshall's traits of character but
also shows a most engaging quail
ity of President Truman. have
obtained permission to tell this
story in detail.
A meeting of the Organization
of American States was scheduled
to be held in Bogota, Colombia,
beginning April 9, 1948, a little
over year after Gen. Marshall
had taken over the difficult job of
Secretary of State, to try to re-
orient our foreign policy in the
light of new conditions in the
world.
We had been forewarned that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-08-14

of the United States delegation
mounted. I stayed at the depart
ment most of the night of April
10-11 and went home little bit
after O'Clock in the morning to
get a couple of hours sleep, from
which I was awakened by the
watch officer calling to say that
we had a message coming in, in
dicating that the roof of the Sec
ton of the embassy, which housed
the communication and code room,
had been set on fire and that the
codes and equipment might have
to be destroyed for security rea-
sons. went back to the depart
ment and, as we were not able to
maintain reliable contact by nor
NAL radio means, my apprehension
grew.
The Threot Of Danger
1t was clear from an earlier
message that General Marshall
was staying at a villa located IN
a large property about a block in
size. We decided to try to get
through to him by a telephone
circuit which was the sole remain
ing method of communication
After considerable delay we did
reach the house which had been
assigned to General Marshall. Jim
George and Pat Carter answered
the call. I asked how the general
was and they said fine; I asked
how the mission was, and they
said that so far as they knew,
everything was OK; nobody had
been hurt; some had had narrow
escapes" l asked Carter if there
was any particular danger. He
said he thought not at the
moment.
To my question as to how the
general was getting along. he said
and this is a reasonably accu-
rate quotation-"The old man IS
fine, he is untroubled, to tell you
the truth, I think he is having
'more fun than he has had since
he was a young lieutenant in the
Philippine instruction. A little
while ago he was out in the garage
inStructing a young lieutenant of
the Colombian Army as to how 10
dispose his men. telling him to
bring most of them in out of the
rain to shelter. where they could
be warm and get some coffee. and
to leave on duty only the mini
mum required to sound an alert if
necessary. so that the others, warm
and rested, could come out fight
ing mad and repel any attacks If
needed"
Carter said the old man"
wanted to talk to me and in d
moment or two. the generals calm
voice came on the line. To the
best of my recollection, the con-
versation went something like
this:
The general said, Can you hear
me, Lovett?" I said, Yes, sir"
and started to say, General, how
are you?" when he cut in with,
"Lovett. how's your cold? Are
you doing what I told you to do
about it?"
At that point, my gaskets blew
and I think, in a sanitized version.
I said. Holy smoke. General,
never mind about me. How are
you and the delegation? He said,
"Everything's fine at the moment.
We've had a little excitement
down here" but he felt the situa-
ton was beginning to stabilize, or
would shortly; that the Colombian
government had tried to provide

LOVETT'S "REMINISCENCES

Robert A. LOvett, former Sec
rotary of Defense, was awarded
the first George Catlett Marshall
medal for selfiess service to
the United States of America"
at a dinner of the Association
of the United States Army last
Wednesday. In accepting the
medal, Mr.. LOvett, who was a
close associate of Gen. Marshall
in both the Defense and State
Departments, recalled his per-
sOnal impressions of the general
in some hitherto untold stories:
If a man is very fortunate he
may have, once in a lifetime. the
opportunity to work in cause
he believes in with all his heart
and soul and under the leadership
Of a man whom he admireS, re-
spectS, and comes to love. I have
had that great privilege three
times: Once, with Henry L. Slim
son and. twice, with Gen. Mar
shall, and. until the day l die, I
will be grateful to them for letting
me see, at first hand, the qualities
of greatness and true leadership.
Both these extraordinary men
had much in common. The
strengths of both stem from the
fundamentals of sterling char
acter. Both had unshakable in
tegrity. Both were fearless of
the consequences of a course of
action they felt in duty bound to
take.
Working close to them was,
therefore, a stimulating and in
spring experience, in part because
their own personal standards were
so high that, unless you were a
hopeless clod, you had to raise
your own. Service with them
could not fail to refine and add
balance to ones sense of values.
Since October, 1859, I have
wanted to share with Gen. Mar
shall's old comrades in arms some
memories of him and to reminisce
about the little-knoWn man, be-
hind the serious and dignitied
exterior, whom the world regarded
with respect, admiration, and
something akin to awe. -.
So would like tonight to speak
of the warmhearted. conSiderate,
generous, and modest man, whom
many of you knew so well, and
I think the general will forgive
me and realize that it is a COM
fort to speak of those we miss.
Observing Gen. Marshall at
close range under all manner OF
difficult circumstances, it seems to
me that his greatness stems from
a number of traits and talents
which have not been fully rec
ognized OF adequately mentioned.
Some were exceptional gifts. His
eminence in leadership, it seems
to me, was talent bestowed by
divine providence and heightened
by use and experience, as is the
case in any great talent, what
ever the field.
His greatness, however, was en-
riched by personal traits which,
like ardor, spring from the heart.
He was a man of extraordinary
compassion, of most sensitive and
discriminating instinct, and there
was an air of natural elegance
about him which was unaSSuming
and added enormously to his calm
dignity. -.
Concern for Others
There were two qualities which
seemed to me to have had deep,
perhaps even controlling, influence
in lifting him to the heights OF
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-08-14

protection, which he thought was
going to be adequate but that the
riot was going to pretty we'll break
up the meeting unless other dele
cations could be assured of being
evacuated if necessary.
1 asked him what we could do
TO be helpful and told him the
President had instructed me to
tell him that he could have any,
thing he wanted to insure the
safety of the delegation or for any
other purpose.
The Supplies Needed
General Marshall said he
thought that the meeting could be
held together if positive assurance
of air transportation could be
given. He said at last report the
government still held the airfield
and that he felt that some troop
carrier planes of squadron from
the Panama Canal Zone would
do the job if they could be held
on alert in Panama subject to his
call. I asked him if he needed
any particular supplies. emphaslz-
ing the word supplies" in such
manner as to make me feel sure
he realized that I meant small
arms or other defensive equip
ment. The general said, No" all
he wanted was a gross of candles,
some evaporated milk, some Karo
syrup, and several thousand
ponchos. I remember hanging
onto the desk while I digested this
weird list and wondering who was
going to hold a taffy-pull at night
in a rainStorm. I said that l
would see about having them
flown in at once with some emer-
gency rations from the Canal
Zone.
1t was a little after 7 o'clock in
the morning by now and l called
the White House operator and
asked her to try to locate the
Secretary of the Army at his resi-
dence in Washington. She re-
ported shortly that he was out of
town on an inspection trip. I then
tried the Chief of Staff of the
Army. who was away on official
business at some Army post. The
operator was then asked to try to
get hold of the Deputy Chief of
Staff.
was feeling bit frustrated by
this time, and. in rather self
plying voice. I said to the opera
tor, Good gosh, isn't there any
body in Washington on this bright
April morning except you and
me?" The reply came promptly
back, Yes, Mr.. Secretary, PreSi-
dent Truman is here. Would you
like to speak to him?" I said,
Isn't it a bit early?" and the an

In a moment President Tru-
mans voice came on the phone
and he said, Whats the news,
Bob?"
Il gave him the reaSsuring re-
port from General Marshall about
our delegation and included a re-
port on the request for supplies.
The President asked what I was
doing about getting them down to
him promptly.
I told him that I was having a
little trouble digging out someone
early on Sunday morning who
could issue the necessary author

Inspiring Confidence

If you will reflect on this Incl
dent moment, you will recognize
that calm, steadfaStness, instinct
about a soldiers needs and con-
Germ for them, in addition to
ability to inspire confidence turned
something that might have been
a shameful disaster into a minor,
irritating event.
l mentioned earlier that one of
General Marshall's most unusual
attributes and one, I think,
which added a great deal to his
Stature-WaS his recognition of
the fact that Nature never stands
still and that change is, indeed,
one of the primary laws of life.
His receptiveneSS to new ideas,
which you have seen, for example,
in the use of airpower and in the
Marshall plan, was made easier by
this philosophy. for he was not
burdened with the attitude u
mind which regards any change
as threat to the established Or
der or vested rights, if you
choose-which must, therefore, be
automatically, even blindly re-
sisted

ity to the commanding general in
the Panama Canal Zone to make
delivery of the requested supplies.
He said. We'll, Bob, you've
found him"
Rather startled, I said, Il beg
your pardon, sir" - and heard
laughter from the other end of
the line, followed by the question,
Have you forgotten that the
President is also the Commander
III Chief?"
I said l was sorry that I had for
the moment, and the President
said that a heck of a lot of other
people around town had, too, with
less excuse than 1 had. He then
asked me to tell him what Gen.
eral Marshall had requested.
I read him the list and said,
Mr.. President, have I your au-
thority to send a message to Gen
eral Crittenberger and tell him
that you have approved the ship
ment of these items immediately"
He said, mo, I'll call him on
the phone myself and tell him
that I want them shipped at once
and to have those troop carriers
warmed up and ready to on Gen.
eral Marshall'S call"
The President called back in
about 20 minutes and said that
he had talked to General Critten-
berger and that everything was
being taken care of.
My embarrassment at the cpl
sode with the President was eaSed
by two things: the President never
told on me and our people got
home safely. But my curiosity
about the pOnchoS almost killed
me until got the story from Car
ter and George. 1t appears that
the Colombian troops came up
from the jungle heat to the high
altitude of Bogota, with the tenn
perature about so, in thin cotton
uniforms and the general realized
that standing around in the
drizzle and cold would make them
miserable and, therefore, not as
reliable in facing a mob as if they
could be dry and warm. The
ponchos were issued, the troops
were enthusiastic about them, and
the delegations got on with the
business as soon as they knew
they could be airlifted out if nee
aSSary.
