second World War, he was in
Cairo on a famine relief mission
for President Truman. Duty re-
quired that he put in a call at
the American Embassy to Mr..
Truman in Washington.
The call was put through. The
President and ex-PreSident of the
United States exchanged pleasan-
tries and settled their business.
Several minutes after the call, Mr..
Hoover was summoned to the
phone again. He was heard to
say, mo, that's all right. We
finished" To an aide he remarked,
That was the overseas operator.
She said we hadn't used up our
three minutes"
While he has formed many
warm friendships and savors good
conversation. Mr.. Hoover rarely
talks about himself, rarely reveals
the inner man. Despite, and per-
haps because of, many long years
in public service, he remains an
unusually shy, reserved person.
HE has great sense of dis
cipline," said friend. He was
an orphan. He is a Quaker. He
is not accustomed to weeping on
anyone'S shoulder"
When Mrs. Hoover died in 1914,
it was clear the ex-President felt
the loss profoundly. But he said
little to anyone.
On a Thursday morning, some
years ago, he was discussing with
a close friend his plans for he
next week. Mr.. Hoover never hap
pened to mention what he already
knew and the friend didn't-that
that same Thursday afternoon he
was going to the hospital for a
gall bladder operation.
MeIIowed Since 1888
Among Mr.. Hoover's friends,
there are those who say he has
been changed, been mellowed by
the altered public image of him
since 1888. Others put it another
way. They say the human warmth
was always there, that it retreated
into a shell during the bitter de-
preston criticism and emerged
only as a result of new public
affection.
In any case, the public attitude
has changed and Herbert Hoover
has acknowledged it in a number
of small private ways.
On a recent summer afternoon,
at the Bohemian Grove in Cali
fornia, about 100 campers came
up to pay their respects at Mr..
Hoover'S cabin. This was typical
of recent years but the former
President was moved to remark
to a friend, You know the first
time I came here after leaving the
White House, only two people
sought me out. And they Sneaked
in through the woods so nobody
would see them"
Several years ago Mr.. Hoover
was being driven by commercial
chauffeur to a dinner engagement
just north of New York City
Being late, he urged the driver
to make time. A motorcycle COP
stopped them, bawled out the
driver and was about to write out
a ticket when Mr.. Hoover inter-
coded and took the blame himself
Whereupon the cop put away
his book, smiled broadly and said
why, Mr.. Hoover. I've been want
ing to shake your hand for 2C
years"

Since then, he has handled,
with great praise, four major as

attended speeches, including four
moving "farewells" to G.. o. P.
national conventions, and written
IL books, including the we'll re-
ceived study of The Deal of
Woodrow Wilson," Most of this
was done after Mr.. Hoover passed
the age of 10.
Among other things, at SO and
writing in pencil, he undertook a
four volume series titled can
American Epic" an exhaustive
report on non-governmental
American charity for the rest of
the world in the last IS years. The
fourth volume was recently fin
ished. Now Mr.. Hoover is at work
on a new book, a study of foreign
affairs, including the cold war
period.
At 81, he remains alert, keen,
productive, profoundly interested
in world and national affairs, and
a remarkable practitioner of in
tense concentration in work or
play.
Two friends who recently en-
tered the Hoover living work
room were not even noticed as
they walked in and stood for a
moment or two before his desk.

1t is difficult to know which he
minded more, although his views
on verbosity are sharp and clear.
After the ceremony, the 30th
President of the United States
was invited to the home of his
friend, the 32d President Of the
United States, for refreShment. A
local matron, gushing with curl
osity, fluttered up to Mr.. Hoover
and asked what ex-PreSidents do
with all their time.
Madame" said Mr.. Hoover,
Eve spend our time taking pills
and dedicating libraries"
Like all Hoover humor, which is
considerable, the joke was deliv-
cred dead-pan from a square,
apple-red face. The words were
bitten off, as if broken from a
fresh stalk of celery. The lines at
the edges of his mouth remained
turned down. Under the wispy
brows, a faint twinkle lurked be-
hind the misty blue eyes - the
look of a man who could no
longer be surprised, shocked or
hurt by the frailties of man.
None of the Nations three
\ ex-Presidents spends much time
on pills or ceremonial functions.
All remain busy men, OF the
three, the Oldest appears the
busiest.
Works 10 Hours q Day
At 81, the longest lived Presi-
dent since John Adams, Mr..
Hoover still puts in more than
10 hours of work day at his desk
in his Waldorf Towers apartment,
writing books, writing and re-
writing speeches and letters, help
ing to raise money for various
charitable and educational inSti-
tutionS.
Such activity would be remark
able for any man of 81. 1t is even
more remarkable for this man
who was supposed to have been
finished 18 years ago when his
tory slammed a door in his face
and snapped the bolt.
Herbert Hoover left the White
House in 1888 during the long
dark agony of the depression, in
which a majority of Americans
was persuaded he was the chief
villain. He left at a time of deep
bitterness.
ShantytownS were called
Hoovervilles; cars drawn by mules,
Hoover wagons; jack rabbits.
Hoover hogs; newspapers wrapped
around the body of man sleep
ing on a park bench, Hoover
blankets.
He left as the butt of a thou
sand bitter jokes. According to
one, President Hoover approached
his Secretary of the Treasury, An
drew Mellon, for the loan Of a
nickel to phone a friend. Said
Mr.. Mellon: Here's a dime; call
all of them"
He left the White House, it ap-
peared, a bitter and broken man.
At least one friend didn't expect
him to live another year. His
critics were certain he would
never be heard from again in pub
lie and even Republicans were
convinced he was a Stone-dead
political liability.
Since then, however, Mr.. Hoover
has not only endured but flour
ished in productive work and pub
lie esteem. There is now great
affection where there was little

NEW YORK. - In 1857, when
he was SO years old, Herbert
Hoover went out to Independence,
Mo, to help dedicate the Harry
Truman Library on a hot July
day.
For an eternity, he sat in 81
degree heat and a flow of oratory.
He left the White House in
bitter circumstances and, so
many though then, headed
straight for Obscurity. But Her
bert Clark Hoover, rich in inner

ductive work, emerged to new

things, is it a great matter
if we reap your carnal

have given you spiritual know
ledge, inner joy and peace,
the Sacramento. The least
you could do in exchange for
these spiritual blessings would
be to give us a few Of your
material things, such as

it was impossible to measure
the value Of the former with
the littleness Of the latter.

it a great matter if we reap
your carnal things?"
