Margo Freeman ,
In Harp Concert
Here Friday Night
<Con inucd from Page One)
sic at the age of four, learning on
a small harp known as the Clark
Irish. Margo is also an accom
plished pianist and vocalist.
H r profess;onal career began
when she was 16 years old. She
toured Mexico and the United
States with a 22-piece orchestra
with its own company of dancers.
Af er more than two years on the
concert tour, Margo returned to
the coast and organized the group
of four musicians that became
known as the Hollywood Harp En
semble.
The musical artists, after attain
ing night club popularity, were
next sought by the motion picture
companies.
“We worked days at the stu
dios,” Margo related, "and nights
at the clubs. We kept it up for
four years and then were all so
overworked we had to give it
up.”
The ensemble furnished back
ground music for musical scores
of several movies, and also appear
ed in film sequences. Among her
students was Fay Bainter, whose
role in “The Human Comedv,”
called for her to play%the harp.
• Margo was married to Cap*.
Lloyd Freeman and return to
Alaska in 1946 when he was as
signed to Fort Richardson with
' the Tenth Rescue Squadron. The
hrap, which Margo has owned
since she was 12, followed by
plane in December of that same
year. Although it had traveled
thousands of miles, this was the I
harp’s first trip by air and it by
passed Margo’s home a Sitka.
T!ie harpist rates herself a sec
on d - g e n eration Alaskan. Her
grandfather, Nicholas Ualev, was !
an American soldier stationed at 1
Sitka. He was present at the cere- ,
mony which transferred Alaska
i
from Russia to the United States.
Haley decided to make his home
in the Territory. He went to the

States for his bride and returned,
settling in Sitka in 1H67
Margo’s parents, the Charles
Haley’s, still reside in Sitka. Her
father sings in the Russian choirs,
is an organist and a veritable his
torian on the Territory. He speaks
Tlingit as well as Russian and
never ceases to fascinate his only
child with tales of old Alaska.
Some of the stories tell of ships
in Sitka harbor, and Haley would
enjoy hearing Margo play the
'Sea Chanty” during the concert
Friday evening. When the con
certo was in its early stages of re
hearsal, Margo put in hours of
practice alone at the harp. After
listening to the oft-repeated re
frain of “Blow the Man Down,”
persons in the adjoining room
asked Margo:
“Aren’t you ever going to get
that man blown down?”
Mrs. Freeman is scheduled to
arrive Friday on the Alaska Air
lines, weather permitting.

MEET THE PRESIDENT: (No. 4) Peace Problems—Hot and Cold
■
I

I

• Last of a Four-Part Feature)
PEACE brought new problems, both domestic and in
ternational, to the quiet Missourian in the White House.
The nation was plagued with a record number of strikes
as piace.* skyrocketed into inflation. Sharp disputes over
ideo'ogic' of the F.ast and West developed into a “cold
war” between the United States and Russia.
I ’ en?ss due t? strikes and walkouts rose ‘o 116.001,000
mat d >ys in '946—three tmes the l’gure for the previous
year. T”iiman broke the paralyzing railroad tie-up in the
y >nnrr of 1SM6 after two days, by threatening to run the
tra'n vvi h troop-*.
War-time p icc controls were chopped in June, 1046.
whe ; President Truman vetoed a watered-down bill for
extension of the OPA. Tne bill, he said, offered only a
"choice bet vpon inflation with a statute and inflation
without one.”
For he first time in 15 years, the Republican party
gained control of both Houses of Congress in 1P46.
And then Congress passed the Taft-Hartley labor law ,
ovt-r Trum/xn’s veto, banning the closed shop and amend
ing the Wagner Act to restrict other union activities.
President Truman’s programs for universal military
training, broadening of Social Security coverage, long
range housing, and the St. Lawrence waterway were re
jected.
Qther major legislative measures pressed by Truman
won approval, however. These included unification of the
armed forces, change in succession to the Presidencv, ap
propriation of $400,000,000 for Greek-Turkish aid in ac
cordance with the Truman Doctrine, appropriations for
Marshall Plan foreign aid, and ratification of peace
treaties with Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Rumania.
The Truman Doctrine called for material aid to “help
rrcc peoples to maintain their free institutions and na
‘ional integrity against aggressive movements that seek to
impose upon them totalitarian regimes.” The plan of Sec
re arv of State George C. Marshall called for American
aid on the basis of European self-help. Both programs
have been denounced by Russia.
To teed hungry lands abroad, President Truman urged
s»wh voluntary measures as meatless and eggless dsfys.
Mill ons of tons of foodstuffs were sent to Europe. In 1947
alone, 18,433,000 long tons were sent overseas to meet the
threat of "mass starvation.”
Truman s populai icy was at a low ebb when his cam
paign for election in his own right began in 1948. South
ern "States Rights” delegates marched out of the Demo
cratic national convention to form their own party when
Ti uman re-fused to back down on his civil rights program
Henry Wallace formed a Progressive Partv, with the ob
vious intent of drawing left wing votes away from the
I resident. Few prognosticators though: Truman had a
chance to defeat Thomas E. Dewey with his smooth-run
ning Republican campaign machinery.
When a Missouri voter suggested that Truman with
draw from the Presidential race, he replied: "I was not
brought up to run from a fight.” At every whistle stop he
castigated Congress ns "the worst we have had since the
iirst one met. His outspoken campaign was in sharp con
trast with the quiet and colorless Dewey drive. When the
votes were counted, Harry S. Truman had been elected
i^esident on the basis of a one-man campagn that all the
experts had foredc>omed to failure. Newsfeaturer
