MEET THE PRESIDENT: (No. 2) In Business and Polities
‘Second of a Four-Part Feature)
THK OXLY GIRL. Harry Truman ever had was Bess
Wallace. They had met as li;llc tots, when both attended
the ’re.bytcrian Sunday School. They were in the same
grad'' "n elementary school, and were graduated from
h ’h ?rhro! together. Harry and Bess were married in
19'9. Tbe:r only child, Margaret was bom in 1924.
Tor T. unions mevod to Kansas City, where Harry went
I to 'v> haberdashery business with an Army buddy. Silk
rVrts • nd similar luxuries were selling well in those days,
and fo** while he s ore flourished. Then came the dcfla
tio.- ;he H>2»i’s. The store failed.
Tv al’ c^d 'o1*? were paid in full. But more
!h >n t ’read * letcr, v. hen Harry Truman went to the Sen
n*', hr war still paying in tallrr.cn‘s of the $110,000 deficit.
!!'*■• friends say he’s o-onrier of having met this debt than
of mythm" else he has clone.
Another Army buddy, James Pendergast, helped Tru
man to a new start. Jim went to his uncle Tom. then po
K:>3i ho-^s of Kansas City, with a recommendation for
Cnptwn Harry. Ir. !922. Truman a t aim'd his first pol\*t•
cni vV.V.ce, v\ he:* he was elected © one of the three po?i
tions on the Jackson county court. This body is equiv
alent to a board of commissioners or supervisors.
"It isn’t business and it isn’t politics to run this county
into debt,” Tinman said during the course of his firs
campaign. “I want it to be made a felony to spend money
the county hasn’t on hand.” He campaigned frequently
alter that on a program of economy and of receiving full
value for money expended.
Defeated for re-election to the county court two years
later, Truman ran for presiding judge in 1926, and won
with Pendergast’s endorsement. He was re-elected in
1930. As presiding judge, he was responsible for a S23,
000,000 highway and public building program, the largest
ever undertaken by a Mussouri county.
When Truman ran Cor United States Senate in 1934, he
was scarcely known outside Missouri. He won 'he nomin
ation with a plurality of 262,000 votes over two oppon
ents. He was chairman of the Senate sub-comm ltee that
made the railroad finance investigation which resulted in
the Transpor ation Act of 1940. He held the hearings and
virtually wrote the Civil Aeronautics Act.
Truman narrowly averted defeat when he ran for re*
election in 1940. The Pendregast organization had been
smashed and its leader sent to prison on an income ta •
charge. Ignoring “bossism” as an issue, Truman rar. as a
Mew Dealer, coining the phrase ‘‘the good right arm of
he President” for himself.
In Penderga*t's adversity, Truman remained loyal. “!t
wouldn't desert a ship in distress.” he declared. "Tom
Pendergast never asked me to do a dishonest deed.” When
he attended the funeral of his friend and early politico*
mentor, a few days after he became vice presidnt, Truman
said: “I am truly sorry. He was my friend.”
Refore and alter Pearl Harbor. Truman tried to gt:
tive duty in the Army. He was turned down by Genera I
of the Army. George C. Marshall, chief of staff, because
of his age. Unable to help on the battlefield, he decided
hte next best thing he could do was to keep close watch or,
government war expenditures.
The Senate authorized the inquiry he suggested, but al
lowed only $15,000 instead of the $25,000 he had requested
for his committee. Senator Truman was named chairman
He hired a lawyer and went to work. (PP) Newsfeatjre*^
