Margaret Truman
Broadcast Concert
HOLLYWOOD, (/P) — Margaret
Truman, the President’s 23-year
old daughter, expressed confidence
as she prepared Saturday to make
her concert debut as soprano solo
ist before at least 15,000 persons in
Hollywood bowl.
“I actually think this perform
ance was harder on my family and
friends than on me,” said the
young, blonde singer. She express
ed disappointment that the Presi
dent and Mrs. Truman were un
able to be in the audience.
‘‘I worked hard preparing for
the concert and I’m confident.’
Miss Truman explained. ‘‘But all
mother and dad could do was sit
back and wait for the reports.”
The concert was not broadcast.
She was relaxing today after a
strenuous week of rehearsals and j
the climax Saturday night when
she stood, poised and confident, i
before the audience of 15,000 in
Hollywood Bowl and made her
concert debut.
“It was a thrilling experience
appear before such a large and
magnificent audience at the
Bowl,” commented the 23-year
old soprano, only child of the
President and Mrs. Truman.
U. S. Should Admit
Displaced Persons
WASHINGTON, </P> — Senator
Downey (D.-Calif.> said today the
United States faced a “serious
menace of race suicide.”
Hence, the California lawmaker
told a reporter, he is “very sym
pathetic” to President Trilman’s
proposal to admit some 400,000 of
Europe’s displaced persons.
Senator Revercomb (R.-W. Va.>
declared in a separate interview,
however, that efforts are under
way to “break down” this coun
try’s immigration barriers and
“this must not happen."
Revercomb is chairman of a spe
cial Senate committee which pla.ns
to investigate Mr. Truman’s pro
posal and other immigration prob
lems. He said his group will have
specific recommendations ready
for Congress after “we get all the
facts” by means of public hearings 1
and a visit to the occupied coun
tries of Europe.
The Senate authorized the com-!
mittee inquiry in lieu of acting
immediately on a bill to authorize
the admission of 100.000 European
refugees a year over a four-year
period. A $50,000 fund was made
available for the study.
