Truman Confident
World Is Moving
! Toward Peace
(By Ernest B. Vaccaro)
WASHINGTON, </P)—President
Truman began his fifth year in of
fice yesterday, convinced that the
world is moving slowly but surely
along the road to enduring peace.
Four years after taking over the
reins of a government which has
engaged in two devastating world
wars, he is known to feel that the
goal is at last in sight.
It can be stated authoritatively
' that Mr. Truman thinks another
j two years will bring an assurance
• of peace.
The turning point, in his opin
ion, was when the United States
made its crucial decision two
years ago to aid Greece and Tur
1 key against the threat of commun
’ ism envelopment.
" | The/ Marshall Plan with its Eu
“1 ropean recovery program, and the
| signing of the North Atlantic pact,
he believes, are further develop
ments in the successful march to
prevent aggression.
Mr. Truman, who will be 65
next May 8, looked cheerful and
well when photographers called in
his office Monday to make anni
versary pictures.
He weighs 178 pounds, 11 more
than he did when he was sum
I monad to the White House April
12, 1945, to take the oath of office.
His physician, Brig. Gen. Wal
lace H. Graham, thinks he’s a bit
* too fat.” He is walking every
morning before breakfast and 1 ik
ing regular swims in the White
House pool in an effort to reduce
his waistline.
Mr. Truman celebrated his
fourth anniversary a- President by
lunching with old colleagues on
Capitol Hill.
He has changed but little in
many respects. Although he speaks
wi h a hreery c nfidence on many
public occasions, in the intimacy
of friends he speaks with the same
quiet modesty that has been his
trademark in the past.
fie tells his closest friends that
he does not consider himself a
brilliant man, but rather a man
whtf works constantly to do a good
job.

Dr. Hanson said the jack-knifed
position in the 14-inch casing pre
vented her from breathing ex
cept with great difficulty. A pre
liminary autopsy report blamed
suffocation for her death.
Dr. Hanson and Dr. Robert J.
McCullough said the child prob
ably died painlessly and likely
within an hour and a half after
she fell 90 feet into the abandoned
well at 4:30 Friday afternoon.
They said she was conscious when
a rope was dropped to her but
couldn’t hold onto it and some
how fell another four feet.
Dr. Hanson said he believed it
was at that time that her legs be
came wedged against her chest.
