“FRIDAY, APRIL 3/985 ~ Truman Rises American Way; . Farmer, Soldier, President

WASHINGTON, April. 13 (U. P.) ~Harry 8. Truman, the 32d president of the United States, like many of his predecessors, spent his early life on a farm.

He was born at Lamar, Mo. He married his childhood sweetheart, the former Bess Wallace. They have one child, Mary Margaret, 21, President Truman's mother once said of him that he could “plow the straightest row of corn in the country.” On his way to the highest office in the land, he held jobs as drug store clerk, railroad timekeeper, bank clerk and newspaper mailing clerk, °° 4

Named to Senate in "34

He was elected to the senate in 1934 with the backing of the late Missouri political boss, Thomas J. Pendergast. He quickly won a reputation for getting things done. As chairman. of the war investigating committee he was renowned as ‘‘watchdog of the war effort.” Y In world war-1, he commanded a field artillery battery and saw action at St. Mihiel and MeuseArgonhe, He entered the war as a private and ended as a major. He later won a reserve colonel’s commission. ; v

He was elected Jackson County, Mo., judge in 1922, and held two four-year terms. The new President attracted little attention in the senate until 1941 when he. won his demand for an Inquiry into defense con-

He won nomination for Vice President at Chicago last- July with the support of Democratic Committee Chairman Robert E. Hannegan, also from Missouri, and former Vice President Henry A. Wallace was -byspassed. Prior to the election he stated that he had no ambition tp be President, but would follow President Roosevelt “to the end.” When he became Vice President last Jan. 20 Mr. Truman, unlike Mr. Wallace, said he would take no sideline assignments, but would concentrate on his job of Vice President. His vice presidency, he said, would be dedicated to a crusade for world peace and to furthering the exchange of information and ideas between the White House and the senate,

Loyal to Roosevelt

He has strongly advocated international co-operation along

velt. He has expressed the belief that - the Yalta meeting of the “Big Three” and. the scheduled San Francisco ' conference : indicated “progress--on--the road -toworld order.” sa Mr: Truman is gray haired, a Baptist, and a former grand master of the Masonic lodge. He plays the piano, loves music and calls reading his “major hobby.” His loyal support of Mr. Roosevelt dates back to his election to the senate, when he told Missourians that the New Deal had been the important issue in his victorious campaign. “I'm following President Roosevélt to the eld of it,” he said.
