_ Getting Chance to Say More Than ‘H
; By JEAN MANEY " Indianapolis didn’t get a chance to meet Margaret Truman last night, but come spring the Hoosier capital may hear her sing, she told The Times in an exclusive interview. Because of an oversight by her father and the urgent desire of secret service men to get the presidential family safely back on the
train, ‘neither Margaret nor her mother was

Margaret had never heard of our|
Butler Bowl series, but thought the idea of a summer program would “be just wonderful.” Sorority Greets Her The . President's daughter was greeted at the Union station by five members of Pi Beta Phi Sorority of which she is a member. The giris boarded the train and Margaret introduced them to “Daddy.” She and her father seemed relaxed and fresh, but Mrs. Truman looked tired. Margaret wore a black wool coat with a green plaid lined hood. Mrs. Truman wore a black basic dress with a short mink cape. Her sailor hat was decorated with a glossy black bird's wing. The family was driven to a reception in the Indiana Roof and from there to their rooms in the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Secret service men guard the first family closely as Margaret says “they have a job to do, and they do it most thoroughly.” Enjoys Campaigning Margaret enjoys campaigning with her father. “I would like a little more time to” get to talk to people. The Pi Phi's at the train looked. like such good gals, but we were so rushed for time I couldn't do more than say ‘Hi.'”
As to her love life, the president's daughter had only the usual “no comment.” Margaret

Promises to Unite Social Agencies
Dewey Addresses 7500 at Rensselaer
©. By ROBERT BLOEM RENSSELAER, Oect..16—Governor Thomas E. Dewey, Republican nominee ‘' for president, promised today that if he ig elected president he will unite all federal social agencies into a single “department of . social progress.” Speaking before 7500 _Republicans here in the home town of
Indiana's Congressman Charles Halleck, Mr. Dewey said: “One of the great and solemn tasks before us is to care for the security of our people. “Services which the government must perform for the people are now so scattered and in so many hands that nobody is getting the service to which he is entitled.
Rain Stops Crowd
Mr. Dewey spoke here in the St. Joseph's College fieldhduse. | Rain early in the morning and threat of more rain kept thousands of Hoosiers away who had planned to attend what was scheduled to be Mr. Dewey's only appearance. in Indiana. (At the last minute the schedule was changed to allow a brief trackside talk in Hammond following the speech here.) The fieldhouse seated only 6000; persons and left standing room| for several hundred more but reports that the crowd would overflow the fieldhouse by many thousands apparently led many to believe they might have to] stand in the rain to hear the speech. ~ “To perform the services of public health alone there are 10 agencies in Washington,” Mr. Dewey said. “From one end of Washington to the other, agencies have been scattered by lavish and extravagant hands and

We need to make it possible for every American to afford medioal:care. . “National health insurance i= no more revolutionary, no more un-American than any other form of insurance. A nation can be no stronger than the health of its citizens.” Congress also turned down his plea for more aid to education— “the same disgraceful story.” “Within a few years this country will need 200,000 more classrooms, thousands more teachers. Our schools face a crisis, not enough teachers, not enough pay for teachers, and it's getting worse, not better.” Education, Mr. Truman said, is the “citadel of human freedom” and only by recognizing it as a governmental function to see that all citizens have these advantages can the United States remain wise enough and strong enough to “lead the world to lasting peace.”
