’ By United Press WASHINGTON, May 3 President Truman sat down in the East Room 6f the White House and played the piano today while an estimated 30 milllon Americans in a television audience watched and listened, His impromptu performance came toward the end of a 48minute TV-tour of the White "House, * Mr, Truman personally guided the TV tour, which was flashed across the country by three major networks from 3 p. m, to 3:48 p. m,, Indianapolis time. Originally, it was #cheduled for an hour, but Mr, Truman and the three commentators who accompanied him at various times in the tour found themselves at the exit 12 minutes early. Mr. Truman was smiling and appeared relaxed once the show got on the air, but he had his nervous moments before. For fully five minutes before the opening scene, he stood on the first floor, fidgeting just like any performer about to make a TV debut,

Then on signal, he went, down to the first level to greet Walter Cronkite of the Columbia Broadcasting System TV network and soon they were in the diplomdtic recepfion room, where Mr. Truman noted the walls featured pictures of “some of the most heautiful first ladies.” . ” . ” THE pictures on the walls, Mr. Truman said, used to be of ex-presidents, but “I think. it looks much better with these good looking ladies.” He identi-

fied the pictures of Dollie Madison, Mrs, Theodore Roosevelt, Mrs, Herbert Hoover and Mrs. James K. Polk among others. - From then until he came upon the pianos in the East Room, Mr. Truman spun an informal history of the White Housé history with plenty of personal ©observations on the furnishings, decor, and former occupants, When he told Frank Bourgholzer of the National Broadcasting Co., that one of the pianos has about the “finest tone I ever heard,” he was asked to strike a few chords. Mr. Truman sat down and pauickly played a small portion of Mozart's Ninth Sonata. Then he walked across the room, stood before another piano which he said also has excellent tone. Still standing, he. played a few chords and ran his fingers gingerly down the keyboard. » » ” THE President confided that ‘sometime or other, I'm hoping to have a reception and have a two-piano concert in here with two of the world's greatest. pianos.” He didn't say who would play the pianos.

Among the spectators was the President's daughter, Margaret, who tagged along close behipd him—but always out of camera range. A concert soloist and a TV star, Miss Truman was asked how she would rate her father in his debut as an “entertainer.” “How can he miss with three networks?’ she quipped. In the Blue Room, Mr. Truman mentioned the danger of collapse which led to the threeyear, $5.7 million renovation

The floor began to bounce up and down,” Within a few days, architects and engineers had been called in to examine the place, Mr, Truman continued, “and ‘they moved me out.” » n n

EARLIER, standing in the family dining room, he gestured overhead and recalled that a leg of Margaret's plano came through the rotten ceiling. He laughed and said “we had to put some scaffolding” in to patch the hole.

At various other points, Mr, Truman:

Told how Mrs. Calvin Coolidge’'s pet dog once got Sen. Morris Sheppard's sausage at an informal White House breakfast.

have a state reception.” “The other evening we stood here

and shook hands with 1539 peo- |

After such a reception, Mr. Truman, said, the callers “go in and have some ¢ookies and punch—and then go away.” Tossed off a startling architectural observation about the Capitol — “that old sandstone building is going to crumple up one of these days.” That came after Mr. Truman laughingly recalled the furore over the balcony he added to

the White House. People didn’t |

understand it, he said. Then he went ahead to say that the Capitol hadn't been finished according to the architect's plan—‘“The Iron Dome” isn’t on it right. He suggested tourists coming here go down to the Capitol basement and gee the scale model Capitol as it should be.
