He's got to be prepared to carry a tre- mendous burden. He's got to get himself ready for this.” Next afternoon, about three, even as Franklin Roosevelt was entering his last hour of life, Rayburn called over to Truman's office in the Senate, said he wanted to see the Vice-President. Truman said he'd drop over when the Senate recessed. He had just arrived to see Rayburn when word came from Steve Early that the event which Truman so long dreaded, finally had transpired. INSIDE STORY OF CHICAGO Like Calvin Coolidge, Truman has been the product of political mir- acles. The first, was when Boss Pendergast of Kansas City picked him, a totally umknown country judge, to run for $he Senate seat) of the fameus Jim Reed. The other was when he was tapped for the Democratic Vice-Presidential nomi- nation last summer inp Chicago. That fateful hour found Truman emotionally disturbed, reluctant, to- tally unprepared. It has never been revealed, but Truman’s first inkling that Roose- velt wanted him came while he was sitting in his room at the Black- stone Hotel. The phone rang. Some- one answered it, told Truman that Hopkins was on the phone. “Hopkins!” he exclaimed, then remarked that it must be Hopkins, the hotel man in Kansas City. He strode to the phone, there was a moment of silence. It was the Harry Hopkins telling Truman that Rogsevelt. wanted him as his run- ning mate. Truman seemed dazed. But recovering, he said “Y “don’t ‘want the job. I don't think they're serious. I'll wait until I hear it from the Chief himself.” Late that night, with the con- ventions'on the verge of a three- cornered deadlock, Truman was again back in his room when he received another call—this time from the President. “Hello, Mr. President,” Truman said, “How are you?” ‘There was a pause “But - what should I do, Mr President? I don't quite know what to say,” were Truman’s next words. “Stay in there and pitch, Harry,” Roosevelt replied. “Everything's go- ing to be OK.” “OK,” answered Truman, say so.
