TRUMAN'S TROUBLES Some people were of the opinion that Mrs. Roosevelt was unique in her tendency to get involved in Negro. controversies. However, Mrs. Truman, though First Lady for just three months, already has exper- ienced an off-the-record racial em-| barrassment.

But! not long ago, graclously made an with representatives of the All- American Newsreel Company of Chicago, a Negro organization, to enter the summer White House and! take pictures of Vietta Garr, the colored cook. They wanted shots of her working in the summer White House kitchen. | When this”leaked to local news- men, however, they put up such a wail that Fred Canfil, U. S. Marshal, appeared at the summer White House at 9 o'clock on the morning the pictures were to be taken, and had a talk with the First Lady In addition to being Federal official in those was President Truman’s in the last war, and a the fdmily.

The luxury liner Queen Mary, launched in 1934, was built to carry 2,100 passengers at a speed of about 32 knots. Her closest rival for speed was the Nor- mandie, but in August, 1938, she took the blue ribbon away from that ill-fated vessel. Normally she would have passed an uneventful life ticking off the sea miles between Bishop Rock and Ambrose Light. But ianother kind of destiny was in store for her-—one | which was to take her, as George Horne wrote in this | newspaper recently, “from the Clyde to Sydney, from | Halifax to the storm-racked Cape, to Singapore, Bom- \bay and Trincomalee.” Instead of 2,100 passengers Wve rise %o Prac- | yraveling in style, she carried loads of 15,000 or more That point |tyayeling to get where their services were urgently needed.

One hundred thousand | British soldiers, including 11,000 who arrived just in time to help hold the line at El Alamein, were trans- ported by the thrust of her 158,000 horsepower engines. Her captain for over three years has been Sir James Gordon Bisset, commodore of the Cunard White Star Line, whose age brought about his retirement from the British Naval Reserve twelve years ago. On Ithe quarterdeck of the Mary, however, he was hardly [in retirement. The most amazing feature of the ! story he told reporters was its lack of narrow escapes. | The Mary never saw a submarine, never fired her guns at a foe and was never fired upon. The Italians sank her once, but only on paper. The nearest she came to action was two years ago when a geyser spouted up 300 feet off her beam near the British Isles, but ng harm came to her, No one ever washed off her decks.

She is a modern vessel, complete with all the up-to-date gadgets, but we know that what took her through every danger was an old-fashioned thing— the heart of oak in captain and every member of the crew.
