HURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1946 White House Correspondent, Recently Here, Writes Highly Interesting Book In “Thank You, Mr. President”, ee THE KEY WEST CITIZEN tended by a number of non- members interested in the thea- tre. Of especial assistance to the j Play, group will be John Upton) of Wayland, Mass., whe took}; STRONG ARM BRAND COFFEE! the part of the attorney in “The | Night of January the 16th” in Merriman Smith, White House corespondent for the United} Press, has written a highly en- tertaining ‘and informative book. He not only gives a detailed| picture of the trials and tribula- tions of a White House reporter but describes that little-known side of Presidential life which concerns the exhaustive precau- | tions taken by the Secret Serv-| ice to protect the Chief, Execu-| tive. 3 } Those who like a flavor of mys- | tery in their reading will noj| doubt enjoy Smith’s description! of the specially trained young} men who are always within a few feet of the President, armed with .38 revolvers with’ which| they can shoot out your eye at 50 yards, (Revolvers are favored because they shoot a split second faster than automatics.) The book is especially timely for Key West readers in view of the recent visit here of both President Truman and Merriman Smith. He tends to become the life of the party whether he is entering the pressroom holding a five-pound barracuda by the tail or conversing with President Truman at a reception while holding a bourbon and soda. The wit and humor which char- acterizes much of “Thank You, Mr. President”, is no literary pose, Smith, a solidly built indi- vidual of medium height, wearing a@ small black moustache and aged somewhere between 30 and 45, is not only a crack reporter, an‘ observer of keen detail, but an inveterate jokester equalled by few of the correspondents corps. A non-partisan reporter, he cannot and does not delve into political pros and cons. He is about as objective as any man can be who has his own profes- sidn primarily at heart. Smith says outright that he believes Franklin D. Roosevelt was “a great man” yet he does not hes- itdte to become sharply ¢ critical} of some of the late president’s tactics. Smith looks at Mr. Tru- man with equal candor and leaves little doubt that he has | O thou the drink of gods and angels!
