UNABLE TO PROVE HIS INNOCENCE , WHATCAN M4TT 00 2? By ERNEST B. VACCARO INDEPENDENCE, Mo. ® — Harry S. Truman, welcomed home in roaring receptions that moved him to the verge of tears, began looking for work Thurs. lest idle- ness lead him into “devilment.” After nearly eight turbulent years: and unprecedented responsi- bilities at a time of world crisis, he suddenly found himself with nothing to do but unpack and find a job. Harry Truman, ex-President of the United States, is a restless man who has been working 17 hours a day at the White House in Washington, and he’s already worrying how long he can “take it easy.” “It’s not‘ hard work that gets a man into trouble,” he told report- ers. “It’s the lack of it. When a fellow has nothing to do he gets into devilment.” Offers of high-paying jobs con- tinued to pour in from all parts of the country but he withheld any acceptances until he can find some- thing to his liking and suitable to his talents. He already has rented a private office in the Federal Reserve Bank Building in nearby Kansas City and put Miss Rose Conway, his personal stenographer, to work on his mail. The ex-President and Mrs. Tru- man, happy to be home again, stepped from the presidential pri- vate car Wed. night to find a crowd estimated at 10,000 gathered around the little depot to give them an emotional greeting. Truman choked up as he gazed at the assembled thousands, some of whom had been waiting for hours. “I appreciate this reception,” he told them. “It’s magnificent. There’s not any more I can say except that we are back home for Another throng of 1,500 waited in the street when the Trumans drove up to their big, white frame home on North Delaware, and there were more cheers and de- mands for a speech. Truman was deeply touched at the depot when Mayor Robert Weatherford Jr. told him, ‘You'll always be Mr. President to us.” “I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this reception,” he said, his voice breaking. “I never ex- pected anything like this. There- fore, it is closer to my heart.” But his inevitable humor came to his rescue. “I am in the army of the un- employed,” he said. And then, talk- ing again like the Democratic campaigner of “give ‘em hell” fame who credits the employment situation to party policies, he couldn’t resist adding, “but it is a’ very small army.” , He said Mrs. Truman had ap- Pointed him the “official unpack- er” of the “goods and chattels” and he had to get that joi: done. After that, he said with a grin, he'll be ‘‘out of a job” and “open to dinner invitations” to keep from “going hungry.” Truman’s big ambition is to lec- ture to high school and college students on the United Nations and the necessity for preserving the Peace in an atomic age, and to convince them that the future will be one of wonderful advancement once atomic energy can be de- voted entirely to peaceful pur- Poses. He wants to travel abroad, but those plans haven't jelled. He also wants to see constructed on the family farm at nearby Grandview a 1% million dollar cultural center to house his presidential papers and provide a place for student research in music, the arts, history and government. Fund raising for th’ project has already been start- ed by a group of his close friends. Margaret, the Truman daughter, didn’t come to Missouri with hei parents. She had to go to New York to keep an entertainment engage- ment. f “She had to go to work,” Truman explained ‘o trainside crowds en route. “She is the only one in the family with a job.” LIFE RETURNS TO MAN “DEAD” FOR 10 HOURS JERUSALEM #—Life returned here Wednesday to a man who had been officially pronounced dead for 10 hours and was being prepared for burial While the body of Khalil Krishan, 40, was veing washed with hot water.in accordance with Moslem religious tradition, one of the fam- THE CISCO KID Chapter 14 sabe tidied the desk, keeping the few papers she thought he should read and attend to, put- ting the rest in the wastepapeg basket, She came upon an odd photograph in a pigeonhole. A sandy beach and sunshine; Bian- ca, much younger, still dark- haired, and a long lanky school- boy in a striped sweat-shirt. Joe. She smiled with a swift tender- ness, The boy in the picture had the unfledged look of youth. He had the sensitive, searching eyes, but none of the poise, the gaiety, the controlled power of the Joe she knew. There was also a young child, a little girl, fair-haired, and exquisitely beautiful. She turned the picture over and read, “Me, Bianca _and Gina. Long Beach, 1936.” She supposed this was Bi- anca’s daughter. About four then? She must be twenty now. Still in a convent? Surely not. She shrugged, and put the photograph back in the pigeonhole, picked up the wastepaper basket and went out with it to the kitchen. “T’ve finished, Bianca,” she said. “The letters are upstairs. I’ve tidied the desk, and sorted it out. This is all waste Pree: I'm going home now. If Mr. Carlotti wants me, I shall be next door.” them?” she asked, and she gave a@ vague indicative jerk with her head, as though Joe and his father were still in the house. “Yes. I hope so,” Anthea said cautiously. “I'm almost -certain I'm starting here next week.” “You're crazy over Mr. Joe, yes?” Anthea did not answer. Instead she said, “Are thee trying to warn me off? To tell me he’s not the marrying kind? That’s the sort of thing my mother says.” Bianca's head turned sharply as though in surprise, “Your mother knows this very well,” she nodded. “That’s-a just what I do “You going to France with | By Mary Howard “}mean. You remember what I say. Don't come to France.” R “Don’t worry about me, Bian- ca,” she said dryly. “I'll keep my mind on my work. No one can say I haven't been warned! Bianca’s eyes flashed. “You think it’s-a funny? One day you'll find love is not so funny. Like your mother.” “Like my mother?” Anthea re- peated incredulously. “What do you mean?” She had the sige | from Bianea’s look that she ha said something she regretted. “Not like your mother,” Bianca said threateningly, “but like your mother said.” Arfthea sighed. She seemed to have entered some strange and unexpected cross-currents. Te weeks went by in a hurry of uncertainty and indecision. Anthea finished: working at Con- solidated, doing Mario’s work in the evenings for the rest of the week, and on the following Mon- day started to do a full day's work as his secretary. The job covered a great deal more than she had ever dreamed. Apart from a voluminous corréspond- ence, making appointments, and more difficult, seeing he kept them, she had to travel with him to the studio, sitting beside him while he interviewed girls for the part of Pierette, ‘ing notes about them. The compa was using three of their best known male stars for the men’s but they had conceded to Mario the right to choose an unknown for Pierette. They trusted his judg- ment and instinct. But time was passing, and time meant money. The three masculine leads had other commitments. The company was getting restless, but still Ma- rio had not found his Pierette.

Mute Evidence Of Woodland Battle FAIRBANKS, Alaska ) — The body of a 70-year-old miner, a dead cow moose and an empty, broken rifle were found on a lonely trail 15 miles north of here Wednesday, mute evidence oz a oitter wood- land battle.
