Page 2 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Thursdey, February 19, 1953. Truman Gives Answer To Philly Lawyer: PHILADELPHIA (# — Former President Harry S. Truman, with Pen in hand and tongue in cheek, said today he isn’t sure whether he got paid for a full day last Jan. 20—when he turned over his office at noon to President Eisen- hower. The former Chief Executive’s laiest excursion down the byways of the public post involves a “Philadelphia lawyer” and a chird person to be known only as ‘‘Con- stant Reader.’’. The “Philadelphia lewyer”. is a columnist for the Philadelphia Bul- letin. Under that byline—his actual name is cloaked in literary ano- nymity—he discusses and answers legal questions submitted by his | readers. Recently the “Philadelphia law- yer” received a letter in which “Contant Reader” wrote: “According to the Constitution, President Truman’s term ended at Boon on Jan 20 and he went off the U. S. payroll then. President Eisenhower's term commenced in the middle of the day and he went on the payroll as soon as he took the oath of office. “With the President’s salary at $100,000 a year, a day’s pay or even a half day’s pay, amounts to a considerable sum. Now, which one of the two got paid for Jan. 20, or were both paid for the day? Or did Truman get paid for half the day and Eisenhower for tke other PIANISTS WHITTEMORE (Continued from Page One) week in three separate shows.

Can you what?” “A puzzler,” commented the Philadelphia lawyer in today’s column, Fast calculation, he added, re- veals that the President of the U. S. is paid at the daily rate of $274 (before taxes, of course )—so that if either the outgoing Chief tell me who got ; Executive or his successor was paid for the full day, he was over- compensated in the amount of $137. The Bulletin columnist ,decided there were only two men c lete- ly competent to Devide a swer. One, he realized, was far too busy taking up the reins of government, so he wrote to the “First Citizen of Independence, Mo.” and put the problem squarely in his lap. In due course, there arrived a letter dated Feb, 11 and bearing this letterhead: “Harry S. Truman, Federal Re- serve Bank Building, Kansas City 6, Missouri.” “Dear Philadelphia I.wyer,” Mr. Truman wrote: “In reply to yours of January twenty-eighth, I am not able to answer your question. “Tt looks to me ike a ‘Philadel- phia lawyer’ ought to be able to figure it out. It is more than I can do because I have never had an occasion to do it. I merely ac- cepted the check the secretary of the Treasury sent me, hoping the ; government would remain solvent jlong enough for me to cash it. “Sincerely. yours, “Harry S. Truman.” STOLEN BOAT (Continued from Page One) quietly “gumshoed” as he said around Key West, picking up ru- mors and clues as to the possible thieves. It was after this tqur that he called Miami headquarters and asked them to alert Cuban offi- cials immediately. : The theft of the Ramos was the first of its kind recorded here re- cently. Owner Fraatz said that the ‘apprehension of the thieves will be a warning to aii potential ones that the infant shrimp industry is protected by the full strength of the law. .
