shop around a lot to get satis
factory men into other key

President Truman looked a long
time before he could find, a man
able and wining to take on the
thorny job of director of price
stabilization. Finally he signed up
the popular hard working young
mayor of Toledo, Ohio Michael
V. DiSalle.
"Mike," as his friends call him,
was grinning his customary big
grin when he recalled that Mr.
Truman had said he was looking
for a man with guts to be the price
administrator. He is a roly-poly
200 pounds, and only 5 feet, 6
inches tall.
"He's found him," Mike re
marked, pointing to his big bay
window.
Dl Salle's appointment brought
him a remarkable tribute a com
pliment from Senator Taft, who
seldom has a kind word for ad
ministration appointees. It came
with special grace because Di
Salle last summer tried to get
the Democratic nomination to
oppose Taft in the Senate race.
