PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S
MEMORY
\ Many people were not aware
•rhat President Roosevelt possess
ed a memory so extraordinary as
to be phenomenal. It must have
been in the nature of what is
called a “photographic memory,”
which exceptional people like the
great conductor Toscanini possess
Mr. Toscanini never uses notes
while conducting a hundred piece
orchestra and knows when every
note of the piccolo or beat of the
drum is due.
Several members of the Roose
velt family have possessed this al
most unique trait to a remarkable
degree. Theodore Roosevelt Sr.
and Also Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.
were famous for it. There was a
story that President Theodore
Roosevelt, in the “round the world
trip” which he made after his last
Presidential term, was suddenly—
while in Hungary — confronted
with the necessity of making a re
ply speech. Taken by surprise he
stood for a moment searching his
mind for something to say, and
almost immediately his mind’s eye
visualized the pages of a history
of Hungary which he had been in
terested in while in college. The
story goes that he practically
read extracts from its pages to
his audience and appeared to
know more about Hungary than
did his native listeners. The late
General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.,
seldom forgot a name or an inci
nut rranklin Uelano Kooie
velt po**e**ed the trait to a
more itartling degree than
anyone whom the writer ha* ev
er come in contact with, or
heard of. If he met an old
old tchool friend whom he
had not teen for 30 year*, he
would recall the circumstan
ce* of their la*t meeting; and
often enjoyed itartling peo
ple with hi* feat* of memory.
He never forgot a name or a
face or the connection be
tween the two.
The President’s knowledge of
history was extensive an no de
detail, no matter how slight, ever
seemed to escape his fantastic
memory. The writed remembers a
discussion with him one time ov
er the number of guns carried by
the United States Frigate Consti
tution in its engagement with the
British frigate Guerriere in the
war of 1812. The writer having
perused the sub Sect of this battle,
was sure of his facts, and the
President was sure that the writ
ers estimate of the armament
was incorrect by the number of
two guns. Upon looking it up the
President’s count proved to be
correct—and the detail had prob
.ably not entered his mind for 20
Fjears.
'■ This outstanding characteristic
stood him in good stead all
through his political life. It was
difficult to resist a man—especial
ly if that man was the president
of the United States — when he
complimented you by recalling
some trifling incident in your past.
And far more important—a clear
mental picture of the past gave
the President a perspective from
which to grasp the meaning of the
present, and a firm foundation on
which to build for the future.
What a tragically unfortunate
moment in which to lost so great
a statesman and so human a lea
der!

After all the early speculation
over the future course of Presi
dent Harry S. Truman, it is be
coming clearer that the new chief
executive proposes to broadly fol
low the principles of foreign and
domestic policies laid down by
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Mr. Truman, himself, made
that clear in his first address to
Congress, in which he took a
strong position for an internation
al organization to preserve future
world peace, and pledged to con
tinue the liberalism marking pre
vious New Deal administrations.
Such a liberalism, however, was
expected to be tempered by a
friendlier attitude toward Capital,
particularly in the interpretation
of various government regulations
In any event, Mr. Truman’s em
barkation upon his new duties was
signified by a genuine desire to
work closely with both the house
and senate in shaping the nation’s
destiny, and congress’ quick re
sponse to this intention,
j Lacking Mr. Roosevelt’s dynam
l ic and forceful personality for ac
tually leading opinion, Mr. Tru
man could be expected to deal
with congress on a more coopera
tive basis. Furthermore, his own
service in the senate undoubtedly
makes him doubly appreciative of
the positions of the solons on
Capitol Hill.
At any rate, Mr. Truman’s as
cendancy to the Presidency indi
cates the closest relations between
the chief executive's office and
Congress since Pearl Harbor, and
also promises to lighten some of
the stiff opposition that was brew
ing to much of Mr. Roosevelt’s
peace program.
foreign affairs are commanding
more and more of the nation’s at
tention, though the matter of post
war domestic policy looms equally
important. In addressing congress
Mr. Truman devoted the major
portion of his speech to interna
tional relations, pointing up the
American position before the
eventful San Francisco confer
ence.
Having repeated the demands
for unconditional surrender, Mr.
Truman made this statement re
garding an international peace or
ganization :
“It is not enough to yearn
i for peace. We must work
! and, if necessary, tight for it.
The task of creating a sound
international organization is
complicated and difficult. Yet,
without such organization,
rights of man on earth can
not be protected. Machinery
for the just settlement of in
ternational differences must
be found. Without such ma
chinery the entire world will
| have to remain an armed
comp. The world will be
doomed to deadly-conflict, de
' void of hope for real peace.”
Although Mr. Truman’s posi
tion on other phases of the broad
international program developed
by Mr. Roosevelt to assure post
war stability has not as yet been
clarified. He also referred to the
necessity of helping stricken na
tions, and declared that increased
foreign trade was a requisite for
boosting our own production and
employment, and raising the liv
ing standard throughout the
In the matter of the controver
sial Bretton Woods agreements,
Mr. Truman is said to lean toward
the U. S. financial community’s
an v utaty ui an uncniauuimi uaitiv
for reconstruction and rehabilita
tion, hearing government guaran
tees of repayment, rather than
both such a bank and a separate
fund for stabilizing the values of
foreign currencies.
Referring to domestic issues in
his address before the congress
Mr. Truman said:
"Here in America, we have
labored long and hard to
achieve a social order worthy
of our great heritage. In our
time, tremendous progress has
been made toward a really
democratic way of life. Let
me assure the forward look
ing people of America that
there will be no relaxation in
our efforts to improve the lot
of the common man.'*
As a result of Mr. Truman’s
dedication to a contribution of
liberalism, along with the feeling
that he will possess a friendlier
attitude toward business, observ
ers looked forward to an effort to
bring the forces of both labor and
capital closer together for a more
harmouious working.
Of most immediate concern are
the problems of reconversion
from war to peacetime industry,
with the all-important question
of determining the amount and
extent following the downfall of
Germany. With the enactment of
such emergency legislation as un
employment insurance and old
pensions, and farm support prices
for two years after the war, Mr.
Truman’s hands will be freed to
ward the broader objective of a
planning for a full prosperity in
the post-war period.
Himself an artillery captain
during the last war, and as such 9>
practical soldier appreciating the
complex nature of warfare, Mr.
Truman is expected to give the
present chiefs of staff full rein in
■conducting the war.
Though the new President’s ca
reer as farmer, county official
and senator has not given him
broad executive experience, his
common sense and reliance upon
specialists for counsel are expec

BEHIND THE SCENES
By John Craddock
NEW YORK, April 23.— This1
bright new postwar world is going
to bring you some surprises. One
of these days a salesman will call
at your store, and give you a card
bearing a noted airplane compa
ny name. Then the salesman will
try to sell you on handling not
his airplane, but his line of optical
goods, or farm implements, or
household appliances. In other
words, an enormous number of
manufacturers are going to try to
do business in other people’s
green pastures.
The statistics of this invasion
of the other man's business are
impressive. Dunn & Bradstreet
Inc., has just finished a survey
of 22,314 companies. The survey
shows that 37 per cent of the
manufacturers and 44 per cent of
the wholesalers plan to make or
handle new products or lines. This
does not mean new products in
the sense of gadgets never before
made. Of course there will be
some wholly new items. But pri
marily it means that established
companies in one business will al
so try other men’s established
field. To illustrate: a shipbuilding
company plans also to make far
ming implements and building ma
terial products. A farm imple
ment company plans to manufac
ture plumbing and heating prod
ucts. And so on. And so on. The
postwar shoemaker apparently
wants more than one last.
SPICE TRADE — The world’s
spice trade, inactive for nearly 3
years and tea traffic from the ori
ent are steadily being revived ,as
Allied Air and Sea Forces contin
ue to mop up Jap and Nazi sub
marines and surface raiders. J. H.
Ungerland, head of spice opera
tions for the Great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company, says the
spice map, like the war map, in
cludes most of the world. “If
anything more convincing than
military communiques is needed
to point out the sweeping prog
ress of our armed forces, the revi
val of the spice trade can very
well serve the purpose,” he de
clares. The return of the tea trade
to near normalcy is best exempli
fied, says Joseph G. Vaskas, the
food chain’s tea purchasing agent
by the fact that war risk insur
ance rates on shipments from the
Far East,,quoted at one-third of
the total value of a cargo early in
1942, are now down to 2 per cent
Shortly after Pearl Harbor, sev
eral large shipments of both tea
and spices were lost to enemy ac
tion, and all sailings were forced
to take the long route around the
Otmo r.nnii Hone. Allied sue
cesses have finally cleared the
principal sea lanes through Sues
and the Mediterranean, a fact
which is particularly important
because most tea and spice ship
ments are ear-marked for Eastern
U. S. ports.
THINGS TO COME— Five mil
lion television sets within five
years after tjie war, says Financi
al World A new plasticizing pro
cess to transform ordinary sheep
pelts into luxury furs A cloth
buffer, motor driven, to dry-clean
eggs for market Continued big
buying of foreign commodities,
even after the fall of Germany.
A government order to industrial
alcohol makers to use corn in
stead of wheat, as wheat and flour
are neeedd for overseas relief.
JET PLANES—Few war devel
opments have created such public
interest as jet propulsion. Though
not many Americans have seen a
jet-propelled plane streaking
through the air, they all know the
aircraft industry is head-over
heels in a vital program. And they
all sense that perhaps the plane
of-the-future will be jet driven.
But jet engines produce a super
heat, a heat so intense few metals
can withstand it. Nickel, however
can. But nickel has always been a
war-critical item. Count this na
tion fortunate ten, that its metal
lurgists developed a process of ex
tracting nickel from low-grade
ore just when the supply became
most important to the jet pro
gram. When the foremost metal
lurgists of Germany, Japan, Eng
land and France failed, scients of
Freeport Sulphur company suc
ceeded. As a result, from hereto
fore worthless, low-grade ores of
Cuba will come this year 15 per
cent of the nation’s Vast nickel
needs. Thus the jet plane program
can be superimposed safely on the
other big nickel-devfouring ord
nance schedules. It will be the
first time in industrial history that
the U.S. has a good source of
supply other than Canada. Free

NAVY YARD, S. C., May 2.—
Rear Admiral Jules James, USN,
Commandant of the Sixth Naval
District, announces that the Navy
Mail Service and the Welfare Di
vision, Bureau of Naval Personnel
have established procedures for
the distribution to other service
men of certain undellverable ov
erseas packages.
Plans have been made in accor
dance with the Post Office De
partment’s instructions that pack
ages may be marked by the sen
der “Abandon if tJndeliverable,”
if the sender does not wish the
contents returned.
Packages may be classified as
undeliverable for one of three
reasons: (1) badly trapped artic
les found loose in the mails with
out any attached address; (2)
parcels to missing or deceased
personnel which does not bear a
return address; (3) parcels to
missing or deceased personnal
bearing the written or printed in
structions to abandon if undeliv
erable.
Welfare Officers will keep accu
rate records of the distribution
made of all packages. The sender
of packages endorsed “Abandon
if Undeliverable’’ will be inform
ed of the disposition made of the
articles they sent. If packages
with obliterated addresses are
found to have a return address
slip enclosed in the package, the
parcel will be returned to the
sender. And if the contents of
non-returnable packages are
found to be of personal or senti
mental value, such as pictures,
they will be destroyed.
