SEVEN YEARS OF TRUMAN
Harry S. Truman got jvorried about the verdict of
historians in his last days as President. He talked to
a number of reporters in an effort to get them to print
his side of the story. He made several speeches, de
livered one over television and radio and sent several
summary messages to Congress — over on Capitol Hill.
In all his writings and speaking, he struck the same
note: I have fought a courageous battle for the little
people and have fought Communism with determina
tion.
Truman also told reporters that critics always abuse
current Presidents, but that the final verdict as ev
aluated over the years—on Harry Truman will vindi
cate his acts as the Chief Executive. In his seven years
as President, he made many bitterly contested decisions.
No doubt he was the number one citizen of the coun
try in a turbulent era, when the balance between war
and peace was both delicate and deceptive.
When Franklin Roosevelt died, Truman was an
humble man, praying for guidance and awed by the re
sponsibilities facing him. He had not known FDR very
well, and had seen him only twice as Vice-President,
an office he had held only about two months. He had
been a good Senator, was voted by Washington report
ers as one of the best in Congress before winning the
Veep nomination in 1944. But he was unprepared for
the gigantic organization which dropped into his lap
when FDR suddenly passed away.
At first, he appointed a solid row of conservatives to
his Cabinet. The progressives in the Democratic party
resented this tendency to the right and Truman was un
popular with them for a time as a result. Nevertheless,
many of the conservatives stayed, despite later changes
in viewpoint on the part of Mr. Truman. Old friends,
like Secretary of the Treasury, Snyder, and Secretary of
Commerce Sawyer, remained on with Mr. Truman to
the end in apparent contradiction of some of his poli
cies.
Finally, Truman began to swing to the left. Some
conservatives broke with him. Byrnes, Norse, Byrd, and
others, left the field. By that time, Truman might have
been looking forward to the 1948 elections. By the time
they arrived he was an all-out left-winger. He became
the first President to claim that all segregation was
discrimination, thus became the champion civil Tighter,
and the bitter foe of the South in this field. He swung
further to the left after election. He favored the ad
mission of more displaced persons, more Point Four aid,
greater pay for labor, and bigger and bigger government
and benefit programs. His domestic policies, therefore,
varied. They were at first moderately conservative, and
labor became very liberal, or left-wing, as one might
prefer.
He ended his term as President trying to seize the
steel mills, give away the tidelands oil rights to the
Navy and trying to set a budget of some 78 or 79 billions
for 1953-1954. All were controversial and bitter issues.
They demonstrated the great strife which had marked
most of the Truman era — scandals, labor disputes,
and loyalty probes among the highlights.
But, in one field, he was largely successful. That
was in foreign policy. The Truman administration made
some mistakes but achieved more successes. The history
books will probably not do badly by Harry on foreign
policy despite all the criticisms, many of them ignorant
ones, and despite the Korean War.

Georgia Has Great
Potential For
Egg Production
ATHENS, Ga., — Georgia
has the greatest potential for
large-scale expansion of egg
production of any state in
the country, but its poultry
men must join hands, pool
their resources, and make for
themselves a market before
that potential will show up
in farm income gaines.
That is what Associate
Dean Paul W. Chapman of
the University of Georgia’s
College of Agriculture told
nearly 200 Georgia poultry
men attending a one-day
commercial egg production
short course on the campus
Wednesday.
“I never learned which
came firist,” he said, “the
chicken of the egg, but I do
know that a big, sound mar
ket for eggs must be estab
lished before very many eggs
are produced.”
Georgia can never become
an efficient state - - that
is, produce enough eggs to
supply the demands of the
state itself - - long as we de
pend on private peddling of
eggs to local markets, he
ponited out. Eggs must be
marketed by organized mar
kets which will be strong
enough to sell to the largest
retail chain groceries - -
stores which now bring in
most of their eggs from the
Midwest.
Dean Chapman added, how
ever, that not even a strong
market can sell a sorry egg.
High quality eggs must be the
goal of Georgia egg produc
ers. These eggs must be kept
in high quality condition by
the market that handles the
eggs. He pointed out that
summer heat is the greatest
enemy of high quality eggs.
The University dean added
that he believed a Georgia
egg marKet could sell all the
eggs Georgia poultrymen
could produce, not only sup
plying the needs of this state,
but the needs of some other
states as well.
The short course was spon
sored by the University’s
poultry division.
