Actually there seemed to be no solid answers to any of these questions. Truman hadn't drawn up any detailed blueprints for his "bold new program," or estimated the costs. Explained a White House adviser "The President was merely convinced that the idea was sound, just as President Roosevelt, before detailed plans were prepared, was convinced that we could produce 50,000 tanks and 60 million jobs."

For three years Delegate Roosevelt has tried her level best to get along with the Russians. Last week, in a speech at Washington, she conceded that it hadn't seemed to work.

For an hour after he got to Riviera, he sprayed balls from the practice tee-first with the No. 9 iron, then the No. 8 and on up the ladder to the woods. He considered the wind and terrain even in practice, controlled every shot as if the tournament had begun. He has a horror of what he calls the Sunday golfer...
