...visit in Missouri (where his candidate for Congress ran last in a field of four), Harry Truman threw a chicken dinner at the White House for all living ex-chairmen of the Democratic Party. Jim Farley could not make it; he was en route to Europe. Neither could John J. Raskob, who had already predicted victory for Tom Dewey.
