Though a recount was under way this week, Democrat Robert Tiernan had apparently held the district for his party.

From Detroit, Eleanor Roosevelt declared that "the character of my friend was proved on that terrible day [when F.D.R. died] . . . Later I thrilled to watch him grow to greatness." Monsignor L. Curtis Tiernan, chaplain of Artillery Captain Truman's regiment in France in World War I, told how Harry had averted panic, when his men were caught in crossfire, with some "good, plain Missouri talk." Had the chaplain rebuked Harry for his ear-scorching remarks? Replied Tiernan: "Oh, hell no!-sorry...
