Eisenhower looked grave and perhaps a little strained, in con trast to his usual bouncy manner, when he met with 175. newsmen who —as he well knew from a staff briefing beforehand—were bursting with questions about the White case. And about that case the Presi dent volunteered no comments.

World at A Glance Truman House's NEW YORK, Nov. 11 (VP) —A visitor reported today that Harry S. Truman remarked in a light vein that he’ll answer his historic subpoena from the House Un-American Activities Committee. “They better be there on time because I will,” the former dent was quoted by Harry Hershfield, a humorist. ’ However, Truman kept mum on whether he’ll submit to con gressional questions about the Harry Dexter White case. So far as records show, the summons for Friday is the first of its kind ever served on an ex-President of the United States. At one point during a leisurely day, Truman made an apparent reference to his Republican critics as “snollygosters”—which he de fined as men “born out of wed lock.” Hershfield said he and Truman exchanged banter about the sub poena when he visited the former President’s hotel suite. Truman’s remark that he’ll be there on time was tossed off lightly, Hershfield emphasized. The humorist said Truman re ceived “over 1000 telegrams urg ing him to go down there and fight.” In the light of Hershfield’s statement, reporters asked Tru man’s press aide, Matthew Con nelly, if it could be assumed the ex-President really intends to go to . Washington Friday in answer to the subpoena. “I’m afraid there will still be no comment on that,” Connelly replied. Earlier, Truman listened to a barrage of questions from news men as to whether he’ll appear before the House investigators. Nationally Famous ARROW Shirts Ties Underwear May he purchased at "TAT T.
