"Just One More"

It was picture week at the White House. Harry Truman saw and heard himself in newsreels taken during his trip to Rio, re-enjoyed the horseplay of his Equator crossing. After lunch each day, the President watched a few innings of the World Series games on a White House television set, but never sat through to the last innings. Cinemactor Edward Arnold dropped in and gave him a fat set of pictures of U.S. Presidents, including his own.*

Then 75 White House news photographers bobbed up on the south grounds and Harry Truman went out to see what it was all about. They gave him a movie camera and a still camera. He promptly took pictures of them, turned on them their own refrain: "Just one more, please."

Last week the President also:

P: Received a report from his Scientific Research Board, recommending a thorough reshuffling of administration of the Government's scientific research and development activities.

P: In a surprise ceremony, presented to Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson the Medal for Merit for his wartime work as chief of OWMR.

*Thus the President and his aides let the White House be used for pressagentry. Actor Arnold has the lead in a radio program on which, each week, he impersonates a different President.
