investigation into the U.S. missile and satellite program, the
old Truman investigating committee held a reunion luncheon here.
The timing couldn't have been more appropriate.
• Harry Truman himself stopped off in Washington a few hours
to attend the affair. He was between making a speech in West
Virginia and guing to see his grandchild in New York.

. WHETHER THE coming rockcts and missile tnreitigation will do
the same for Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas, who will run the new
committee, will be something to watch out for.
I- As Sen. Joe O'Mahoney (D-Wyo.) put it, Truman's success with
his committee in 1941-44 lay in the fact that his policy was not
to run the war, but to soe that it was run efficiently, without waste
and without corruption.
Ex-Sen. Homer Ferguson (R-Mich.) now a judge of the court'
of military appeals, took it from there. As chairman of the com-
mittee, said Ferguson, Truman was always fair. Its reports were
always unanimous. The facts that it uncovered were always shown
to the agencies it investigated. Often policies were changed with-
out reports being issued.
John Collier, board chairman of Goodrich Rubber, speaking for
industry and John L. Lewis of United Mine Workers, speaking
for labor, piled on their tributes. Both had been witnesses before
the Truman committee in bitter battles over war production.
Now, 16 years later, they look back on the committee's work and
♦ake some credit for what they contributed to its record.
* ' v - ... M
THE CHALLENGE before the Johnson committee today is
Whether it will be able to look back 16 years from now and take
credit for its contribution to a successful rockets and missile pro-
gram. For there is little doubt this phase of the cold war in outer
space will last that long or longer, r
* Aside from this angle On the luncheon, it was entirely a social
reunion which Charles Patrick Clark, who was associate counsel
of the committee, arranged for about 50 guests. The list included
a dozen members of the Truman stair and as many newspapermen
who covered the hearings during the war.
* Mr. Truman was his custo iry, postpresidential, relaxed self,
enjoying life to the fullest. He makes a lot of speeches now—fur a
good fee, he says. Also he writes a column and complains in public
when editors cut his copy.
IT WAS EMBARRASSING, he said, to have all thoso nice things
said about him, because he couldn't possibly live up to them. He
only wished "the Boss"—which i_- what he calls Mrs. Truman-
had been there to hear what was said. •
Mr. Truman will be 74 next year. Ho said he hoped to live to'
be SO. His mother was 94 and his grandmother 91. He said he
considered running for the presidency again when he reached 9u.
But somebody looked it up anil found that it was impossible
because 1974 wasn't a presidential election year. •
The former president had had close relations with every ons
of the guests—ex-Secretary of Interior Oscar Chapman. Admiral
Jerry Land of Maritime Commission, former chief of protocol
Stanley Woodward, former Democratic National Committer Chaii-
msn Bill Boyle, from Truman's home town, who got his start as .•
Truman committee investigator. And others who were big shot-
around here in war times.
