Stimson said the Burma cam paign, culminating in (he capture of , Myitkina, . was "m triumphant Indication of Stilwell's courage and sagacity." He noted in a report re-port that Maj. Gen.

Biggest Little Man In the World Refuses to Wear Cap Of Trainmen; Says People Might Think He Was Campaigning By HARM AN W. NICHOLS United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, ApriH5 (U.R There stood the biggest little man in the world. In a trim, light gray worsted with a white hanky peeking out of his upper coat pocket. All this, topped by a sloppy hat. , All smUes, too. Until a bright young man handed him a railroad engineer's cap that looked something some-thing like a cross between a chef's bonnet, a' caboose and a dinosaur track. "Put 'er on, Mr. President and stand up for the picture men," begged the lad. "Stand' beside Rotary Convention Slated for Boise BOISE, April 14 (U.R) The annual an-nual Utah-Idaho district meeting meet-ing of Rotary International to be held here Sunday through Tuesday Tues-day will attract 600 representatives representa-tives from 36 clubs, District President Theo H.

A new district governor will be elected, and will be formally installed at the Rotary International Interna-tional convention in Rio De Jan-erio Jan-erio in May. this train." i The president of the United States: let out an unpresldentlal ughhhhh! He fiddled with the cap with one, hand while holding off the lensanen of the press with the other. The bonnet dropped unbecomingly unbe-comingly over his ears and almost knocked off his eye glasses. "We've got a lot of engineers In this country," said Mr. Truman. "They all vote. If I wore this hat in a picture, people would think" Id started to campaign for the engineer ballot." All of this happened on a dark, threatening day on the White House lawn. A few minutes before, be-fore, a railroad train had chugged up Pennsylvania avenue to call on the head man id his own front yard. The train,' on automobile wheels, was a replica of the tiny "Pioneer" which launched Chicago's Chi-cago's rise as the rail capital of the world 100 years ago. It was a stunt to point up Chicago's Chi-cago's railroad fair to be held in windy town this summer. , Mr. Truman indicated he'd love to drop around to see the show if something like a political campaign cam-paign didn't come up to take him elsewhere. The promotion people behind the dawn party at the White House yesterday didn't miss any fancy tricks. Piloting the carbon copy of Chicago's; first iron horse and passenger coach through tha streets of the capital was a crew from Chicago's first railroad the Chicago and Northwestern. They were dolled up in the costumes of 1848. C. A. Miller sat in as conductor, Jack Weiderecht was the engineer. And Norma Sykes played like she was a typical typi-cal passenger of the day. They all looked the part, too. 5 Mr. Truman showed the railroad rail-road people and the boys in the press row that he knows tome-thing tome-thing about railroad terms. Somebody made a remark about the cow-catcher. f There isn't any such thing as a cow-catcher, said the president. He said if you look it up, -you'll find it's called a "pilot." Well, we called a Miss Elizabeth Eliza-beth Cullen, the librarian for the Association of American Railroads, Rail-roads, she read it right out of the book. The president was right. And a lot of railroad men who had -come along to the White House lawn to get their pitchers snapped ought to be Wearing red faces. Me. I'm wearing a hand-me-down hat. The engineers cap Mr. Truman .didn't like. Fits me fine, too. MaybeMacArthur Can Stay in Japan TOKYO, April 15. (U.R) Japanese Jap-anese and Americans here evinced evinc-ed little surprise today as returns from the Nebraska primary showed Gen. Douglas MacArthur runnir?jfifth. The feverish atmosphere which pervaded occupation headquarters, headquar-ters, officers clubs and billets during the Wisconsin test a week ago were noticeably lacking here today. "We were surprised at the Wisconsin Wis-consin "results," one Japanese editor said. "But not any more. We are hoping this means he (MacArthur) won't go home in May." You'll Feel Like a Million!
