    HARRY S TRUMAN INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI April 30, 1969 Dear Senator Inouye:: I wish that it had been possible for me to accept * the invitation to attend the Democratic Congress - ional Dinner on May 12th, but the doctors said "no". You are meeting at a time when the Democratic Party on many levels and in many parts of the country seems to have wandered off its course. Our Party, as the majority representative party of the nation, must never go back on its historic commitment to improve the lot of the common man and restore dignity and total freedom and security to the forgotten man. And I would urge those among us, who tend to be overzealous, not to impede our progress and stop brooding lest we incur further erosion of voter confidence. Sincerely yours, Honorable Daniel K.

White, who began his journalism career delivering the Boston Post, entered Har- vard College in 1932 on a newsboy’s schol- arship. He studied Chinese history and Oriental languages. In 1939, he witnessed the bombing of Peking while freelance reporting on a Sheldon Fellowship, and later explained, “Three thousand human beings died; once I’d seen that I knew I wasn’t going home to be a professor.” During the war, White covered East Asia for Time and returned to write Thunder Out of China, a controversial critique of the American-supported Nationalist Chinese government. For the next two decades, he contributed to numerous periodicals and magazines, published two books on the Sec- ond World War and even wrote fiction.
