ROZIER, Perryville * Honorary INTRODUCTORY NOTE This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Harry S. Truman. Born in Lamar, Missouri, on May 8, 1884, Truman became the thirty-third president of the United States. As a result of this achieve­ ment, he also became Missouri's most famous twentieth-century citizen. Since his years as president (1945-1953), Mr. Truman has been accorded "near great" status in terms of presidential performance by various polls and studies. He usually ranks behind Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Andrew Jackson. While future rankings may change, Mr. Truman should retain at least his "near great" status. In honor of Mr. Truman's 100th birthday anniversary, the State His­ torical Society is pleased to present contributions pertaining to his presi­ dential years in this issue of the MISSOURI HISTORICAL REVIEW. The reader will find an article about India Edwards, the executive director of the Women's Division of the Democratic National Committee; an edited and annotated account by Vic Housholder describing his visit with the president; and a photo-essay about Truman and Winston Church­ ill's visit to Fulton, Missouri, when the former British prime minister made his famous "iron curtain" speech. The editorial staff of the MISSOURI HISTORICAL REVIEW trusts that the readers will find the contributions interesting and informative—as well as a befitting tribute to Harry S. Truman. RICHARD S.

DAINS* INTRODUCTION In 1936, Mrs. John Findley Green established at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, a memorial honoring her husband to be known as the John Findley Green Foundation Lecture Series. The purpose was to bring to the college campus each year a man of international reputation to discuss economic, social or political problems of international concern. During the World War II years, the college had omitted the lecture, but in 1945 with the founding of the new United Nations, the world appeared to be striving for peace and prosperity. College president Dr. Franc L. McCluer began in the summer to think of a lecturer to resume the series next winter. He suddenly thought of Sir Winston Churchill, the famous British Prime Minister who *Mary K. Dains is an associate editor of the MISSOURI HISTORICAL REVIEW. 277 278 Missouri Historical Review had rallied England and the free world during the dark days of the war. Churchill had been defeated for reelection in a star­ tling election upset. McCluer consulted school officials and then approached Major General Harry H. Vaughan, Westminster College alumnus, who was President Harry S. Truman's military aid. Vaughan, con­ ferred with McCluer, liked the idea of a Churchill visit and wished to consult the president. With a typed invitation in hand, dated October 3, 1945, McCluer interviewed Truman in Washington, D. C. Truman heartily endorsed the proposal and wrote a postscript at the bottom of the invitation: "This is a wonderful school in my home state. Hope you can do it. I'll introduce you." On December 10, President Truman wrote McCluer that Churchill would be in Florida for complete rest for a month or more in February. He had accepted the invitation to lecture at Fulton. Soon the date was set for March 5, 1946. A pictorial essay of that historic event follows. Many of the photographs depicted on these pages are part of a large collection given to the State Historical Society by Gerald Massie, a profes­ sional photographer formerly with the Missouri Department of Resources and Development, Jefferson City. Other photographs were loaned for this article by Warren M. Hollrah, Museum Man­ ager and College Archivist Winston Churchill Memorial and Library (W. C. Mem. Lib.), Fulton, Missouri. W. C. Mem. Lib. Dr. Franc L. McCluer (left), president of Westminster College, had many details to work out before the Churchill-Truman visit— handling invitations, ticket sales and publicity, arrangements for press coverage, what to do with the influx of people, security for the distin­ guished guests, the parade route and agenda for the occasion. Joe B. Humphreys (center) served as special assistant to McCluer, and Neal S. Wood (right), chairman of the college board of trustees, helped with arrangements. W. C. Mem. Lib. W. C. Mem. Lib. The president and prime minister traveled by train from Washington, D. C, through St. Louis, to Jefferson City. A motorcade formed at the Jefferson City depot. The press and spectators waited in the capitol city for the distinguished guests. They arrived at 11:20 A.M., March 5, aboard the President's Special served by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Major General Harry Vaughan (behind the president) joined Truman and Church­ ill on the platform of the rear car. Mis­ souri Governor Phil M. Donnelly, College President McCluer and other dignitaries met the train and joined the motor­ cade to Fulton. The governor presented Churchill with a box of his favorite Ha­ vana cigars, and Truman received a hick­ ory-smoked country ham. W. C. Mem. Lib. On the lawn of the Callaway County courthouse, the Kem­ per Military Band from Boonville entertained the crowd at Ful­ ton, waiting the arrival of the noted guests.

Buenger May 2008 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT Truman, Congress and the Struggle for War and Peace in Korea. (May 2008) Larry Wayne Blomstedt, B.S., Texas State University; M.S., Texas A&M University-Kingsville Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Terry H. Anderson This dissertation analyzes the roles of the Harry Truman administration and Congress in directing American policy regarding the Korean conflict. Using evidence from primary sources such as Truman’s presidential papers, communications of White House staffers, and correspondence from State Department operatives and key congressional figures, this study suggests that the legislative branch had an important role in Korean policy. Congress sometimes affected the war by what it did and, at other times, by what it did not do. Several themes are addressed in this project. One is how Truman and the congressional Democrats failed each other during the war. The president did not dedicate adequate attention to congressional relations early in his term, and was slow to react to charges of corruption within his administration, weakening his party politically.

    First Ladies and American Women: Representation in the Modern Presidency

    First Ladies and American Women: Representation in the Modern Presidency Jill Abraham Hummer Winchester. Virginia Master of Arts. University of Virginia. 2003 Bachelor of Arts, Allegheny College. 2000 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Politics University of Virginia May 2007 11 -Abstract- This dissertation examines the American First Ladies' performanceas a representative from 1920 through the present. I argue that representing women has been one oftheir most important representative tasks. This project applies Hanna Fenichel Pitkin's concepts of representation to reach new conclusions about First Ladies' contributions to the presidency. Drawing on presidency research, as well as women and politics and gender studies literature, this project posits a developmental theory concerning the origin and evolution oftheir representative roles. The implications of their women-focused political representation are analyzed through the concepts oftransgendering and : -i regendering. First Ladies' performanceas a representative has been expressed through several concrete roles. Chapter One examines the work of candidates' wives in reaching out to women voters. Chapter Two focuseson First Ladies acting for women as public liaisons. Chapter Three considers First Ladies' attempts to integrate women into national economic policy and programs through their roles as homemakers and consumers. Chapter Four evaluates First Ladies' lobbying and educative effortson behalf of the Equal Rights Amendment. And Chapter Five analyzes First Ladies' performanceas public diplomats to women abroad. Evidentiary support for this dissertation comes mainly fromprimary source materials contained within presidential library archives around the country. 111 -Table of Contents- Acknowledgments................................................
