Description
This is a photograph of a political cartoon by Jim Berryman for the Washington Evening Star, originally published in 1944. Senator Harry S. Truman holds a document which reads "Army wastes skills of 90% of draftees. He is looking at a man holding a carpetbag labeled "late summer session." The man tells Truman, "The army's a piker, Senator... looks like I'm going to be wasting 100% of my skill for awhile!" They are standing next to a board labeled "Truman Committee Reports". The man is holding a paper labeled "Congressional Calendar" reading "No business in sight" and "waiting for reconversion bills."
