Description
Former President Harry S. Truman (left) has a warm handshake for Strom Thurmond, former governor of South Carolina and Dixiecrat candidate for President in 1948, as the two met in a receiving line at the Reserve Officer's Association convention dinner in Philadelphia tonight. When questioned later on what words passed between them, Thurmond said it was just a "greeting of one reserve officer to another." Both Truman and Thurmond are colonels in the U.S. Army. In center is Capt. Robert G. Burke, USNR, national president of the Reserve Officer's Association. From: Houston Post.
