Description
Chicago, Illinois. Former President Harry S. Truman, center, receives a warm welcome from delegates on his arrival at Chicago Stadium to address the second business session of American Legion's 40th annual national convention. "The danger we face today is a very real one," Truman declared, adding that the Soviet Union apparently is preparing for war. His views were the opposite of those expressed in a Legion talk yesterday by Defense Secretary Neil McElroy. From: Houston Post.
