Description
President Harry S. Truman and First Lady Bess Truman are in a car returning from a whistlestop tour of four east-central states. They are outside Union Station in Washington, D. C. They were met by about 2,000 people. The President said: "I'm always happy to go to a party, particularly when it's for me." He drew applause when he said that "once in a while I've polished a little brass but sometimes it needs polishing." From: Houston Post.
