Description
Former President Harry S. Truman and Missouri Governor James T. Blair smoke pipes as they attend a "Missouri Ham Breakfast" at the Waldorf-Astoria early April 20. Blair told reporters he has been talking to Truman "for a long time: about his hope to win the Democratic Presidential nomination for Missouri's Senator Stuart Symington. Blair conceded he was "rather suspicious of how Mr. Truman feels" about the nomination, "but he hasn't declared what he's going to do publicly." Truman said the purpose of the "Missouri Ham Breakfast" was to get Missourians who maintain homes both in Missouri and New York to come back to Missouri and register as Democrats.
