President Truman Standing Outside the White House

An informal portrait of President Harry S. Truman standing outside the White House, smiling. Military Aide General Harry Vaughan can be seen over Mr. Truman's shoulder. Note the pick lapel pin. This represents a miner's pick. It is a pin worn by the members of an informal, unofficial group known at the "Hard Rock Club," the members of which are mostly newspaper men who covered the 1944 campaign after which Mr. Truman was elected Vice President.
