KEY WEST, Fla. <A»>_A pep
pery Harry S. Truman, showing
flashes of his famous “give ’em
hell Harry” campaign form, came
out strongly in favor of President
Johnson Wednesday and predicted
he would easily win re-election
this fall.
“The Tegular Democrats will go
right down the line to re-elect
the President,” he said, “unless
some damn fool splits them.”
The 83-year-old former presi
dent sat in the shade of a date
palm with his back to the Atlan
tic Ocean as he fielded questions
in a rare news conference that
lasted 15 minutes.
He said the entrance of New
York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy
into the race for the Democratic
nomination “makes it easier for
Johnson. “He won’t take any
votes away from the President.”
TRUMAN, vacationing with his
wife and daughter Margaret’s
family in this historic seaport,
predicted Johnson would win
hands down. “There’s no doubt
about it. The Democratic party
is all right,” he said.
Truman said the candidacy of
Sen. Eugene McCarthy, D-Wis.,
“will split the anti-Johnson
strength up more for the benefit
of Johnson. The more they split
that vote the better it will be.”
Asked who he thought the Re
publican nominee would be, he
said he wasn’t interested in the
GOP and declined to speculate.
Looking fit, the 33rd president
characteristically interrupted a
questioner at one point to advise:
“Don’t say ‘if he’s nominated,’
Kill 111 VC’s
SAIGON (A*) — Troops of the
U.S. American Division reported
they killed 111 North Vietnamese
regulars in a battle today on the
northern coast at a cost of three
Americans wounded.
The U.S. Command said it had
only sketchy details, but the
North Vietnamese were over
taken 16 miles northwest of Chu
Lai, on the coast 330 miles north
of Saigon. They said the fighting
ended at dusk.
say ‘when he’s nominated’.”
Truman, who said he weighs
150 pounds, conceded he had lost
weight since leaving the White
House in 1952. “But I had it
coming,” he snapped. “I was fat.
Like all men in high places, I
ate too much.”
“I READ, I walk. I enjoy my
self,” he told reporters. “But I
knew damned well if I didn’t get
out of the way you would inter
cept me somehow.”
Truman was hatless and wore
a dark blue suit. He sat in a
leather chair with his walking
cane beside him. Behind him, on
the hotel’s seaside lawn, cavorted
his two eldest grandchildren,
Clifton Truman Daniel, 10, and
William Wallace Daniel, 8. His
wife, Bess, the Daniels and their
two younger children did not
attend the news conference.
Asked what political or philo
sophical advice he might give
President Johnson about his rat
ings in the polls—also a thorn in
Truman’s side before his upset
victory in 1948—Truman said,
“I didn’t pay any attention to
them. If I did I would have been
beaten.”
