Truman’s Request for
His Own Epitaph:
‘He Done His Damnedest’
LONDON, (*P>—Harry Truman
visited the tombs of Britain’s great
yesterday and said he wanted a
short epitaph on his own grave.
“Yes, sir,” he remarked to re-1
porters, “I want them to put on
mine, ‘He done his damnedest’.”
Touring through St. Paul’s
Cathedral and Westminster Ab
bey, the former U.S. President
visited the tombs of the Duke of
Wellington, Adm. Lord Nelson*!
Charles Dickens, Prime Minister i
Gladstone, and others.
At the historic abbey, Truman
stared down at the cold, stone i
floor and commented:
“Frankly, I’d rather be under I
the ground than under a stone
floor like this. It would be a lot
easier to get out when the great
horn blows.”
Truman started his day with a
walk along the River Thames
j during which not a Londoner rec
ognized him.
) “It’s inevitable,” he laughed,
i “They’re just forgeting me, I sup
j pose.”
The person who is looking for
a golden opportunity must get off
• the beaten path.

Living Costs Rise to
Equal All-Time Peak
WASHINGTON, <*)—Living costs
rose sharply in May, sending the
government’s index to a level
equalling the all-time peak of
October 1953.
The Labor Department’s Bu
reau of Statistics said the index
rose four tenths of one percent to
115.4 percent of the 1947-49 base
Food prices in May registered
their greatest increase for any
month since June 1953, rising 1.3
percent. However, food is still
slightly below last year’s level.
Labor Department officials, who
called the May living cost jump
“unexpectedly large,” said food
prices probably will go higher
auring the summer months until
fall harvests come in.

Gen. Twining Sees
New Supersonic
Russian Bomber
By VERN HAUGLAND
MOSCOW, W— General Nathan
Twining, U.S. Air Force chief of
staff, has been given a look* at a
new Soviet bomber the Russians
say can fly faster than sound.
The U.S. Air Force does not yet
have such a supersonic bomber.
The speed of sound varies from
760 miles at sea level to about 663
miles an hour at altitudes above
35,000 feet.
Twining said the new craft was
a twin-engine, light attack bomb
er. He thought it probably was a
bit smaller than Britain’s B-57
Canberra jet bomber, but British
visitors said it looked a little big
ger than the Canberra.
The foreign military men were
told the new bomber had never
been shown before. It was not in
the annual Soviet air show Sun
day for which Twining came to
Russia.
The visiting officers toured the
Kubinka air base in Jeeps, mak
ing only one stop while viewing
more than 100 planes. ^
The stop came when Twining
was invited to make a close in
spection of the new TU-104 jet
transport. The U.S. officer was
the only member of the party in
vited to enter the plane.
He said the transport appeared
to have the general design and
wings of a Badget jet transport,
but still was a new plane.
