WHAT MADE THE U.S. GREAT 8 < President Harry S, Truman's first (and last) full term in the White House was an eventful four years, Former President Herbert Hoover's commissions on organization of the. s executive branch turned in admir‘able reports, beginning Feb, 7, 1949. North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato) against Comdudes teesias to Western Europe came into being in 1949. On Feb, 26, 1951, the Constitution's 224 Amendment: took effect. It denied any President after Truman more than two White House terms — a verdict by the American people on their experiences with four-termer F. D. Roosevelt. U.S. population passed the 150 million mark in 1950. Gross national product hit new highs in the Truman years, as did prises wages, under an administration which leaned . heavily toward organized labor for political reasons. “Most of organized labor's leaders hated Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio; 1889-1953) for. his part in getting the Taft-Hartley Labor Relations Act on the federal statute books in 1947. But labor leaders ganging up on the senator to throw him out of public life failed laughably. The most important Truman-period events had to do with Communism — in the United States and in the Far East. The Case of Alger Hiss At home, Alger ‘Hiss (1904York City on Jan, 21, 1950, of having perjured himself when he denied that, while an employe of the U.S, State Department, he had passed government secrets to a Communist courier, The courier was Whittaker Chambers (1901-61), a longtime American Red whoat last became disgusted with communism and ‘came back to the U.S. side in the cold war then going hot and heavy between the United States and Soviet Russia. Hiss served five years in a federal jail. His case gave Americans a glimpse of the Red spy networks operating in the U.S.A. (as everywhere else in the free world), and some Americans took the lesson seriously. The other big Communist-related event in the Truman period was the Korean war which began June 25, 1950, with an invasion by North Korean Reds of South Korea. Invitation TolInvasion This onslaught was provoked in a major dcGélane patie speech delivered in Washington on Jan. 12, 1950, by. the then secretary of state, Dean Acheson. The chief feature -of the Acheson a, was the drawing of a U. S, defense frontier, or perimeter, in the far Pacific. Korea and Taiwan (Formosa) were outside that line — that the Truman administration did not intend to defend them against attack. Mainland China -hadbeen grabbed .by the Reds in‘ 1949, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and his Nationalists had fled to Taiwan. The tragedy came about partly because the Reds had friends in the U.S, State Department. _ It was not surprising that Soviet Russia and Red China decided to accept Acheson's virtual invitation to. invade South Korea. They used North Korean soldiers at first, then Chinese Red “volunteers,"" At the outset, President Truman had some fast second thoughts. Soviet Russia was boycotting the UN Security Council, so that the President was able to push through that body a resolution for armed intervention in Korea, Truman was talked by faint-hearts in the UN and the U.S, government: out-of allowing MacArthur to win the war.
