Guffey confident of new President
WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Joseph F. Guffey (D-Pennsylvania), who organized Pennsylvania Democrats in support of President Roosevelt’s first presidential nomination in 1932 and took rank as “Pennsylvania’s No. 1 New Dealer,” said today President Harry S. Truman will “carry forward the Roosevelt policy, both domestic and foreign.”
“In the death of President Roosevelt, mankind has lost its truest friend,” Mr. Guffey added. “The nation and the world are eternally enriched by the life of Franklin Roosevelt.”
“He died on the eve of his greatest triumph, for it is unthinkable that the San Francisco conference will end in anything but success. That should be his greatest and lasting monument.
“It is a great satisfaction to know that our new president, Harry Truman, is so fully equipped for the heavy duties that have so suddenly come upon him, and it is reassurance for the world that he will carry forward the Roosevelt policy, both domestic and foreign.
“I am confident President Truman will have the support of every loyal American,” Sen. Guffey concluded.
