but when adam clayton powell took on bess truman, harry truman just cut him off. >> guest: yes. well, adam clayton powell, of course, was a very famous congressman from harlem, a very powerful figure in congress because of his longevity there. but truman initially was sort of ambivalent about powell, but then there was a case where, as you say, there was an incident where powell's wife felt shunned and snubbed by the white house. and it was blamed within the powell family on bess truman. so then powell made a public comment that bess truman should not be seen as the first lady, but the last lady. [laughter] then harry was furious. whenever it was his own family, maybe he would overreact, or he just couldn't contain himself. and then he kept powell at a distance, didn't invite him to social events for the rest of his presidency. but it was that oscillation, but some of the other presidents were more willing to do that, especially as we get to more recent times.

of course, truman was not going to have anything to do with that. donovan said some mean things about german of the presidential campaign trail. wind like eisenhower came and he answered it lobbied to making head of cia. instead, eisenhower gave the job to allen dulles which left dahlin -- donovan very bitter. donovan always thought that tebow support manager and that he would have been better as cia director. instead, eisenhower made donovan ambassador to thailand, lightly as a consolation prize. with that, a big owl ended there. if you have any questions about what donovan did after the war, a legacy of his organization. >> is it true that donovan handed over to the mkvdr had handed over to soviet intelligence a list of agents of a lesser us in eastern europe? >> i'm not -- >> agents or assets. >> it is a look complicated. donovan proposed in the winter of 1943 to set up a liaison arrangement with the and kgb. he flew to moscow to try and set that up. he thought he had risen no on board with it. the joint chiefs were pretty much on board with the.

you told me stories about truman, loyalty to his family when his daughter attended a concert and that hand from one of the washington papers he brought back a letter saying how angry he was but then adam clayton powell took on truman, harry truman just cut him off. >> guest: he of course was a very famous congressman from harlem, very powerful sugar in congress because of his longevity, but truman initially was sort of ambivalence about powell but then there was a case where as you say, there was an incident where his wife felt shunned and snubbed by the white house and was blamed within the powell family on truman so then how will make it public comment that she shouldn't be seen as the first lady but the last leedy. whatever was his own family maybe he would overreact or he just couldn't contain himself and then he kept the wall at a distance, didn't invite him and social events for the rest of his presidency that was that notion as you say the oscillation, but somehow or other presidents were more willing to do that especially as we get into the more recent times. >> host: franklin

one of the interesting anecdotes you shared with harry truman is the conflict he had with adam bell. stores about truman's loyalty to his family when his daughter did a concert and got a pantomime the washington papers. he wrote back a letter saying how angry he was, but when adam clayton powell took on best truman, harry truman just cut him off. >> guest: powell of course with a very famous congressman from harlem, very powerful figure in congress because of his longevity there. but truman initially was sort of ambivalent about how the thing is a case case where as you say, there was an incident where powell's wife felt shunned and snubbed by the white house and was blamed within the powell family on bess to be so powell made a public comment at bess should not be seen as a first lady but the lastly. then harry was furious. whenever it was his own family maybe he would overreact or he couldn't contain himself. and he kept out at a distance. didn't invite him to social event for the rest of his presidency but it was that notion, that oscillation. but somehow other presidents were mor

you mentioned may be eisenhower what about missives truman? think of those three immediate predecessors. when they left office they were in their sixties. jacqueline kennedy was 31. there had not been young children since the teddy roosevelt era of the early 1900's and they were not as young as caroline who was only three years old and john, jr. was just born between the election and inauguration. the first time that has ever happened to. this picture was taken 1962 per continue imagine mamie eisenhower or bess truman on a horse? i cannot because like my own grandmothers who were of that generation, i never saw my grandmother's their trousers. they always wore dresses. just to see a first lady in writing clothes and to be athletic she was a wonderful equestrian. to be horseback was different. this horse was given to her by the president of pakistan when she made a trip there in 1962. it was mia officials to go there and india. she was a huge hit there. and many plutocrats uc of her there from that time at the white house and on her farm near s

. >> reporter: truman burnett says his dream home in rural pennsylvania was destroyed by a spill at a nearby gas well, killing everything in this pond. >> the fish were dead within two weeks. there were bass, frogs, turtles. we had two nests of wood ducks, my wife's favorite animal. but they're all gone now. >> reporter: they're all dead? >> yes. >> reporter: and we've learned no one in the government knows just how many industry incidents there are. >> if you don't even know how many releases are occurring, if you don't even know what the overall consequences are, you can not answer the question: whether or not we are safe or not? >> reporter: so we collected reported incidents at wells and pipelines from three federal agencies and 23 of the 33 oil and gas producing states and here's what we found for just 2010. not counting the b.p. disaster, at least 6,500 spills, leaks, fires, or explosions nationwide. that's 18 a day. overall, at least 34 million gallons of crude oil and other potentially toxic chemicals spilled. that's triple the size of the 1989 exxon "valdez" spill. and while

eavesdropping but the truth so is very good credentials the only problem is that the way you harry truman and this year was to have one. lease where the president could go and he could say look mr director or mr rector please tell me which you really think what you in those two universities worth of specialists you have out there in the woods of virginia what you really think about that i don't care what the military says i don't care what the state department says they're always defending their policy i want to have an independent look at this tell me what you really think now he has betrayed us and so did a fight with two wars. you know if it's analysts say these are a fool's errand but you'll never prevail in afghanistan because for that you need the pakistanis to cooperate and there's no chance in god's creation that they'll cooperate what kind but what kind of reaction is petraeus going to have to his analysts who are trying to give it to him street and will he really have the integrity to go to the person and say you know i thought the surge is in this world was good but the special

and the ones that was the torture of more kinds of pets that was never in this huge but president truman ok that's the one that gets all the attention when the president should the paradigm is the one that tells him what's really going on in the world what what are the chances for hope with respect to afghanistan the pop star so it's going to be a very interesting thing to see how how pretorius navigates this and you know one thing he has to worry about the other directors i've had to worry about and that is if for example he decides well i think i think iran really is working on a nuclear weapon and that's when i tell the president he has to worry about something called we. he has to worry about how easy it is for principle analysts to say you know this is would be trivial for a country we know we know what we think he's distorting the there are ways to route but we've already seen how our our country and our government respond to weaken leaks as well we want to thank you very much it was rolling over and i thank you now coming up ahead he's gone after he gave an islamic floor but now r

how about bess truman? let's think of those three to jacqueline kennedy. those ladies when he left office were all in their '60s. jacqueline kennedy was 31 when she came to the white house to be first lady. there had not been young children in the white house since the teddy roosevelt era, in the early 1900. and they were not as young as young caroline he was only three when her parents into the white house, and john junior had just been born between the election and inauguration at the time that's ever happened in the history of the presidency and the first ladies. this picture was taken about 1962. can you even imagine mamie eisenhower our best to it on a horse? one of the reasons i can't imagine that is like my own grandmothers who are of that generation, i never saw my grandmothers wear trousers. my grandmothers always wore dresses. even just to see a first lady in writing close and to be as athletic as she was an excellent writer and a question, to be up on horseback was just different certainly again from the three predecessor. this was by the way wa

truman. and she says i would not know i was not born then. [laughter] she had a good time with that. but it warmed up both of the bushes. george bush walked to one side of the room and shared a toy chest where the kids get their choice when they came in it was very humanizing. man she became first lady mrs. bush elected and the press to have a long history of working on capitol hill to be her press secretary and gave the advice, if i said it, said it. that means if i said something to be favored to not interpret what i am saying and i meant it if somebody needs to interpret it i will do that. please don't do not do it for me. that's is an interesting approach many people will spend things the way that they want them but mrs. bush obviously felt very strongly she bled represent herself. no regular press conferences but press opportunities and mrs. bush got along well with the press but something in her memoir she said it something that everybody in public life has to understand that the press has the last word. she held occasional press meetin

president truman and dean acheson said we have to rethink foreign-policy. dean acheson in his boat describe what was a newfound vision for america's foreign policy -- in his book describes what was a profound -- if brown -- newfound vision for america's foreign policy. we found that by being isolationist, we had been drawn into the conflicts of the world at great loss. secondly, we would promote our values. we would promote freedom and opportunity, free enterprise, and human rights. [applause] we found that those nations that had adopted those principles tended to be more peaceful. finally, we would be strong. we would acknowledge that there were good guys and bad guys. we would understand that there was evil in the world, that some people had as their intention to oppress others. we recognize that we would be strong and we would link our arms with our friends around role as allies, because together we could be stronger than any one nation could be alone. that has been the foundation of america's foreign policy for a long time. when the president came into

. >> in fact, they haven't been this safe since harry truman was president. a report out in the last few hours finds driving deaths are down sharply. >> that's a story that's new this morning. jessica doyle is live in arlington with a closer look at what is behind the numbers. good morning, jess. >> good morning to you, folks. of course, we're here in arlington, fairfax drive. main thoroughfare. as you reach for your keys, encouraging news for drivers. the roads haven't been this safe in a half of a century. a lot of that has to do with what we're doing with our cars. a lot of it has to do with what we're not doing. we're buckling in more and more. we're buckling in our families. we're driving vehicles that are equipped with airbags. some of the things we're not doing quite as much. drinking and driving. let's take a look at the numbers from the national highway traffic safety administration. they say that the number of people killed in accidents dropped to 32,788 in 2010. that's the lowest level since 1949. we're down about 3% from 2009. those declines come

delegate to the united nations by president truman. and she is instrumental in the creation of this document, one the most important documents of the 20th century. universal declaration of human rights. we would not have that document if it had not been for eleanor's genius in dealing with the communist and with the other political players at the united nations. so let me just conclude by saying that i personally think and try to make the case in the book that eleanor's ability to turn the relative passive role of first lady into a vibrant one of activism stems in part from the close relationship she has with people who are outside of the normal aristocratic circle of an upper class woman. these people, well, joe lash in particular, but other people too, the women newspaper reports that she knew, women like ruby black, and, of course, louie howe, who unfortunately died in 1946. they all help her transform a position that she didn't really want. a job of first lady and make it into a position of importance in the american presidency. an

. >> harry truman was president in 1946 and the minimum wage was 40 cents an hour and she has never stopped wearing three inch high heel even after the hospital founder alta bates told her to stop wearing them because she might fall and sue . >> she's not gone home in 60 years. >> when she had her appendix out she was back typing with an iv in her arm . she had one of berkeley's first electric type writers. >> but succumbobed to the computer. >> she's relevant and modern and refreshing and her attitude is amazing. >> she is a member of the frank sin at rafan club. how does she get to work. >> i drive now. i didn't know how to drive until i was 67. >> 65 years and a plan. >> i want to go from my desk to the morg with nothing in between. >> she would like to work five more years. >> how can you fuse - refuse. >> recruiters may come calling after that story. >> perfect employee. >> if et put in a call . why scientist are about to pull the plug on the search for intelligent life in outer space. >> grocery store sticker shock. why you should be ready to pay more for everything in the weeks ahead

arkansas -- harry truman's wife had worked in his office and taken care of his mail, and the vice president, vice president gaper's wife also had been in his office and taken care of the mail, so that wasn't a truly unusual request. what do you think franklin said? no, of course not. that's missy's job. and he was referring to his personal secretary, missy lehand. in fact, history is dubious on this, but it is in the biography ies, there is even speculation that eleanor was so upset by thinking of having to be first lady which she saw as an empty, ceremonial role she didn't want to participate in, that she wrote a letter. and in that letter threatened to leave franklin and run away with earl miller who i'll show you a picture of in a minute. so you've got to remember, you know, we think of these people as saints now, they're flesh and blood folks just like us. well, we don't know for sure if there was such a letter although there were people who supposedly saw the letter, and the letter was supposedly destroyed by louie howell who was eleanor's great friend and confidant. of course, he was

and that's one the reasons why no one has been able to pass it since harry truman first proposed it in the election of 1942. actually, it was proposed by -- originally teddy roosevelt when he ran as the bull moose candidate in 1912, i believe. yeah. but the first democratic, the first major party candidate was harry truman and no democrat has made much progress with it until barack obama. and then cap and trade, that's a very complicated issue. it's complicated because people living today are being asked to make sacrifices for posterity. and that generally doesn't work. the famous -- there's famous political saying, what has prosperity ever done for me? and once more, it's very complicated and easy to mislead people on. and one the more depressing statistics, i think you'll hear all year is that fewer people believe in the reality of manmade global warming. in 2009 and 2010 than did in 2007 and 2008. when, in fact, the evidence for it was quite strong. of the 20 republican senate candidates who ran for office in 2010, 19 denied the reality of manmade global warming. okay. so those are

truman. and barbara says, well, isn't that interesting. i wouldn't know. i wasn't born then. so she had a good time with it but it really -- it really warmed up both of the bushes. george bush, by the way, walked to one side of the room and he showed a toy chest where all the kids kept their toys when they came to the white house. it was just very humanizing. when she became first lady, mrs. bush selected anna perez, who had had a long history already working on capitol hill to be her press secretary, and she gave her this advice. she said to her, if i said it, i said it, which meant if i said something, don't interpret what i was saying. i meant it. and if someone needs to interpret it, i will be the one to do it, but please don't -- don't do it for me. and that's an interesting approach to first lady press relations. you know, many first ladies have many people who will spin things in their -- the way they want them. mrs. bush, obviously, felt very strongly that she was going to represent herself. there were no regular press conferences but there were press opportunities. m

how are we -- harry truman raise taxes to pay for the korean war. how are we paying for these wars? >> in world war ii, a up half of gdp. this is under 3% of gdp. >> so we don't have to pay for it? >> this is a man who was going toxic over the prospect of the deficit. you are absolutely right, these are the most unpatriotic wars ever waged. fought without a draft, without tax increases. we got tax cuts. the war has been put on the national debt by the afghanistan and iraq wars, put on the national debt from the founding of this country in the 1776 to 1900 a.d., two world wars, the louisiana purchase, the civil war, the great depression. >> even if i conceded the wars are unpatriotic they are not the drivers of the dead. it is not me speaking, it is the president's own commission. it is demagoguery to say they are the drivers of the debt. >> do we agree on that? >> yes. >> at least three of us do. plan,rles' plan, ryan's is a grand idea, but it is not goinin anywhere now and it has o details whatsoever. >> we were wondering if members of congress would allow the government to shut do

harry truman took over the job at a dicey time for the u.s. and the world.e were at war, after all. yuri gagarin woke up the world on this day in 1961 as the first man in space. just 20 years later the first space shuttle flew, the shuttle "columbia." and on this anniversary the remaining shuttles were handed out today by nasa as tourist attractions when the program is all over. l.a. will get the shuttle "endeavour." the kennedy space center will get "atlantis." "discovery" will go to the smithsonian aerospace collection just outside d.c. and the shuttle will finally land here in new york. we'll get the "enterprise." but in the life of this country this day will always mean just one thing, the start of the civil war. the first shot was fired 150 years ago today. the civil war killed 2% of the population of the united states. it tore our nation apart and reformed it later. and when we come back, we'll show you how it was remembered today where it started. >> reporter: a crackling predawn fire for confederate re-enactors ready for battle, while across charlest

. >> there is no obama doctrine in the sense of the monroe doctrine or truman doctrine. proactive, pragmatic -- is that what it is? >> i think that is exactly what it is. he went to great efforts that this was a one-time-only, not to be confused with the powell doctrine, now effectively repeal by two administrations. what you have on the ground in libya is a military force that is a ragtag at best, carrying rifles, and in an openagainst heavy artillery and armor -- open space against heavy artillery and armor. >> in his nobel prize acceptance speech, he said, "i believe that force can be justified on humanitarian grounds. inaction tears at our conscience and can lead to a more costly intervention later." but he also said that america cannot act alone. is this consistent with what he said in oslo? >> it is dead in a lot of this depends on if we get lucky, and if -- it is. a lot of this depends on if we get lucky, and gaddafi feels the squeeze, it will be a good strategy. if we have no control over this and he hangs on and it is a bloody civil war and we get sucked in -- >

edgar hoover had wiretapped tommy the cork's phone because the truman administration was very nervous about the old new dealers. so it started in 45, and there were claims of coverups but it was always, jack was always able to prove that he was assigned after he was cleared by a grand jury on a 20 to nothing vote, they didn't press charges against him. he was sent to tokyo to be on macarthur's staff. this is not what you do with someone who is not very competent or might be doing something illegal. hoover didn't like that at all, and he said that the case against the six was airtight unless they had to prove intent. excuse me, you always have to prove intent if you're going to find someone guilty. but he didn't give up on it, and lo and behold by 1950 after the soviets had detonated their atomic bomb and shocked the world and we found there were atomic spies, he gave a lot of information, leaked information to mccarthy who leaked it to the press and started this spies and timing is a chance in the state department. and he gave a speech that many of you may have heard of in west virgin

factor that explains why traffic fatalities nationwide have dropped to a level not seen since the truman administration. and area drivers are taking in car safety features very seriously. >> we want airbags. car side protection, all of it. >> reporter: car seats are believed to have saved 300 lives around the nation in 2009 alone. in the washington area, 100 lives are believed to have been saved because of airbags but the most important thing you can do to stay safe is buckle up. seat belts are believed to have saved 400 lives. the number would have been higher if everybody was wearing a seat belt. >> fatal accidents like this one this week in fairfax are becoming less frequent. the national highway traffic safety administration reports traffic deaths were projected down 3% for 2010 and down 25% since 2005. jessica doyle, 9news now. >>> seat belts and airbags aren't the only major factors contributing to the drop in traffic fay at fatalities. the government also credits crack down on drunk driving. >> a commuter alert. the outer loop in alexandria will go to just two lanes. starting toni

when harry truman was passport. fatalities dropped 25% in the last five years. why, why, researchers say a number of different relationships, 85% of drivers now wear seat belts, and cars come with air bags and technology to protect those inside during crashes 32,000 were killed on the highways back in 2010. there are challenges ahead of us, distracting driving, something that law enforcement is trying to get a handle on here. tremendous progress, highway deaths at the lowest point in 60 years. >> to the latest on the budget battle, threatening to shut down the government. >>> the labor development will release the unemployment numbers. it is about 9.5% in the district n maryland, 7.1%, virginia's unemployment rate is 6.4%. today, president obama will focus on improved fuel efficiency, when he visits a shipping facility. they are expected to check out green fleets from several businesses. >>> prince william opens up about wedding jitters, and what woman: my giant they're fantastic. i can't say enough about them. i can go in, get the things i need, and i know i'm

since president truman, we've had a pretty consistent foreign policy. he said we had to rethink american foreign policy. dean acheson described a newfound vision for america's foreign policy. there were three elements. one was that we would be involved in the world. we would not be isolationists. we would be involved. we found by being isolationist that we had been drawn into conflicts of the world a great loss. we would promote our values, freedom, opportunity, free trade, human rights. we would promote the things we believe in. [applause] we found the nations that adopted those principles tended to be more peaceful. finally, we would be strong. we would acknowledge that there were good guys and bad guys. we would understand that there was evil in the world and that some people have the intention to oppress others. we recognized that we would be strong and links arms with friends to run the world as allies because together, we could be stronger than any one nation alone. that has been the foundation of america's foreign policy for a long time. with the
