0:00   Harry S. Truman is seated in front of a screen showing photographs of Senators Robert Taft and Arthur Vandenberg. Clipboard snaps.
    Mr. Truman speaks of Senator Taft and Senator Vandenberg being the top leaders on the Republican side, and they were afraid to make a big appropriation because the President would have control, and it would create a situation, both being isolationists before . . .
