Inscribed photograph signed: "Kind regards to/Hugo Ernest/Harry
Truman". B/w, 13x10¾.Harry S Truman (1884-1972) had been Vice
President for only 82 days when he became the 33rd President of the
U.S. (1945-1953) upon Franklin D. Roosevelt's death on April 12, 1945. Faced
with the ordeal of ending WWII, Truman oversaw the surrender of Germany (May 7)
and ordered the atomic bombings on Hiroshima (August 6) and Nagasaki
(August 9). He fought the Cold War with the Truman Doctrine, a policy
granting Greece and Turkey $400 million in economic and military aid to help
them fight Communist aggression. By the end of 1945, Truman had introduced
economic measures that would become part of his Fair Deal program. As a
result, the minimum wage was increased from 40 to 75 cents an hour through an
amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and Social Security benefits
were extended to include approximately ten million more people. During his
second term, Truman ordered U.S. forces into action when North Korean troops
invaded American-supported South Korea. Paper loss at corners. Pin-holes at
upper corners. Ink note (unknown hand) on verso (no show-through). Fine
