Says Her Job Takes Sense Of Humor This is the second of two articles concerning prospective "first ladies." Editor. BY SIGRID ARNE.

WASHINGTON. Mrs. Harry Truman is likely to get aboard a campaign train at the last minute because her husband wants her along. If she does, her role will be that of the traditional, middle-class American wife a quiet faithful helpmate. No announcement has been made by the White House as to her plans during the cam-aign.

A presidential adviser does say that whether she goes along "is simply a matter between the two of them, and they'll probably decide hen the time comes." Left to her own decision, Mrs. Truman no doubt would like to stay home. There is little evidence in her life although her husband has held public office for more than 20 years that she has taken any real interest in anything outside her home. Like so many other thousands of American women during the war. she cooked lunches for the USO and rolled bandages for the Red Cross.

She has made two speeches on the record since she was in the White House. Both were about a paragraph long. Once she intro duced Franklin D. Roosevelt, at a March of Dimes event Once she christened a hospital plane. This second speech she read.
