Description

President Truman tonight receives from Eugene L. Abbott, President of the White House News Photographers Association, a Vulcain Cricket wrist watch that's an alarm clock too, during a farewell buffet supper given for him by the group. The presentation box is inscribed as "from the One More Club," since that is the name the President has given the news cameramen. The watch is inscribed "'One More Please' 1952 H.S.T. from the WHNPA" on the back. Abbott is a Washington Star photographer. From: Houston Post.
