KANSAS CITY, Nov. 8 -(iA'P)—— Harry B. 1311mm; the man who turned an apparent rout into a "miracle" victory, talked only of peace and "prosperity and hap- piness" today as the tributes oi‘ a nation rolled in.

Now President of the United States in his own right, and the popular champion of its political arena, he accepted the honor with mid-western modesty.

"I feel very deep‘y the respon- sibility which has fallen to my lot as the result of the election.” he said in a statement.

"I shall continue to serve the people to the best of my ability. All my efforts will be devoted tn the cause of peace in lhe world and the prosperity and happiness of our people here at home."

Gone was the fighting man who criss-crossed the country to win this hour of sweet victory from the depths of Democratic dcspondcnctr.

Gone was the cocky air with which he closed in triumph a cam- paign the big-wigs of his partyhad said he could not win.

Missing was the sarcasm with which he had promised to lflfTP the polluters to consign their forecast "to the ash cans."
