seemed undisturbed by the turmoil
that inevitably surrounded his great
position. No President ever faced
more difficult and complex prob

more conscientious than he In his

.marvelled at that any human being
can stand the mental and physical
strain OF the office Of Chief Execu-
tive OF this Nation.
Il am Of the opinion that Pres
~ident should not be burdened with
the thought of reelection. Every
Executive very properly desires to
! have his work endorsed by those
: who place him in Office. but in the
: case OF President he should not
be called upon to do his daily tasks

not stand it.
"A six-year term for our Presi-

the strain. A President then would
have time to carry out his policies,
would be free to devote himself ex-

aspiration. to make a record that
would rebound to his credit on the
