Now you have unified city, with prac-

Stand Out, He Says, as Great
Personalities of Time.

Norman r. Smith, 73-year-old sur
vivor Of one Of Washington's most
fraternal cliques-the White House
gang" OF the 60S-has returned to the
Capital.
Mr.. Smith, q boyhood companion Of
Inaddeus Lincoln, son Of the Inartyred
PRESIDENT, Is here as q California dele
gate to the National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress, now converting at the
Willard Hotel.
A periodic visitor here, the former

Contrary TO Tradition.
As the young friend Of Thaddeus
Lincoln, privileged with free access to
the White House reception rooms, then
the focal point Of American destiny.
Mr.. Smith measured great men, 90 to
speak from the front row." His I'M
pressions. in great part, are contrary
to popular tradition.
There were but two large scale per-
sonalitieS In the Union during the last
days Of 65-Lincoln and Grant" Mr..
Smith relates, II saw both Of them in
the only possible way to actually see
q MANN his home"
The sentimentalized picture Of Lin
coin, o naive, great-hearted man, en-
dowed more with fortitude than sub
tlety, Mr.. White said, is q gross mis-
conception, wholly inadequate char
acter."
IT received my impressions of Lincoln
from the ground up actually playing
at times, under his feet" Mr.. White
recounted, He had wonderful virtues,
all the Christian ones. His greatest,
however, and one sadly understresSed
by historians, was his mental pliancy.
Was Rank Outsider.
when Lincoln came to Washington, u
Mr.. White continued, HE was a rank
outsider, distastefully provincial to high
officialdom. For four trying years he
was on the defensive, both socially and
politically. He used every resource of an
amazingly elastic intelligence, bargain
ing like q secondhand clothes dealer.
STOPPING low to attain great end. He
was q duellist, not q deliberator.
Not for IS years, when the memoirs
Of Robert Lincoln are published" Mr..
White concluded. will the most signifi-
cant phase Of Lincoln's presidency-his
domestic lhe-be automatically revealed
We will have q different man then"
