The principal weakness OF the
American political structure is that
actually no adequate continuity has
been arranged for the Presidency.
IL is true that constitutionally the
Vice President becomes President,
but the Vice President never has the
opportunity to share the RESPONSE
bilities or the knowledge OF the
President whom he may succeed.
Certainly Mr.. Truman was never
Mr.. Roosevelt's confidant; he was
never his associate. his partner in
government. In that respect, his
relationships were less fortunate
than those OF Mr.. Garner or Mr..
Wallace.
Yet, Mr.. Truman is catapulted
by death into the Presidency at a
moment as difficult, as troublous
as that which sent Andrew Johu-
son to the White House. Certainly

approvingly over the figure of the

time for anything but glance. But,

how, Waite's letters were full of
stuff about what ought to be done
to Calder. Boiling him in oil was
the gentlest l ran across. There
were more threats than there are
feathers on goose"
"Too many" Aggie said. Then
he frowned. "On the other hand,
if you were going to push some
body over, it might be very inge-
NOUS TO write a sheaf of wildly
threatening missives. / mean-the
police would assume that nobody
would threaten so much, and then
actually take the risk of doing the
job"

bility. If Calder was deliberately
killed, the person who did it was
darned imaginative. Darned. I'M
aginative to lure him into that trap
or to bang him one and carry him
to it,"
