An Army daughter, as well as an
Army wife, Mrs. Leslie r. Groves,
whose husband directed the atomic
bomb project, learned long ago not
to ask questions about things that
didn't concern her directly. :. She
was born at Fort Washable, Wyo.,
the daughter of the late Col. and
Mrs. Richard Wilson and she grew
up knowing that when Army officers
were busy day and night, something
important-something not to be in
quired about-must be under way.
"Of course, If the general had told
me all about the atomic bomb devel-
opment, wouldn't have understood
anyway" gayly observed the attrac-
tive Army wife whose telephone has
been ringing continuously ever since
the bomb hit the headlines, and the
first Jap city. my mind hasn't the
slightest scientific turn" she went
on, "and neither has Ovens" She
was speaking of her 16-year-old
daughter, whose chief current inter-
est is tennis and whose chief regret
the past year has been that her
father hasn't had much time to play
tennis with her.
1t. Richard Groves, son of the
family, can talk science" with his
father hours on end, but he was as
surprised as everybody else about
the atomic bomb and his fathers
connection with 1t. "All I knew was
he was working on something secret,
and he certainly kept it just that"
said the young Army officer who
was graduated in June from West
Point and is now stationed at Fort
Belvoir's Engineering School.

in the Senate he has not been in
f1uential-especially when it came to
getting things done
The administration swapped Mr.
Wallace for Mr.. Truman at the Demo-
cratic National Convention last July in
the hope of more strongly uniting the
Democratic party and of winning a
fourth term for President Roosevelt in
the November election 1t has been called

Is certain that it avoided a bitter
Democratic row in the convention it
Sef-even more bitter than that which
arose because of Mr. Wallace's ardent
ClO support for denomination.

Although the CIO and some of the
more ardent New Dealers went down
the line for Mr.. Wallace at the con-
vention, it is also true that Sidney Hill
man of the PAC and Philip Murray,
president of the CIO, agreed to accept
Mr.. Truman. So there should be no
ructlons from that source when Mr..
Truman takes over as president of the
Senate. Mr.. Truman, therefore. should
be in strong position when it comes to
dealing with all shades of the Demo-
cratic majority in the upper house.
The new Vice President is the only
Senator who has been elected Vice
President, except the late Charles Curtis
of Kansas who served in the Hoover
administration. in half century. The
Democrats picked the late Senator Joe"
Robinson as their viee presidential can
didate to run with Alfred E. Smith in
1928, and the Republicans. the late
Senator McNary of Oregon to run with
Wendell L. Willkie in 1940 But they
were defeated.
Mr.. Truman also has the distinction
of being the only man who served in
the countrys armed forces in the World
War to be elected either President or
Vice President. although a quarter of a
century has elapsed since that conflict
ended. He is an artilleryman becoming
first lieutenant of the 129th Field Artil-
lery in the 35th Division in 1917, with
which he saw service overseas, parti-
cularly in the st. Mihiel and the Muese-

Wartime InuuquroI

1t has been eighty years since an
American President has taken Office
in the midst of great war. On
March 4, 1865. when Abraham
Lincoln was sworn in for his second
term, the war of State against State
was drawing to close. Yet there
was no easy future ahead for a
Nation which had been shattered
and embittered by four years of
bloody civil conflict Then, as now,
the crying heed was for leadership
of the highest order
Some of the problems which con-
front President Roosevelt as he un-
dertakes the heavy duties of fourth
term are not greatly different from
those with which our Civil War Pres
ident had to deal. The end of the
conflict is farther off, yet it can
hardly be said that there is less
assurance Of ultimate victory. Once
again, the military problem is to
maintain ceaseleSs pressure on the
enemy, to drive and harry his
armies until their means of resist
ance have been exhausted. But in
other respects the problem is greatly
different. President Lincoln'S main
concern, beyond the winning of the
war, was the healing of internal
wounds. The man who will sit in
the White House during the next
four years will have to deal not only
with a United States afflicted with
war WEAKNESS and material eXhaus-
ton, but he will also have to assume
the enormous responsibility of lead
ership, with our Allies, in clearing
away the wreckage of battle
throughout the world and in fash
ioning some instrument which will
serve to prevent third world war.
The President, during his fourth
administration, cannot hope for any
large measure of success without the
support of united people But
unity is not to be had for the asking.
To very large extent it is inspired
by the example that is set. Mr..
Roosevelt is right in insisting on a
brief and simple Inauguration, a
ceremony attuned to the theme:
Lets get on with the war" In this,
he is putting first things first, and
if we are not to falter in the hard
days ahead that must be the domi-
nant theme of his fourth admins
tration.
Evening star., 1945-01-20

The fact that the Germans, according
to ofncial Russian communicates, have
been able to take civilians from Warsaw
into slavery would indicate that they
had moved out of the reach of the main
force OF the enemy some time before the
blows were delivered.
All these factors are being weighed by
military observers who believe that un-
less the Germans have the means of
starting counterattack within the next
few weeks, the game in the east will be
up and the Russian offensive would have
achieved greater success than the most
optimistic military and political men in
Washington and in London dared hope.
The fighting men of all armies are
tired after so many years of continual
fighting. But their degree of fatigue
must be measured by accomplishments
To an army which advances VIGOROUSLY
and realizes that by another effort it
can ut an end to military operations,
the element Of fatigue is less telling
than to an army which fights merely to
delay inevitable defeat.
X *
1t is true that by their past accom-
pllshments on the western front, in Italy
diiu LII 1auISdTy, lne German soldiers
have shown determination to fight
well because it has been drilled into
them that If they give up everything
will be lost. They know by now that
this is war of total destruction which
applies to the military forces as well as
to the future of their country But
whether this despair can keep UP their
resistance beyond a certain point is
matter which cannot be answered at
the moment
For the time being the Wehrmacht
does not appear to lack the wherewith
to continue the battle. The industrial
centers in Eastern Germany have not
yet been touched by air bombardments
because the Russians are so confident
that they can overWhelm the enemy and
save these modern industrial establish
ments for future use that they don't
want them destroyed
On paper, the forces of Field Marshal
keitel are still capable of retarding the
progress of the Red armies by counter
offensive which, if successful, would
delay the defeat of the Reich until
summer But paper calculation may
prove wrong when applied to war-weary
armies whose only desire to fight is
prompted by despair

Fucinq the Issue

In determining the course it vi
pursue in the Capital Transit rse
discrimination case, the Fair Ell
ployment Practices COMMITTEES Is
faced with two main consideration.
One concerns the objective of pr
noting the war effort. The othr
has to do with assuring Negroes IN
equality OF economic opportunity.I
If an order directing the trant
company to employ Negroes as Is
and streetcar operators would pl-
mote the war effort and also elin-
nate the discrimination which stats
in the way of hiring colored oper-
tors, the solution of the proble
would be easy. But if, as a practitl
matter, choice has to be made +
tween these objectives-if an orG
for the employment of Negroes wou
result in any substantial interferere
with wartime transportation a
Washington - then the decisn
which the FEPC must make becons
more difficult.
Testimony offered at the rectt
hearings held by the FEP'C raisesa
possibility that the placing of Neao
operators on the platforms woulde
followed by an appreciable disr,-
ton of bus and streetcar serve.
Spokesman for the company testifd
that they had no objection to Neo
operators, that as a matter of ft
their successful employment wod
ease a serious labor problem. br
is it likely that any important nu-
ber of the company's patrons wod
object to colored operators. But he
case is different with respect TO te
operators now manning the bus
and streetcars.
A Sampling attitude" surveyef
the employees made by an investu-
tor recommended by FEPC) in
Gated that 10 per cent of the prest
operators would refuse to work w1
Negroes. This testimony was q
puted by an FEPC witness, who CHI
lenged the methods and the cone
sions of the survey, but VINO Id
made no investigation of his owno
determine the attitude of the e.
ployes. No testimony was recetd
from any of the employees tho
selves, nor did the hearings probe
other testimony of a signihcst
nature. The FEPC, however, N
addition to the evidence secud
here, may draw on its expeiece
IN other cities. where the actal
opposition to the employmentof
Negroes turned out to be less sfhs
than had been anticipated.
1t is on this rather inconelHe
factual basis that the FEPC INST
come to its decision. The discrii-
natory hiring practices in questn
are supported by long-establiSd
custom, rather than any dedy
rooted prejudice against colaredsls
and Streetcar operators. But thy
