To these men he delegated
authority but no responsibility.
Mr.. Truman will, beyond
doubt, drop this device alto

cover what the assistant presi-
dents" have been doing in the
name of the President and why.
We can afford to 20 slow and

does not need to prove that he
is a suitable successor TO Mr..

All this is required of Mr..

agree that falling in love Is at

THESE DAYS
DRESIDENT TRUMAN is en-.

DRESIDENT TRUMAN is en-
l. titled TO the support OF every
American for q sufficiently long
period TO enable him TO take
over the most complex govern
ment in all this world. and 10
faniiliarize himself with the
minutiae of the policy of his
predecessor. much of which has
been withheld from the Amer
ican people and it's Congress.
Harry Truman enters upon
the presidency at the terminus
of the European war, which
translated into American terms,
means the beginning Of the re-
conversion TO peactime living.
In a sense, his administration
must be an era Of restoration.
q return To American political
and economic forms removed
from the shocks Of constant and
frightening emergencies.
LIE STARTS handicapped by
II the decisions, the organlza-
tion and the methods OF his pred
ecessor. And this is aggravated
by Roosevelt's prolonged tenure
in Office and his penchant for
personal government.
He is handicapped by an i'm
possible cabinet. Out of 10
members. six come from New
York City: Stettinius. Morgen-
thau. Stlmson, Forrestal, Per-
kinS and Walker.
Although Frank C. Walker is
listed from Pennsylvania. he is,
for all practical purposes. a
New York lawyer.
The South has no representa-
ton; the Pacific Coast has no
representation.
A GAIN, from q political stand.
"A point, such a cabinet can
not really support the President.
Stettinius. Morgenthau, Bid
die, Forrestal and Perkins are
really nonpolitical personalities.
They have no political support
in Congress-; they have no
strength in any political party.
Henry l.. Stimson is Repub-
lican. highly honored by his own
party but no longer of influence
in its councils.
Frank G. Walker Is the only
organization Democrat.
Henry Wallace. a former Re-
publican, is now the forefront Of
the left-wing group centered in
PAC.
Claude Wickard Ia farm
bureaucrat whose entire public
career has been within the New
Deal.
This did not matter when Mr..
Roosevelt was president because
cabinet officers were not sSso-
ciates but assistants.

Navy Moves To Eliminate
Use Of Physically Unfit
Men In Overseas Service

WASHINGTON. March 15-U.R)-
Many physically unfit men are be-
ing sent overseas for Naval duty
and the Navy Department says
this must stop.
1t was disclosed tonight that the
Nays Bureau of Medicine and
Surgery and the Bureau of Naval
Personnel have sent a joint men,
orandum to all ships and stations
telling them what to do about the
situation.
Numerous reports Of receipt of
men in the overseas areas who
are not physically qualified to per-
form all of their duties, have been
received by the Bureau of Naval
Personnel" said the memorandum,
which then directed:
"In view of the transportation in
volved, the unwarranted burden
on medical facilities in advanced
areas and the present congestion
Of men awaiting medical or dental
treatment in those areas, it is ex-
tremely urgent that steps be taken
to prevent transferring such men
overseas"
