On OF The nehis &AsAo-s'
paths to open up in recent years is
the one which leads the hiker to
the position Of ghost writer for the
President of the United States. It
is a very fine job. 1t pays well,
affords a seat with the mighty,
enables one to speak OF going to
the White House as others do Of
attending the second show at the
Roxy, and initiates the ego until it
Is larger than the average circus
balloon.
Another nice thing about helping
write the speeches of the President
of the United States Is that 1t
carries few responsibilities. If the
President makes speech that Isn't
well accepted and has the rap put
on it by the editorial columns Of
the country, the President has to
shoulder the blame. OF course, the
President might raise the dickens
with the ghost writer, telling the
rhetoric man he wasn't quite up to
par, and telling the ghost writer's
in charge Of economies, labor and
foreign policy that they should cut
out the coffee and get more sleep.
But, insofar as the great public is
concerned, 1t was the President who
muffed the ball.
On the other hand, when the
President makes speech that stirs
the country with its simplicity, its
forthrightness, its grasp Of affairs
here and abroad, the ghost writers
can smugly pat themselves on the
back, give one another an II told
you so" look, and, with the utmost
discretion, confide to all their friends
and acquaintances that they did the
lions share Of the work that made
the speech the success that it was.
Just how many Presidents have
employed ghost writer's I do not
know, but I believe I am safe In
saying that not until Franklin
Roosevelt;s time did the average
American know that the head of
his Government had paid help to
assist him in turning the right
phrase in the right direction. I am
sorry that the average American,
of which I am one, ever learned
this. I would liked to have gone
on thinking that the great speeches
and great writings of our Presidents
belonged to them, and them alone.
No one will ever convince me
that our earlier Presidents had out
side help in expressing the thoughts
Of their hearts and their minds. Not
enough historians or researchers
ever lived to convince me that
in preparing his farewell address
George Washington had any hired
assistants. And, I ask you II you
can picture Abraham Lincoln turn
ing to any one and asking for the
proper word, the exact phrase, to
express what was In his heart, as
he rode from washington to Gettys-
burg that day, and scribbled out
the adress he was to make? just
can't see any one leaning over his
broad shoulders and suggesting a
change here and a change there or
Mr.. Lincoln's listening to q sugges-
ton that he take out this sentence
and substitute another because 1t
would be more in keeping with the
policy Of his party.
Ghost writers for athletes? Yes.
Ghost writer's for movie stars? Yes.
Yes, yes and yes. But ghost writer's
for Presidents? No, no and no. A
man, who feels he is humble enough
to take on that job should be
humble enough to rise or fall on
what he, and he alone, says or
writes.

would still leave the Government

ecutive. The most that is likely to

over the controversy surrounding 9

Mr.. Sweeney was challenged from
the audience to identify the "uniln-
peachable source" through which
the candidate said he had learned
that Senator Kilgore, chairman Of
the Senate War Investigating Com
mittee, had reached agreement at a
White House conference to sidetrack
calling Representative May before
the committee.
ut was denied on behalf OF
President Truman in Washing
ton today that the May matter
had been discussed at q confer
ence this week between Senator
Kilgore and the President.)
When Mr.. Sweeney answered
that he was not at liberty to do
so, Senator Kilgore himself ad-
dressed question to his oppon-
ent, asking him to specify the
day on which Senator Kilgore
was said to have seen the Presi.
dent.
When the day was named
Senator Kilgore declared he had
been campaigning in central
West Virginia counties and II
was not even in Washington on
that day couldn't have had q
conference with the President"
Mr.. Sweeney, at one point OF the
exchange, offered to make tele-
phone call Immediately and ask
to be released from his commit
ment not to reveal the source. He
said he still considered the source
of his information "unimpeach-
able"
Earlier this week Mr.. Sweeney
had said he had information that
any further investigation Of Repre-
sentative May, who suffered heart
attack on the eve Of his appearance
before the Senate committee, will
be sidetracked at least until after
the election, and perhaps for al
time"
In washington. today, White

said that President Truman had in
formed him the May affair did not
come up at his conference this week
with Senator Kilgore ''in any shape

the contrary 'is untrue"
