Chairman J. Howard McGrath Of

that President Truman owes his

Pendergast and his Kansas City

the record of the Democratic Party
and attacks that of the Republicans.

In 1920, because Of q split in the
Democratic Party. But In 1924 he
was elected to four year term as
presiding judge of the Jackson
County Court, which made him the
chief administrative officer Of the

During two terms in this post

McGrath says rivals that of wealthy

to the point Of being able to satisfy
a mortgage on his mothers farm?
His record of service and i'm
peccable honesty served him well.
In buStling age Of rampant par
tisan politics in Missouri in the
early '30s, Truman retained his
calm, precise observation-disclosures. He
was recognized as being well estab-
lished in his own right rs the Jack
son County man with the largest
following and prestige. He was the
logical Democratic candidate for
the nomination ss United States
Senator, and the advancement did
not come TO him - the gift OF any

Served by Reputation.
Harry Truman was elected to the
Senate in 1884. The campaign was
lively, but he won handily, with the
outcome never in doubt. HIS Der.

bated by Congress He said he would
prefer that the people understand
the issues involved and that all as
poets Of it be fully aired before any
new plans were adopted. He sug-
gested that perhaps the Vice Presi-
dent, If assigned administrative
duties, should report to Congress
and not to the President.
Discussions With Hoover.
Gov. Warren has discussed the
problem in detail with Herbert
Hoover, chairman of the Brown.
Lodge commission for reorganiza-
ton Of the Government. Mr.. Hoover
told him that the commission had
found hundreds of Government
agencies, great and small, floating
in thin air without definite anchor
to any responsible official. Most OF
them, Mr.. Hoover said, had been by
tacit assumption assigned to the
White House, adding to the already
tremendous executive burden Of the
President.
It is this situation, Informed peo-
pie here realize, that made it possi-
BILE for Franklin D. Roosevelt SO
greatly to extend his field. Mr..
Roosevelt was adept at fishing in the
executive branch for what ne want
ed. For example he reconstructed
the east wing of the White House
with public works funds without GO
ing to Congress. President Truman,
unaware of these opportunities,
went to Congress when he wanted
to rebuild the wing and was re-
fused,

Of Combined Western European Forces

in the war as soon as the Russians
or their satellites fire the first shot.
In the opinion of our diplomatic
leaders, the only way to prove this
is to join in Western Europe's de-
fensive alliance.
This new grouping Of forces, in
which we are expected to take the
lead, Is more than a blueprint
Now that the Soviet government
has rejected the proposal Of the
Little Six" for the solution OF
the Berlin crisis. there is more than
a $3.50 chance that formal an
nouncement of cooperation be.
tween Western Europe and the
United States and Canada will
come forth sometime next month.
Because of dissatisfaction caused
not only In continental Europe but
in Britain itself, by the appoint
ment of Field Marshal viscount
Montgomery as supreme COM
mander of the Western European
alliance, it became necessary to
consider the appointment-eventu-
ally-of an American for that re-
sponsible position If we decided to
join the defensive alliance.
Others Considered for Job.
Even before matters had pro-
gressed as far as they now have,
Washington had considered several
potential appointees for the job.
Some suggested Gen. Eisenhower,
others Gen. Macarthur. But ap-
parently Gen. Eisenhower was not
available, while Gen. MacArthur's
military talents are needed in the
Far East, where the situation might
become extremely critical
The name of Gen. Albert c.
present deputy chief
Of staff in charge of war plans, was
eliminated because of his compare
tive youth and the need to keep him
in his present highly responsible
position. Finally, it is said, the
choice fell on Gen. Clark, whom
both the Army general staff and
the Western Europeans consider
flrst-class administrator, in spite
Of the troubles he had in the early
stages Of the Italian campaign. He
proved himself a highly competent
and forceful administrator as well
as an able diplomat while in COM
mand of our troops in Austria.

Governor Warren Tells Where

worth billions more, he suggests
that the revenue from this natural
resource be ear-marked for educa-
ton. He would thus find the funds
for Federal aid to education, ar
acknowledged national need.
Whether or not Mr.. Ickes is pro-
posing the best use of tidelands
revenue, he has touched on a ma
tional issue that the next President
will have to meet in many forms.
It is the issue of the national in
terest versus State or local interests.
In reverse 1t is issue of Federal
responsibility or lack OF responsible
ity for the welfare of the whole
country.
The great break between the
philosophy Of the Hoover admins
tration and that Of the Roosevelt
administration came on this issue.
MIR. Roosevelt and the New Deal
Congress accept Federal respon-
sibility. Mr.. TrV1nan holds to the
same course. The pattern has now
been too firmly established to be
changed-in principle. In practice,
however - well, there are such
things as tidelands oil.
