The President and Peace

1Ile CIlOuSdNQS upon IllOuSduQS Ol people
in Washington today for the Inauguration
of Harry S. Truman did not come here to
weigh the solemn issues of war and peace.
This has been for them, a day of celebra-
ton. And they had every right to make
the most of the opportunity.
There are, of course, shadings and de-
grees among the celebrants. Riding high
est are the members of that faithful little
band who were for Mr.. Truman from the
beginning. There are others among the
professionals who reluctantly fell into line
after the nomination in Philadelphia, and
who even to this day must be rejecting
moodily upon the frailness of human ma
ture and political judgment which in
duced them to beat the drums for the
nomination of some one else. In third
place, and poor third at that, are those
for whom the great awakening did not
come until after the votes had been
counted; but, inaugurations being what
they are, there has been a place here for
them, too.
Then there are those who stand apart
from the professional politicians. Many
of these voted for Mr.. Truman and came
to Washington to see the man of their
choice take office. Still others-and in
this group are the voteless Washingtonians
were drawn by the magnetic attraction
Of great spectacle, a spectacle which Is
of the essence of America.
For all of these, whatever their reason
for being here, in whatever category they
may belong, this has been carnival day,
and that Is as it ought to be. But for the
man whom they have come to see and
applaud, 1t is quite another matter. When
the ceremonies are completed and the
festivities over, the spectators can return
to their homes and 60 about their own
business. 1t is not for them to be overly
concerned with the heavy burdens which
President must assume.
In his informal comments at the various
functions which he has attended, Presi-
dent Truman has made it clear that he
regards the attainment of real peace as
his primary aim. There Is no need to
dwell upon the magnitude of the difficult
ties which stand in his way. He is we'll
aware of them, but he is also fully con-
scious of the great opportunity which is
his as, for the first time, he becomes Presi-
dent in his own right. In all probability
the next four years will determine whether
the world is to have war or peace. They
will be years which will call forth from
the President all of the strength and all of
the courage and all of the wisdom he has.
But no one man has enough of these
qualities. There will be many times during
his tenure when Mr.. Truman will need to
draw upon the strength and the support
Of the people who came to Washington
today to cheer him on. And the prospects
for peace will be better If they will remem-
Der this when they 60 back home.

The Lady in Car No. Z

The eyes of the world are on her husband
today, which is as it should be and is what
she would want. But there is special
place in the hearts of her Washington
friends and admirers for the lady who
rides to and from the Capitol in Car No. 2
behind the President
Bess Wallace Truman on this day must
be pretty much the same sort of person
she always has been. That is one of the
things that people who know her like
about her. 1t is probably one of the things
her husband likes about her, and he has
known her for a long time.
He knew her first when they were kids in
independence and sat together in second
grade. They were classmates all the way
through high school, graduating in 1901.
They were married eighteen years later,
when the young captain got home, fresh
from the wars And they have been to-
gether ever since. She worked in his Office
as secretary when he came to Washington
as a Senator, getting up early to cook
breakfast for him and Margaret. When
she went along with him during his 1914
campaign for the vice presidency, he liked
to tell people that "she looks just like
woman ought to who's been married
twenty-five years" She asked her friends
to pray for her, and Harry when he became
President on that gloomy day in April
of 1945. There was no better trouper on
the arduous campaign last summer than
she-and If she ever got tired she never
showed it,
She does not like to be out front, but
it is part of her job. She will never be
upstage. self-contained, quiet. friendly,
with a sparkle of humor in her eyes, she
is warmly responsive to those who are
friendly to her She is the sort of wife
and mother that people like to think of as
being the First Lady. This should be a
happy day for her. May there be many
others in the years ahead!

Praises Senator. Chairman McGrath

Praises Senator Chairman McGrath
To the Editor of The Star:
1t was with great deal of interest that I
read the article by Gould Lincoln in your issue
Of January is, pertaining to our great national
chairman Senator j. Howard McGrath.
To say that we in Rhode Island agree heart
lily with what Mr.. Lincoln wrote would be put
ting it mildly. I think that time will show that
Senator McGrath performed one of the great
feats of organization in the history of the Dem
ocratic Party in the last campaign.
I personally can testify to the efficiency Of
the National Committee in this last campaign
in contrast to that of the senatorial and con-
gressional campaigns of 1916. At that time I
was greatly interested in the race between
Joseph Tone and Senator Baldwin of Connecti-
cut and it was terrific struggle to get cam
paign information and material from national
headquarters. In contrast, the spirit of Coop
Grafton and help offered by the National Com
mittee in 194S testifies to the gigantic work OF
reorganization and efficiency which was ef-
fected by our present chairman.
It is not enough to say that he has done q
tremendous -job as national chairman. think
it is fitting and proper that recognition for
his services Is his right and due.

The above is printed as received, except for
two changes.
What is the use of being editor If you can't
make few changes now and then?
The second line, as written, was "susurrant
wind"
That is poetic, of course but we didn't want
to cause any one heart failure, since the word
big ones.
1t means Whispering" anyway.
But then comes whispering Groom" which
we then were forced to change to "murmuring"
The word "susurrant" is from the French,
and is now obsolete and rare.
1t is one of these words that through its
very syllables says" what it means. In other
words. you get the very whispering effect by
saying the word.
Susurr is to whisper
susurrus-and this is perhaps the best
modern use-is a muttering, a humming a
whispering.
Thus sudden Susurrus (and no matter how
many times one writes this word, it does look
obsolete) might be brief commotion caused
by bit of gossip.
Life among newspaper men is just one
SusurruS after another, one might say.
Each good article or editorial makes a brief
sensation, but is forgotten the next day, as a
new susurrus arises.
Now to get down to January.
1t is a good month, perhaps, but one easily
forgotten in February.
1t causes sort of brief humming, or NUT
terng, during the year.
1t Is not as nice as October in this vicinity,
but usually better than February.
February!
There is the cursed month of our year. There
is less sunshine then, more dismal days. more
sickness, more
The days 60 one after the other, but only
the fact that spring impends makes February
bearable
Those vino can do so would be we'll advised
to stay at home as much as possible during
February.
Even then they should keep sharp lookout
for toys left on staircases. small scatter rugs
on too well polished floors. etc.
But above all. no one with imagination
should forget for moment those blossoms
now dreaming under the snowdrifts.
They are there, bless their hearts. waiting
for the sunshine and fragrance of those fair
days in June of which our poet speaks so well.
No particular susurration will be necessary
when those same fair breezes of June hit us
in the middle of the back.
"Oh, what Is so rare as day in june"
indeed?
Then if ever another poet said, come perfect
days.
We ask not for perfect days, just nice, honest,
comfortable days with bit OF susurrus on the
side.
A little humming, mutterng whispering
breeze to keep us cool, and good Oh susurrus-
bird dipping into the flowers after nectar.
Most people say nectar, but it is tiny insects,
really. How could baby susurrus-bird live on
nectar? He has to have real, live grub, insects
filled with protein)
Yes, when we see that little Of susurrant,
whispering muttering hun1mingbird poking
it's long nose dnto the bells of flowers, we will
be glad, and 80 will everybody else.

am afraid we are inclined to treat

How often have you noticed a
girl who is attractive in every de-
tail until you see her feet. In
many Of US, the contrast in flat,
calloused, mis-shapen feet, patent
ly uncared for, Is shocking.
Summertime is a period Of en-
phasiB on the feet. It's impossible
to hide and stin to relax. So here
is a simple routine Of care for
them. which should pay off in at
Effectiveness and comfort.
After scTubbing with a good
stiff brush, soak the feet In
water that Is as hot as Is bear
able for 10 minutes. Then
plunge them into cold water for
five minutes. Alternate this
operation three or four times.
