Draft OF Nineteen
Year Olds Seen

WASHINGTON Up - Selective
Service may begin drafting 19-year-
olds soon, but definitely not before
the end of January.
An official told a reporter here
that surveys of the manpower stu
alton in the nation are being as
sembled to provide an up-to-date
picture on how many 20-year-oldS
still are available for the draft.
State Selective Service directors
viii come here next week to dis
cuSs their problems with national
officials, he said.
He added that these talks are ex.
pected to lead TO a decision on
when to change an outstanding or.
der banning the draft Of 19-year-
olds.
MAI. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey.
Selective Service director. issued
the ban early this year when some
local boards exhausted their lists
Of older regiStrants while others
retained large backlogs Of men q
and 2l years old.
The general said some time age
that when he decides to change the
order he might direct that local
boards at first take only youths
more than l9 years and 9 months
old, and then lower the age leveI
by three month intervals as needed

IOulllI'y VIII
Have 2Liying
Ex-Presiidents
BY ARTHUR EDsoN
tFor James MarIowl

WASHINGTON u On Jan 70
at high noon something will han
pen for the first time in more
than 20 years. As Eisenhower
steps In and Truman steps out.
this country once again will have
two living expresidents.
Back in 1929 Calvin Cool;dge
joined William Howard Taft as an
elder statesman. Taft died on
March 8, 1880. Since then we never
have had more than one living
former president.
Few of us grow up to be presi.
dents; fewer still to be ex-presi-
dents.
So there's no clear pattern of
what's expected of a man who has
held the nations highest office.
Truman undoubtedly has heard
the old vaudeville joke that pretty
well illustrates his present prob
lem. The funny man says he
doesn't want to be president
Straight mar asks, "Why not?"
Funny man says, "The lob has
no future in it."
In many foreign countries when
a party loses control its leader
stays on as head of the opposition
in Parliament There he can de-
fend his past actions and plan his
future ones.
It has been suggested that some
thing like that be tried here, with
ex-presidentS becoming non voting
members of the Senate.
But nothing ever came of that
proposal. Nor has Truman much
in the way of a guide from the
past when he considers what he
should do.
The White House has said he
has received number of offers.
(MoSt unusual offer: a recording
company would like to peddle
phonograph records of his piano
Sol0S). But Truman has said he
won't talk of his plans until he's
out of office.
Herbert Hoover, being independ-
emily wealthy, has had no financial
worries during his long years out
of office.
He has been able to do several
official jobs for the government,
including head a commission to
study the reorganization of the ex-
ecutive department.
By contrast, consider Thomas
Jefferson. He left the presidency
$20,0 in debt. And he was such
a perfect host-some of his guests
stayed for weeks-that his debts
mounted. He became so broke a
national subscription was taken to
bail him out.
The Key West citizen., 1952-11-26

NOTES
BY BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD R-Since the start
of history, older citizens have been
proclaiming that the younger gen.
Grafton is going to the dogs.
But today young Americans
found an unexpected champion in
Charles Laughton.
"Don't sell these young people
Short" the pudgy actor COM
mented. They're a lot smarter
than people think they are"
Laughton should know. The
young people of America are large
ly responsible for an important
and different turn in his long and
distinguished career.
This development began during
the war. Seeking some way to as
SiSt in the war effort, Laughton
was Stymied because he is not
primarily an entertainer. His sing
ing is not notable, he doesn't have
the temperament to tell jokes and
he is i'll equipped for doing a tap
dance. So he decided to tour
veterans hospitals, reading from
the Bible, Shakespeare and other
classics.
"To my great surprise, the audi
ences were exceptionally recep-
tive" he remarked. can attest to
that. A few years back, / watched
him perform at one of these hos
pital sessions. The veterans lis
tened raptly as he recited Shakes
pearian speeches and Biblical pas
sages.
Laughton's readings IN the hos
pitalS led to nationwide tour,
many of his appearances being
before universities.
The actor commented that the
intelligence of the younger gener-
alton has been underestimated.
'"They are fed on a diet of comic
books" he said. Actually, they
are capable of appreciating intel
lectual things. found this out in
the hospitals and in the universi-
ties where l have read and taught"

Aide Big Job
BY 60 cREAcH

WASHINGTON R-New Hamp-
Shire's Gov. Sherman Adams Is
stepping into one Of the toughest
and potentially one of the most
influential-jobs in the Eisenhower
administration.
President-elect Eisenhower an
nounced yesterday that he will
name the 53.year-old Adams, who
served as his campaign chief of
staff, to the post John r. Steelman
has held under President Truman.
Full title of this $2O,O a year
job is assistant to the President. -
That doesn't tell the Who'll. story,
though the No. l presidential as
SiStant actually is the eyes and the
ears of the man who sits behind
the Presidents desk-the liaison
man between the President and
most Of the federal departments
and agencies.
It's this man who transmits
White House policy to the Cabinet
members and others who are ex-
pected to follow 1t. And it's the
same man, with quick, frequent
access to the President, who keeps
the chief executive informed about
what the various officials and
agencies are doing.
The assistant can make recon-
mendationS, and in the normal
course of events he has more
opportunity to make them than
anyone else. Consequently the as
sistant to the President is a man
much sought after in official Wash
ington. He gets invited to all the
best parties.
This job hasn't been In existence
very long. It evolved from the
World War II post of war mobih-
cation director, which President
Franklin d. Roosevelt established
in an effort to keep peace among
various agencies.
But ii wasn't until Truman
picked Steelman to carry on SINH
lar duties after the war that the
present title of the post, "the
assistant to the president" was
created.
