ance Of staying under the same roof

Mrs. Eisenhower is first and fore

IS years Of her married life has been
spent shifting from one Army post
to another. Her best friends nat
urally are other Army wives who
have spent innumerable hours play

All this is significant in assessing
what Mamie Eisenhower would be
like as First Lady.
Huge White House receptions,
which so distress many prospective
First Ladies, would be a breeze for
her. She's been giving and attending
them for years. Of1cial life wouldn't
stagger her: as wife Of the Army's
Chief Of Staff she operated almost
on the scale of q First Lady. Her
guest lists were much the same as
those for White House receptions.

unless it should fail, Mrs. Taft would

Voters Eye Wives Closely Candidates in Presidential Year

What will the next first lady Of
the United States be like?
Since Abigail Adams became the
first hostess of the still-incompleted
White House in 1900, every Presi-
dents wife has exerted influence of
some kind on the Capital scene-and
often on the course Of political
events.
The Nation. in the last 10 years.
has seen two strikingly different
types of First Lady in Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Mrs. Harry S. Tru-
man.
Dynamic Eleanor Roosevelt had an
opinion on almost everything. She
held weekly press conferences. wrote
q daily newspaper column. Despite
her staggering record as q globe
trotter, she kept a firm hand on
White House social arrangements, to
which she introduced a new tone OF
informally.
Bess Truman hasn't expressed
herself on q public issue since her
husband became President in April.
l945-except to say that she didn't
think the White House should be
torn down. Mrs. Truman frankly
doesn't like living in the presidential
goldfish bowl. She has carried out
the necessary social obligations. But
she has successfully kept the Tru-
mans private life private.
II it were possible to predict who
the next First Lady will be, much Of
the current spice would be taken out
of the current campaigning. But.
Mrs. Truman aside, the following
women have reason to be casting a
housewifely eye toward the White
House, and the Nation is eying them
with interest.
