Ike Was Feared

of all the deterrent factors.
perhaps the most important was the
probability that Mr.. Truman would
have to run against Eisenhower.
Friends Of the president who sat
with him on the back porch" of
the White House in June 1913 re-
called how worried he was over the
prospect that Eisenhower would on
sent to have his name entered in
the Democratic convention in Chi
cago Truman made no secret of his
belief that Ike could take the Demo-
cratic convention by storm, and he
stewed mentally vel some means
of taking Eisenhower out of the race.
1t was on this particular eve
ming that George Allen was sent to
New York to get a letter from the
General guaranteeing that he would
not run. ~
Almost four years later. in the
late summer of 1851, Truman again
took confidential steps to make sure
he would not face Eisenhower as a
candidate. He remembered first a
commitment he had made to Ike
through their mutual friend, George
Allen, in 1948-that if Ike wanted to
run in SO, he, Truman would help
him. :
Truman told Allen that he con-.
sidered the North Atlantic pact one
of the most important c%ornerstones
for world peace and that Eisenhow.
er's leadership was essential to it
He added that he was worried over
Republican statements that Eisen.
hover was available for the COP
nomination, and he felt that both the
United States and our allies should
know whether Ike was running the
North Atlantic pact or running for
President.
Finally, the President sug-
gested that George Allen fly to
Paris and have a heart-to-heart
talk with Eisenhower.
Allen ~countered by suggesting that
Mr.. Truman write a friendly note
to Ike summarizing his views which
he, Allen, would deliver in Paris.
This was done. Allen delivered
the note and reported to the White
House later: First, that EisenhoW-
er would not quit the North Atlantic
pact in the near future; second, that
the NATO job would be completed
by this spring; third, that If he
did run. he would talk to Truman
first.

Five Reasons
AHAaslla2aNEIl

FRIENDS of President Truman at
! tribute the following reasons for
his historic decision not to run
again. y:
First, the wishes of Mrs. Tru-
man; second, his age-he would
have been, if elected, the oldest
President ever to take the oath Of
office; third, the advice of party
leaders, including Speaker Sam Ray
burn and Chief Justice Fred Vinson;
fourth, the embarrassing setback
given him by Senator Kefauver in
New Hampshire; and finally, the
prospect that he would have to run
against his old friend, General Eli
senhower.
For a long time the President
has indicated to members of his
family and to his closer friends that
he did not want to run. More re-
Gently he intimated to one close
intimate that the barrage of criti-
cism was getting on his nerves and
he wanted to get out.
- Probably only three or four of
his friends really knew how he. felt,
one of them being the chief justice,
whom the President had urged to
be the Democratic nominee himself
At one time, approximately nine
to twelve months ago, it was MI.
Humans plan to appoint the chief
justice to a key post in the admin
~istration such as secretary of state
or defense mobilizer in order to
give him a springboard to the presi-
dency.
This plan was s~idetracked In
part by Senator Mccarthy of
Wisconsin, though Mccarthy to
this day probably doesn't realize
it. However, the constant bar
rage of criticism fired at Dean
Acheson made it imperative in
the mind of Mr.. Truman, whose
loyalty of his friends is legion,
that Acheson be continued at the
helm of the state department.

Taft Tempted Truman

1t was at this undergraduates
ly around December and January
that President Truman seriously re-
considered changing his mind about
running. This period conceded with
Senator Taft's reputed gains of dele
gates and when the Eisenhower
hackers were discouraged.
This itching on the Presidents
part to take on Senator Taft
was what caused some of his
most revered political friends,
including Speaker Rayburn and
the chief justice, to urge him
not t. run.
Their view was that Harry Tru-
man would 60 down in history as a
great President, if for nothing else,
because of his courageous foreign
policy. Historians, the chief justice
is understood to have told the Presi-
dent, would overlook the petty po-
litical pickering and the corruption
issue and would focus attention upon

and Turkey from communism, In

in conceiving the North Atlantic
