Thomas L. Stokes:

Now that the sound and fury
of oratory have died away, it is
time that a voice be raised for
a doughty and resolute captain
of the political wars-for in the
temper Of these times few kind
words are likely to be said for
him.
Meaning Harry S. Truman.
President of the United States.
The time is appropriate. He
has said his farewell to a long
and active career as front-line
political warrior. A tribute is
in order. For he chose to do
this, not by sitting on the side
lines, but by getting out again.

few at that age undertake, even
for themselves.
This was not for himself. ex-
cept in a minor way that Is
human and understandable. It
was for himself to the extent
that he was. In part, seeking
vindication. He was saying a
final word for his stewardship
in the White House in a tumul-
tuous era before the record Is
handed over to the historians
for their appraisal and judg-
ment. A man. after all, is due a
final word for himself.
Chiefly, his arduous campaign
was, however, for his party. To
understand Harry Truman it is
necessary to know how much of
q party man he is, how devoted
he is to the Democratic Party,
how STEPPED he is in its long
history, its tradition, and its
philosophy. He il intensely In

The former ECA administrator

Now. said Mr.. Hoffman, he will
cable this message to Gen. Eisen-
hover:
IF there was any doubt in your
mind, take a look at Minnesota. .
Mr.. Hoffman related that he
gave very persuasive arguments
to Gen. Eisenhower to come back
to the United States, but not be-
fore the May Is Oregon primary.
If Gen. Eisenhower came home
before that time. there would be
insistence that he go to Oregon
and speak. Mr.. Hoffman said.
Mr.. Hoffman said John j. Nc
Clay. American High Commis-
sioner for Germany, also con-
ferred with Gen. Eisenhower dur
ing the week end and that it was
difficult to hew to political topics.
Eisenhower wanted to talk
about NATO. McCloy about Ger
many, and I had to practically
browbeat them and tell them that
I did not come 5000 miles just to
talk about those things" Mr..
Hoffman commented.
Mr.. Hoffman expressed belief
that Eisenhower finally had come
to realize that he was a '.promi-
nent candidate" since the New

Gen. Eisenhower had regarded it
largely as a theoretical concept.

Representative Jensen, Repub.
lican, Of Iowa. co-author Of the
present amendment limiting Fed
eral employment, said today he
will offer q new amendment fol
the coming year to cut the num-
ber Of Government jobs by 20 pei
cent.
MIR. Jensen said he would offer
the amendment to the 1853 inde-
pendent Offices appropriation bill
which was to come up in the
House today.
The amendment would allow the
agencies to bill only one out Of
four personnel vacancies until q
reduction Of 20 per cent Il
achieved.
Since the appropriation unit al
ready has reported the sharpest
economy measure in more than
four years. the additional cut pro-
posed by Mr.. Jensen would be
substantial. The independent
agencies were required to take q
cut Of more than 10 per cent,
including ABSORPTION Of last years
Federal pay raise
Mr.. Jensen said the agencies
would be given credit for the, cuts
already imposed by the Appropri-
|ations Committee. For instance,
IL an agency's personnel funds
were cut II per cent by the COM
mittee the Jensen amendment
would cut it another 8 per cent. for
a total Of 20 per cent. Even this
allowance. however. would impose
drastic employment cuts.
Meanwhile. Mr.. Jensen said he

intends to offer q similar rider to
other agencies. as well as to the
Defense Departments civilian per-
sonnel when the various money
bills reach the House floor. The
Defense Department was exempt
ed from this years amendment.
The new proposal Is considerably
more drastic than the Jensen
Ferguson amendment now in ef-
feet. Whereas the current amend
ment applies only a 10 per cent cut
and allows it to be made below
original budget requests. the pro-
posed amendment would cut en-
ployment 20 per cent below actual
employment.
As was the case last year, the
Treasury-Post Once Departments
1858 money bill has been ap-
proved by the House without Mr..
Jensen trying to attach his rider.
Mr.. JenSen's decision to sponsor
his amendment again this year
caused dismay among Federal per-
sonnel officials. who declared that
the 1853 independent Offices money
bill, as reported by the House Ap-
preparations Committee. IL severe

The committees bill before the
House, in addition to the person.
mel cuts, also would force all Fed
eral employees in every department
and agency In Government to use
all Of their 1852 annual leave by
June 80, 1858, or lose 1t. And it
would cut the travel, printing and
binding and communications ex-|
penses Of the independent bureausl

as keeping up with the returns of
the Minnesota voting. The gen.
eral made no comment. Aides
took him the dispatches from tele-
printers installed in his headquar-
ters and delivered them to the

One reporter. the Associated
Press said, asked whether Gen.
Eisenhower would regard the
Minnesota primary vote as the
"clear-cut call to political duty
he has said must come before he
will leave his job as NATO SUI
preme commander and return to
this country to campaign.
II doubt the general will have
anything to say on that subject
today" q high-ranking officer re-
piled.
In Washington, Senator Thye,
Republican, Of Minnesota said the
strong write-in vote for Gen.
would not make him
swing his support from Mr..
Stassen to the general. He re-
fused further comment until all
the returns are in.

He said the ratification vote
should come this week and that he
felt the Senate had about talked
itself out on the issue. 4
So far the treaty has been COM
mended by about 10 Senator's,
Democrats and Republicans. in
three days Of desultory debate.
There has been so little interest
that at one point yesterday 1t

The only opposition has come
from Senator Jenner, Republican,
Of Indiana, who introduced, with
Senator Margaret Chase Smith,
Republican, of Maine. nine reser-
vations to the treaty and security
pacts. N
Senator Jenller told thss Senate
the reservations would guard
against any surrender OF United

serve congressional power over the
