Mr. President Offers Yes and NO Answers to Question:
Will Truman Retire to Become Elder Statesman?

book. he, himself, in his retreat
at Key West is manifestly
pondering the confusing party
situation that corrfronts him,
for which he called National
Chairman Frank e. Mckinney
into consultation.
Through circumstances, some
partly beyond his control, it has
become complicated. One view
point at the Capitol is that he
has watched developments with
out too great concern, feeling
confident that he can bring some
order out Of the situation in due
time.
There are now four recog-
nized candidates for the nomi-
nation-Senator Richard B.
Russell Of Georgia, representing
the "Old South; Senator Estes
Kefauver Of Tennessee. symbol
Of the New South" and its pro-
gressive elements numerous
among rank and file and clearly
with a national appeal; Gov.
Adlai Stevenson Of Illinois, rep
resenting progressivism in the
party generally. and Senator
Robert II. Kerr Of Oklahoma
who is trying to build a nucleus
Of strength In the Southwest
and Midwest. and who is con-
Quoting the most highly financed
presidential campaign among
Democrats
The President could do moth
ing about Senator Russell's
entry and has carefully avoided
any criticism in that quarter.
Nor could he do anything
about Seantor Kefauver's en-
try. though he might have
avoided Chairman McKinney's
fumbling In New Hampshire
and otherwise In handling this
obviously popular figure. Gov.
Stevenson is in the picture
chiefly because the President Is
attracted to him as q candidate.
and not at all by his own in
itiative. Oil-and-gas-man Kerr
somehow got the impression he
was Q White House favorite
from an incident which, ac-
cording to the story, occurred
on the Presidents yacht when

Chief Justice Fred M. vinson

versation. In which the Chief

No Critic Was Ever Met HALLWAY
Trunon's Urge for Standardization Transforms Book
Into Controversial Historical Document $50

President Truman's urge for
self expression and self-justi-
flcation Is now amply on view
in the William Hillman book,
"Mr. President"
It must have agreeably sur
prised Mr.. Hillman when he
uncovered it early in his nego-
tiations with the President. It
has transformed what would
have been just another picture
book about the White House
into a controversial historical
document that certainly should
be a best seller.
Whose fault Is 1t that Mr..
Truman was so dissatisfied with
the portrait Of him afforded by
the various channels Of public
information during his presi-
dency?
This is at least one opinion
that it is largely his own fault
for tolerating the suspicious
mediocrity of the Truman staff.
In this respect, among others,
the President has been badly
served Throughout his tenure
both by his press Office and by
other. aides.
They did more than keep him
from an easy informality, If not
intimacy, with the great num-
bers Of writer's and commenta-
tors with whom it is not too Diff
f1cult in Washington to develop
mutually helpful friendships Of
convenience. Most of the Tru-
man circle-with some honor
able exceptions-have been be-
1ittlers and what the Irish call
"ferninsters."
No critic was ever met halfway
nor any attempt made to dis
arm him. Information tending

DenioIs Of News Story Recalled
Byrnes Should Refresh His Memory About Deterior
Relations With President After Visit to Moscow

the Secretary Of State also
stated Some weeks ago some
newspapers published q story
that I had resigned and you
had selected q successor. You
stated 1t was untrue. It certainly
was untrue. because we never
discussed this subject. I pre-
sumo these papers viii now
state that their story was true.
but I cannot be deferred from
doing what I believe TO be right
simply because 1t may give the
appearance Of truth TO that
which is false"
What determined Mr.. Tru.
man to accept MIR. Byrnes'
resignation nine months later
is not revealed in Mr.. Hillman's
book. Gov. Byrnes has never
mentioned publicly whether he
had learned by the middle Of
April. when he rendered his res
ignation for the first time, that
there was more substance than
he thought at first In this re-
porter's story and whether he
had found out that the Chief
Executive had intended to pull
the rug from under his feet.
His continuance in office under
such conditions must have been
caused by his feelings Of respon-
sibility to the Nation. In the
spring and summer Of l946 we
were engaged in negotiation to
conclude peace treaties with
Italy and the present Balkan
satellites of Russia. It was
then hoped that their signature
with the adherence Of the
u. 8. s. r. might brighten up
the hopes for peace.

Is: Look who's talking.
