Doris FIeeson-

The most popular Democrat
In the United States is beyond
question Margaret Truman.
She is the center of attraction
at every party gathering she
attends and she is better known
as a personality than any OF
the political candidates.
Mrs. Roosevelt has her
unique place in the world and
it is above party. She has been
a party politician and recon-
mends it to women who really
care about influencing the
course Of events. Only her
oldest friends, however, and
her family any longer suggest
that she do party chores, and
then she rarely assents, feeling
that the United Nations must
be her final contribution to
public affairs. .....
The great bulk of her party
puts her on a pedestal and does
not ask her to step down from
it. It is a rather Wry testi-
monial to her potential in
huence that the opposition still
is wary of her. ~-...

fact for months. that the Pres
ident would refuse to run for
a second term. You are told
confidentially and authorita-
lively by those who are sure
they know that the President
has had enough, that one term
will be plenty. Is there, how
ever. a chance that the Pres
ident, instead of wanting to
quit. may see his job as a chal-
lenge, even if he doesn't like it,
and buckle down to it and look
forward to trying for a second
term to finish it off properly?
We don't know, of course.
But 1t is interesting. even If
not necessarily indicative. to
consider another case-and q
recent one. too.
It is that of Harry S. Tr,l-
man. You may have forgotten,
but Mr.. Truman was most un-
happy in the presidency for
many months after he stepped
into 1t on the death of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, even though
he had spent his whole life in
politics. He was very sorry for
himself and would complain
out loud and publicly that he
had never wanted the job in
the first place.
His rating on DR.. Gallup's
popularity chart went way
down, you may recall. When
the 1946 congressional election
campaign came around, he
stayed out of it completely
by choice of Democratic can
didates who wanted to run on
their own and have no associa-
ton with the President and
party leader. They felt that
would hurt them with the
voters who were. at the time,
irritated with wartime con-
trolls that were still imposed,
particularly with meat con-
trolls. They never mentioned
the Presidents name. He was
the forgotten man." They
went back to running on
Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was
in his grave.
But then something hap
pened to Harry Truman. He
got his back up. He got it up a
notch more when dissident ele-
ments of his own party plotted
to ditch him in 1948 and run
some one else. Among candi-
dates mentioned was Gen. Ell
senhower. In June, just before
the l948 convention, the Presi-
dent took a trip across the
country. On that he found

The presidential campaign
Of, 1856 begins this week-and
it starts with a handicap i'm
posed on the Democratic
Party by its own leaders
which, before the next session
Of Congress is many weeks
old, they will probably regret.
The Republicans. If they are
alert about 1t, will not fail to
take advantage of what may
prove to have been a big
political blunder by their
opponents.
Both Representative Ray
burn Of Texas and Senator
Lyndon johnson of Texas, the
leaders of the Democratic
Party in the House of Repre-
senatives and the Senate, re-
spectively, joined during the
congressional campaign in a
statement pledging that their
party would, in the main. sup
port the legislative program
and foreign policy of President
Eisenhower. Indeed. the Dem
ocrats, as a part Of their
campaign tactics, boasted that
the Democrats had supported
Gen. Eisenhower on the i'm
portant roll-call votes of the
last session of Congress more
than did the members of his
own party. Actually this argu-
ment didn't measure up on
statistical examination, but 1t
seemed a good way to keep
those admirers of Gen. Eisen-
hover who had been Demo-
Gratis but who voted for him
in 1852 from voting the Re-
publican ticket in the con-
gressional elections this year.
Now, however, the pledge re-
mains a matter of record. and
the President will be in a
position to hold the Demo-
cratic Party accountable for
its fulf1llment. Again and
again, as Gen. Eisenhower
seeks supporting votes in Con-

Democrats of their campaign
promise. If they attempt to
wriggle out of it or if they

In the wake of one national
election it is human to specu-
late about the next. There's
one every two years.
You find a lot of curiosity
about President Eisenhower's
plans for 1856.
Usually it is taken for
granted that a President ex-
poets to run for a second term,
that is in normal circum-
stances We have in our pres
ent Chief Executive, however,
a departure from the normal.
He did not get to the White
House after a career in prac-
tical politics, moving gradually
UP the ladder. He represents
a special case. He was drafted
from ar entirely different
background and experience
where the rules are not the
same as they are in politics,
nor is the atmosphere. nor,
in fact. is much of ANYTHING
the same.
To begin with. Gen. Eisen-
hover was a reluctant candi-
date for the Republican NOM
ination. He yielded finally in
1852 after refusing four years
previously In one of the most
persuasive essays ever written
lin q letter to a newspaper
editor-as to why politics is
for those trained in politics.
Politics, he said in 1948. was
a profession of It's own, "a no.
BILE profession" and one, he
said in effect. in which he had
no business since he had spent
his whole mature life in some
thing else. But he changed his
mind.
He did. indeed, find it DIFF
ferent when he got into a fight
for the nomination-Whlch ne
hadn't expected-and into the
campaign and, eventually tri-
umphant, into the White House.
He has had a hard time ad-
justing himself and still is not
Settled in" comfortably. He
finds the front-window role Of
politics somewhat frustrating.
AS he indicated. for example.
when he blurted out after his
final appeal for people to go
to the polls in the congress
sional election:
"By golly, sometimes you get
tired of all that clackety-
clack."
He had just come out Of one

this Robert Montgomery, the
actor and producer. has given
us the formula. You could get
Mrs. Eisenhower's point when
she added for herself:
"I felt like q stuffed toad"
Yet. though no politician
and evidently with a distaste
for politics, the President
threw himself into this years
national campaign more wholly
and actively than any pred
ecesSor ever had in an off,

tive was the folksy style Of
campaigning from the back of
a train-later dubbed whistle

Taft of Ohio-which he once
had used in Missouri but had
abandoned as President for the
more stiff and formal platform
appearances urged by his pro-
tective advisers. He was re-
nominated at the convention
soon after he got back and.
though given no chance by the
experts, defeated Gov. Dewey
In November.
That is the story of one man
who rose to the challenge.

Buchanan can point TO a re-
markable record of helping
the disabled people get back

two years of the clinics op-
Grafton it cared for about
1000 patients. Approximately
so per cent of these left the

Another 81 per cent were able
to get along without the full

not be OveremphaSized.
That is why DR.. Buchanan's

The small staff of thera-
pistS shares DR.. Buchanans
belief that they don't need
elaborate, expensive equip
ment to do a thorough reha-
bilitation job. They have
fashioned therapeutic gadg-
cts from common pieces of
hardware.

construction and the original
church for the six hundred mem
bers of the congregation. It was
erected in 1870. 1t also contains
