Fleet Admiral Leohy, at 79,
Holds Keen Look of War Years
Fewer Calls From
President Now, but
He's on Deck Eurly
By George Kennedy

The face was familiar. It
hadn't changed at all. The man
was Fleet Admiral William D.
Leahy, the elder military states
man. The occasion was his 18th
birthday-today.
He wasn't making anything of
it. He was in his Office in the old
Navy Department building at
Constitution avenue and Seven
teenth street NV. and he had
been there since $3.50 am.
He looked just the same. Most
newspaper readers would recog-
nize him from the front-page
pictures of the war period, arriv-
ing here and there with Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt. or
standing behind the Big Three
at Teheran, Yalta and Potsdam.
Age has not withered the one
and only Chief of Staff to the
Commander-in Chief (the Pres
ident). He was more than a
middle-age man when he was
assigned to the position that be-
gan and ended with his tenure.
And he still looks the same.
Fewer Calls Now.
What is he doing now? Well.
it's the same as when he left
the White HouSe-he is to do
anything the President asks him.
And what is that?
"He doesn't ask. me to do any,
thing" the admiral says. He
thought that one over. "Oh.
once in a while he asks me some
thing about the war. but his
memory is as good as mine"
1t was right across the street,
in the building now occupied by
the Atomic Energy Commission,
that Admiral Leahy used to pre-
side over the Combined Chiefs
of Staff, the representatives of
the British and American mill
tary services that ran the war
in the West.
The admiral's Office was in the
White House; he had a stateroom
m preSiHnOt P0OSavnlt'S rrivate
railroad car. He continued in
the same relationship through
Truman's first term and then
resigned because of i'll health.
Pictures on Wall.

Office are pictures of Admiral

son. who was head of the Naval
Affairs Committee of the House
during the war; Gov. James F.
Byrnes, the round table at the
Potsdam Conference and two
pictures of "the gang that used
to go to Key West with President
Truman"
Admiral Leahy is under doc
tors orders. He has undergone
surgery and is still getting anti
germ pills. for q kidney infec-
ton. The physicians don't want,
him to go too far from Wash
ington, but he hopes to get to
his home town, Ashland, Wis,
this summer. when it celebrates
its centenary and honors it's most
distinguished son.
He has a son, Navy Capt. Will
liam H. Leahy. who Is stationed
at Norfolk: a grandson. a grand
daughter, and two great-grand-
daughters. Mrs. Leahy died when
he was wartime Ambassador to
Vichy. the capital of unoccupied
France.
Together in 1913.
It is easy to understand how
31-year-old Assistant Secretary
of the Navy Franklin D. Roose-
welt, who was seven years his
junior, put all his trust in Ad-
miral Leahy. That was in 1918.
Through a circumstance favor
able to both. Leahy. then a COM
mander, was the skipper of the
Dolphin, the Navy Secretary's
dispatch boat. Josephus Daniels
was the Secretary. Roosevelt
loved to go to sea, and he made
several voyages on the Dolphin.
The admiral reminisced on
what an attractive young man
Roosevelt was-buoyant, charm
ing. vigorous. This was about 10
years DeIOfe ne was stricken with
POLIO
"He had a lot of naval lore"
the admiral said, land a good
naval library. He knew more
about small boat sailing than I
did. ! was out with him several
times at his summer place,
Campobello. He knew the Navy
people. He would sometimes con-
suit me about them, but he made
up his own mind.
Il didn't agree with everything
he did politically Cthe admiral
was referring here to their later
relationship. One time he said
to me. Bill. you don't know any,
thing about politics. I said, Mr..
President. that's the finest COM
pliment you've ever paid me- It
didn't make him mad. knew it
wouldn't"

EDUCATION WEEK
SET FOR NOV.
rs. BY M. :. 4.

The 34th annual observance of
American Education Week is an
nounced for November 7-13, 1854,
by its sponsors, the Montana Educa-
ton Association, the National Edu-
cation Association, the American Lee
gion, the U. S. Office of Education,
and the National Congress of Par
ents and Teachers.
The central theme, Good Schools
Are YOUR Responsibility, is, in
effect, lesson assignment for every
citizen. Also, some of the daily topics
for AEW this YEAR emphasize every
ones personal responsibility for good
schools: "Ideals To Live By, "Teach-
ers for Tomorrow, Investing In
Good Schools, "Working Together
for Good Schools, ssEffective Citi-
zenship', Teaching the Fundament-
ais Today, and GLOW Good Are
Your Schools?"
During American Education Week
the nations schools extend a special
invitation to the public to visit class
rooms-to see the schools in action
| The sponsors estimate that in 1854
20 million people will accept thai
invitation. Millions more will learr
about their schools through news
paper and magazine features, radio
and television programs, displays and
demonstrations, and special commu-
nifty programs and activities.
Wishing for good schools is not
enough" declares Karl w. Erickson,
president, Montana Education Asso-
citation. Communities have good
schools when the people want them
enough to take an interest in them,
to work for them, to cooperate with
them. American Education Week is
an appropriate time to re-examine
the educational program of your COM
munity. What is your school doing
best? Can it do some things better?
To help your school, you need to be
well-informed about it."

However, the 1913 campaign =
rough though it was = was a picnic
compared to this years about effort
by the cold guard" to wrest Murray's
senatorial toga from his shoulders.
For ten days preceding election, mon
ey flowed like water from some indis-
cernable source for radio and TV
time; for large newspaper adver-
tisements in the press of the state.
Half truths, whispers, falsehoods
were circulated by word of mouth
and by printed "throw-aways" and
booklets. Former Democratic Sena-
tor B. K. Wheeler paid an infrequent
visit "back home'', spoke at a lunch
con, over the radio, and visited key
towns of the state in order to help
in the COPS effort to retire the man
who will become chairman of the i'm
portant Senate Interior and Insular
Affairs Committee in the 84th Con
gress.
How much effect the high-powereC
Republican efforts to besmerch Muir
ray as ''fellow traveller" had on the
outcome will never be known, but
political observers credit that phase
of the COP campaign with having
reduced Murray's reelection from
the status of "sure thing" to a
nip-and-tuck affair, the outcome of
which did not become certain until
upwards of Is hours after the polls
closed Tuesday.
Totals from all of Montana's 1904
precincts, according to United Pess,
show Murray, 114,260, to Cong.
D'Ewart's 112,367.
