OF Mr.. Humans tenure in Of
fee from 1916 to 1852. One
would like to be able to consider
it as a deflnitive account of what
went on in the top echelon OF
the Government during those
years, of the behind the-scenes
happenings and considerations
that went into high policy de-
ciSions and actions.
Unfortunately that is not the
case in Mr.. Trurnan's writings,
as perhaps it never is with men,
oirS of any kind. This is Mr.
Truman's personal record and
his own justification for what
his administration did Or failed
to do. While informative and
engaging, and certainly contro-
versial as Mr.. Truman always
manages to be, it is suspect on
many counts as objective writ
ing. Here is Mr.. Truman at his
Treasured best.
Since this is another presi-
dental election year, the reader
will find Mr.. Humans disserta-
tons on politics and politicians,
and generals turned politicians,
of timely interest, even taking
into consideration the partisan
stand from which the former
President writes,
Comment on Eisenhower
Mr.. Truman once was said to
have assured General Eisen-
hover of his support for any Of
flee including the presidency.
Over the years he apparently
changed his mind.
II am inclined to think" he
writes, that if had announced
very early in 1850 or 1851 that
intended to carry the fight my
self General Eisenhower
would not have been the Repub-
lican candidate - and perhaps
not the President. I hold to that
opinion because I am sure Mr..
Eisenhower in 1852 thought that
he would have no fight for the
election and that perhaps the
Democrats would nominate him
also"
One can only wonder now
about Mr.. Humans opinion in
the light of Mr.. Eisenhower's
decision to seek a second term
in the face of certain opposition
and the handicap of his Septem-
Der "a heart attack.
Mr.. Truman recites with
engaging frankness the man
euvering that went on before
the 1852 Democratic National
Convention settled on Adlai
Stevenson as the nominee-and
takes unto himself the major
credit for Mr.. Stevenson's win
ming the nomination. Before the
final swing to Mr.. Stevenson,
however, Mr.. Truman reveals
how the White House group had
offered their support to Vice
President Alben Barley.

big executive planes come and
go. These are the planes which
corporation presidents use and
are tax-deductible because they
are used for "sales" purposes
and also for entertainment.
You see one of these executive
kites arrive. In it are four big,
soft chairs and a well-stocked
bar. A big black sedan rolls
across the field and parks right
beside the little door.
The pilot opens the door and
out steps the corporation presi-

Speeds Photography
One Of the advantages Of the
new telescope, its projectors say,
is that it will make possible
much faster star photography.
With the 200-inch, exposures
of as long as half an hour are
necessary to get any image at
all OF extremely faint objects.
With the much greater amount
of light which will be available
with the image converter, any
picture which can be taken at
all will require exposure of only
a fraction of second.
This will be OF especial sig
nificance in photography of
nearby objects, such as the much
observed planet Mars during it's
recent close approach to the
earth. Involved here is a second
major drawback of conventional
telescopes. The stars will not
stand still. They twinkle. This
apparent movement is not due
to any nervous twitching of the
star itself but to the turbulence
of the earth's atmosphere
through which its light must
pass. The result is the same,
however, as would be that of
the movement of any object be-
ing photographed with an or
binary camera. The picture is
blurred. Finer details are OBJ
scured.

AN OLD STORY

History may be about to re-
peat itself for the National
Woman's Party. Ever-expand-
ing government construction
on Capitol Hill has already
demolished one historic build
ing which housed its headquar-
tiers. The same encroaching
force may soon evict the party
from another historic site.
Though it let the march Of
events take its course the first
time. the Woman's Party is
struggling now 10 stop history
in it's tracks, or at least defect
its path.
The National Woman's Party
is, of course, the same party
which led and won the militant
struggle for women's suffrage
IS years ago. It's the group
which now lobbies, far unsuc-
cessfully, for a Constitutional
amendment guaranteeing wom-
ems equal rights IN all fields.
Public records by the ton
amply document this work of
the National Woman's Party.
Not so well known is the
story Of the party's long strug-
gle to preserve for future gen.
erations the historic home of
it's present headquarters. It
has just held off for the sec
