A group Of Democratic leaders
from Virginia met privately here
last night with the campaign
manager Of Adlai Stevenson for
the purpose Of discussing 1856
plans of the presidential candi-

number of prominent State
leaders to the dinner at Metro

admit reporters.
There was no immediate an

attended or what decisions, II
any, were made.

The New Hampshire primary
is 40 years old.
It was in New Hampshire, in
1948. that the name Of Dwight
D. Eisenhower was first injected
in the political picture. Admirers
entered full slate OF delegates
for him. He asked them to with
draw and they did.
/ But four years later the State
gave him a resounding indorse-

preme commander of NATO in

: Nor was there indication that
the presidential ONCE was killing
Abraham Lincoln, although Of
all the Presidents he faced the
most terrible situation, growing
out of civil war. An assassin's
bullet ended his life, as his Sec
ond four-year term was getting
under way.
Herbert Hoover went through
q most trying four years in the
White House. due to the imam
cial crash in 1929. and the en-
suing depression. It did not

he is q male and hearty 80 years
old today.
Wilson Stroke Cited
Woodrow Wilson suffered q
stroke Of paralysis during his
second term, but he recovered
and lived beyond that term. His
case more nearly than any other
may be traceable to oyerwork.
He suffered q heart-breaking de-
feat when the Senate failed to
accept the League of Nations
Covenant as he wished 1t. and
he was stricken when he took
the stump in an appeal to the
people.

written in recent months about

considered to ease the burden of

mind. This may be necessary to
enable a President to give more
time to major problems-but ap-
parently it Is not necessary to
take work from a President to
keep him alive.
Nixon Kept Busy
Vice President Nixon has been
kept very busy by the many tasks
turned over to him by the Presi-
dent. and some by law. He
seems to have thrived, instead
of being dragged down. No one
has yet suggested that the Vice
President should have an assist
ant vice president-although for
mer President Hoover proposed
the President should be given
an administrative vice presi-
dent" to whom he could turn
over a good many of the prob
lens in the various governmental
agencies.

the vice presidency as a killing

Senator Ellender, Democrat Of
Louisiana, renewing his predic-
ton that the Senate will approve
rigid price supports as part Of
the new farm bill. expressed
hope last night that President
Eisenhower will permit it to-
become law"
This is an election year and
it is extremely difficult to pre-
dict what the President will do"
Senator Ellender said in speech
recorded for radio.
The Louisiana Senator said
Mr.. Eisenhower's rejection Of
the natural gas bill was "a po-
litical veto" that cast reflection
over the Senate.
Implication Plain
THE Presidents implication
was plain" he said. "He implied
that the (gas) bill was passed
because INSCRIPTIONS and self
seeking individuals expended

ing for its passage"
That some persons interested

money than Judgment is beyond

adding that special lobbying

ate should get all facts.
AS floor manager for the con-

Ellender will ask Senate leaders

bate so as to assure q final vote
before the week ends.

IHree OLnerS were aSSdSSAIAdtcu.
VIGOROUSLY the vice presiden-
tial Office has been rated a soft
job, and the presidency tough
one. Perhaps the doctors are
right, after all. when they say
work does not kill. Under the
Constitution, the Vice President
is president and presiding officer
of the Senate. Around the Sem
ate. everyone speaks to him as
"Mr. President" Except to sit
around and wait, that Is the only
office a Vice President has. I'M
less a President calls on him to
do odd jobs.
Great Listening Post
When a Vice President has lis
tened to the Senate as long as
he thinks he should, or as long
as he can, he calls on one Of the
Senators to take the chair.
Thomas Riley Marshall Of Indi-
ana, Vice President in the Wood
row Wilson administration, once
described himself as the great
est listener since the Sphinx sat
itself down in the Lybian desert. "
Like the Sphinx. Vice Presidents
are speechless-in the Senate.
The Vice Presidents who have
died in Office were George Clin-
ton, Vice President under Thomas
Jefferson and then James Madi-
son; Elbridge Gerry, who served
with James Monroe: William r.
King. with Franklin Pierce;
Henry Wilson, with q. s. Grant;
Thomas A. Hendricks, with Gro
yer Cleveland; Garret A. Hobart,
with william Mckinley, and
James S. Sherman, with William
Howard Taft.
The four Presidents who died
Of natural causes while In Office
were William Henry Harrison,
Zachary Taylor, Warren G. Har-
ding and Franklin d. Roosevelt.
Burden Of Work
OF the four, only Franklin d.
Roosevelt had a terrific burden
of work. He had an amazing
record, however. He was the
most disabled man ever to start
a presidential term. At the same
time. he started his career in the
White House with the country
in a depression of spectacular
depths, and he closed it in the
midst of World War II. Yet Mr..
Roosevelt. despite infantile pa
ralysis. served in the White
House IL years and almost 8
months longer period than
any other President. He was GA
years old when he died April IL.
