He told Senator Kennedy
De emocrat Of Massachusetts,
chairman Of the selection CON-
mittee. there are so many to be
considered that I do not see how

The reason the Senate is
limiting the selection to flve is
that there are five untitled inches
on the walls Of the reception
room. just on the Senate cham
ber. The committee is holding
final consultations today, and
expects to announce its list In q
report to the Senate tomorrow
Mr.. Truman cut across party
lines and all periods in making
up his list. He included many of
the men who shaped Senate
policies in the past SO years, as
well as those who stood out in
the history of the early years of
the republic.
The Truman list included such
latter-day Republicans as Robert
A. Taft and Arthur H. Vanden-
berg. He also listed several who
are given a good chance of being
on the chosen list. including
John Quincy Adams, Daniel
Webster, Henry Clay and John
c. Calhoun.
In his letter to Senator Ken
nedy, Mr.. Truman observed that
some Senators were great in the
House before going to the Sem
ate, and several. including John
Quincy Adams. achieved great
ness in the Senate before going
to the House. He expressed the
hope that House leaders will
follow the Senate's example by
starting a similar project.
Mr.. Truman's bluntness and
salty humour crept into his rea-
sons for selecting some of the
men he nominated.
For example. in recommending
Thomas H. Benton. of Missouri,
MIR. Truman pointed out that
this Senator was President
Jackson's floor leader in the
United States Bank fight, and
added:
He and his brother had been
Jackson's enemies in Tennessee,
but he made a statement in the
Senate cloakroom that Is still

am fighting for his program"
In proposing Robert A. Taft,
Mr.. Truman said. 1T is difficult
to judge men effectively in such
close perspective. but he was q
very able Senator and an honor
able man. He believed in and
fought for the conservative ap-
proach to government. His views
on education were sound"

the budget of $7l.8 billion pro-

His budget also takes into
account a proposed 5000 million
increase in revenues through a
boost in postal rates. which con-
greSs might not approve.
While prosperity is continu-
