Double Trouble for the President

ment on the Eisenhower
wares.
The last word has not of
course been said. 1t may be
that the general can be per-
suaded to change his mind
and that Mr.. Eisenhower can
enjoy some weeks Of appear
ing in the role most congenial
to him, working on the only
matters that today really en-
gage his willing attention.
For the cold truth is-it is
known to every person hold
ing high places in Washing
ton-the President is in
creasingly intolerant Of the
drip-drip-drip Of daily oper-
ations. They are especially
wearing and even irritating
right now while the massive
budget is being put into final
form.
It is the dedicated effort Of
the Eisenhower staff to keep
his desk clear and the pres
sures of conflicting interests
away from their chief. They
are aided and abetted by his
doctors who watch his dis
position as carefully as they
do his blood pressure.
But when the President is
in residence in Washington,
the temptation to take mat
ters to him for decision in
evitably proves too great for
many Government officials.
Nor can he remain here long
without activity; 1t would be
too hard on him and too no
ticeable. The resort to q
change of scene has been ar
increasing feature of his
presidency for some time.
