to Dwight D. Eisenhower, it seems
to me the little amusing things
come to mind as readily as the
Notwithstanding events-little anec-
dotes that never reached print.
For instance, we lost a presi-
Dental valet in Rio de Janeiro
one night and it held up the Chief
Executives departure As minutes.
It's easy to get lost in Rio, espe-
cially on a first visit. A wide
search turned up the valet after
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
sailed, but he was rushed to FDR's
cruiser by launch.
Knowing the late Presidents
affection for the old Negro, I
doubt whether the missing gentle
mans man ever wound up in the
brig.
AS q cub my first assignment
with President Warren G. Harding
was at an international polo
match on the White House EllipSe.
It was a double first" for me
for had never seen a polo game
and I had to cover that, too
with the help, fortunately, of a
seasoned sports writer who told
me about chukkers and mallets.
Steak for Breakfast
Then there was a train riue
with President Calvin Coolidge to
the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial.
An historic event, true, but
hardly remember anything about
it except watching the taciturn
New Highlander enjoy a steak for
breakfast on the diner. I believe
there were some pancakes, too.
There was a Speech-making tour
with President Herbert Hoover,
but I win never forget telephone
call to my home that stopped me
in the middle of trimming q
Christmas tree. There was moth
ing much amusing about this
event. The office said the White
House was on fire. I got there
when water was about a foot deep
in the west wing. which was nearly
Quilted by the blaze.
A trip to Fort Bragg, N. C. with
President Harry s. Truman to
watch a mass Army parachute
drop introduced me to covering
presidential trips by plane. I'll
take the train any day. 1 had to
write my story almost before see
ing the show since Mr.. Truman
took off before the last man hit
the dirt.
incidentally, to cover presidents
and national campaigns success
fully, a man must have extensive
Journalistic training plus the
stamina Of a mule.
The Kennedy Poce
Lacking the latter, sympathize
with reporters these days who fit
around the nation and the world
covering President John F. Ken
nedy. A trip I took with Mr..
Roosevelt in 1886 to Buenos Aires
and return required % days by
Navy cruiser. FDR touched four
countries, made speeches and at
tended receptions. Mr.. Kennedy in
his Jet would have made the same
sort Of journey in week, kept all
the engagements, and shaken more
hands.

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Today's
favorite recipe for political cake
making calls for a candidate who
is youthful. bright, personable.
with a sixth sense for politics, a
photogenic wife, a good war rec
ord. and lot Of money in the
bank.
Add organization, hard work
and party harmony. Then bake
in a hot campaign.
The result, If all goes we'll, is
a victory dish, shaped like
the White House or a State cap
itol.
william Warren Scranton, the
Republican Governor elect of
Pennsylvania is a recent and
striking example of the efficacy
of this formula. He has all the
aforementioned assets in abun-
dant measure. plus some others
business experience, a record Of
community service. and an ex-
posure to politics that began at
age 8.
Noteworthy Victory
Mr.. Scranton's victory over
Democrat Richardson Dilworth in
Pennsylvania last month is note
worthy on several counts:
l. 1t came only two years after
his first successful bid for cleo
tive office. He won a seat in Con-
greSs in 1860.
2. In both elections, he swan
against the political tide in
Pennsylvania. Ten years ago,
Republican. registration there
topped the Democrats by about
a million; today, the G. o. P. is
the minority party by some
100000. In 1860, his district voted
heavily for John F. Kennedy
for President, but elected Mr..
Scranton to Congress by 1900.
Against Mr.. Dilworth, Mr.. Scran-
ton rolled up a total vote of
2,387,000 and a plurality of
474,000.
This indicates that he pulled
votes from Democrats and in
dependents - which is what the
next Republican candidate for
President must do, in chunks, to
beat Kennedy in 1864.
A Factor in 1864
Consequently, the man who
was a freshman Congressman
only two years ago is now a fac
tor In Republican considerations
about the next nominee for the
White House.
Mr.. Scranton is aware of this.
But he brushes it aside with the
stock answer. There are too
many problems in Pennsylvania.
I have to stick to my knitting"
Nevertheless, like clocking the
performance of a promising q
year-old, G.. o. P. railbirds will
be watching him with an eye to
the "a sweepstakes. So put your
elbows on the rail and take a
close look at Bill Scranton.
He is As but looks younger, a
wiry, athletic 6-footer. He has
dark eyes, dark hair tinged with
gray. a firm chin, and an
incandeScent smile. His manner
is relaxed and easy-moving. But
when he talks policy, politics and
Pennsylvania. his features light
up with animation. He is articu-
late, talks incisively. seldom has
to reach for word.
1t all adds up to charm-in
warehouse lots.
He swims, plays tennis and
flies airplanes. His reading tastes
run to history Che was a history
major at Yale) and politics, even
political novels. He is careless
about clothes. He doesn't smoke,
and he gave up the Freedmen
cocktail last March 8 when he
was campaigning. 1T slowed
me up too much" he says.
His forebearers were Million
aires and he estimates his own
fortune at around So or SO mil
linn

ten years added a total of $32
billion to House appropriation
bills, and succeeded in keeping
$22 billion of that amount in
conference.
Senators also point to the
speech Mr.. Cannon made in the
House on adjournment day, in
which he summed up the dispute
this way:
1--WE had a little controversy
with the Senate some time ago in
changing the obsolete. antiquated
machinery in order to discourage
the habit Of the Senate Of adding
unwarranted sums to House APP
preparation bills"
The hose Committee had ar
gued earher that the practice OF
allowing Senators to preside at
all conferences gave the Senate
some advantage in compromising
differences. The Senators disputed
this, pointing out that each con-
fierce has only one vote and that
the only function Of the chair
man Is to fix the time for meet
ing.
A final tabulation for the ses-
sion shows that, despite all the
pickering, the appropriation bills
turned out about as they always
have in the past-with the two
houses splitting the difference on
most money items.
Senate Roised TotoI
For all the bills the House rec
commended a total Of $9l.2 bill
lion. The Senate raised this total
TO $685. billion. In conference the
House accepted about half Of the
increases. making the total finally
appropriated 1922 billion. Even
with the Senate increases. this
total was S46 billion under the
total asked for by the Budget
Bureau.
The 1922 figure does not include
interest on the public debt, which
is a permanent authorization. and
is estimated at $9.4 billion for this
fiscal year. Allowing for this and
other fixed obligations, the total
spending authority will exceed
$l02 billion.
In the closing hours Of the ses-
sion the Senators won a substan-
tial victory on tkgc issue OF their
right TO amend Appropriation bills.

IT ADDS UP TO POLITICAL
Mr.. Scrantons Considerable Assets

to $4,000 Republicans. Yet he won
by $1,000.
Again this year. when he was
offered the gubernatorial nomi-
nation, he refused. Again he said
he liked his job in Congress.
When Dwight D. Eisenhower per-
sonally took a hand, and 66 of
the 81 county chairmen agreed
on Scranton, he went into the
lists against Mr.. Dilworth.
Mr.. Scranton's voting record in
Congress is interesting and, po-
tentially, of immense importance
in the national political picture.
Neither Of the stock labels,
conservative" or liberal" fits
him exactly.
He voted for the bill to raise
the minimum wage TO SIPS, for
legislation to liberalize benefits
in social security, for a bill to
increase the membership of the
House Rules Committee.
Supported Peace Corps
He also supported the admin
istration in the vote on estab-
fishing the Peace Corps. He called
for more effective use of foreign
aid funds, but then voted for the
bill.
He introduced a number Of
bills himself. among them an
amortization measure designed to
attract industry to labor surplus
areas by allowing them a fast
tax write = off on plant invest
ment.
On the general subject of well
fare programs, he says he is q
pragmatist, adding, you have to
re-look at the existing program
frequently. We're going to have
to do that in Pennsylvania"
His position on questions Of
fiscal policy. he says. is largely
conditioned by deep study of the
Great Depression Of the 1905.
He says it led him to several
conclusions
I'm convinced that we didn't
get out Of the depression by def
icit spending. Constant deficit
spending was deterrent to real
economic growth.
"You only have real growth in
a free enterprise system when you.
have a sound fiscal system. So 1t
concerns me when an admins
tration tries to solve economic
problems with deficit spending.
That's not the answer"
Mr.. Scranton says President
Kennedy's major mistake" in
the past 10 months or so was
in the fiscal area.
He should have cut down on
the Federal Government and bal
anced the budget. I don't mean
that lot of the demands weren't
things we should have-but not
at that time, with an unfavorable
balance of international pay
ments, and gold flowing out Of
the country"
Views on Toxes -
Would he have cut taxes?
II would have cut back on pro-
jects, first" he says.
This is fairly orthodox con-
servatiSm, economically.
But on civil rights. he says II
am apt to be very liberal on
civil rights. America Is terribly
far behind in reaching a solution
to this problem. I'm against the
policy Of 'containment' in our big
cities. 1t is anti-C Christian, among
other things"
1t appears, from all this, that
neither wing of the Republican
Party can claim Scranton. If he
fits anywhere, it seems to be
smack in the middle of the road.
AS the Governor. he will 60 to
the 1864 convention at the head
of a powerful delegation. There
were 70 Pennsylvania delegates,
each with one vote, two years
ago. And as Governor. he will
WELD tremendous patronage
power - some $4,000 State Jobs.
This should go a long way toward
building discipline in his party
and his delegation.

Mr.. Cannon had prevented the
$500 million last supplemental
money bill from going to confer
ence. partly because the Senate
had added TO 1t several public
works projects which the House
conferees had refused to accept
on the regular public works bill.
House leaders, anxious TO get
Congress adjourned so that mem
bers would have a little time left
for campaigning before election
day. went along with the Sen
ators by putting these disputed
projects back into the public works
bill.
Supplemented Bills
But the last supplemental bill
died In the House as a result OF
this controversy. leaving many
agencies TO wait until January for
funds to augment their regular
budgets. 1t is q safe guess that
most Of this supplemental money
will be appropriated early In
January.
One Senator has suggested that
the revival Of that supplemental
bill in January will provide the
first evidence of whether the cold
war between the twb,nommitt>es
melted any during the secess.

One Of the questions here is
whether the cold war which went
on between House and Senate APP
preparations Committees most of
this year will be resumed in the
new Congress in January.
1t is too early to look for the
answer. Only one thing seems
certain that time itself is the
only healing agent at work during
the recess.
There was talk at one time of
having each committee name a
small group to study procedure
for the future, but this step has
not been taken. AS of now there
are no negotiations in prospect
to try TO establish better rela-
tons between the committees.
For about a hundred years prior
to 1862, appropriation bills orig
mated In the House. but all Joint
conferences with the Senate were
held on the Senate side of the
building with Senator presiding.
The feuding began last Febru-
airy when Chairman Cannon Of
the House Committee informed
Chairman Hayden OF the Senate
Committee that the House group
wanted half OF the conferences
held on the House side. Later 1t
was proposed that a House men,
Der preside at half OF the Joint
meetings.
Originating the Bills
The Senator's responded by sug-
gesting that II they we're going
to abandon one time-honored
custom, the House should
abandon another tradition by
permitting the Senate TO originate
half Of the bills.
During nine months OF verbal
fencing the House steadfastly re-
fused 10 yield on its right to
originate all the bills. But, after
the stalemate had blocked all ac-
ton on the money bills from April
to July, the Senator'S accepted
compromise making some con-
cessions TO the House on the pro-
cedure for holding conferences.
It was agreed that the con-
ferees on each bill would pick
their own chairman when they
meet. and that the meetings be

and Peter, 8.
Mr.. Scranton's political lineage
goes back 800 years. One of his
ancestors was Burgess of Gull
ford, Conn, in 1887. Two others
served in the United States House
Of Representatives in the 10th
century.
He grew up breathing politics.

Margery Scranton, was a power

than Is years. State committee
woman, Observation-Disclosures
and national committee vice presi-

Unusual Bedtime Stories
A friend Of the family says she
began her sons education in
politics when he was 9. Instead Of
telling him bedtime Stories" he
said, "she used to hand Bill a map
of Pennsylvania, then read reports
of the county chairmen."
Mr.. Scranton entered Yale in
1885. He became a columnist on
the yale News" Even as an I'M
dergraduate he was an inter-
nationalist, as evidenced by this
fragment from a 1888 column:
