It May Tate Many Years fo Judge Ike's Stewardship of Country By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) Friday 'was the day the presidency changed hands and Dwight D. Eisenhower's eight years as chief executive moved into the history 'books, his job done and waiting to be judged. What will the judg- be? No matter what, it will be long coming because of the nature of the times. What looked like minor actions may prove to have been great victories, what seemed like major successes may prove to have been the roots of disaster. In the past week Eisenhower tried in several ways to give his own appraisal of his eight years in office.

Yet all he said could be summed up in the words of his predecessor, President Truman, before he left office in 1953. Truman thep, looking back over his own record, recalled an inscription on an Arizona tombstone and said it was the greatest epitaph a man could have or hope for: "He done his damndest." Used Similar Language The two retiring presidents used similar language in summing up what they considered their main achievement: preventing another world war and stopping communism from overrunning the earth. Truman, just a few weeks before he turned the White House over to Eisenhower, pointed to a world globe which Eisenhower had sent him as a present in 1945 and said: "During these eight years, we've kept this old world out of disaster." This week Eisenhower at his last presidential news conference pointed to his firriiness in blocking Communist threats and gambits and picked out as a major accomplishment this: "We have actually stopped many' of these risks (created 'by communism) from becoming realities." Permanent Peace Was Goal Eisenhower called his big disappointment the failure to get to a place "where he could say it now looks as if permanent peace with justice is really in sight." This, of course, was a major disappointment for Truman, too. He not only couldn't get close to peace but, at the moment of his retirement, was fighting the Korean War to keep the Red tide back. The two men's White House careers paralleled each other in several ways.

Truman had the daring and firmness to smash the Communist blockade of Berlin, to intervene to prevent the Russians from gobbling up Greece and Turkey, to go to war in to stop communism in its tracks. The most visibly bold action Eisenhower took was to send troops into Lebanon to stop the Reds from swarming over the Middle East. His firmness no doubt discouraged another Red blockade of Berlin, despite Russian threats. Foreign Aid Continued It was Truman who set up the foreign aid program which Eisenhower continued. It was Truman who created foreign military alliances which Eisenhower not only adopted but expahded'.

Yet, while Truman stopped communism, he could not control events at hdme. By the time he left office the country was split down the middle by McCarthyism. fear of Communists in government, dissension over the Korean War. Eisenhower, a calmer and less cocky and belligerent man, managed to bring peace not only in Korea but at home, too, until, by the time he ran for his second term in 1956, McCarthyism was dead and dissension pretty much healed. Served as Pacifier Perhaps Eisenhower's greatest contribution to the presidency although he didn't mention it was as a kind of national pacifier and a bridge between two vital eras of American history.

By his own cheerfulness he was a force in keeping the country calm, or pretty much so, for eight years. The Communist bloc has been building and hoarding its strengt'i in recent years. It may be confident enough now to try new and far greater adventures than were possible eight years ago. The great unknown factor in! Eisenhower's stewardship is this: Did he do enough to keep abreast of the Russians in missiles and space. He thinks so.

Only history and the years ahead will be able to say yes or no. Dr. Austin J. Mo- Sweeny, 1311 Camden Square, was notified Thursday that he has been elected to the Association of Psychosomatic Medicine, an organization of doctors who treat emotional disorders. Dr.

McSweeney took special training at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. He has been a member of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis the past year. Dr. McSweeny has been with the Pember-Nuzum Clinic here for four Years. Sharon SHARON Mrs.

£au Claire Chosen for 1961 GOP State Convention MADISON (AP)-The Republican Party of Wisconsin will hold its 1961 state convention at Eau Claire June 10. The GOP Executive committee selected Eau Claire for this year's meeting at a session here Thursday and also decided to hold the 1962 convention in Milwaukee on May 25. Claude Jasper, state GOP chairman, said the group also laid plans for a $50-a-plate fund raising dinner to be held April 10 at the Dane County Fairgrounds in Madison, Republican legislators and state officers will be honored at the event. One of the issues to come up at the Eau Claire meeting will be whether the state organization will continue to endorse candidates for public office. The party organization is a voluntary group and has endorsed candidates for the past several years.

Endorsement does not prevent other candidates from running for office as Republicans but it does mean that the candidate supported gets financial and other help from the party. The committee adopted a resolution criticizing Judge Myron C. Gordon of Milwaukee, a candidate for the State Supreme Court. The resolution contended that Judge Gordon had continued participation in partisan Democratic politicial activities after announcing his candidacy for the nonpartisan office.
