Harry's Surprise Choice Former President Harry Truman's recent thump on the Democratic presidential choice must be set down as one of the early oddities of the campaign sea- eon. It will be recalled that in 1952, when Mr.

Truman was taking himself out, he was lavish in his praise of Adlai Stevenson, who became the party nominee that year And there are many Truman comments on the record in the intervening years which suggest his support of Stevenson had not diminished. Now comes this surprise. The former president did not simply say that Harriman would make a good candidate The way his remarks were phrased they amounted to giving the governor top priority in his book. At the same time, they constituted a very left-handed compliment to Stevenson. Mr.

Truman said if he were a citizen of New York state "I know who I'd be meaning Harriman. Asked whether he'd say the same if he were a citizen of Illinois, Stevenson's baliwick, Mr. Truman said Illinois has "three or four men." He added that the question was easier to answer in New York than in Illinois. A little analysis shows that statement to be a real dodge. Illinois's only top Democrat other than Stevenson is Sen.

Paul Douglas, an old Truman adversary. So what's it all about? A columnist says Mr. Truman has told close friends that while he still likes Adlai he fears his 1952 defeat at the hands of President Eisenhower might put the hex on him for 1956. He is said to feel Harriman would make the strongest hid. The only evidence we have on what rank-and-file Democratic voters think of all this is a Gallup poll that is less than a month old.

It showed that Democrats overwhelmingly preferred Stevenson as their 1956 choice. The figures were quite per cent for Stevenson, just 6 per cent for Harriman. Indeed, Harriman did not even rate second. Senator Kefauver of Tennessee took that spot with 16 per cent. Now, we all know Mr.

Truman has been contemptuous of public-opinion polls ever since he foiled them in his surprise win of 19-18. But one could allow for a pretty stout margin of error before the gap between 55 and 6 would be closed. All the signs we have suggest Stevenson, not Harriman, is the Democrats' favorite today, and that onetime Illinois governor also would have the best chance of beating any Republican outside of President Eisenhower himself. Mr. Truman's choice of Harriman therefore is intiuitive snd personal.

It must be slightly confusing to least a few other Democratic party leaden, Great Ribbon of Commerce With the opening of the 241-mile Ohio Turnpike, the development of a great super-road from New York to Chicago moves a big stride closer to fulfillment. The Ohio highway ties in directly with the 360-mile Pennsylvania Turnpike, which presently is a scant six or seven miles from a link with the New Jersey Turnpike, leading northeastward some 60 miles to New York City. Final additions to the 825-mile route are due next year. According to present schedules, the easternmost 50 miles of the Indiana Turnpike, joining with the Ohio road, will be opened next June 30. By Sept.

15 another 75 miles should be ready, and by Nov. 15 the whole 158 miles to the Chicago line will be in use. The link between the Pennsylvania and New Jersey pikes involves a bridge across the Delaware River. The connecting stretch should be ready by next April or May. Thus next year promises great gains in long-distance motoring convenience.

More important, it holds the prospect of far greater driving safety. VIEWS OF OTHERS Record of Inconsistency We have never thought that Tommy Manville was too much a credit to the American scene, to put ft as midly as possible. But in getting himself unmarried nine times we did think that at least Manville knew what he and lots of them. Mrs. Manville, the ninth, however has shattered our last Illusions about Manville.

When she obtained her divorce, and $400,000 settlement, earlier this week she told the judge among other things that Tommy used "rather vile continually talked to other women, and "told me that didn't want to be married." The last part of that sentence we think should go up in bright lights some sort of record for inconsistency. Here is a man who has been wed times, but who tells his lastest wife he is the type that doesn't like married bliss. We think the judge was entirely right in free- Ing Mrs. Manville from the wealthy playboy, even on the sometimes flimsy mental cruelty used in Nevada, The rnoet recent ex-Mrs. Manville also has reason to crow about the $400,000 settlement, largest ever paid to a Manville wife.

She lived with Tommy only eight months, and receives for that portion of her life $50,000 a month, and something like $1,666.67 a day. It's a case like this that must make the people of other nations look askance at America's divorce laws. As for Manville, he wins the "inconsistency" prize hands down. With a record like this, and yet calling himself a man who doesn't want to he needs a psychiatrist, Point (N. Enterprise, Parents Should 'Know' Schools We hear a lot of talk these days about our public schools, the teaching methods employed, the things they teach that they shouldn't and the things they don't teach that they should.

It would be Interesting to know how many parents of school age children have any Information about the schools their children attend. How many have ever actually been inside the schoolrooms where their youngsters spend ao much of their time five days a week? How many have ever met the teachers to whom much of their children's early training delegated? Parent-Teacher Assns. make an earnest effort to bridge the gap between the home and the schoolroom, to keep parents In touch with school affairs. And they are doing a fine job. But it might also prove helpful and enlightening for all parents to visit the "second home" of their children.

Getting a Little Shopworn NEA Service, Inc. Peter Washington Column Ike Made Good Choice in Picking Sherman Adams to Head His Staff WASHINGTON When President Eisenhower decided to select a man to run the White House staff he knew exactly what qualities were needed for the job. Ike learned about being a good chief of staff from General MacArthur when they, were together in fie Philippines from 1935 to 1340. Ike knew his staff chief must understand top-level politics but. when necessary, be able to play petty politics.

He must be diplomatic and curt at the proper times. He must be an Intelligent, tireless worker. He must be sensitive enough to understand the boss' philosophy and moods, yet have! a tough enough hide to withstand personal criticism, because no one loves a chief of staff. Above all he must be so obviously loyal that the boss never has to fenr for a moment that his best interests aren't being served. During the difficult months of his campaign Ike recognized all of these qualities in Sherman Adams, the -lean, frosty efficient governor of New Hampshire, who quickly established himself as the key staff man of the Eisenhower entourage.

Since Adams has been Ike's presidential assistant he has completf- 1 ly Justified the President's early opinion of him. And the smooth, efficient way Adams has taken over in Denver since Ike's attack is further proof of his value in the job. Not in recent history has a President created such a job as White House chief of staff lor handling, sorting and direction of the Chief Executive's chores. It's a military management device which has shown its advantages in the present crisis. As was inevitable in his unique job Adams has made enemies in the Republican party and has been the target of Democratic criticism.

His foes claim he made himself a kind of White House dictator before Ike's attack and that there is danger in the tremendous power he now wields. But no one has ever charged Adams.with disloyalty to the President. And therein lies Adams' basic claim to his present great authority. The cool, deft handling of the whole, explosive McCarthy affair by Ike was in large part based on help and advice from Adams. Yet when it was felt necessary to slap down Harry P.

Cain, a member of the Subversive Activities Control Board, for his criticism of Uncle Sam's security program. Adams did it promptly and in blistering terms. Most of the reports on Adams reature his cold, curt handling of people generally. And he's obviously not the fun-loving, jovial type who enjoys meeting people. But he has done an adroit, diplomatic job of keeping harmony among members of the White House Staff, assigning jobs and keeping the work flowing smoothly.

This has required working close ly with such individualistic, out standing personalities as movie actor Robert Montgomery, who has coached Ike's TV performances former Senator from Nebraska Fred Seaton and harassed press secretary Jim Hagerty. With a personal distaste for some of the sordid details of politics such as handing out patronage Ike has turned almost all of this tradi tionally important function of the Presidency over to Adams. In the handling of it Adams has huri plenty of feelings. But insiders say he has done a good, diplomatic job nevertheless It turned out that there nearly as many political plums to pass out as the GOP expected before the election. Adams has been most ruthless and undiplomatic in brushing 01 those congressmen, politicians anc others whom he h-s not felt were immediate, significant importance to the President.

But in doing this. Adams has unselfishly cut his own throat politically, as far as any ambitions he might have had in this way for the future. A further demonstration of unselfish devotion his heavy work schedule. He has always been the first to arrive in the morning anc the last to leave. Working weekends is standard routine for him.

Both originated from crossing of the Redhaven and Both varieties are bright red and gold, averaging to inches in diameter. The Sunhaven ripena 10 days earlier than the Redhaven. currently the first Michigan peach of commercial importance.

Johnston says the Sunhaven tends to be clingy until it fully ripened and is intended only for fresh market channels. The Rich- haven is a dual purpose peach, rated excellent in commercial canning tests. A tough, thick skin pro- it well in shipping. Trees are large, vigorous and self-fertile.
