Can we do Can YOT help ns I "Such treatment by the W.P.B. office would force anyone into the BLACK MARKET for things they absolutely must have." It inconceivable that asinine business conduct should have To be tolerated by citizens and taxpayers of those who are in high place and represent the government of the United of America, the greatest conn- try in the world todav.

Private business would not put up with such operation twenty four honrs if government would let it fire the inefficient employee. Here is another cae where one of our thousands of bureaus is incapable of cutting the corners in handling a simple problem. Just as a small one-man restaurant Avas supposed to dig up figures for 1942. 194o, and 1944 including total value of broken during those years before the Bureau would act on a simple request, so here we have a typical small business that needs a few pairs of work gloves a week weeks writing, filling out fonus. getting others to write, and at calling on its Senator to get action.

TThen so i is involved and when an effort has been made to regulation (oh what a lot is covered by that word) is it-sensible to withhold a "decision involving four pair of canvas work gloves a week? Canvas work gloves to a blacksmith are as important as hammer to a carpenter, type to a newspaper, or a rolling pin to a housewife. Laughable fts this absurdity becomes, it is another example of the dangers inherent in regimentation- and super-bureaucracy. It an utter i a i i on the part of a representative of our government to evaluate a problem realistically. The letter of the regulation. That's it.

Certainly Mr. Truman was never Mr. Roosevelt's confi- a he was never his associate, his partner in government.

In that respect, his relationships were less foriunate than those ot Mr. Garner or Mr. Wallace. Yet, Mr. Truman is catapulted by death into the presidency at a moment as difficult, as troublous as that which sent Andrew Johnson to the White House.

Certainly every Amencan of whatever political party will wish Mr. Truman well and will aid him in every possible way in the conduct of this nation's affairs. The skeins of al! the world and the affa-rs of 50 nations were in the hinds of his predecessor; it will be a task to transfer them to the hands ot the new president. This, then, is the correct time to study the method of succession. For many years reports and rumors were recurrent of Mr.

Roosevelt's ill-health. His photographs indicated illness of a serious nature prior to the Chicago convention, leaders of his own party displayed deep concern over his prospects. Just before the election, he displayed physical courage and prowess that dispelled all criticism of a sick man running for the presidency. It is now obvious that he actually had been a very sick man for prolonged period and that he gallantly fought off his maladies. His courage, his physical en- ELEANOR ROOSEVELT GRACIE ALLEN REPORTING Story I the U.

I had to tell several people i forcibly that nothing would induce me to run icr public office or to accept an appointment to any i at the present time. I have two jc-bs that 'consider myself obligated to do and that I want to do. My daily column I have always looked upon as a. job which I'wanted to have considered on its merits. Because I was the wife of the president, certain restrirtions were imposed upon me.

Now I am on my own, and I hope to write as a newspaper woman. I certainly should have background to bring to the job, and if I have not developed powers of observation and correct reporting: in the pait years, that will soon be discovered. My magazine page is also a contract that I wish to fulfill as well as I possibly can. Outside of these two occupations, I hope I shall be able to do an occasional article on subjects which are of interest to me and to others. For the next few months, however, there is a great deal of business which I feel it is an obligation to-attend to both because ol my husband and rny children.

My husband was a collector, with a interest in history. This means that the children and I have many things which we must go over and which we cannot consider irom the purely personal point of view, since, in acquiring them, my husband thought of their historic interest to the public and then- value to future generations rather than to their value to us as a family. The sad news has just come to us that Ernie Pyle been killed at the front with our boys on Okinawa. To thousands of people all over the world, his column has brought the best understanding of the human side of our lighting men. Mr.

Pyle wanted above everything else to see them and to be with them the Pacific. I am glad he had the opportunity but, like many others, I shall miss his column, with its gracious understanding of human beings. I shall never forget how much I enjoyed meeting him here in the White House last year and how much I admired this frail and modest man who could endure hardships because he loved his iob and our men.
