In 1945, from Jan. 20, his fourth inaugural, to April 12, his death, Mr.

Roosevelt was engaged in critical war affairs. We were delivering (he final blows to Germany, making ready to shift full weight of our mighty war mach- ne to the Pacific, anil laying the ground- vork for a new experiment in international relations, the United Nations. But what was Mr. Truman, his heir ipparent, doing at this time? He was slaying cards with his Senate Cronies, ind presiding gaily over the Senate. At a aress conference in Chicago less than a nonth before he assumed the presidency, Mr.

Truman complained that he did not lave enough to do. No wonder Mr. Tmmrrn urged every- to pray for him when Mr. Roose- died. Truly, the roof had fallen in jn him.

Says Churchill of that problem: "It seemed to me extraordinary hat Roosevelt had not made his deputy md potential successor thoroughly ac- luainted with the whole story and irought him into the decisions which verc being taken. This proved of grave lisadvantage to our affairs." In the circumstances, it is wholly 1111- lersfamiable that Mr. Truman commit- ed errors. He had learned his job from cratch under the greatest of pressures.

Jlu is crucially involved in the difficult work of explaining administration aims to Congress, and tempering senatorial altitudes when they are hostile. His current trip to the Far Kast is much more than a ceremonial excursion. Nixon, at such places as Tokyo, has been a true policy spokesman for JMr.

Eisenhower. He is explaining wherever he goes. And he is also problems and people, making acquaintances, building a background in a vital and too-little understood area of American policy. All this gives rise to hope that we may, after all, gain something from looking at history, even though, as in the White case, Ihe effort becomes badly ensnarled in politics. Views of Others 'Some New Cl iches' Tlie convention of 'Hie Associated press Managing Editors ussudulum reported the refills uf a poll on the 10 "must dett'sled" sports cliches.

High in disfavor are ''mentor," fur coach; "inked pact," for signed contract; "pay dirt," for a score, and "circuit clout," for home run. We are glad to join in sneering at these, but, from long association with the "siwrts fraternity" (no mean cliche itself; we feel that the eminent editors have overlooked a few terms that yield to none in the teeth to grinding. High on anybody's list for instance, would be that standby of the football broadcasters, a "teeclee," meaning T. D. for touchdown.

Among terms use of "bobble" for error has a high rasping content, while "senior circuit" for or IK it league, has a suggestion of pomposity, like an overstuffed Columbian in an overstuffed chair.

'Comical People, These Americans, What?" efer Edson's Washington Column Variety of Crop Plans Is Now Under Study by Republicans WASHINGTON (NEA) negotiable from one producer to also an income support plan. The the new fnrm plans now beinj onsklered by Secretary of Agri- ulture Ezra Taft Benson are almost as hard to understand as the Brannan plan.

Thus far, the Republican farm planners seem convinced that there is no one plan, like Erskine Johnson IN HOLLYWOOD HOLLYWOOD OUYS three pictures to his another, at free market prices. new plan has been approved by A brand-new idea has been given I Secretary Benson's Corn Advisory tentative approval for the corn Committee. crop, but it has corn growers puz- -irice plan for wheat Is zled. The general fear of those to us as tricky as the corn plan, but whom the plan has been explained I el 'eut. Under its operation, all Peter Edson is that it would tend to force down support price levels.

The workings are roughly this: At the beginning of each crop year before planting time, 'the De- thc Brannan' artm ent would announce the level plan that would of needed in the light of take care of all ex 's tin ij carryover. The idea would crops. So a variety of plans, a different for eath crop, is being considered. They include a two-price plan for price for domestic wheat and another for export wheat. John H.

Davis, former President of the Wool Marketing Association, now an Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, has been working on a modification of the Sugar Act to fit the woo! situation. It would meet U.S. wool requirements by allocating domestic production and import quotas. To control the potato surplus, a recommendation has been made to the administration that the old Warren act of 1935 be dusted off. This plan was thrown out by former Secretary Henry Wallace, who didn't like it, after the original AAA act was declared unconstitutional.

It provided for a system of marketing taps, printed tax free but bought from the Treasury by potato growers at 75 cent-s a htm- Iredweight for licenced production. These marketing taps were made be to determine how much corn could be sold at 100 per cent of parity. The level of support prices would not be announced, however, until Oct. 1, the beginning of the harvest. At this time the amount of corn to be fed to cattle and hogs would be added to the amounts going into manufacturing and export.

This would be the immediate requirement. To this would be added an amount for carryover sufficient to care for an average crop failure. Together, these would be total requirements. If this amount balanced the total corn production for the year, the wheat would be sold at free market prices. At the beginning of each crop year, the amount of wheat going into domestic use and the amount going into export would be calculated.

Each of the two million U. S. wheat growers would then get a certificate for his half of the wheat used in the U.S. The value of these certificates, per bushel, would be announced by the Secretary of Agrculture at the beginning of each crop year. If the new level parity price of wheat was S2.10 and the average market price was $1.65, the certificate would be worth 45 cents a bushel, for that portion of the crop used for U.S.

food. The money to pay for these cer- Ificates would come from milling certificates bought by flour millers rom the government, for all wheat used to make flour for the domestic market. Under this plan, the farmer farmer would get a support price would get the full parity price for equal to 100 per cent of parity. For I his share of the wheat that went each one per cent the crop exceed-1 into, bread. This would tend to keep ed the total requirements, purity would be dropped one per cent.

If quirements, the support price would be 90 per cent of parity, but the support price would never be below 75 per cent of parity. This is described as an income support plan, but it is said to be not the Brannan plan, which was up the price of bread to the consumer. The advantage of the plan is said to be that it would take the government out of the business of owning, storing and selling wheat. The plan has had the approval of Secretary Benson's Wheat Industry Advisory committee. the Doctor Written for NEA Service By EDWIN P.

The hand was actually played In trie European championships by a team of English women against a team of Swedish women. Mrs.

In Chicago, over 135,000 names are on file from consumers who want to heat with natural gas.

A Brooklyn, N. utility says it started the year with 30,000 gas heating customers, picked up 10,000 In ten months and now is aiming at adding 50,000 more in the next ten years. That's the picture in the gas industry today in many parts of the nation. Natural gas. one of the fastest growing businesses since Ihe end of World Warll, still is expanding at a breath-taking pace.

The gas industry has been adding about one million new customers a year and now serves almost 27 million homes. Of that figure, 12,900.000 customers now use gas for home heating. House heating creates sudden, sharp, high peaks in the use of gas. One company uses 15 times as much gas on a zero day as on a summer day. As one means of meeting this problem, the gas companies have invested millions of dollars to develop underground storage facilities in depleted and partly depleted gas fields in the northern states.

Gas is piped into these fields during the summer months and then taken out in winter when demand reaches its peak. More than 650 million dollan has been spent this year to extend and expand the 350.000 miles of gas pipeline in existence. There already is enough natural gas pipeline now buried in U. S. soil to encircle the globe 14 times.
