Just Being Private Citizen Big Enough Job for Truman
Washington—(U.P.)-If it's any comfort to President Eisenhower, Harry S. Truman isn't going to try to get his old job back for at least another 20 years.
Not that he didn't like being president. Not at all. He told reporters he even misses the old rough-and-ruffle of White House press conferences.
He noted he had turned only 70 last week. But he hastened to add that he has "no intention of running for office until after my 90."
But he added with a twinkle: "I'm just as happy trying to be a private citizen which is a helluva job."
The man from Missouri distributed these observations in a lively give-and-take with reporters yesterday afternoon after he had delivered a speech at the National Press club.
Mr. Truman turned aside questions on what he would do about
He was in high good humor laughed often and obviously enjoyed the session.
"If I were President, I'd tell you and I'd do it," he said. "Were I head of the Democratic party and we had a demagogue in the Democratic party. I'd take care of him."
various Presidential problems if he were back in the White House. But he made it clear he would take some positive action to silence Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wisc.) if the senator were a Democrat and Mr. Truman were in control.
Mr. Truman declined to say as to whether Mr. Eisenhower is doing a worse, as good, or a better job as President than himself. But Mr. Truman is "interested in the success and welfare" of President Eisenhower and "He will always have my sympathy because I know what he goes through."
He was asked if it is as windy in his home town of Independence, Mo., as in Washington.
"It is when I'm there," he shot back with a laugh.
Romelle Roosevelt To Avoid "Political Hatchet Job"
Los Angeles, Calif.—(U.P.) His wife's desire to avoid a possible "political hatchet job" today spanned James Roosevelt further matrimonial scandal until after the June 8 California primary election. Roosevelt, son of the late Provi Ace.
Roosevelt, son of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, hopes to join the Democratic congressional nomination in the 38th District.
Mrs. Romelle Roosevelt, who accused the late President's son of infidelities with a dozen women, agreed yesterday to postpone until June 9 taking depositions in their sensational divorce-separate maintenance case.
Mr. Roosevelt last month filed suit for divorce to counter his wife's separate maintenance action.
"We don't want to appear as hatchet men," Schifferman said. Our mission is not to defeat Mr. Roosevelt, nor to act in the best interests of his wife.
Mr. Roosevelt had asked that action be delayed until after the balloting. It was the second delay granted by Mrs. Roosevelt and her attorney, Arthur E. Schifferman.
He failed in court recently to strike from his wife's suit two letters—one in which he allegedly admitted infidelities and another reportedly promising his wife half of his income for life.
In asking for a divorce. Mr. Roosevelt claimed that "irreconcilable differences" had arisen since the original separation action initiated in January.
Mrs. Roosevelt answered his divorce plea by charging that the California Democrat had worked out "a carefully conceived plan" to get the decree in such a way that would not harm his political career.
The divorce request by Mi
Roosevelt came after his wife turned down a property settlement offer.
In agreeing to the second delay, Mr. Schifferman stressed that it would be the "final" one that Mrs. Roosevelt would allow her husband
"Claims have been made that the hearing at this time would have been a political hatchet job by Mrs. Roosevelt to defeat him in his race for a seat in Congress," Mr. Schifferman said.
"We willingly granted his request," the attorney added, "to refute such false claims and to prove that Mrs. Roosevelt again has been unjustly accused.
Med Center Doing Polio Research
The KU Medical center will play an instrumental part in the current Salk tests for polio. The tests currently being given in Kansas City are a unique experiment in the fight against the disease.
Research and testing facilities have been set up at the center to evaluate and check the results of the tests.
The tests are being carried out by the Public Health service and the Department of Health and Welfare. It is feared that the results of the test will not be as conclusive as hoped because some apathy and outright opposition to the injections has been met on the part of the parents of the children to be injected with the serum.
