Roosevelt never wrote a letter to the Rules Committee during al his 12 long years in office. Truman has been equally forth- right in regard to full employment, unemployment compensation, anti- trust suits, and offending his own friends by tackling the question of submerged oil. Roosevelt, though officiaHy- committed to this pro- gram, sometimes ducked. Truman not only hasn't ducked, he has led with his chin. And whether you agree with him or not, you can't help admire his courage. Republicans who didn’t like the, Truman - Roosevelt policies will agree that taken man for man, his cabinet far surpasses FDR's in ability, political acumen and gen- eral stature. Why then has he failed to get off the ground, while his predecessor, working with less able men and the same program, kept in the air? FOUR TRUMAN TROUBLES The answer lies in four general reasons: 1—Roosevelt had the gift of going on the radio and swaying the public over the heads of Congress. Truman lacks the radio technique, the theatrics, the ability to make that appeal. He is just as sincere as Roosevelt—perhaps more so. He is desperately trying to do a good job. But he can’t whip Congress into line by mobilizing public opinion. That was the most power- ful weapon Roosevelt had. 2—Truman has been seriously wounded by the very group he has consistently sought to help—labor. Unauthorized strikes, such as the ‘Washington, D. C., transit strike and the nationwide vote walk-out of telephone w convinced many people that Truman-Roose- velt policies of aidin bor had gone too far. All th have hurt Trun itica but the wildcat have ruined Tru- it comes to social bound to have e TieXt election. 4 RIGHT 3—Truman has let himself be' dominated by the military when it comes to conscription, the garbled | discharge of veterans and the use| of ships for bringing men home.! Politically he has played right into| the hands of ernor Dewey who in the campai of 1944 predicted this would happen | Truman’s whole experience as Chairman of his Investigating Committee showed him how in- efficient the Army and Navy could be when it came to shipping and manpower. Yet President, he trusted the very whom he did not trust as Se As a result, thousands of soldier d stilors, plus several million bers of their families And when any President loses a big block of political support, h undermines his own streneth with Congress. TRUMAN LACKS ‘BRAIN TRUST' 4—Finally, Truman has not been able to gather round him suffi- cient men with governmental “know-how.” Running a delicate governmental machine is one of the toughest jobs in''the world.

What Truman needs today is a few Tommy Corcorans.| Instead he has surrounded him- self with a bunch of genial, well- meaning gentlemen, largely from Missouri or Mississippi, who know little about government and spend almost as much time swimming in the White House pool as they do grappling with the vital problems of post-war America. This is the most obvious week- spot for Truman to remedy. The others are not easy to repair. In fact the political reactions from the labor situation may be beyond repair. These are some of the problems Truman faces, plus the general problem that after any war there is a depressing, disillusioning let- down. As qualifications for meeting these problems Truman has sin-| cerity, honesty, energy, courage and | a reasonable amount of intelli- gence. But he is seriously lacking | in experience and governmental know-how. Let’s hope he picks up| more of the latter before the air becomes too full of dead cats. After all, for better or for worse, he's our President until January, 1949— and that’s quite a long way off. * % * CAPITAL CHAFF Former Coast Guard Comdr.
