The Washinglon Merry-Go-Round By UREmARSUN G Contirued frcm Page e) he left it in 1933 until Truman invited him back after Roosevelt’s death. The fict that Truman call- ed the ex-President in for consul- tation automatically shielded him irom the ba and stings which the New Dealers had slung in his direction for twelve long years No longer was Hoover their favor- it punching-bag. Not only that but Truman had brough him before the public eye once again. And Hoover was s0 grateful he even requested the Gridiron Club to let him speak, in order to pay special tribute to his newfound friend. Truman, in turn, not only likes Hocver, but plans to use Hoover's name to wrest from Congress pow- which they 1efused to give Franklin Roosevelt. ¢ CONGRESS WITHHELD POWER Truman not only wants to be a good President, but he is acutely sensitive to Dewey's charges that Washington needs a housecleaning. He has one in mind. But he has learned, far better than Dewey, that you can't clean house unless ers Congress gives you the power to houseclean. FDR asked for housecleaning power, and Harry Truman, then only a junior Senator, vividly re- calls how the Republican press smeared it as the “Dictatorship Bill” and hew a Democratic Con- gress barely passed a bill giving him severely restricled powers. So Truman pants to use Hoov- er's name to put through a new reorganization bill, and he wants Hoover's support in lining vp con- servative Republicans to back him Furthermore, Truman believes that Hoover, like the Supreme Court, has read the election re- turns, and will rot recommend anything which he, Trwmmnan, can’t go along with. Since Hoover was also once a President, conditioned Ly White House background, they think somewhat alike on what is needed in the executive branch of the Government. There are only two living men who have any idea of the cares and wear and loneliness of the Presidency.
