Thursday, April 19, 1951 — MISDIRECTED INDIGNATION Again the day’s news brings more evidence of the sad personal limitations of Harry S. Truman, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Item: The surly manner in which the President rebuked his old friend and“ biographer, Jonathan Daniels, for “an entirely ‘misleading “distortion of a private confidential conversation” in a forthcoming magazine article. Item: A prominent author quotes the President, in another magazine, as saying that he is “saving up four or five good, hard punches on the nose” for persons who have written “lies” about his family. | The Washinglon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) s dres: in the War companiment of RO — photographers.

One reason of course, is his bril- vliant handling of management probably say far surpassed his mil- itary achievements. Several others should share credit Item: The same article asserts that when he was in the Senate Mr. Truman called a columnist a “so and and threatened to go down to his office and “shoot” him if he said another word about the Truman family. The last item seems particularly significant, be- cause, if it is true, it shows that Mr. Truman’s recent displays of lack of self-control are not merely the result of the strains and vexations of the Presiedncy, ut, rather, are the reflection of an ingrained trait or weakness. As we have id before, we do not deny Mr. Truman’s right to personal indignation over an assault upon himself or an affront to his family. But, if a man is to measure up to the standard of character suitable for the management of the greatest nation on earth, he should not be of the type who goes around threatening to shoot people, punch them in the nose or is given to the writing of vituperative let- ters and the use of obscene insults in public. Something * (Ketchikan News) Touting Gunnard Engebreth, president of the Senate, for delegate to run against Bob Bartlett as the next Delegate from Alaska, indicates that all is not well between the Democratic machine and Bartlett. Robert Atwood, editor of the Anchorage Times, a Republican, who has supported the Gruening Demo- cratic machine, is sponsoring Engebreth. It is likely he also will have the blessings of the McCutcheons of the Third Div: Atwood says support of Engebreth is “among lib- eral Republican Also that Engebreth in the recent Jerislative session “oftén crossed- party lines to vote with a majority of the Democrats and two other Re- nublicans Anita Garnick of Juneau and Percy Ipa- look of Kotzebue.” Now what puzzles us is why efforts are set in motion to give Delegate E. L. Bartlett the heave-ho by the “gang.”” Was it his refusal to go along with the Gruening gang to try and purge Jim Nolan nf wrangell and his possible refusal to help get Lew Williams. Whatever the reasons, they wou'd be interesting to know definitely, and it shows a cefinite split in the Democratic party, the old-line Democrats vs. the Socialist Democrats. jon. Hazel Albert for N.
