Prof. Peek spoke through the facilities of a closed circuit tele- vision which was beamed to 12 rooms in the Frieze Bldg. Basing some of the lecture on a new book, "Presidential Power," by Richard Neustadt of Columbia University, he stressed that the power of a president fails when. he is forced to use his power to command.. Using the illustrations of Tru- man's firing of Gen. Douglas Mac- Arthur, seizure of the steel mills and the entrance of troops into Little Rock, he pointed out that in each case the president had failed earlier to persuade the pub- lic and the persons involved to avoid such action. This, Prof. Peek said, was a failure of the president, who did not keep his power within his own hands. He emphasized that a president can keep informed and ready to make his own decisions by reading newspapers, have cross-informa- tion channels and informing the public by focusing on the issues. Prof. Peek cited former Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt's use of "fireside chats" to inform the public and thereby mold public opinion.

This power is, however, dependent upon the president's"subtle use" of it and not his "bold initiation of action by direct commands to people not already convinced of its bene- fit."
