President's Book
Stirs Controversy
HST Says 'No Man Indispensable;
Hits Wallace, Byrnes, Lewis, Baruch
By D. HAROLD OLIVER
Of The Associated Press
WASHINGTON--R)-President Truman stirred up new contro-
versy with two of his former cabinet members by the publication last
night of a book in which he says among other things that there is
no indispensable man in a democracy.
Gov. James F. Byrnes of South Carolina termed "absolutely un-
true" a Truman story that he roundly scolded Byrnes in 1946 when
the latter was Secretary of State.
HENRY A. WALLACE, fomer vice president, said that if Truman
ever acknowledges that a "Mr. X" referred to in the book is Wallace,
"I shall charge him with the same deliberate character assassination
which he finds so despicable in others." From the book's context, it
is apparent that."Mr. X" is Wallace.,
In connection with his statement that there is no indispen-
sable man in a democracy, Truman says he has woked to organize
the government so that it could function efficiently no matter who
is President.
"I do not believe the fate of the nation should depend upon the
life or health or welfare of any one man," he says in an interview in
the widely-heralded new book, "Mr. President."
* * *
TRUMAN SAID in an accompanying memo that the book is not
"a political act." His friend and biographer, Jonathan Daniels, saw
it as "the best and perhaps the only evidence yet available that
Truman will not run again."
The new book is by William Hillman, former Hearst newsman
now a commentator for the Mutual Broadcasting System.
The volume also contains criticism of Bernard M. Baruch and
John L. Lewis, but neither man couldsbe reached for comment.
* * * *
THE BOOK discloses Truman's informal thoughts on such a wide
vange of topics as:
Corruption in government ("There would be no corruption if
it were not for the corrupters"); Pendergastism' (The Missouri
boss was a clear thinker whose wor1 was better than "the con-
tracts of most businessmen"); and "flaws" in the U.S. Constitu-
tion (it makes no provision to fill a vacancy in the vice presidency.)
The book put the President on record six months after the close
of World War II as vigorously opposed to "babying" the Soviets.
THE VOLUME divulges for the first time such material. for the
historian, biographer and stump speaker as:
1-A scorching memo from the President on Jan. 5, 1946 to
Secretary Byrnes upbraiding him for not keeping himinformed of
what Byrnes was doing at the Foreign Ministers' Conference in
MocQw in late 1945. He told Byrnes he had infinite confidence in
him and in his ability but "there should be complete understand.
ig between us on procedure."
2-The President's belief that a third world war was imminent
during the Berlin crisis in 1948 and whn the United Nations forces
were taking a licking from the Chinese Reds in North Korea In
late 1950.
3-A reference to libraries show Truman apparently was re-
ferring to Henry Wallace, then Secretary of Commerce as a "Paci
fist 100 per cent" and a "dreamer" who "wants us to disband our
armed forces,-give Russia our -atomIc secrets and trust a bunch
of adventurers In the Kremlin politbureau."
4-A critical letter-tamer and briefer than rumored in the past-
to Bernard Baruch, who had turned down a presidential request that
he serve or, the Democratic Finance Committee at a time when the
party was badly in need of campaign expense money in 1948. The
President told the elder statesman on Aug. 19 that year:
"A great many honors have passed your way, both to you and
your family, and it seems to, me when the going is rough it is a
one-way street. I am sorry that this is so."
5-A description of John L. Lewis as a "demagogue in action," as
a man who had "overreached himself" in the 1946 coal strikes, and
who for the first time found he had "no pipeline to the White- House."

PULP:'
Bloody Issue
Of Gargoyle
To HitStands
"Well, it's this way," drawled
Peg Nimz, '53, Gargoyle managing
editor, puffing gently on her fa-
vorite Meerschaum, "three of our
junior editors went down to do-
nate a pint of blood, and once
they got the thing going they just
couldn't stop."
"It got so that the Red Cross
ran out of tanks in which to take
the blood, and there were the boys,
just a-bleedin'. Since we hated to
see all those corpuscles go to waste,
we decided to put out a Bloody
Pulp edition."
WHEN ASKED where the pulp
came from, junior editor Dave
Palmer, '52, announced with be-
coming modesty, "We made it our-
selves."
Her brown eyes crinkling with
sly good humor, Miss Nimz said
"Shaddup." Miss Nimz went on
to recite all 40 pages of the new
Gargoyle by memory, her gray
eyes a-dance with cinders.
The blue-eyed editor then
perched upon the radiator to ex-,
plain that Gargoyle's Bloody Pulp
is a parody on all sorts of pulp
magazines.
Gazing with purple eyes at one
Don Malcolm, '53, Garg curator,
Miss Nimz insisted that this is-
sue will be one of the best to hi
campus in quite a while.
Malcolm nodded stonily.
Her green eyes clouded over with
remorse, Miss Nimz denied rumors
that the price of the Gargoyle had
sky-rocketed to 26 cents. "Don't
you believe it for a minute," she
protested, "it's not worth any more
than a quarter."
In response to the question when
is Garg coming out, Miss Nimz
whispered, "TOMORROW.' ! !"

Hawaiian-born University gradu-

home after neighbors assured them

sentiment.
James Nishimura, '47, said he

the second time in five days-af-
ter being assured "they want us
here."
The first sale was balked Sat-
urday when the real estate com-
pany returned the couple's $500
down payment and advised them
not to move into the neighbor-
hood. The company reported
getting anonymous telephone
calls about the couple.
Neighbors on both sides of the
house said they did not protest.
Don Wissler, who lives next door
said: "There is quite an uprising
in the neighborhood over this dis-
crimination. Frankly we would
like to have them occupy the house
and we have said so."

agent, also is a World War II vet-
eran. They plan to move into the
house around July 1.

avenue, hewing to the green traffic

A new committee, under the

By CRAWFORD YOUNG
The much-publicized American
Council of Education code of ath-
letic reform was discussed and
found wanting by Big Ten presi-
dents, athletic directors and fac-
ulty representatives at weekend
meetings in Chicago.
" After a thorough-going consid-
eration of the seven-point ACE
code, sometimes labelled the "Sev-
en Pillars of Wisdom," it was
agreed that the Big Ten rules
were much better in the two cru-
cialarea s of athletic policy, sub-
sidization and recruiting.
"ONE OF THE tragic things'
about the ACE code is that in the
key places where athletic prac-
tices can be improved, It not only
fails to improve the present set-
up, but actually goes backwards,"
Prof. Ralph W. Aigler, Michigan
faculty representative, declared.
He pointed out that, contrary
to many newspaper reports, the
code, drawn up by a group of
educators under the leadership
of President John A. Hannah of
Michigan State College, actually
sanctions athletic scholarships.
Current Big Ten prohibitions on
subsidization and recruiting are
stiff enough, Prof. Aigler said.
The only problem is enforcing the
provisions already on the books.
NOTHING specific was done at
the metings to toughen enforce-
ment, he reported.
A few minor changes in the
Big Ten code were made at the
metings, but these for the most
part only served to bring the
Conference rules closer to the
University's.
New rules are:
1-Athletes, to maintain eligi-
bility, must have a grade average
(usually C average or better) sat-
isfactory for graduation.
2-Competition must be com-
pleted within five years of resi-
dence.
3-Schools file academic records
of athletes annually with the con-
ference commissioner. '
4--Athletes accepted for en-
trance and taking up residence
at a school cannot be contacted
by any other conference school.
The much-publicized issues of
spring practice and post-season
contest bans were not discussed at
the meetings, Prof. Aigler indi-
cated. Both policies remain un-
changed.
'U Art Lecture

Hall on "Arts of Italy in the Greek

BY CONTRAST, his new mes-
sage said he does not plan to leave
his military post in the immediate
future in "the absence of a com-
pelling call or relief by higher
authority."
President Truman, obviously
the "higher authority" in this
case, told a news conference on
Jan. 10 that he would not relieve
Eisenhower of his post unless
the General asked him to do so.

IN PARIS, Paul G. Hoffman, a
leader in the Eisenhower move-
ment, said yesterday he has urged
the General "to come home when-

science, whether this be tomorrow

Hoffman said Eisenhower is
an active candidate for the Re-
publican nomination "whether
he likes it or not."
"I said to him," Hoffman as-
serted, "'It is going to be rather
tough on you to run the NATO
show and run it as though nothing
had happened in New Hamp-
shire. '"
Meanwhile, the Senate For-
eign Relations Committee yester-

litically touchy question of asking
