Truman Doesn’t
Want Ike’s Health
A Campaign Issue
NEW YORK OR—Former Presi
dent Truman said today that the
question of a part-time presidency
, would be a presidential cam
paign issue but quickly added, “I
don’t want to see the President’s
health put into the campaign.”
“Nobody can be a part-time
President and be a success,” he
asserted.
Upon his return from a Euro
pean trip, Truman told newsmen
if Eisenhower announces he is
“on the road to recovery,” that
should end the health issue.
“I like the present occupant of
the White House and I don’t want
to make any statement which
reflects on him," Truman contin
ued.
“I appointed him chief of staff
and put him in charge of NATO.
I don’t see how much more I
could do to show I like him.”
Truman said he would like to
have a man in the presidency
with “young ideas” but he dis
claimed any intentions of running
again himself.
Truman said he had no person
al choice of a candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomina
tion. “I’ll tell you when I arrive
in Chicago,” he said, referring to
the Democratic National Conven
tion to be held there in August.
He said the Democrats “ought
to be back in power because the
Democrats will be elected on the
issue of government of and by
and for the people and not gov
ernment of special interests,
which is what we have now.”
Truman said he thought U.S.
foreign policy “has been badly
bungled.”
Ike Gets In Golf,
Confers With Staff,
Signs Nine Bills
GETTYSBURG, Pa., UP)—Presi
dent Eisenhower chalked up an
other “first” today. He got out in
his putting green and took about
20 practice shots—the first golf
he has had since his operation.
This physical activity came
during a morning in which he
also put in some licks at White (
House paper work. He conferred
for an hour with his staff and
signed nine bills received from
Congress.
One bill provides for paying
the Vatican $964,190 for accident
tal bombing damage inflicted by
U.S. airmen on churih property
at the summer fitreat of Pope
Pius XII, Castelgbndolfo, 'during
World War II.
The bill says the bombs were
dropped inadvertently upon the
papal domain in the course of at
tacks on legitimate military tar
gets. The money is in compensa
tion for the loss of several lives
as we’l as the property damage.
Also on the business side, the
President arranged to see the Air
Force chief of staff, Gen. Nathan
Twining, Thursday or Friday and
get a personal report on Twin
ing’s recent look at some aspects
of the Soviet air force.
