ArgeqUna Juan'Peron resigned Monday, but Argentina's giant labor federation was reported preparing a general strike for dawn Tuesday; in an ef fort to put him back into power. (Pictures on Page 5, sec. 2.j) A rebel radio broadcast from Bahia Blanca said leaders of; the ix-million-member Geaeral '. Federation of Labor CGT, jbackbone President Eisenhower has had a long and restful vacation in Colo rado. , I think it is time he re turned to take up his residence in the White House. The job of being President 'may: be! back-breaking) but the- people expect the incum bent to carry, that load. Much of the 'detail can. be delegated, but I fear that Eisenhower delegates too much responsibility to his staff. In spite of the efficiency of modern means of communication and the presence in Denver of competent .if- n h. Vx,v ! aides the White House, the nexus of administration, cannot be run long by , remote control. Things either remain undone, or some times they are' mishandled. There is no substitute for the Chief, and administration suffers when the . absence of the Chief is prolonged. I think "this should be" clearly Understood now when H is assumed that Eisenhower will consent to become a candidate for reelection. He ought not to run and accept the office with the expectation of being a part-time president. It - may be anticipated that if present trends continue the burden of the office may be somewhat lighter as time goes on. Moreover, the stress of getting .his "team" organized will . be . over. But the presidential office will remain exacting as to time: and attention. It is a full time1 job and will remain so. the heaviest held by any one person in all the world. The American people recognize that the chief executive roust have an occasional respite .-from the White House. President Roose velt took brief periods at Hyde Park, longer periods at; sea on fishing or "inspection" trips. Pres ident Truman took vacations at Key West. President ! Eisenhower has his home at Gettysburg fitted up and spends frequent weekends there. There should be' Jio . criti cism of this because he can very quickly return to the seat of gov ernment if necessary. It is differ-. ent, however," to be out in Denver for a period of many weeks. The office simply will not run itself, and the people didn't elect Sherm Adams, to be "deputy 'president," nor RichardNix&n to be ."acting president," It's time .the president packed hi -bags, and took the piane Columbine back to Washing ton. After all h hasn't- bad to wear the "hair shirt" that Hoover complained of. very much. WELL-ROUNDED TAX . . YAKIMA un Washington State needs a well-rounded tax .struc ture.
