FREE PARKING! Wash i n g to n Re po r t By WILLIAM S. WHITE 245 S. Central at 10th MODERATE HARRY Washington-What increas ingly haunts Harry - former President Harry S. Truman- is not so much fear of the Re publican oppo- s i t i o n. It is more an anx iety over the built-in capac ity of the Democrats to beat thera- zolvp in thp William S. , White P r e s idential race by unlimited fighting among themselves. At 75 Mr. Truman is for the first time becoming really conscious of the rapid pas sage of time. In conversation with him, it is easy to realize that his party's heavy physi cal demands upon him are much harder to bear than they used to be. He does not complain. But this ' formerly tireless man is now capable both of showing and of ad mitting fatigue. Indeed, one gets the im pression he would be far less active than he is in this cam paign year if he did not feel that one of the deepest obli grations of his long career lies upon him. This is his duty, as he sees it: to cajole (and force) all Democratic factions to show restraint toward all other factions. IT MAY seem a strange thing. But it is true that this old expert in the "give-'em-hell" technique counsels a policy of marked tolerance toward each other among all this year's Democratic Presi dential aspirants. He wants the Democrats to "give em hell," all right-but to give it to the GOP and not to each other. Actually, this point now causes him more concern than does the ques tion as to who is to be chosen by the Democrats. This explains why, in his speech at the recent Demo cratic campaign dinner in Washington, he dropped his small bomb that there were several possibilities, beyond the present major figures, for the nomination. This observation had the immediate effect of bringing others, notably Rep. Chester Bowles of Connecticut, into genuine consideration. But as this correspondent under stands the situation, Mr. Tru man's basic purpose was much deeper. HIS action reflected a Tru man ' awareness that the race between the four top aspirants-Senators John Ken nedy of Massachusetts, Lyn don Johnson of Texas, Stuart Symington of Missouri and Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota-is getting very rough, so closely are they bunched. And it also reflected a Truman be lief that it would do no harm to scatter the heat now cen tering in this group by point ing out that it was not neces sarily an exclusive group. And, finally, there is an educated guess that Mr. Tru man had yet another thing in mind. He was pointing out that he has no absolute in terest in any one man that could "possibly -rival his In terest in , keeping 'the party together as a collective cam paign instrument. In other words, the former President doesn't really think that the question of who is to be the candidate is so im portant as the question of how and on what degree of party unity he will be run He believes that the lack of Presidential competition within the Republican party can be made to hurt the pros pective GOP nominee, Vice- President Richard Nixon.' He believes a good fight among the Democrats can be help ful to them-to a point. But his recurring nightmare is that the fight might get en tirely out of hand and so benefit only the Republicans. AT LEAST one political ob server doubts the theory that the Republicans will in evitably be damaged, on bal ance, simply because nobody is contesting Nixon for the nomination. This one observer also , doubts that the Truman policy of limiting Democratic in-vfighting will be capable of realization as a practical mat ter. But the important thing is that Mr. Truman thinks he can bring it off and that he considers it perhaps the big gest obligation he has had since leaving the Presidency. No one will ever complete ly understand him without first realizing that to Mr. Truman, the Democratic party is, rightly or wrongly, quite literally everything.

" In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS . From Washington: Governor Edmund G. Brown charges that the Eisen hower administration has had a "warped" attitude toward development of the West. The California Democrat said "the pioneer has been replaced by the profiteer." Bro.wn said that since President Eisenhower took office in 1952 "short-sighted preoccupation with BUDGET BALANCING and an almost servile eagerness to bend to the will of selfish interests have been substituted for vision and courage." TTMMMMM." Let's check up a little. Because of a LACK of bud get balancing over" the past decade and a half, our na tional debt has now run up to a total of about 290 billion dollars - of which your per sonal share is about $1500. The INTEREST BILL ALONE on our national debt comes to about nine billion dollars a year. Each billion dollars the fed eral government spends costs you as an individual about $5.50. That tots up to $49.50 for the nine billion dollars of annual interest. If you're the bread-winner for a family of four, your total annual bill for INTEREST on the national debt comes to the rather tidy sum of $198. budget-balancers in charge of our government, instead of heavy spenders who have put it on the cuff, you'd have that $198 to SPEND FOR YOUR SELF. Let's not pan the budget balancers. They help to keep in our pockets money that otherwise our wasteful old Uncle would reach in and take out. AND- It all goes to pay for a dead horse. It is just INTER EST on money that has al ready been spent. , If - during these years that are past-we had had BETTER GOVERNOR Pat is a charm ing individual, and we love him.' But his views on budget balancers are a little on the unsound side - the side cal culated to get votes rather than to keep more money in the pockets of the taxpayers. Umatilla Banker's Death Said Suicide Umatilla-JUPD-The death of Roger J. Bounds, a prominent Umatilla banker and civic leader, has been listed as a suicide by the district attor ney's office.

JfStS 1 - - - . GOES ALONG FOR THE RIDE Thrift, a welcome traveling companion, steps in when you select the revolutionary compact Corvair. The economy begins with the Corvair's initial low cost, and every mile you drive is money in the pocket. Your gas dollars will now go farther . . . because the Corvair delivers miles and miles and miles per gallon. And when you change oil, the refill is only four quarts. Because of Corvair's low weight (1,335 lbs. less than conventional cars) and extra-low price, you'll realize added savings in many states in licensing and insurance costs. When winter comes, just let it. Corvair's air cooled six-cylinder engine rids you forever of antifreeze bills. Corvair has no radiator so you can forget about leaks and worn hoses. Important as economy is, it tells only part of Corvair's glad story. It is a delight to handle and you couldn't ask for a smoother ride. The aluminum engine in the rear supplies willing power to the rear wheels, giving superior traction when it's needed most. (Transmission parts and rear axle drive gears are neatly con tained in a single compact unit.) As you glide along, you'll marvel at how easily the Corvair steers (no power assistance needed there) and the sure braking action front and rear. That's the payoff on precise weight distribution. Corvair makes parking a cinch. Youll find yourself tucking it into spaces you never looked at twice before. There's room enough inside for six adults and the floor is practically flat for remarkable com fort. A wonderfully handy folding rear seat makes it virtually a station sedan. There's really nothing quite like the ride you get in the Corvair. Independent suspension at every wheel, Corvair's "spring quartet," wafts you over bumps with feathery ease. Engine noise and heat are largely left behind you. (The engine's in the rear, you know.) For coziness in cold weather Corvair has a fast, efficient aircraft type heater. And the Corvair is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the pocketbook. Its singular styling is new from the road up the lines eharged with motion. Interiors are smart and bright, sprucely tailored with' two-tone upholstery of patterned cloth and vinyl. Corvair is available in nine solid colors and seven two-tones. We modestly submit, and are certain youll agree, the Corvair is the product of inspired precision engineering the compact car you'll recognize as the one you've been waiting for.
