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.

. From Washington:
Governor Edmund G.

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."

Let's check up a little.
Because of a LACK of bud

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

four, your total annual bill
for INTEREST on the national
debt comes to the rather tidy
sum of $198.

in our pockets money that
otherwise our wasteful old
Uncle would reach in and take

It all goes to pay for a

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.
Why don't you have your Chevrolet dealer
introduce you to Corvair today?
