Party Leaders Washington - IUPII - Demo cratic Party leaders were "certain" early in 1944 that Franklin D. Roosevelt would die during a fourth term and persuaded him to accept Har ry S. Truman as his running Back Stairs: Missiles By MERRIMAN SMITH . UPI Whit House Rtportcr Washington - IDPn - Back Stairs at the White House: With President Kennedy as ; honor guest aboard the mam moth nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise last week end, the Navy was a bit embarrassed by what happen ed during a fire power dem onstration. Highly touted surface-to-air and air-to-air guided missiles missed their target, a small red drone plane operated by remote radio control. Bob Pierpont of the C o 1 u m b I a . Broadcasting System swears that after the second batch of vaunted missiles missed the darting red target plane, one of the foreign diplomats aboard the carrier turned to his escorting officer and said: "Your missiles are very nice, but what my country I The Medical by A'e Tranquilizers Dangerouir These days, scores of people write to say that they are con stantly taking tranquilizers. FJT Many of them W-rh I are taking the medicine with out the guidance of any physician. Now they are beginning to wonder i ( these drugs do them harm, or perhaps al Alvarex ready they are doing harm. This could be. There are scores of reports in the medi cal literature of people whol got into serious trouble either 1 because they took too much ot some tranquilizer, or were Fcnslllve, to the drug. To Illustrate: The first pa tient to whom I gave one of the first new tranquilizers that was discovered, promptly became jaundiced. Fortunate Jy, she later recovered. I have seen other persons who, after taking big doses of a tran quilizer, became so deeply de pressed that, for a while, they had to be hospitalized. Most persons can take a tranqui lizer without difficulty, but they should know enough to quit the drug the day queer symptoms appear. Everyone should know that many of the new drugs which now are being made by chem ists are powerful, and in an occasional case, can have un pleasant as well as beneficial etfects. Even if only one in 100 persons gets what we doc- tors call "bad side cttects," Hie palicnls and the doctors must be on the watch for them. If I had to lake one ot tile new drugs, I would get along on Ihe smallest dose that would give me some help. With some drugs, a while blood count should be made every tew weeks. Large Dotes Bring Trouble Some people gel into trou ble because while trying to gel complete relief from their pain or discomfort or jilleri ness they take large do.es of new drug. It is well oc casionally to interrupt the use of a strong drug for a week or two. For instance, last year, 1 got to taking a mild sedative when I woke at 5 a in., to help nie to get back to sleep and to get another two hours ol needed rest. Then. 1 began lo get a redness of the skin on my nose. After a while, it occurred to me that the small amount of bromine in my pills might be causing my red nose. So I slopped taking the medicine, and promptly my nose became white again. A hundred times. I have be gun my study of a person with some peculiar and puzzling disease by saying, "Stop lor a week all of the medicines you are taking." Many a time the person has come back lo say. "That is astounding; my dis comfort, or my dizziness or my numbness, or fuzzy vision, or ear noises are all gone."

Possibly influenced by less than-perfect missile shots, some members of the travel group thought the President in his farewell speech to the Atlantic Fleet task force prais ed the men for their "drone- killing courage."

The President currently is planning lo have British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan as a guest at Glen Ora, possibly just for a day, but maybe more. There undoubtedly will be a heavy concentration of Brit ish, as well as American, re porters, plus photographers and television newsreel crews. To say nothing of spring sight seers. Press Secretary Pierre Sal inger is due to end his Virgin Islands vacation this week and join the White House party in Palm Beach in a day or two. In past administrations it was almost impossible for a press secretary to get away for as much as a week or 10 days, particularly when Con gress was in session. Salinger is indeed fortunate. Furthermore, he needed the rest because May and June are expected to be among t h e more active months of 1962 for the President. It makes the President's staff somewhat indignant to hear outsiders, particularly those posing as insiders, refer to the Chief Executive as "Jack." Members of Kennedy's staff, in talking among them selves, never engage in such formality even though the President may be miles away. Furthermore, this is not pe culiar to the current Presi dent. When a man is elected to this nation's highest job, his first-name relationships drop off sharply and he is re ferred to largely by his title. Cargo Salvage Work Finished Santa Barbara, Calif.

Vinson Favored On another political epi sode, the book says Truman first favored the lale Chief Justice Fred Vinson as the 1952 Dcmocralic presidential nominee. And, according to Steinberg, Truman initially wanted Supreme Court Jus tice William O. Douglas as his 1948 vice presidential running mate. Truman became President April 12, 1945, after Roose velt died of a cerebral hemor rhage in Warm Springs, Ga. The new Truman biogra phy, published by Putnam, says that by lale January or early February of 1944, Demo cratic party leaders noticed unmistakable signs that Roos evelt's health was failing and they "were certain that he could not live through another term." Edwin Pauley, then treasur er of the Democratic National Committee, is quoted as say ing whoever was nominated as Roosevelt's vice president ial ticket mate in the 1944 election actually was being nominated for president. Relentless Pounding . The book says party leaders tapped Truman and subjected FDR to "relentless pounding" to dump wartime vice Presi dent Henry Wallace from the ticket because they considered hi mtoo liberal and aloof from politics. Steinberg identifies the leaders involved in the ma neuvering as Pauley; Robert Hannegan, chairman of the Democratic National Commit tee and a Truman friend from Missouri; Ed Hynn, Demo cratic boss of the Bronx; Frank Walker, former Demo cratic National Chairman and FDR's Postmaster General, and Mayor Ed Kelly of Chi cago. An old Kansas City, Mo., friend, Tom Evans, is quoted as giving this summation of Truman's attitude before the 1944 Democratic convention: "Truman understood that FDR wouldn't live out his next term." On another occasion, Stein berg says, a friend named Ed ward E. McKim pointed to 1 the executive mansion and told Truman, "you're going lo I be living in that house before I long." Truman is quoted as reply- ing, "Eddie, I'm afraid I am. and it scares the hell out of me." C 1941.

But Truman's long-time aide, Victor Messall, is quoted as stating: "Senator Tru man was always politically ambitious. I'm sure he wanted to be vice president. But he had lo pretend he didn't." On other moments in Tru man's career, Steinberg writes: -Truman decided imme diately after defeating Thom as Dewey in 1948 not to run again in 1952.
