Rpnublican advice; Will j O resign, i uum" ...... z liberals back Truman WASHINGTON Here is one tip-off as to how Harry Truman will operate as president of the United States namely how he handled his old Tru man committee. lot of myths have grown up about that com mittee, chiefly that it was run by Hugh Fulton, its counsel. Fulton was a good fact-finaer, but it s sheer baloney that he ran the committee. Real fact is that it was a good committee and had some A-l members. They all ran it. Truman believed in teamwork. He didn't move without keeniner his committee informed and hav ing its support. He worked also with the republi cans on the committee Brewster of Maine, Burt on of Ohio, Ball of Minnesota and Ferguson of Michigan and they reciprocated. A lot of people around Washington think it may be a good idea to have more of this kind of team work. During many years under a spectacular from president, government officials had drifted into the habit 01 letting inings np uccause iut) "the boss would take care of it." Now Truman is likely to adopt the policy of letting every man handle his own burdens, and if things slip, getting a new man. MORGENTHAU RESIGNS After the funeral services at the White House, Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau called on President Truman and brought with him a letter of resignation. Truman read it over and said: "But I want ycu to stay on with me.'' Both Morgenthau and Truman were still grief stricken by the suddn death of their mutual friend. "Now you knew how I feel. Mr. President," re nlied Morgenthau. "Roosevelt told me many time.;, down here together irom 'Henry, you and I came Ot aeatn until me snaiienng eiiecx ui . , t (where both Morgenthau and imminence drove him away from the front Rcosevelt have estates), and we will go back gether.' Now he's going back and I feel I ought to go." ''But,'' maintained the new president, "you have j a lot of work to do here and I want you to stay." ; "Mr. President, I am glad to serve in time of j war and I will do anything I can to back you up," j replied Morgenthau, "but you are entitled to a free hand and to choose your own men. I have one boy I with the Third Army in Germany and another of j to "rest. But Ernie Fyle went back. He didn't want to. He feared that the law of aver ages was against him- He did not want to die, and was honest enough to say so. And he didn't have to go back. No com manding officer ordered him forward. i , I OUR &OLO j j 7 yM&gm ma ! J; j f ill I , M f I iwi R a : lis i i' WkWWL r, J mi L- 3 ) 1 I : to-' " i " "" .... ; 1 : OUT GUR WAY By J. R.

Roosevelt, f nalK- 1 at nome. ins ueatn has cast a BY PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, D. C. An unomciol yet highly authoritative opinion that the White House has no power under existing law o make executive agreements which would grant foreign airlines the right to operate in the United States is appearing in the forth- , coming April issue of the George .Washington Vr fdlZSiftik - I University Law Review. Publication of this opin ion may have important bearing on Senate For eign Relations Committee consideration ot the postwar international civil aviation convention drawn up at the 54-nation conference in Chicago last faU. This G. W. U. Law Review article is something more than just another one of the endless series of long-winded differences of opinion among law yers. It was. written by Arne C. Wiprud. special assistant to the Attorney General in charge of r",nc:rrT-t-itir.n cicrc frr thf Anti-TrUSt TVlvisffin. I tason Wiprud is the man who did much of the spade work for the Department of Justice suit against the western railroads on charges of conspiracy to fix rates. '4TTNDER existing law," writes Wiprud at the end of his exhaustive research into all U. S. aviation Ir.v.s and treaties, "... the conclusion of executive agreements to affect an exchange of operating rights is without legal basis. Such executive agreements, to have legal validity, would require the adoption and ratification of a treaty between the governments concerned." : II the Wiprud argument is correct, the White House would have two choices. Either to recall the agreements and send them to the Senate in the. form of treaties for ratification, or else ask Congress for new legislation, an amendment to the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 which would give the Administration the power to do what has already been done. A1 RNE WIPRUD is not the only lawyer in government who takes the view that executive agreements permitting foreign aircraft trans port rights within the United States are not within existing law. Sen. Josiah W. Bailey of North Carolina, delegate to the Chicago con ference and chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, has testified before the Foreign Relations Committee that he believes the interim agreement and possibly the first four freedoms covering the right of an airline to fly over foreign territory, to land for service, to put down and pick up traffic from and to its own country are within existing law. ! But on the fifth freedom Senator Bailey has his legal doubts. This fifth freedom would grant any international air carrier the right to put down or pick up traffic from and to other countries than its own country and the country to which it was flying.

Biggest political problem faced by Harry Tru an 13 to keep the support of the huee segment of liberals which, rain or shine, for better or for worse, always followed Franklin Roosevelt. FDR knew they could never leave him. During the first eight years of his administration, he wa.s their idol. And during the last four years, when he swung to the right, the liberals had no place else to go. Roosevelt knew it and sometimes treat ed them like step-children. But they had to take it. Since Roosevelt's death last week, however, some of hi3 old liberal friends, among them labor leaders controlling huge blocs of votes, have been putting their heads together. Some have decided! that if Truman swings to the right, they will bolt, j They figure that they have much greater poli- 1 tical bargaining power if they are independent. In the eld days the republican party was often more progressive than the democrats. Today Stassen of Minnesota, Warren of California and Dewey of New York aie putting through some distinctly liberal measures. Therefore, if the Truman ad ministration swings over to the conservative south ern wing of the democratic party, the liberals fig ure they can do business with the republicans.
