Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - April 29, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news Cool these Days by George e. Sokolsky i like sex presidents two sex president Are rolling tii jut the United states anti both Are More popular today than they were when they were sitting in the White House Herbert Hoover has grown into the most beloved citizen of the country. He is now in the Hospital enjoying a glorious grumpiness but at 83 recovering from a Gall bladder operation with the ease and the will to hic of a Young fellow he has recently been engaged in writing live books one of which is now ready Lor the Book stores Quot the ordeal of Woodrow to watch him work is a rare Anvil Edge for he digs like a Young fellow writing his m a thesis he writes on lined yellow paper in Long hand and he revises draft after draft. Herbert Hoover abhors ghosts which is probably the reason for his enormous literary output. In wilting the Rule must be Quot do it ghosts clog the works. Too i recently attended a dinner of tammany Hall in new York county Over which these Days Carmine Desapio presides. The principal speaker was Harry Truman who at 74. Traipse about the country making speeches taking publicized w Alks and doing politics for his party. He is a beloved Leader. Nobody needs to agree with any Man to love him. When a democratic audience sees Harry Truman they see a Spunky Little Guy who fights his Way to the kind of political and personal Victory that democrats like and they show it. Harry Truman a influence Over his party increases As he grows older therein he differs from Herbert Hoover who in his old age has come to be regarded As beyond partisanship. One cannot imagine Herbert Hoover telling the boys How to lick the democrats. Harry on the other hand gets Down to it the sidewalks and gives the enemy hell from Start to finish with a Feror expected from a Young one running for local office. If Harry Truman emphasizes the importance of Hie Plain Ana simple people it is because he is certain that he has never graduated from Index it Indence Missouri of which he regards Kansas City and probably the rest of the world As a suburb Herbert Hoover and Harry tinman Are friends. At any rate they get along with each other better than ther do with president Eisenhower who has More or less snubbed or ignored them both. Harry Truman has been shown no Courtesy since Eisenhower has become president which is bad manners on the president s part. No matter How you look at it. Harry Truman when he was president extended due courtesies to Herbert Hoover appointed him to important consultative and exploratory tasks and backed him valiantly on the recommendations of the Hoover reports. Perhaps it is customary in the army folkways that when an old general retires his successors ignore his existence. It is not so customary in politics where a handshake and a smile Are permissible even among political enemies who May like each other or not. According to personal taste line. President Eisenhower continued the Hoover commission but gave it none of the ardent support that Truman did. Besides there is a frigidity about the White House possibly emanating from Sherman Adams office which would normally chill such a person As Herbert Hoover. It put icicles about Harry Truman. Silly business too i had never before seen Harry Truman at a partisan political Down to Earth meeting and it was a threat he was cheering the crowd to go out and work for the re election of governor a Verdi Harriman who will undoubtedly be re elected unless the republicans in new York state can come up with a Miracle. What obviously a he democrats Are afraid of is that the District leaders and such will become complacent feeling that Victory is assured. So they beat the Drums and Harry beat his the loudest of All and the crowed just loved it and him. Too. I done to know when i had had More fun particularly As i sat next to Carmine Desapio s Beautiful and Clever wife who never misses a move. The republicans do not know hereabouts How to play so closely together they do not mingle Well a and mingle is a word often used i in democratic circles.
