Vice Presidents
NEW YORK, July 21—I wish to make no noises like an expert, but I've seen no comment on one facet of the recent political shivarees which would indicate that the Democrats have tossed in their hand as worthless, and are concerned solely with digging up some fresh scratch for 1052's poker session. ‘ : That was in the cheerful nomination of Dear ‘Alben Barkley as Uncle Harry's 1948 running
chum. 3 On a ticket which contemplated victory, this would be an affront to the people, and I hasten to say that I have only admiration for Alben as a man, a politician, and a bourbon bibber. It seems only yesterday that the topic of vice presidents was salient on the lips of the voters and the fingers of the pundits. After the near scrape with Nature Boy Wallace. and-the—some say—unsatisfactory session with Harry, the caliber of the No. 2 man has become just about as important as the qualifications of the No. 1 man. : This is because of an airplane accident, a vicious visitation of gout, or the pistol of a petulant taxpayer can suddenly convert No. 2 to No. 1—-and you're stuck with him until the next elections. ‘ Sen. Alben Barkley is 71 years old. That is too old. That is way too old. You don't want any 70-plus Presidents liv{ng in the big house on Pennsylvania Ave. Say Harry gets in, rules two years, and then dies, which is never impossible under the man-killing strain of the job. Yau/are then faced with a twoyear lease on a President who is pushing 75.
Warren Can Do His Share
‘IT'S MY MEEK ‘thought that no man in the middle 70's is spry enough mentally or physically to handle the task of being President of the world, which is what it amounts to nowadays. ‘The delicate care with which the Republicans lit on Earl Warren as Tom Dewey's co-partner wasn’t altogether concerned with the number of liberal votes Mr. Warren can corral or the fact that he’s got a fine and photogenic family. Mr. Warren’s robust body and his comparative youth are a guarantee that we inherit: no basket case if Mr. Dewey's ticker quits under fire.
Federal Fever
WASHINGTON, July 21—The most insidious disease of all, I guess, is creeping gobbledygook. This federal fever strikes down nice guys like Paul G. Hoffman without their even knowing it and leaves 'em spouting meaningless words like the rest of the bureaucrats. Not many months ago Mr. Hoffman was manufacturing Studebaker automobiles, cussing the black market, and talking like other folks. Now he’s administrator of the: Economic Cooperation Administration, the outfit in charge of shipping billions worth of free food and machinery to Europe, So solid citizen Hoffman, with the gray temples and the blue polka dot cravat called in the financial and diplomatic correspondents to tell em about the $1,118,800,000 in goods and cash to be sent abroad in the next couple of months. “This figure of course” said Mr. Hoffman, With no idea of the way gobbledygook had struck down, “has not yet been finalized. Neither bas it been maximized.” Poor Mr. Hoffman. Out in South Bend, Ind. When he decided on the perambulating greenhouse 8s the kind of auto Americans would buy, he didn’t finalize that model. He just said, this is it. Neither did he maximize the cost of it. He merely set a price that would return the firm a reasonable

The new emphasis on vice presidents is such that Mr. Warren himself stipulated he be given a whopping share of the load to tote, or he wouldn't play. We are in for an era when the
vice president is the executive assistant. And notiand’ portentuous “lipsticks,” the
the figurehead who plays solitaire until the shattering day when they call him, as. they called Harry, and tell him the man is no more. The jackass-worshipers, as well as elephant men, are aware of this fresh feeling about the job of vice president. LIS . There is still a recurrent shudder when you; think of Nature Boy, and what might have happened if Mr, Roosevelt had died in term two or three.
Barkley a Fine Gentleman
WHI is why I say the Democrais are conceding eat, because they'd never dare present an old man as alternate to Harry if they figured they had a prayer to get in. It would be sheer effrontery to the voters. Mr. Barkley is a fine, lusty, hale, courteous, wise old gentleman, with a better capacity at the; bar than most of us young punks. But he hasn't got the gas he used to have. A T0-odd year oldster is an old man, subject to all thesfreakish whims and conniptions of tired plumbing. He can wake up feeling fresh as a dewy dahlia, and be deader than Cleopatra by nightfall. He can’t take all the handshaking and conferring and fretting and fightin’ that a President has to assume as part of the daily chore. He just ain’t got the bounce. The hoary old Senator was hired for three reasons, in reverse order of listing. One, they owed him a curtsey for all his tireless work, his nearly unquestioning obedience to the party. Two, his speech made the only semblance of sense that cropped up in the whole convention, excusing Mr. Truman’s appearance. But, the third, and most important, was that he figured to snare some southern votes and some borderline votes—thereby making it possible for the Democrats to store up a few more senatorial seats, governorships and other high state jobs, as a stockpile against the eventual comeback effort in 52.

15,000 tons of of cheddar. That's a whopping big dish of Welsh rabbit when you stop to think about cheese in the delicatessen at '80 counts a pound. It is. "in fact, $15 million worth. The new administrator said in his characteristically soft voice that he was going to Paris, himself, to get the Marshall Plan's machinery running smoqthly and then (here came that gobbledygook again) he got to talking about one point seven and one point two. ; The Europeans had asked, he said, for one point seven this quarter, but he’d studied this over carefully and given em one point two.
Remember the Boys at South Bend
WHAT in the name of sin do you think he was talking about? That's what worried me, too. But I listened carefully and I finally got the idea. He eant that the governments over there had asked hith for one billion, seven-hundred million dollars. He decided this was too much and put ‘em down for one billion, two-hundred million. This, however, has not been finalized. Neither, you must remember, has it been maximized. . It was here that a lady correspondent asked about the $600 million left over from last quarter. Mr. Hoffman said it would be sent along, wasn't that much. Well, how much? His assistants rushed in sheets of figures. The administrator did some calculating with his yellow lead pencil and said it was about $350 million. The lady said, yes, but hadn’t he overlooked about $250 million in loans? - ; Mr. Hoffman said he believed he had. And I hope he has a nice trip to Europe.

THE evening before, the Fuehrer had pinned his golden party badge on her, and she depended on the strength of this, badge to strengthen her arm when the moment came to kill her flesh and blood—six times.

had a hundred questions to ask as to whether and what kind of pain accompanied the taking of their direful contents. Hitler obligingly went into all the gruesome details, He explained that the immediate effect of the poison would be a “paralyzation of the respiratory tissues and then of the heart. Death would occur only after a few minutes, but the pains would
the tissue convulsions would occur.” ” » » FRAU JUNGE reminisced to me: “I remember that Eva Braun said when everybody was discussing the effects of the poison: ‘Does it hurt? I don’t mind dying heroically, but it must be painless!” And everybody laughed, but it was not the laughter which comes from the heart.” . On the evening of April 28 a sensational report swept through the bunker, shaking and exciting the occupants as much as the earthquake vibrations of the artillery bombardment. Wedding bells were to ring for Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun. * » #2 »
HITLER -had remained a bachelor up until the present because he had wished to keep alive ‘the mystic legend in the hearts of the German people that there was always the chance that any one of the millions of German women might possibly attain the distinection of being at his side. Now apparently there was no point in keeping the legend alive any more. Hitler broke the official news of his intended marriage in the most unusual wedding announcement ever made. He proclaimed it in his will which he dictated to Frau Junge: “As I did not consider that I could take responsibility, during the years of struggle, of contracting a marriage, I have now decided before the closing of my earthly career, to take as my wife that girl who, after many years

It is our wish to be burnt immediately on the spot where I have carried out the greatest part of my daily work in the course of a 12 years’ service to my people.” Then he dictated his political testament, which Frau Junge found to be “so completely meaningless. He should have said something as to why all this happened. He repeated only the same things he had said over and over, in his speeches and proclamations.” She was amazed that he appointed a government to succeed him When “we all realized that no such thing could materialize.”

» ” » IN THE short interval between the dictation of these two wills Hitler became the husband of Eva Braun. Gerda Christian, the other secretary, not being burdened with official duties that evening, participated in the wedding festivities. Speaking English with a little hesitation now and then, she related to me the story of the conjugal ceremony 50 feet underground with the wedding march being played by Stalin's Organs. I asked her if she congratulated the groom. She replied: “No. I said nothing because the wedding really meant his death day. It was not the same as is usual with weddings. I could not say: ‘I wish you all the best from my heart,’ because I knew what was going to happen. It was really a death wedding.”

When he left, he slouched from the room.” Following this ceremony Hitler signed " his two last testamenta and retired to rest with Mrs. Eva Hitler, nee Eva Braun.

be too great—he might be wounded and captured and then subjected to shameful indignities. He insisted that there was nothing wrong about his self-de-struction, since, he said, “there was no other way out.” Suddenly everyone notes an extraordinary phenomenon in the bunker.. People are smoking. What no one has dared to do in 12 years, brandish lighted cigarets, cigars or pipes in Hitler's presence, now is being done with impunity. Even Eva Braun, who has not smoked before, puffs at a cigaret, and the Fuehrer makes no objection,

Even Hitler climbed over the legs of the snoring tipplers so as not to awaken them. Thé upper concrete ceilings were pierced at several points, but the clatter of the debris to the lower ceilings did not disturb the alcoholic trio. There' was now no more work to ‘do. There were no reports. Hitler had no decisions to make. ; Like a tired old man he walked rom room to room, exc a few words. here “and a played with the Goebbels children, he talked to Blondi's three puppies still alive,
” = 8 HE HAD one supreme fear; that in some manner he might be taken away against his will and turned over to the foe. A few days before, he had dismissed even his theretofore most trusted Dr. Morrell.

He has been betrayed by those he trusted most: Fegelein, Goering, Himmler, Speer. “He saw the general collapse clearly,” Axmann related to me, and then added: “One thing was quite certain. Hitler knew that the time had come for him to depart this life.”
