THE PRESIDENT AND MR. ICKES Harold L. Ickes, the self-styled "old curmudgeon," is a hard man to live with. His bluntness and biting sarcasm have made many public figures very unhappy. He has one of the most pungent vocabularies in Washington, and at times has seemed to go out of Iris way to invite verbal duels. But he is also exceedingly stubborn about speaking the truth as he sees it. . President Truman has known all this for a long time. He has known also the fine devotion and loyalty which Mr. Ickes gave to the New Deal administration. He had refused to consider the resignation tendered by the secretary of the inter

ior last summer. Yet when he sided wi.th his friend, Ed Paul

ey, the California oil millionaire, against Secretary Ickes, he precipitated and accepted another resignation. .

: ' We believe this is the culmination of the biggest mistake

President Truman has made. We believe most Americans feel

or dislike of the irascible Ickes. It. may prove to be a

very cubuy mibtatt.e, lux mi, iruuiau, liic guvcxiniicmt, ui both. . ' - , .Everybody likes to see a man stand up for his friends. Eut a president of the United States cannot afford to let friendship dominate his judgment. Grant and Harding made such mistakes, and their administrations suffered grievously as a result. The country suffered, too.

Mr. Truman made his initial, mistake when he nominated such an active and powerful oil man as undersecretary of the Navy, with the intention, frankly disclosed by the nominee and his friends, of promoting him to cabinet rank later.

I lie JNavy controls vast oil reserves,' held in public , trust tor public use. That trust was betrayed once. It must not be betrayed again.' ......

Mr. Pauley is unquestionably an able man. It .might .

nave been possible to usetfiis ability m the government without raising any serious question of proprieties. Mr Ickes himxj t- i' ... u i i. !

oeii buggesiea, such a pian, wmcn woiua nave pui on reserves under joinjt control of the War, Navy and Interior Departs ments. Mr. Truman apparently did not think much of that suggestion. - '

- Perhaps the president believed that, as jthe interior secretary's superior, he was unlikely to be a target of Ickes barbs. If so, he was promptly disillusioned. One of the sharp- ' ..est passages in the secretary's letter of resignation is this accusation of distrust and prejudgment: "On the question of veracity between Mr. Pauley and myself, I am ready to appear before any competent tribunal at any time, although Of fionrsp T shnnlrl want nnp fhat wnnld nnf nnnniinpp nr pvon

form, its opinion in advance of a full and careful consideration of all the evidence." ' I, t;Mr. Ickes' resignation had been expected some time this year. If the Pauley incident had not arisen or if the president

over a little secret jubilation among old-line party leaders, who never liked him, or within Chicago's Kelly-Nash Democratic machine, which he fought so long. Tt..L r i i! ... ..

. ruc in precipitating tms resignation on a question of veracity. Mr. Truman may have created a serious break between himself and, the New Deal liberals. It seems certain to sharpen scrutiny of future appointments, and perhaps to give freer rein to criticism of some of his presidential advisers. , . . In other words, the president seems to have sacrificed a substantial measure of support, which he will need in future months and most of all in 1948,. by implying that he trusts a political friend more than a veteran adviser whose honesty 'is unquestionable. 1
