Central Press Correspondent • WASHINGTON—It's comforting to have none Of the trimmings of greatness" about the capital now. Makes you feel confident of the future of the country to see Mr. Truman, a man who Is "a plain everyday citizen," representing the people of the nation, running our natmsal and intentional shew. Herbert Agar wrote a book, "A Time for Greatness.” What Is greatness? However you define its syllables. Pm convinced this is no time for greatness. We've had too much of what some people can greatnesss. Greatness brings cm wars and the death and destruction of people and places.

Central Press Correspondent • WASHINGTON—The wife of the new secretary of state is, so knowing polit.cians say, the perfect wife for the man in public life. Maud Byrnes, wife of James F. has made her husband s career her complete life work ever since she married the lively Irishman down in North Carolina She is a pretty, gentle woman with a soft voice. She is neither argumentative nor restiesa. She has never dragged the poor man out to parties when he came home tired from his office. She is a charming home-maker and a wise listening post when her husband wants to explode about some of the difficulties he has had to overcome. Whenever Byrr.es ran for office, and he ran right often and right far. she drove him by day or night through his cist ret stopping at the right spots so that Jimmie could address an auditorium

of possible constituents.

Meanwhile, she was always good-tempered, encouraging and gave sound advice in the slightly baffied-by-it-ail tone of voice which southern

women affect so well.

“I was Just thinking, Jimmie," she would say after Jimmie had been storming a bit at the opposition, “I was Just thinking, that maybe you might have got the wrong Impression—well, just a Uttle—about what those people really meant It

could be that you were a little tired at the time they spoke Maybe, honey, you just didn't understand things the way they were meant" “If ever a man was truly helped by his wife," said Speaker Sam Rayburn, “It is Jimmie Byrnes. "Why, Maud knows that fellow inside and out. She has always done the thing that would be best for him. And she's done it gaily and unselfishly. I tell you, Maud s

a fine girl.”

The new secretary of state has a talent for winning and holding the loyalty of the people whe know him. Byrnes (it's going to be hard to refer to him as "Secretary of State Byrnes” when I’ve known him for years and years as Jimmie Byrnes) told me about his clever secretary. Miss Caasie Connor. Miss Connor would meekly take down a sharp note as dictated by the then Senator Byrnes when he was justly indignant. A few days after he had sent the note—got It out of his system, so to speak—Byrnes would call Miss Connor into his office. "Er-er— Miss Cassie.” he would say. Tve been thinking about that letter I wrote to th« fellow down in Texas. It might be that I could phrase it another way. But I suppose by this time you have mailed the

letter. ’

"Oh, no. I haver, t mailed it,” Miss Connor would reply. "Indeed, Mr. Byrnes,” looking the boss straight In the eye, "I didn't have a stamp for that letter'. So I filed it away. It is probably out-of-date now Shall I tear It up?" "By all means.” Byrnes would answer, “tear It up. It wasn’t much good anyhow.” • • • • • THE NEW SECRETARY OF STATE is not the only man in public life of the moment who rejoices in a non-aggressive wife. I hasten to correct that sentence to “a non-publidy aggressive wife.” There aren't many "career women” in high matrimonial places around the capital these days. Mrs. Truman keep* becomingly In the background of the president's official life. (I think I should have maneuvered a trip to Germany with Harry 8. if I had been Mrs Bess ) However, Mrs. Bess Truman is probably smarter to stay at home in Independence, Mo. and wait for her husband to tell, when he gets back home, how many highballs Winston Churchill can stand without a jitterhow Joe Stalin really looks behind his mustache, and other highclass International agenda. The other new members of the cabinet also have non-career wives. That is. they have wives who have made their husbands' careers their own. Could be. dear sisters who crusade for women's rights, that this is the smartest road for a woman to take. Certainly the new official wives have done pretty well for themselves and their husbands. What the post-war wif* will do with herself and her husband or with the man she would like to land «* a husband, la going to be one of the asoet Interesting sociological developments at the nakt decade,
