D magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together -
Psalm 34.3. We exalt his name by our deeds as well as by our words.
It's Fitness — Not Age
fkN and on goes the game of trying to infuse with political
U meaning every word President Eisenhower utters about
he future. Most of the guessing gets a bit foolish, but now
ind then one of his comments is so pointed that it simply
iemands public response.
Such an occasion came the other day when he told some
3hio Republicans that no American president ever had
reached the age of 70 while in the White House. He seemed
to imply that he would not be the first, and hence that he
,vould not run again in 1956.
At the outset, it must certainly be noted that he may not
have intended to imply this at all. but simply wished to sug-
gest that the combination of advancing age and heavy presi-
dential burdens make the decision a very hard one.
5JINCE duty weighs so mightily on Eisenhower, and since in
5 ^e nature of things he cannot in 1955 see clearly what
his duty may be in 1956. it is unlikely that he has made that
difficult decision yet.
Quite possiblv his remarks about age and the presidency
reveal what is running through his mind as he turns over and
aver the question whether or not to run.
If the age factor is high in his consciousness, this is
understandable. Most men moving into the middle 60’s like
to give some thought to the prospect of lessening burdens
and greater leisure in the years ahead of them. The president s
longing for the peace of his Pennsylvania farm is well know n
to all of us.
But many citizens—people to whom Mr. Eisenhower felt
1952 he owed a duty and to whom he might conceivably

Rides With Wyatt
Big doings at the Country club
at noon Thursday and it is de-
finitely on my program. Takes a
bit of scrimmaging around to get
the body draped decently and the
war paint on, but, as Marge
Bunker would tell me, one can-
not go to social formations with
one’s face hanging out; so come
10 minutes of noon I’m panting
with the exertion but I’m ready.
White dress, white shoes, large
navy blue hat and striped straw
bag and as I climb into the car
I think I look sharp enough for
the occasion.
Upon reaching the turn-off 66
on to the country club road I
observe it to be open as I knew
it must be if one were to reach
the C C other than by air. Am
immediately confronted with a
barrier slightly askew just be-
yond the hospital gate. Negotiate
my way around it and since
there are tire tracks leading on
toward the club I’m unworried
and think how things have in-
terfered with my customary ha-
bit of spending most of the sum-
mer on that forty acres.
On my left there is a large run-
ning ridge of blacktopping, de-
signed I’m sure for the exact
pathway I’m traversing, but give
it no mental space as I’m only
going to the club turn and what
happens beyond that I’m willing
to let the spreaders have their
way.

A COLD breath of approaching
disaster creeps down the
back of my neck as observe the
parking area around the club to
be deserted. The front porch is
pulled off and there are no signs
of life outside the house. Further-
more the driveway is freshly
black topped and a stout and
forbidding barrier stands secure-
ly across my path. I stretch my
neck and see beyond the moun-
tainous ridge of stuff on my left
cars parked for blocks in the
Timberlake addition. By now the
club is behind me and I’m
searching for a way out. Find it
at the corner of Elm and turn
left.
When I have located a parking
place, the nearest being no where
near the club, and walked to the
black ridge hoping for a simple
plank which to cross clean shod
and find none, my desire to par-
ticipate in a social formation has
turned to dust and ashes. There
was a time in my life when I
would have said to myself “carry
on, old thing. Never say die.”
And have climbed the black
mountain and arrived dirty,
breathless, but undefeated.

WASHINGTON —(NEA)— Rcpre-
»» sentative Emanuel Celler
(Democrat-New York) has ques-
tioned who or what special inter-
ests may be giving the executive
branch of government confidential
advice and whether this serves the
national welfare.
As house judiciary committee
chairman, Representative Celler
first challenged the authority of
the department of commerce busi-
ness advisory council, during an
antitrust subcommittee investiga-
tion.
But this is only one of a number
of semisecret groups functioning
in government either with or with-
out legal, congressional authoriza-
tion.
BAC is a group of 60 top U S.
business executives from blue chip
companies all over the U.S. They
are chosen by their own member-
ship committee under their own
rules and by-laws, but they are
invited to serve by the secretary
of commerce. Their present chair-
man is Harold Boeschenstein of
Owens-Corning Fiberglass corpor-
ation, Toledo.
THE SELECT 60 get no pay from
the government'and they pay their
own expenses to meetings, several
times a year. These meetings are
held in Washington or some plush
resort.
They last several days. They are
closed to the public and the press.
There are some leaks on reports,
but full proceedings and recom-
mendations are never published.
It is generally admitted that
there is nothing wrong with the
government getting good advice,
wherever it can.
The only question is: Should ad-
vice government gets in a demo-
cracy be made public so that the
people will know what it is?
AN EXCEPTION TO THIS would
of course be made in the case of
the national security advisory
council. This was first organized
by President Eisenhower in 1953
as a six-member group for con-
sultation with the national security
council on national defense and
foreign policy problems.
Today the advisory council has
only one continuing consultant—
Robert Cutler of Boston, the presi-
dent's former special assistant on
qational security affairs. Dillon
Anderson, Houston attorney and a
member of the original group, is
now presidential assistant.
Cutler and Anderson now assem-
ble special advisory groups to deal
with specific problems on which
the members are experts.
As a kind of offset to the com-
merce department business advis
ory council, Labor Secretary Jamc
P. Mitchell has a labor advisors
committee. It is made up of nine
top labor union officials. It me
once for organization, but its mem
bers have been too busy on othe
matters since then to meet again.
By contrast, the department
agriculture’s advisory set-up is nc
such loose thing. A report soon t(
be issued will show 35,000 organizec
committees now functioning.
THEY RANGE FROM 28,001
community soil conservation com
mittees up through county am
state groups to the one top, presi
dentially appointed national agri
cultural advisors’ commission
18 members. The latter meets reg
ularly in Washington, but there i
an almost complete news blackou
on its work.
Secretary of Agriculture Ezr
Taft Benson has considered but ha
declined making public the NAAC
proceedings and recommendations,
His reason is that he cannot gel
frank opinions from advisors il
they know their advice will be at
tributed to them later.
There are some two dozen other
advisory groups listed in govern
ment manuals. Some are perman
ent and some temporary. Som<
make reports and some don’t.
But in the vast complex of gov
ernment activities, much advici
they give and its import arc not
known, do not show, or are lost.

Latest Mop Reaches
Out of Way Places
NEW YORK, Aug. 12—(W—Clean-
ing those hard-to-reach spots in the
home becomes easier with a new
blade-thin hand mop of soft, spun
cotton.
The mop is designed to slip be-
tween closely-quartered equipment,
such as the stove and refrigerator;
behind the piano; over valances;
and on top or under heavy, hard-
to-move pieces of furniture. It also
can be used as a wet mop, and can
be detached from its 30-inch han-
dle for sudsing out.
