Herald Tribune Service WASHINGTON When! Massachusetts Rep. John William McCormack was elected to the first of seven intermittent terms as Democratic mathe House In jority leader-o- f 1$40, he told his colleagues: Im very grateful for this honor. Naturally, I appreciate it profoundly, but I realize it is a trust to be .executed in the best interest of. the country." President Franklin U.Roose-velt- , whose private choice was Rep. McCormack, never had reason to complain that he failed to act in the nations in- terest. S" S' FDRs Private Choice f I Today, the Bay State gentle man, now majority leader, stands on the threshold of the House Speakership, most powerful single post in either branch of Congress. His selection to succeed the late Speaker Sam Rayburn, of Texas, at fi. Democratic caucus Jan. 9 is ." taken for granted. If Rep. McCormack is hon-- , ored by the speakership Jan. 10, he will be' offering his services to another Democrat-- , ic president And Mr. Kennedy, like Mr. Roosevelt 22 years ago, has no reason to doubt that Mr. McCormack will act in what he believes to be In the best interest of the coun- try. I But There is unvoiced doubt in President Kennedys mind, and1 vocal doubt among many House Administration zealots, on two other scores about Rep. McCormack as Speaker: 1. Will what he believes to be in the national interest coincide with the administrations interest? 2. Does he have the technical ability and the intangibles of leadership to become a first-rat- e Speaker, capable of drivelectioing forward his partys n-year program? Source of Doubts These doubts stem from several factors: McCormack has a whiplash tongue, seldom speaks without ruffling feelings; he delights in baiting Republicans, a poor tactic to win liberal GOP House votes; -- a devout Roman Catholic like Mr, Kennedy, he deserted the latter last session when the President barred federal aid to Catholic schools; .when he ' filled in for ailing Speaker Ray- burn at last sessions close, his performance as Speaker Pro Tem was uninspiring, . The t record of McCormacks political experience makes doubts about him seerol astonishing. He ha been: Massachusetts state Representastate x Senator tive 1920-22j- 1923-26- , the last two years Democratic leader; United States .
