FRIDAY DEO JO 1948
Fresh from the Innocent delights <
of the vacationing fisherman I
Baukharo
Kv
bragged about my
tan and then
carejessly In
JJ quired What Is
going to happen
In congress next
month
One of the col-
leagues answered
Harry Truman
Is lucky He owes
one debt he never
will have to pay
to Henry Wal-
lace When Wal-
lace bowed him-
self out he stepped
on the red ruffles
of Miss Democrats petticoat and
pulled it along with him
And It was generally admit-
ted that much of the stigma
connected with the charge of
coddling Communists was
removed when Wallace left
Like tfeo Pled riper not of
Ilamelln but once of Iowa he
piped away m lot of the luna-
tic fringe which Is the eternal
headache of all political par-
ties
The rodents In this case both
red and pink followed the pipers
dulcet promises But the piper was
unable to take his revenge Un-
like the flutist In the poem who
lured Hamellns children away
when their parents wouldnt pay
the rat exterminator Henrys pip-
ing titillated few Democratic ears
The voters didnt follow
There were other unwept losses
among Harry Trumans alleged
supporters He won the election
without the solid south The other
end of the Democratic spectrum
colored by the views of those who
preferred mint juleps under the
fragrant magnolias to straight
Yankee or mlddlewestern spirits
withdrew discreetly and complete-
ly to their Jasminecurtained veran-
das This doesnt mean they wont
be heard from later but they
arent the worry they once were
While no one would bracket the
Conservatives with the lunatic
fringe the Dlxlecrats did cause
many embarrassments to the Dem-
ocrats Now they are at least sep-
arately ticketed
The Republicans likewise de-
rived certain heating qualities
from the cold douche they took
on November 2 not unlike Mr
Trumans A number of their
diehards dlod In the struggle
with the electorate
MinorityLeadertoDe Joseph
Martin of Massachusetts Is no
wildeyed radical So what he says
on the subject of change which Is
what the radical always wants is
Significant
Joe warned his friends back in
Attleboro Mass a district which
probably will elect him as long as
he chooses to run that the Repub-
licans in the recent campaign of-
fered the people too many Brah-
mins too many plutocrats These
Republican candidates said Joe
likewise offered too little person-
ality did not appeal to the people
and formed a narrow circle which
prevented what he colled expan-
sion and the opening of rasks
Of whom could he have been
thinking
We digressed too far from the
people the former speaker said
and the GOP must reorganize In
the cities and towns getting in
new blood at every level Joe
was speaking then out of his deep
political wisdom
Social Legislation
h Here to Stay
1
Rep Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania
chairman of the Republican nation-
al committee in the recent cam-
paign gave another significant post
election warning to his party Re-
publicans must recognize he said
that legislation embodying social
gains is here to stay
Bo It would appear that these
men and many of the other Re-
publicans who now represent
the GOP In conrress are as
happy to be relieved not of
nllunatlo fringe like the Demo-
crats but of an albatross
around their necks
The Republicans who are trying
tq reform their ranks and rebulld
for 1850 are by no means pessi-
mistic To quota Joe Martin again
he predicted that the GOP would
snap back quicker than they went
6ut They know now If some of
them didnt before they must keep
In step with the times One of the
great problems the Republican na-
tional committee faced to the cam-
paign was reconciling the pro

77e Election Has Changed
Both Democrats and GOP
By BAUIOIAGE
N if Aiulmt stidfC6mminUlor
WASHINGTON Thoro aro two experiences which no
one should miss M he can help It Coming into Paris the city
of light and Washington the city of magnificent distances
at twilight by airplane
Lately I dropped down from Iho clouds upon Washington with the
lingering embrace of southern sunlight about me The tiny sparkling
lights below winked their welcome Dut this esthetic experience ended
bruskly when I left the airport The winking lights stared and by the
time I reached the National Press club eyes winked but they belonged
to my colleagues who patrol the beat from the White House to the
CapltoL
gresslvej Ideas set forth in Mr
Deweys speeches with the some-
what pleistocene attitude as one
observer described It of some of
the excandldates for house and
senate
Witness the embarrassing situa-
tion In West Virginia not to men-
tion Illinois The New York gover-
nor simply couldnt stomach cross-
ing the borders of West Virginia to
embrace Its recalcitrant senator
Chicago on the other hand Is a
railway center and It was neces-
sary for Governor Dewey to change
trains there and in Rome do as
Romans do He did and endorsed
the Republican senatorial candidate
from Illinois But the citizens of
Illinois did not
Had Mr Dewey been elected and
had the Republican senator from
Illinois been reelected the White
House would have faced difficulties
among them the embarrassing par-
adox Sen C Wayland Brooks
opposed the Marshall plan which
Dewey strongly endorsed Taking
that as a guide it seems possible
that Brooks could have been count-
ed upon to vote against a Dewey
Dulles foreign policy as he did
against Mr Trumans
Liberal Thought
Growing in V S
The election I believe caused
thoughtful people to emerge with
one Idea which the entire nation
regardless of Its politics will have
to get used to The thought Is not
original with me but It Is one that
was mentioned by the only person
who did predict the election re-
sult except the man I lost a bet
to Agriculture Economist Bean
said something like this
The wave of liberal thought
which appeared to have
reached Its senlth under Roose-
velt Is still on the upswing
Apparently the natural post-
war reaction stopped It but
didnt start It going In the op-
posite direction
Now some of you may not like
that thought but It were well to
accustom oneself to the idea Nor
need you expect the pendulum
ever to swing as far back as you
might wish Personally I enjoy
riding behind a spanking team In
a buggy with the fringe on top
and I wonder if we wouldnt all
be better off If the Internal combus
tlon engine had never been Invent
ed But I am willing to admit
things being what they are that we
have traffic lights and other an-
noying regulations
At any rate when President Tru
man takes the rostrum to deliver
his message in January he will
look out on a congress which his
friends claim he fashioned in
large part with his own hand Or
I might say with his own sharp
tongue from a back platform
Harry Truman went out and
fought tooth and nail no holds
barred for the kind of con-
gress he wanted The people
whether or not that was their
only Intention gave It tohim
> And now as one somewhat cyni-
cal observer remarked to me
Harrys got what he wanted
God help him
He has to deliver now
The Wednesday Democrats
have turned out to be Saturdays
children when it comes to getting
Jobs In Washington
An elephant can do a lot of things
with his trunk but he has to carry
It with him when he travels I can

The ocean Is growing saltier ac-
cording to the National Geographic
Probably getting jealous of the
Great Salt lake

Lets hope It wont crawl back to

way
Export of butter from the Argen-
tine Is increasing Perhaps because
It wont melt In President Perona
mouth when he tells what hell da
to people who want to prevent his
reelection
Its an ill wind Id say serious-

PRESSURE
Polite NO
Sore point In all the Berlin con
troversy continued to be the Soviet
blockade of the exReich capital
The Big Three Western powers still
blamed Russia for continuation of
the crisis through perpetuating the
blockade and President Harry Tru-
man had given emphatic evidence
that he planned no further discus
sions with Russia on the subject
until the blockade was lifted
Following his return from a Flori
da vacation the President went into
a fulldress review of American
foreign policy with Secretary of
Btate Marshall and W Averell Har
rlman U S ambassadoratlarge
in Europe
The gravity with which United
Nations leaders viewed the Berlin
situation was evidenced in the ef-
forts of U N Secretary General
trygve Lie and H V Evatt gen-
eral assembly president
THESE TWO made urgent ap
peal to chief executives of the four
bijTpowers going over the beads of
these nations U N delegations to
do so to bring the Berlin dispute to
an end and thus bring about world
peace
This appeal was without avail
The United States France and Eng
land said jio politely but firmly
They declared the issue must re-
main in the hands of the U N se-
curity council until the Russian
blockade is lifted Russia reacted as
usual blaming the Western powers
Cor the stalemate
Evatt and Lie argued that the dis-
pute cannot be settled within the
cramped confines of the security
council and should be aired In the
Wider fields of the general assem-
bly
AGGRAVATING the situation
was the coming winter with its con-
sequent obstacles to the air lift
The Russians appeared content to
wait out this phase of American aid
to Germany in the apparent convic-
tion or hope that bad weather
would so Impair air lift efficacy as
to make It negative in the battle for
Germany
If the situation were to be re-
solved by diplomatic means Amer-
ican thought and procedure on the
question would carry top weight
with the Big Three
Under this setup President Tm
mans evident Intention to spurn
discussion of the problem unless the
Berlin blockade were lifted would
Indicate the United States was pre-
pared to continue the cold war
with the Russians and to bet with
the elements that the air lift would
continue to be efficient and that
Premier Stalin and his Communists
would have to come to terms In the
endPRESIDENT
PRESIDENT TRUMAN reltcrat
ed that he planned no American
mission of any sort to Moscow and
that he and Secretary Marshall
were in accord on all questions
The President would stand for no
pressuring In discussion of the Ber-
lin question even If It came from
top chieftains In the U N
PRIORITY
For Farmers
The man with the hoe put the X
where It counted November 2 and
as a result Americas farmers are
to reap a share of President Tru
mans smashing victory at the polls
Even now administration chiefs
are moving to give the nations
farmers top priority over labor In
any legislative program coming up
for action by the next congress
THE FARMERS reward Is to
come Immediately not In the fu-
ture and the outlook Is that labor
may haveTto stand behind the farm-
er when awards for a part In Pres-
ident Trumans triumph are to be
handed out in a legislative program
Best friend of the farmers when
the plums are to be passed around
Is Secretary of Agriculture Charles
Brannan No doubter of where cred-
it for Mr Trumans victory belongs
Brannan already has assigned Louis
M Bean department economist and
election forecaster to prepare
charts and graphs to show the Presi-
dent that he owes his election pri-
marily to the farmers
THAT ISNT all that will be done
to insure the farmers a fair return
on their Investment in Mr Truman
for top level planners are drafting
a new flexible price support pro-
gram to go Into effect early In 1949
instead of 1950 as would have been
the case under the Republican Aiken
farm bill
Add to this the fact that Senator
Elect Clinton Anderson D N M
Missing Link
Anthropologists appear to have
turned up another missing link
Inthe evolution of man
The latest find discovered In an
ancient Transvaal cave In South
Africa may provide a clue to the
earliest known of mans ancestors
The bones of this prehistoric crea
ture who may have lived a million
years ago Indicate he might have
been a manape who carried
weapons and built fixes
Day of Judgment
Illdekl Tojo former prime min-
ister and top war lord of Japan
was found guilty of wartime atro-
cities by an allied tribunal In
Tokyo and was sentenced to death
by hanging lie Is the last sur-
vivor of the Infamous HltlerMus
sollnlTojo axis
former agriculture secretary took a
direct hand In supervising drafting
of the new measure and personally
will Introduce It and It becomes evi
dent the farmers happy place In the
administration sun is most assured
BASIS of Brannans contention
that farmers elected Mr Truman
if It werent for the farm states In
the agricultural west the 11 Indus
trial states on the Atlantic seaboard
that voted for Governor Dewey
would have swung the election Re
publican
How will farmers faro under the
administration plan Heres the
projected program
To protect the farmer against an
ticipated crop price fallofls he
would be given a flexible price floor
that would protect growers but
would not burden U S taxpayeri
with an extended permanent sub-
sidy of farm surpluses
PROVIDE adequate storage faclli
ties for farmers in corn and wheat
belts to prevent loss of bumpei
crops
Extend reclamation and soil con
servatlon benefits to more farm
lands and provide an Increased rural
electrification for more farmers thil
to be sponsored and paid for by the
government
This then is an extension of the
benefits which farmers may have
felt were Imperiled In the Dewey
program and for which they fell
they were voting when they cast
their ballots for President Truman

MILLENNIUM
Very Unfunny
When a radio comedian backs off
from laughs the event rates In news
value with the manbltesdog Item
But theres method about 16000
worth weekly In Arthur Godfreys
madness Godfrey Is the guy who
has ordered his musicians not to
itugh at any of his jokes
THE REDHEADED radio comic
explains wistfully that his musi-
cians used to laugh at his jokes
sing with him and have all kinds
of fun But thats all over now
Godfrey says
He adds that union rules provide
that if his musicians laugh at his
jokes or join him In songs they
will come under an additional union
the American Federation of Radio
Artists And that says Godfrey
would mean an extra cost of 800 to
900 a week for each musician
His men would sing choruses and
theyd kid each other the comedian
says but now If they open their
mouths to sing they come under
AFRAs jurisdiction That adds
the extra salary

ment President Truman accou-
tered himself in casual shirt while

NEW LIGHT
From Isaiah
New light end Interpretation may-
be thrown on the Old Testament by
discovery of the complete scroll of
the Prophet Isaiah All 68 chapters
of the book with only a few portions
missing have been found
One of the most dramatic Biblical
discoveries of all time the scroll
was brought to light recently when
four of the oldest Hebrew manu-
scripts thus far known were found
In a cave near the northern end of
the Dead Sea
Scholars date the Isaiah scroll as
early Maccabean or second cen-
tury B C which would make it
the oldest Biblical document yet to
be discovered Intact
THE DISCOVERY of a complete
Isaiah scroll dating back a thou
sand years before the oldest one
known promises scholars an oppor
tunity to seek new meaning from
the Bible and to determine by com-
parison the extent that errors may
have found their way into Biblical
manuscripts with the passage of
time
Bible scholars point out that the
Book of Isaiah lixe all of the Bible
camedown to us as the result of
many copyings by scribes who
would make additional scroll as
the old ones wore out
