PATRIOTS

The inspectors of explosives whom
the President has appointed, one for
each state, were described in the Sen
ate when their confirmation was under
discussion as deserving Democrats
or mongrel Republicans" This pic
turesque phrase came from Senator
Penrose. and there was some Demo
cratic agreement in the justice of the
description-though it came. justice
compels the admission, from Demo-
cratic senators whose recommended
tions for these jobs had failed of rec
ognition at the White House. The ex-
plosives inspector from Pennsylvania,
Senator Penrose said, is "a specialist
in root beer" This beverage has never
been reckoned as loaded" in any
sense.
