slightest opening, the President
could not afford to turn thumbs
down on the McCarran amend
ment.
That was the reason whv De-
mocratlc floor leaders resorted to
the unusual course of boiling the
bill back to committee after the
Senate had approved the McCar-
ran provision by the hair-line
margin of one vote.
Ordinarily an mendment
adopted by so close a count is
allowed to go to conference, where
1t is practically certain of elimi-
nation. But the Administration
did not care to take a chance on
the issue in the House.
After the independent attitude
displayed by the Senate it was a
safe bet that if the House received
a chance to vote on the amend
ment it would have approved it
also.
Not daring to risk this hazard,
Administration maSterminds con-
ceived the strategy of sending the
bill back TO committee in the hope
that the country would rush to
the Presidents support. They ex-
pected the Senate to be deluged
with rebuking messages forcing it
to reverse itself.
1t was a neat maneuver-eX-
cept for one thing.

TINE nlinataur,' as one recalls,
Il was a monster with the body
of a man and the head Of a bull,
which roamed the Cretan laby-
rinth.
Because 4 son Of Minos had
been killed in battle the king de-
manded that seven youths and
seven maids of Athens be brought
to Crete every nine years and fed
to the monster.
Two or three times the tribute
was paid. Then, when the time
arrived once more to make the
Offering, Theseus volunteered to
sacrifice himself. But, with the
aid of Ariadne. one of King
Minos' daughters, he met and
killed the beast.
This. according to the legend,
led indirectly to the death of
NIinos himself. One Daedalus, it
seems, had tipped Ariadne off to
the secrets of the labyrinth and
Minos set out to revenge himself.
During the chase he was the guest
of King Cocalus, whose daughters
murdered him by scalding him to
death in his bath.
BY the time the apostolic age
arrived, so good was Athenian
propaganda that Cretans had a
very bad reputation. In Titus
they are referred to as always
liars, evil beasts and idle gluttons."
DISINTERESTED observers,
- however, make them out a
sturdy people with history at
times lurid but at times magnif-
icent. They say jealousy, par
ticularly of the Cretan's prowess
in war and at sea, was what made
the Athenians talk that way
about them.
Tie island boasts of being the
cradle Of the gods, the island of
100 cities" Though it is consid-
erably smaller than the state Of
Connecticut, its people must have
dominated the shores of Greece,
Asia Minor and the islands around
about.
Each Of the hundred cities had
a different tongue" Prizing their
independence, they fought one
another most of the time. Aris-
tole said that "in Crete every
thing leads to war-education,

~ peror advanced beyond Baut-

ments and redoubts of the Allies.
While the other marShals held
the eneny's left wing closely en-
gagged, Ney crossed the Spree, and
outfanking the opposing forces,
advanced in the direction of
Wurtchen. The Gar and the
King of Prussia, now that their
right wing was turned, began a
retreat, which rapidly degenerated
into a headlong flight.
The battle had lasted 81 hours.
During the whole period the En-
peror took no rest. On the second
day, utterly worn out, he dis
mounted and lay down near q
ravine, on a slope occupied by
Marmont's batteries; despite the
ear-racking din he fell asleep.

preme in the AAA. Not long ago
he acquired a recording machine"
This little instrument that can be

records all conversations on any

Just what use Chester made of
the machine is not known.
But when he called in Victor
A. Christgau. his assistant ad-
ministrator to notify him of his
dismissal, Chester cited as the
reason certain conversations
ChristgaU had had with the AAA
rebels.
The other day a caller entered
the Office of a high-placed exec
utive of the AAA and began to
talk.
"Sh-h-h!" sounded the execu-
tive making motions vigorously.
Then he whispered, "There're
things fixed up on the walls
around here that We don't know
anything about"
