Washington Merry-Go-Round
BY DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALIEN

N7AsHINGTON, Feb. ga
' lurid story of how Amer
lean rifles and machine guns are
used by munitions bootleggers to
arm the gangsters of the United
States and the revolutionaries of
Latin America has been unearthed
by the Senate Munitions Commit
tee.
Due to lack of funds, the COM
mittee may not get the entire
story into the record. But here
are it's highlights:
United States Army rifles and
other weapons unwanted by the
army must be broken up or sold
in parts which can not be used.
However, munitions junk dealers
piece together the unbroken parts,
and to handle them have estab-
ished two private arsenals, ia
nous throughout the underworld
but unknown to the world at
large.
One is an arsenal near New
York. The other is in Philadelphia,
where the proprietor asks his Gus
toner to step out on the sidewalk
to close a deal, so he can swear it
was not made in his shop.
These munitions junk dealers
have been linked to almost every
recent revolution in Latin Amer
lea. In some cases also the deals
were financed by reputable Amer
lean business firms,

and it is rare day when the
lumber is less than a score. No
matter how crowded his calendar,
the President always takes time

comment.

ures that the government agencies
want to submit to Congress and
maintains an effective check rein
on the bills to be known as "Ad-
ministration proposals"
Appearing before a congression-
al committee and boosting a pet
scheme under the guise that it is
an Administration measure" is
an old strategy of bureau chiefs.
1t happens under all regimes. To
spike this practice the President
issued an order requiring all
agencies to submit their legislative
proposals to the NEG, which in
turn lays them before him.
The Presidents rejection of
plan does not necessarily mean its
end. Sometimes, after a personal
talk with the President, an agency
head is able to convince him of
the need for his particular
measure.
in other cases the President will
permit the advocacy of a proposal,
but with the explicit understand
ing that the interested official
make it clear to Congress that he
is pressing it solely on his own
responsibility and not as an Ad-
ministration measure.

Her late husbands desk is now
occupied by Senator Gore of Okla

When Senator Benson was sp-

at the same desk, but to join the
Democrats on the other side of

The empty Louisiana seat made
it possible to admit him. But it

Klein, smuggling outfielder Of the

a new modern National League
record for home runs in one game.

couldn't hit for the Chicago Cubs
but has regained his batting eye
since he was shipped back to the
Phils, walloped four circuit clouts
against the Pirates here yesterday.
He narrowly missed another four
master when Paul Waner backed
up against the right field wall to
pull in his drive in the second
inning.
Klein equalled the modern ma
jor league record set by Lou Geh-
rig, of the New York Yankees,
on June 3. 1882. Bob Lowe, of
the Boston Nationals, and Ed
Delahanty, of the Phillies, also hit
four homerS in one game, but
neither performance is listed in
the modern records.
Klein'S four homers drove in
only six runs, three of the drives
coming with the bases empty.
However the last one, in the tenth
inning, started a rally that staked
the PhilS to a 9-to-6 triumph.
