Take if or Leave if, Buf Here are Various Rumors
 That are Hard 10 Confirm
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Those proverbial small towns where gos- sip flows over the back fence with the speed of radio, gathering new twists and tangles as it crosses each yard can't hold megaphone to Washington.
 Within the space of three hours I have heard authentic" reports of super-super munitions lob- bv's control of Congress-, a Nazi Trojan horse scheme to sabotage upper-crust British politics; and an elaborate plan to blow up the Panama Canal by suicide crew sailing an apparently harmless fishing smack.
 Also that Mrs. J. Wentworth Traveller has pawned the crown jewels to finance the American Bolshevik revolutions; Senator Doakes is the real fuehrer of the Christian Front; and our Govern nent is really controlled in the lrawing rooms by the American equivalent of the Cliveden set.
 Also that a prominent Holly wood actor who frequently por- trays historical characters IS Americas No. 1 Communist, and Shirley Temple is Japanese spy.
 Such things may seem far- fetched but they are no more fan tastic than some of the tales that wag their way into the best Wash ington circles. It takes more than couple of pinches of salt to catch facts in Washington and a gent has to be pretty sly to keep his nose for news from slipping down to a neck for moose.

DUTY vs. POLITICS

Still, correspondent is neglect ing his readers if he doesn't sift this chaff. The trouble is that gov ernments are run through politics and politics mean axes to grind.
