WASHINGTON. June 3O.-The
President has hung out a new
sign. 1t reads: Help Wanted
A liaison man i'll the Senate"
The death of kindly, soft-spok-
en- and well-beloNed Sen. Pat
Harrison, president pro tenn of
the Senate, has so further thin
ned the ranks of loyal senators
that the administration report
eddy is getting a little frantic
about what to do for leadership
In the upper chamber.
1t isn't that there aren't some
men remaining who can be
counted on to line up on the
right side of the aisle when the
chips are being counted. The
administration still has a sub
tantial majority as long as the
fight is just skirmish between
Democrats and Republicans. But
when it develops into a knock
down and drag-out, who's GO
ing to give the signals, call the
plays, and keep the boys from
getting off-side?
Sen. James F. Byrnes-the
greatest contact man the Presi-
dent ever has had on the Hill
has moved up to the Supreme
Court. Pat Harrison is gone to an
even higher tribunal
I've combed the cloakrooms
and listened to the rumors.
There's hardly any one you could
point to and say he's the next
Presidents man.
George Already Busy
Sen. Walter F. George, of Geor-
gia, might be the next President
pro tenn, but Senator George, as
chairman of the foreign relations
committee, already has his hand
full. President pro tenn never
was meant to be anything mora
than an honorary job anyway and
it is only when some senator not
otherwise in key position can be
given that post that it means any
thing.
