The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-08-05

cans voted solidIy against 1t on the ground that it gave too much power to the President. A REPUBLICAN BLAST
 Such COP antics drew a with ering blast from one of the most revered figures in the party-Wil- liam Allen White, the crusading sage of Kansas.
 In an editorial in his Eanporia Gazette, titled "TO Kansas Con- gressmen," MT. White read his fel- low Republicans a scorchlng lec- ture on patriotism and concluded with the blunt warning that if they didn't mend their ways the voters will do 1t for them. The following are some of MT. White pointed remarks.
 Dear Boys: You have been playing the game, the partisan Republican game, on the foreign policy of this country now for three or four years. Nearly ev- cry vote you have voted has been a minority vote. Come to your senses! . You have gone as far as you can on the Quisling route. Watch out for a record vote which you can never ex- plain if this country is in war in 1942 and particularly if this country is losing ground in the war because you have torn our armed forces to pieces by your vote when war was threatened.
 'It is all right to be good Re- publicanS and it is all right to hold your job. but boy! take an old mans advice: When the folks know that you want your jobs worse than you love your coun- try, you'll lose your jobs!
 "Yours in affection,
 w. A. w."
 There was no affection in the reception of the Kansas COP con- gressmen to Bill Whites advice. The boys were burned up. They sputtered all over the Republican lobby in sizzling wrath.
 But their ire was really funny, because while funing in the pri- vate recesseS of the cloakroom, not one of them dared give public voice to his anger. To a man they were afraid to reply to Editor Whites scorching castigation.
 NOTE: Only member of the Kansas congressman to whom Whites blast did not apply is Rep- reSentative Jack Houston, Demo- crat from Wichita, a militant non- isolationiSt.
 WHEELER'S POST CARDS
 Earl Hurja, partly one-tirce statistician for the Democratic National committee, is boasting how he supplied the list by which Senator Wheeler sent out a mill lion postcards against RooSevelt's foreign policy.
 Since Hurja quarreled with Jim Farley and left the Democratic Nationo committee, he has been busy buying up old magazines and trying to revive them. Of Finnish descent, he has also been leader ion Finnish reSief-a movement which has boomeranged a bit re- gently.
 Emil carries in his pocket a sample of the list he supplied Wheeler. It reads: White, w. L., Go. c. 9th Int. Ft. Sriven, Ga" This is enc of the names Secre- tary of War Stimson originally cited to show that. Wheeler was trying to sway the minds of sol- diers.
 But Hurja claims that both he and Wheeler were innocent in sending the mai Ito army camps and that he can prove 1t in terms of rose bushes. For under the name, pronted above, appear these symbols: "AAsWs9-3Au4l."
 Hurja explains that "3Au4l" means w. L. White took Q three year subscription to tlA magazine Woman's World to expire Aug. 8, 1e4l. The other symbols mean that in return for taking 0 three year subscription he received Q bonus of three rose bushes.
 Huria had purchased the sub- scriptiOn list 0f Che defnnct Woman's World with the Idea of Fevivlng C, and he'd lent the list te Wheeler.
