PICKERING NOT NEWS

-
PICKERING NOT NEWS
But pickering and controversy
do not make the constructive
ne"5 that should come out of
Washington, and a sudden and
permanent ending of all such
blowoffs under the Byrnes plan
should be welcome, just so long
as ii is not used TO cover up adj
ministration mistakes, what the
Congressman call bureaucratic
bungling, and the policy deci-
sions that need full public dis
cussion and airing.
A complete blackout of news
on some of the controversial is
sues now raging in Washington
would be relief, but only if
the issues were settled - not if
they were simply buried alive.
Consider also the duplication
of effort IN the various Congress
sional Investigations on phases
Of the civilian war effort:
The Senate Committee on
Agriculture had been investigat-
ing OPA price roll-backs and
subsidies for two weeks. when
the matter was taken up by the
Senate Committee on Banking
and Currency. Most of the wit
ncsscs are the same. Concurrent
~ the House Small Business
Committee raked the Office Of
Price Administration policies
over the Goals OF its hot scat,
while House subcommittee on
agriculture went after OPA $
grade labelling program and a
Senate Small Business Commit
tee looked into the poultry sup
ply and distribution situation.
TOO MUCH CONFUSION
OPA Is today the hot subject
OF these five Investigations. but
before OPA became the center OF

all this attention II was some
thing else-manpower, or war
production, or small business IN
general, or gasoline. or rubber,
or steel. or aluminium.
These things are admittedly
all important and maybe they
deserve all the attention and
abuse shoWercd down upon
them. Director Byrnes realizes
the complexity of them all and
the difficulty in trying to get IN
vestigations Of all the war prob
lens conferred in one committee
Of the Senate and one commit
tee of the House. Congressional
Investigations are, in general,
healthy things. They correct
many abuses. But in duplicating
each other, they tend often 10
pile confusion on top OF confu-
sion and that is not the obvious
way TO shovel away pile Of
confusion Wnlcn lltterS up any
front yard.
AS a step toward increasing
the efficiency of not only the
war effort. but of Congress itself
the proposals which Director
Byrnes has made constitute a
notable step towards the remov-
al Of much Washington confu-
sion
The ncatest trick which Mr..
Byrncs proposes, however, Is 10

abuses and departmental con-
fllcts called TO his attention and
corrected before they reach the
stage of being 50 oVcr-rlpc that

Because OF the war. America is
rediscovering the world. Much is
being found out about It. People
are beginning to see the real value
OF missionaries work in countries

go to Burma from India by air to
stop Japan quickly. India is very
important TO America"
Distances don't seem as great
any more when no place is more
than sixty hours from the nearest
airport, ideas Fly fast and there is
quick exchange Of thought and OF
goods. Hence, all countries will be
internationally dependent in the
postwar situation" he pointed out.
