The w ashing ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMa,or Robert 6. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON before he left the United States for the war zone, Archbishop Francis J. Spell man of New York, the Presidents closest link with the Vatican, told friends of weekly conversations he had had with Pope Plus XII Tn which His Holiness expressed hope for an early understanding between the Vatican and Soviet Russia.
 Archbishop Spellman was secre- tary to the Pope when, as Cardinal Pacelli, the Pope was Vatican sec letary of state, and he remains one of Plus KITS most trusted confl- dants. All during the war and until the New York archbishop left the United States, the two conferred regularly by transatlantic phone at pm. on Wednesday.
 These phone calls, never before publicized, are one of the anoma- lies of the war. Though this meant a telephonic hookup of two enemy countries, connections were made promptly and the conversations never censored or garbled-at least from our side.
 When the history of this war IS written, it may show that the trans Atlantic calls between the Pope and his closest adviser in the United States played an important part in paving the way for rap prochement between the Vatican and Russia. Plus XII dropped many tell-tale hints in these talks about discord in Italy, which were relayed to the President.

TRADE SITUATION

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Atlan- tic coast officials said the action of ignoring the German blockade is probably motivated by the ad vantageous trade situation.

POPE AGAINST DICTATORS

Speaking from an enemy country, the Pope could not of course un- burden himself of his innermost feelings toward the Axis, but Arch bishop Spellman told friends that he manifested his contempt for Hitler and Mussolini in subtle ways. He was extremely depressed about the state of affairs in Europe and once confessed to his former sec retary:
 I'm very lonesome and worried. I wish you could come over and visit me because I need your advice very much"
 It was shortly after this that Archbishop Spellman left to visit the Pope and to take up his new duties as military vicar" of Catho- lie chaplains of foreign war fronts. In the light of the foregoing back ground, his itinerary is interesting.

Here's Dope About
 Boss; Moi Unknown Americas $ New Food
(First of two articles on Food Administrator Marvin Jones'
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. - The Washington wiseacres have just about quit predicting that anybody will amount to anything in this war effort.
 Whenever someone starts shout ing praises for a new figure on the home front the boys sing-song a little unrhymed couplet. "Knudsen, Kimmel, Henderson, Brown-Wick- ard, Davis, Odlum and Short"
 That generally ends the conversa- ton. There isn't one in the list that hasn't been touted as the modern Moses who would lead us into some kind of an economic or military Promised Land And there isn't one who hasn't stubbed his toe on one or more rocky problems and had to limp off to back seat or oblivion The couplet could easily be expanded into quatrain.
 The Davis, of course, is Chester C.. (not Elmer, who, however, has been having his own trouble with the critical hurdles lately(. That's why Marvin Jones slipped into the post of War Food Administrator without any fanfare of trumpets or a single prediction.
 Having had my own optimistic fingers burned, I'm not going to prognosticate anything at all about Marvin Jones, but it can be said here and now that no man has entered the wartime food picture with more undeserved uninterest from press, radio and politicians than he.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1943-08-04

If there ever was a man in Con- gress who accomplished more with such a genius for anonymity than Marvin Jones, I don't know who it could have been. From 1883 to 194O, there wasn't piece of farm legislation passed by Congress that didn't bear his stamp of approval, snonsorshin or name That portion of the Texas panhandle which he represented from 1916 on to his ap-

Tires Start Rolling Back

Consumers with rationing certi-

to tire dealers for those extra
tires that were turned in when
people registered for gasoline.
Some 10 million tires of good,
bad and Indifferent quality went
into the governments stock pile.
About half have been found to be
unusable except as scrap. Many
others, needing repair, are being
put in the best possible condition
for redistribution. Starting i'm
mediately, usable tires are being
routed back to tire dealers where
they can be purchased by holders
of certificates.
