The W ASKING ION
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
Major Robert s. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON. = How intense
cabinet officers feel about the
State Departments policy in North
Africa leaked out when Elmer Da-
Wis asked for a passport to send
his office of War Information
French expert Edgar Mowrer to
Algiers
Mowrer, long Chicago Daily News
correspondent in Paris, knows the
French intimately, was a fervid
interventionist, has been close
friend and supporter of Secretary
of War Stimson and his one-time
boss Secretary of the Navy Knox.
But having lived in France, Now
rer also has been vigorous critic
of our pro-Fascist policy in North
Africa.
After Davis asked the State De-
partment for Mowers passport,
several days passed. Nothing hap
pened. Finally Davis himself phoned
Secretary Hull, asked if the mat
ter. could be expedited. Hull replied
that he would look into it.
Thereafter, Secretary OF War
Stimson called Elmer Davis on the
phone.
II ask you as personal favor
not to send Mr.. Mowrer to North
Africa" Stimson said. HE will be
a disturbing factor. He will upset
many of the things we are work
ing on. He won't fit in at ALL
To this Davis replied: "Mowrer
is the man need in North Africa
and I've decided to send him."
Later, Davis got call from the
Secretary of State. Mr.. Hull also
urged that Mr. Mowrer not be sent
to North Africa. He made tn e
same arguments as the Secretary
of War, namely that Mowrer would
be a descriptive influence. But Ell
mer Davis stood his ground.
II want Mowrer in North Afri-
ca" he told Hull, land also want
him to have the power to bring
other men over to work with him. "
well, / shall not take personal
responsibility in the matter" re-
piled Secretary Hull. THE passport
will have to be ordered by the
President of the United States
And while Mowrer, staunch friend
of democratic Frenchmen, was kept
waiting in Washington until Roo
sevelt's return, Mr.. Hull gave a
State Department visa to Marcel
Peyrouton, who, as Vichy chief of
Police, had arrested de Gaullists,

Reciprocal Trade
Fight Is Looming
Present Congress

AS a building block in history,
the pacts fit into the traditional
Democratic party principle of low
tariffs. The party in the past drew
its greatest membership from the
agricultural South. The South
shipped its cotton, principally, to
England. There it was made into
cloth, some of which came back to
this country England sent many
other varieties of manufactured
goods here. The South, which
bought these goods. naturally didn't
want them to be subjected to a tar

the stricken ship included Capt.

The fighting covered a seven-
day period-all air attacks against

Pleasure Driving" Is
Nuts; Haphazard System
OF 0pA SIeuths Rotten
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-If the
ban on pleasure driving spreads to
the rest of the country, there are
81 other states whose drivers can
get ready for a good mad.
Taking for granted that COM
plants which have trickled in here
from eastern states are typical, al
ready harassed drivers are being
driven crazy by attempts at en-
forcement of this latest tire. saving
device.
OF the first dozen "violators"
hailed before ration boards here,
only two had their ration cards
suspended. One of those who
didn't was night club owner His
was the only car in the clubs free
parking" lot. He, three walters, a
hat check girl, two bartenders, two
cooks and dishwasher were the
only persons in the place. Another
was neighborhood theater own
err. His, too, was the only car on
the theater's private parking lot.
In a midtown parking lot the
ether night, I saw man writing
numbers furiously in little black
book. 1 asked him if he was with
the OPA. mot exactly he explain
ed. I'm a civilian police officer"
II asked how he could tell if all
these cars belonged to persons VIC
lating the non-essential driving
ban. That's easy" he said. Il just
watch and see if boy and girl
or man and woman get out. IT they
10, | know they are going to NOV
lie and take their number
Two things are wrong with the
pleasure driving" ban. Lack of
clear definition as to what exactly
is non-essential driving, and the
methods of enforcing it,
It's apparent already that the
haphazard system of taking down
numbers is going to result in hun
dreds of innocent persons being
called before their ration boards
for questioning. A few will be
caught and fined" SO much gas
but it probably won't make up for
the gas consumed by the innocents
who drive to answer the call.
