The Washington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
CMajor Robert g. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON. = Final decision
to GUST both Jesse Jones and Wal
lace from any connection with Eco
nomic Warfare, replacing them with
Leo Crowley, was attended by much
inner White House debate and per-
sonnet juggling. 1t showed signi-
ficantly how the Presidents new
crop of advisers line up.
The solution first proposed by
ex-Justice Jimmy Byrnes was to
make Wallace's director, Milo Per-
kins, an Assistant Secretary of State
under Corde1 Hull. This would have
kept Perkins, an able administra-
tor thoroughly familiar with Eco
nomic Warfare, but put him back
under the State Department, where
Economic Warfare was originally.
Two years ago Secretary Hull got
his Tennessee dander up when this
job was transferred away from his
slow-paced diplomats and he has
never stopped pulling wires to get
it back
Not many people know it, but in
the. end, it was Tom Corcoran who,
in the present imbroglio, swung the
Economic Warfare job away from
Hull to Leo Crowley.
The young brain truster, former
ly the Presidents closest adviser,
had been euchred out of his White
House intimacy by Harry Hopkins.
So this was a real triumph.
Hopkins, now closest to the Presi-
dent, spiked Corcoran long ago;
but Tommy still has powerful
friend in Justice Byrnes, also in
Ben Cohen and Leo Crowley. Thus
indirectly, Corcoran was able to
convince the White House that
Economic Warfare should not go
back to the State Department,
where it had sagged woefully, but
should get fresh, new blood through
Crowley.
NOTE: Whether it can get that
fresh blood through Crowley re-
mains to be seen. An AL executive,
Crowley is already overburdened
with Federal Deposit Insurance and
Alien Property Custodian. He has
done a good job. but SO did Jesse
Jones before he took on too many
responsibilities.
