The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Msjor Robert 8. Allen on active dutyJ


 WASHINGTON inside fact about the row between Jesse Jones and Vice President Wallace was that the Vice President cleared his vitriolic statement with his chief in the White House before hurling it at the Presidents Secretary of Commerce.
 Actually, the President did not see the press release which the Vice President prepared for the newspapers. But he did know all about it. Henry went to see him on Saturday, June 26, and told him in detail how he had labored pa tiently with Jones and how month after month, Jesse had held back and uuibbled over details.
 The Vice President also told ms chief how Jesse had been up on Capitol Hill lobbying with Senators to try to undercut the Presidents own order making the Board of Economic Warfare supreme over Jesse Jones in ordering strategic materials abroad.
 He told how he had exercised all sorts of patience, but believed the only thing to do was to blast Jesse publicly.
 The President listened, gave the Vice President the green light.
 Wallace also sent his statement to the Office of War Information before giving it to the press. lie followed all the rules meticulousiy The Office of War Information oven sent the statement on to the White House with it's OK, pelofe it was published, though 1t was sent merely for White House lnlor- nation. The President did not reao it in advance.
 NOTE: Wallace has coopefaoeo with the President in almost every move he has made since l94o. lhe two men work as team.

WASHINGTON, July 9. = Con- gress is prepared to recess today after disposing of the subsidies issue and passing the disputed ap- propriations measures.
 The Senate passed the bill ex- tending the life of the Commodity Credit Corporation after abandon ing it's efforts to insert prOposi- ton clause against all food subsidy payments. The House then soon passed the measure and it was im- mediately sent to the White House.
 The Senate also abandoned at tempts to revive the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation and make mandatory confirmation by the Senate of all persons employed by war agencies receiving a salary in the high brackets.
 With these stumbling blocks out of the way, legislative action was completed on the two billion nine hundred thousand dollar war agen- cies appropriations measure and also the one billion thirty seven million dollar labor and Federal Security supply bill.
 These were also sent to the White House for FDR's signature.
 LOT TO DO LATER
 WASHINGTON, July 9.-Presi- dent Roosevelt, at the conference with newsmen, said Congress will have a lot to do when it comes back in September He made no further comment on the subsidy issue but intimated he might have something to say later.
