The Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Lt. Col Robert S, Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON = If Vice Presl- dent Thomas Marshall were alive today, he would reaffirm what he said in Woodrow Wilson's day that what this country needs is good five-cent cigar"
 Looking over the aftermaths of the late campaign, it's rancor and it's political wounds, this columnist suggests that what this. country needs is good Dolly Gam social war-something to take our minds off politics.
 Now if Mrs. Henry Wallace could just be persuaded to get into a row with Mrs. Harry Truman as to who should sit where at dinner, we would all have something to talk about If only Senator Tru- man could be persuaded to issue a statement that, as Vice Presi- dent-elect, he considers it the pre- rogative of his wife to enter the dining room ahead of Mrs. Henry Wallace! Then we could begin to forget our troubles.
 Things weren't so tense in the Hoover Administration, and folks weren't thinking so hard about war and politics But even so, Vice President Charlie Curtis patrioti- cally came forward with an official announcement that his half-sister, Dolly Gam, was entitled to sit ahead of the wife of the Speaker

GOVERNMENT DEPENDED

LONDON, Dec. 8-Prime Min ister Winston Churchill today staked the fate of his Government when he defended British interests in Greece and Italy, declaring that all Britain wants in liberated coun- tries is governments which guar antee us the necessary security of our lines of communications"
 Upholding the use of tanks and troops against the Left Wing forces in Greece, Churchill said Britain acted to insure that the gangsters didn't descend from the mountains and install themselves and all their bloody terror and vigor in power :"
 As for the Americans supporting Count Sforza, Churchill told Con- mons Britain simply didn't trust him nor would we put the slight est confidence in any Government, of which he was dominant mem ber."
 The move to name Sforza as Italian Foreign Minister brought British opposition and a blunt statement from Secretary of State Edward Stettinius, Jr., that the United States didn't oppose the long-exiled Count and furthermore, wanted the Italians. to determine the course of their own Govern ment.
 Opposition Challenged
 Churchill, challenging the oppo- sition to a vote of confidence, de- nied his Government had broken any agreements with the United States or with Italy.
 As the debate opened, after Churchill sat down, Tom Driberg, Independent, charged Churchill with "an unworthy piece of black mail in throwing out this sort of challenge" Predicting Churchill would not be dismissed "by this largely servile House." Driberg de- clared: "he says we know where we are going. I think he is going against world opinion"
 A specific issue in the amend ment, by Laborite Seymour Cocks, calling upon the House to express regret fo "a recent speech of King George, gave no assurance that Britain's forces would not be used ito disarm friends of democ- racy in Greece and in other parts of Europe or not suppress these popular movements which have valorously assisted in the defeat of the enemy" s
 If what is called in this amend ment, action of the friends of de- mocracy" cried Churchill scorn- fully, then it is to be interpreted as a carefully planned coup de etat by murder gangs and by iron rule ruffians seeking to climb into the seats of power without a vote ever having been cast in their favor If that is to masquerade as democracy think the House would be united if they condemned it as a mockery."

 Simultaneously. British Am bassador Lord Halifax announced in Washington that the Ameri- can and British Governments had achieved an understanding in the Greek and Italian issues, with out defining the understanding"

quite a dilemma. the Capitol can
tell you, via us.
When night club customers get
an idea, they are one of the most
tenacious lots you ever heard Of.
Confirmation of this truism is to
be had from Georges, head man of
the Club Jalna, who confirms 1t
with the reluctance of a tactful per-
SON
The idea which has occurred to
Jalna customers is that there should
be a revival of the dance act,
Georges and Jalna. at the local club.
1t keeps popping up almost nightly,
especially among those who re-
member the team vividly as one Of
the best that ever illustrated what
dancing could be like if people spe-
cialiZed in it.
Just what will come of the pro-
posal, Georges does not know He
will concede, however, that he
might take up the subject with
Jalna some day. Were she to say
yes, it is possible that they might
run through part of their old rou-
tine at the Vermont avenue club
some night or nights.
Pressure groups operate even in
night clubs, it seems.
