The Senate Campaign Expend-
iture Committees investigation
into the publications and radio
broadcasts of Senator w. Lee
O'Daniel, the Biscuit Passin'
Pappy of Texas, should set off
a lot of campaign fireworks. AL
ready the O'Daniel forces are
charging it's a smear plot and an
attempt to ruin his good name
and reputation.
But the curious fact is that
Senator O'Daniel isn't runnirE
for anything this year and
wouldn't have to run for office
until 1948 if he didn't want to,
his Senate term expiring in Jan
uary, 1949. In spite of that, o
Daniel has been more active than
many 1914 candidates and that
has apparently caused the Senate
Committee Investigators under
Robert T. Murphy to wonder
why. Pappy has again started
publication of the w. Lee O'Dan-
iel News, a violently anti-New
Deal weekly whose masthead
gives the office of publication
as P. o. Box 2606, or 18th and
H ST., N. W., Washington, D. c.,
but is actually printed and mail
ed from Fort Worth, Tex. Appli-
cation for second-class mailing
permit is pending. An initial
press run of 100000 copies a
week was indicated, but it is
understood this has been mater
tally reduced. Even so, this is
no shoestring operation and
there are questions on where
the money comes from and
where the paper comes from,
considering WPB limitation or
ders. Three tons of paper per
issue would be required for l00,-
900 copies of an eight-page is
sue.
On the air through recordings
made in Washington, Pappy is
broadcasting 15minute programs
over ID stations-seven in Okla
homa, five in Texas, and in AL
buquerque, Billings, Los Angel
es, Nashville, Louisville and
Lexington. The questions here
are what interest a Texas sena-
tor has in Montana, California,
Tennessee and Kentucky, even
if you grant there might be some
sense in his using outlets in Ok
lahoma, and again, where does
the money come from?
Early in June, O'Daniel sent
out a circular letter on letter

Committee, of which he is a

BAD SAMARITAN

DENVER, Oct. 24-(P)-Mrs.
Callie Smith told police she tried
to retrieve two money sacks
which had fallen on to the street
from the open door of an ar
mored car.
She wanted to return them to
the driver who drove away una
ware of his loss. But she wasn't
quick enough. A man scooped
up the sacks one containing
$3.50 and the other 1000 pen
nies-placed them in truck
and sped away. He told Mrs.
Smith: "I'll catch up with the
car and give it back to them"
But he didn't.

The reference was apparently TO
Lyndon Johnson, whom ODan-

Anyway, O'Daniel closed his
letter by saying that the people
dug down in their pockets and
contributed 100000 then, and
this money was all put in the

Individual issues sell for a
dime. One of the rare sights of
Washington Is to see Senator
O'Daniel himself, a packet of pa
pers under his arm, walking
across the street from the Wash
ington Hotel, where he lives, to
the news stand opposite the
Treasury, to give the home town
paper butcher his supply of the
w. Lee ODaniel News for the
week.
Actual makeup of the paper
in Texas Is entrusted to Garfield
Crawford, who is also secretary
treasurer of the Common Citi-
zens' Radio League, which ham
dies or sponsors some of the o.
Daniel broadcasts. Crawford s
name bobs up all through the
O'Daniel records and he has
been subpoenaed to appear be-

Windsor Tavern
Law Explained
By MARGARET RUSSELL

TO that in Canada where there
are rooms for ladies and ladies
with escorts" be adopted here,
hoping thereby to eliminate the
pickup" problem.
How is the plan working out
in Windsor?
Over there most Of the taverns
abide strictly by the law that I'M
escorted women shall occupy a
separate room away from the un-
escorted men.
Most of the Windsor women
are in wholehearted accord with
the law for they believe it is a
good protection for women who
like 10 enjoy a bottle of beer
alone.
Taverns in Windsor. are open
on two or three shifts day, gen.
orally from IL a. m. TO 2 p. M;
from 4 p. m. to $50 p. m, and
from 7:30 to 10 p. m. All places
in the downtown section are
closed by 10 p. m, which authori-
ties feel eases most of the nui-
sance problems.
Another rule prohibits children
from the beverage rooms at all
times.
However, in spite of the Cana
dian law. several places in the
downtown section run in open
violation. There as IN Detroit
unescorted men and women drink
in the same rooms.
While most OF the Windsor
women are in favor Of the sep
arate room rule. one woman with
four sons in service, one a hero
of the Dieppe raid, had this TO
say:
"YOu tell your Miss Hutzel,
AZ have told the Windsor
authorities, to get m arried
women 10 give up their jobs and
20 back to their homes and
families. Lots of the women
who are hanging around
taverns are married. IL they
thought more Of their families
than they did Of money they'd
he home"
