 Meanwhile, we're tagging behind in Juneau
 We should be able to realize what the Red Cross to fighting men their loved ones, and all who bear the burden and pain of the nations struggle Probably most of do realize this Yet gratitude and pride demand expression, gratitude fo rthe immense and devoted service the Red Gross renders and pride in the ability of great and humane people to unite under the Red Cross for great and humane end.
 Time when men who went away to were mourned lost from the realm of the living men condemned to death doomed to hopeless suffering They were gone, they written off and their families angusfed, neglected and forgotten.
 That day is far past. As has grown in fury and frightfuncss the forces of compassion have found plant the banner of mercy the face of it's cruelty Today those forces go wherever the fighting goes They share his perils and his loneliness. And back home they stand by those he left behind him.

Doughton, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, likes to consider his committee the most leak proof on Capitol Hill. When a newsman invades the sanctity of one of Doughton's closed-door meetings on tax legislation by dar- ing to report anything that hap pens. the reporter is usually flayed at the next closed-door session and an inquisition is undertaken to de- termine what member leaked
 There was great consternation, therefore, when the Washington Merry Go-Round column recently gave an account of two closed Ways and Means sessions in which Doughton and conservative col leagues lambasted the President for vetoing the tax bill. What further aroused Muley Bob's ire was that he was unable to find out who leaked the story.
 That story had to come from a member who was present. declared one perplexed com m tt e m a n. Some of the statements made were so accurate that Drew Pear son might have been present taking notes"
 Maybe there's a dictaphone bur jed around here some place." ven- tured another facetiously.
 Yes spoke up third member. Tt might be good idea to inves- tigate and find out if Pearson is getting his information that way, since no one will admit talking to him
 No" argued fourth. There were one or two statements in the Pearson story which were not made in exactly the way he put them. He could not very well have got his dope from a dictaphone
 NOTE-This column will award to the first member of the Ways and Means Committee who finds the hidden dictaphone, or other wise solves the mystery, the brass ring entitling him to one free ride on the Washington Merry Go- Round.
