Capitals Big Storm
Is Now Blowing Over
But Rocky Road Ahead
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, March 81. = It's
too early to say with certainty, but
it appears the breach between the
President and Congress is being
closed.
The conciliatory way in which
the President met the Senate inves-
tigating committees threat to cite
his administrative assistant, Jona-
than Daniels, for contempt for re-
fusal to testify in the Rural Elec-
trification Administration investiga-
ton, is a most important straw in
the wind.
If the dramatic split between
Senate Majority Leader Alben
Barley and the President and the
positive way Congress backed him
up by overriding the Presidents
veto of the tax bill has cleared the
air, it may be one of the most i'm
portant things that has happened
recently to our home front war eff
fort.
Students of government here tell
me the Congressman were as wrong
in the Daniels case as they charged
the President with being wrong in
vetoing the tax bill. In one in
stance, it was claimed, the Presi-
dent was trying to dictate tax leg
islation, constitutional prerogative
of Congress. In the second. Con-
gress was questioning the right OF
the President to remove an admin
istrative appointee.
What is important isn't the
charge involved in the REA case
but that the President chose to ig-
more the implications behind the
attitude of the Senators. He tolo
Dapiels not only to go ahead ano
answer any questions asked him,
but himself offered to discuss fully
with the committee the allegation
that Daniels, in conference with
Harry Slattery, REA administrator
had requested the latters resigna
ton for purely political reasons.
If it is true, as some authorities
on government say, that it's none
of Congress business if Daniels did
as long as he was acting on in
structions from his chief, then the
President was carrying modification
farther than he ever has before.
Why? Many reasons are giver
but most logical seems to be %

LONDON. March 27.-The Red
Army is poised Tor the first thrust
onto enemy soil after smashing tri-
lumphantly to the Prut River, the
border Of Ktmania from which
Hitler launched the southern wing
of his ill-starred invasion OF Russia
nearly three years ago.
The Russian big guns are already
laying down a barrage in Rumanian
territory, Moscow dispatches said,
and Soviet infantrymen are expect
ed to surge soon across the narrow
Prut which they preached on a So

FACTORS BEHIND MOVE

=
There were several minor factors
behind Stains sudden move, plus
two big factors. The minor factors
were.
/. Badoglio already had permit
ted Comrade Ercoli, Italy's No.
Communist, to return from Russia
to Italy by way of Turkey. What
Communist leader Ercoli has been
doing in Italy is not known, but it
is known that he arrived there after
getting official permission to pass
, through Turkey and with the sane
ton of the Badoglio Government
Therefore, he must be cooperating
with Badoglio. Also, Badoglio had
two Socialist labor men attached to
his Cabinet-Buozzi and Pietro
Mimi
g. Mussolini was one of the first
to reconize Soviet Russia and, de-
spite his TRADES against Commun-
ism, the F'ascists carried on profit
able trade relations with Russia
until the war.
3. Many Russian warships have
been built in Italy, SO that Russian
crews are familiar with italian
technical marine equipment and
can easily operate the Italian fleet
1t may be that hastier and more
willing division of the Italian fleet
will follow as result of Badoglios
recognition.
These were the minor factors
Main factors, however, probably
were Stains growing restlessness
regarding our failure to open the
second front and the rumor that. it

The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
cit. col. Robert 8. Allen now on active
service with the Army

WASHINGTON = Senators VINO
have learned the full facts nave
been flabbergasted at what happen
ed Just before Stain recognized the
Badoglio government. Most people
didn't know it but, just few days
before, the President had finally
sent a message to Prime Minister
Churchill saying that B a dogllo
would have to go.
The President long had received
urgent advice from various men
around him that Badoglio was a
drain on the Allied effort and must
be ditched. General Eisenhower,
when he came back here in Janu-
airy, was anything but enthusiastic
about BadogIio and felt that the
poor response of the Italian people
in aiding the Allied armies might
be due to their dislike of Badogllo.
The President was loath to have
a showdown with Churchill, for the
British so far have been the de-
TENDERS of the House of Savoy and
have hoped that the throne OF Italy
might be preserved. About two
weeks ago, however, the President
finally acted. And about two days
later, the Russians, without con-
Sulting either us or the British,
recognized the man we wanted to
bounce.
That was why Secretary Hull ask
ed Stain for explanations and was
obviously boiling mad.

involving payment of $780,.
600 to $50 employees Of the WASH
ington Terminal Co. was announced
today by Richard E. Tydings, rep

motive Firemen and Enginemen.
The payment represents back pay
claimed by employees Of the company
since November %, 1898, when the
Railroad Adjustment Board
in Chicago ruled that employees Of
the terminal had q right to all the
switching work on the company's
The company had maintained that
the work should be done by the reg
ular train crews Of the railroad COM
panies using the terminal facilities.
After the adjustment board had
ruled with the employees the COM
pany took the fight to the Federal
District Court, the Circuit Court Of
Appeals and finally the Supreme
Court, which on June 1e, 1943, ruled
the company had no right to an
appeal Of the adjustment boards

Since the 1898 ruling every man
who failed to get a regular eight
hour days work because Of the COM
pany's contention that the regular
train crews should do the switching
has put in a time card for q full
days work. according to Mr.. Tyd-
ings.
The union has agreed to allow the
regular train crews to do the work
for the duration Of the war since
all the terminal engine crews now
are working full time, Mr.. Tydings
said.
Bernard r. Tolson, general man
ager of the Washington Terminal,
confirmed the settlement and said it
was "amicably arrived at"
