The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ct. Col Robert 6. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON-It has been said that oratory is on the wane in America, that great figures who dare to speak out on the Senate floor have disappeared, that the real power of the Senate is now exercised in committee by strong, silent men with no grace for speech.
 Those who heard Tennessee's Senator Kenneth McKellar haran- que his colleagues on the subject of this columnist the other day are wondering if this is true. Opinion is divided. But both sides agree that the gentleman from Tennessee hit the high watermark for gorgeous invective.
 Ordinarily, this columnist doesn't consider himself worth forty-five minutes of the Senate's time and twelve columns in the Congressional Record but, since Senator Mcclellan is anxious to get circulation, this column is delighted to oblige. So we give you Senator McKellar of Tennessee speaking on the Senate floor in rebuttal of a Merry Go Round report of his feud against the Tennessee Valley Authority: NO MOUNTAINEER McKELLAR
 MT. President, have been shown an article by one Drew Pearson, a so-called columnist. I wish to read from that article and comment upon it.
 Pearson says: For 32 long years in Congress, blustery naountaineer Kenneth McKellar < *'
 T digress long enough to say that I do not know MT. Pearson, but really he is an ignorant ass, is he not? Gaughter) I was not born in the mountains. Yet this ignorant, blundering, lying ass seems to think there is something dis creditable about mountains. The truth is that it is not a dishonor to be mountaineer. Only a blat- ant jackanapes would have made point of that.
 He is just an ignorant liar, a pusillanimous liar, peewee liar. ] understa md he and Lilienthal David Lilienthal, Chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority are great friends. They are two of a kind. What is filter than two liars standing up for each other?
 His further statement is that ] am famous for my patronage. That is simply willful, deliberate, malic- ious newspaperman's lie, out o1 whole cloth. That is all it is.
 T read more of the article When tt comes to temper, the Sen. ator from Tennessee surpusses an1 other man on Capitol HILL
 "No one could tell about that because that is matter of opin- ion. on which probably no two per sons would agree. It may be that I have temper.
