BOONE, Ia., Nov. 20-Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, who spent most of two days at the hospital bedside of his wife, recovering from bron- chial pneumonia, says he favors taking the wives of occupation troops to Europe after we have gotten down to occupation forces" '"
 Gen. Eisenhower, in a press con- ference prior to leaving for the American Legion convention in Chicago and after being advised by physicians that his wife was lon the road to recovery" said his policy will give the wife of the lowliest GI. the same right as any officers wife, or my wife, for in- stance"
 The general explained the great problem of getting military gov ernments established in Germany and of getting large numbers Of troops home made it difficult to estimate when such a policy might be put into effect.
 He asserted the German situa- tion might be classed as harsh and forbidding, but not black and tragic. The United States is not going to let people die of mass starvation. That, won't be done"
 Asked if he expected any trouble with Russia, the general remarked, NO, of course I don't expect any trouble with Russia. If I did, I'd want every soldier I could keep there"

The Washinqto Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-A special com mittee of Congress ought to be appointed just to watch the House Judiciary Committee. More legisla- tion designed to rob the taxpayer and harm the public interest is reported out of that committee than almost any other in Congress Here is the latest.
 House Bill 2788, just reported out of the Judiciary Committee. would limit to a period of one year the time in which the Federal Govern ment could prosecute various crimi- nal acts. In other words, if vio- Iator of the law could get away with it and remain undetected for one year after the tranSgression, the Statute of Limitations would have run, and he couldn't be prose- cuted.
 For instance, the proposed law provides that if anyone defrauds the government in disposing of surplus property, he can't be prose- cuted after one year. It is already evident that surplus property is going to be one of the biggest sources of scandal in recent history, and it would be impossible for even J. Edgar Hoover to track down all irregularities in one year.
 The Judiciary Committee also proposes that if the director of a national bank violates the law and can get away with it for one year, he can't be prosecuted after that.
 The same is true of copyright infringement, violation of civil rights statutes, fraud in registra- tion of public lands, and violation of the Wage-Hour Act. The latter is particularly interesting. An em- ployer could wilfully violate the wage-hour law knowing that if he gets caught, all he will have to do is pay a fine for that one year Yet he might have been violating the law for three, four or five years. Such a provision, according to Labor Department officials, would be an open invitation to em- ployers to thumb their noses at the Wage-Hour Act.
