TRUMAN HEYDAY

Truman's own aids III the White House are still impressed by their new surroundings . Some feel that Truman's rise gives them a blank check to use his power for their own ends :. One youthful aid has been bragging about hav- ing Truman's political enemies sha- dCwed, their wires tapped. . Tru- man, sworn enemy of wire-tap- ping when in the Senate, will prob ably clip their wings soon (. Most powerful man in the Truman entourage is chubby, cigar smoking Brig. Gen. Harry Vaughan, one of the Battery K" boys. who buzzes considerable advice into his Chiefs ear, but now finds it being accept ed with less frequency. The hangers-on are still having a field day around the White House.
 Center of Administration power has partly shifted from the White House to the second floor of the Mayflower Hotel, where Bob Han- negan holds forth in Democratic headquarters Judge Welburn Mayock, the committees new gen. eral counsel, uses the office to lob by for California oil interests. :. George Killiom, the new treasurer of the National Committee, who has been using meat-ax to collect money for the committee from bus mess men may find himself chop ped down soon One ardent Democratic supporter of many years standing hearing about Kill liom's tactics, said, Hell collect so much money we'll lose in AS. Ev- eryone he taps for $5,000 will feel like contributing twice as much to the Republicans to boot the Pauley crowd out" Meanwhile little is happening to set the stage for Democratic victories in the Con- gressional elections next year :.

 Third group are the Battery K" men These are the World War I vets who saw service with Harry Truman in 1917-l8. Most are sat- isfied with a brief 'hello" and a handshake from their hero Others cling to the wrought iron gates of the White House, think that their comradeship with the new Chief Executive is a guarantee of soft government job.

 out millions to help Roosevelt last year, claim they can't even get a glass of water from the Democrats when it comes to bucking ,oppres- sive legislation in Congress, and are now making threats to move over to the G. O. P. camp.
 REPUBLICANS HARMONIOUS
 Farther up Connecticut Avenue at Republican Headquarters things are harmonious . . The Republi- cans are sitting back, are quietly laying the groundwork for a high powered Congressional race next November What they need most of all are some issues. :. G. o. P.'sters, including Chairman Herbert Brownell, are confident they'll find plenty in few months, are hoping that Truman stubs a few toes politically soon. Re- publican Chairman Brownell has a million dollars to spend on the elections, but he's holding on to it, timing his shots so they'll do the most good.
 Truman's cabinet changes thus far have been extremely popular ;. Tall, scholarly new Labor Secretary Schwellenbach has made scores of friends for his depart ment, has infused new life among it's weary employees, has made an Al impression on Congress with his departmental reorganization plan. Schwellenbach eats in the departmental cafeteria, rides the regular elevators, walks around the department casually, keeps a close eye on things. -. Before he's through, Schwellenbach will have several agencies dealing with La- Dor, scattered under Miss Perkins, back under one roof.
 x-Congressman Clint Anderson has the hottest job in the new Ad- ministration trying to straighten out the tangled food mess as Sec retary of Agriculture. Anderson is great red-tape shearer, has already made big Improvements, is no pushover for lobbyists for the farm groups or the pressure boys who represent the meat packers.
 Other changes are taking place fast. . Able Undersecretary of h. terior Abe Fortas plans to resign soon, enter private law practice. :. Favorite crack among Roosevelt holdovers who know their jobs are doomed is, when are they going to throw you farewell cocktail party?" {. Three cabinet mem bers have new books up their sleeves in various stages of prepar- ation. Secretary Morgenthau has one on postwar Germany; Henry Wallice has finished a tome on postwar jobs, and Secretary Ickes has another volume of cur mudgeonisms in the works. '. Wallace's new Undersecretary of Commerce, Al Schindler, is getting the reputation of being the talk ingest man in the Administration

facts are available when and

available readily on both sides of
the question.
There is nothing subversive
about this desire for bi-racial
statistics. There is nothing of
racial hostility in it. There is not
even any deep underlying motive
of any kind back of it. 1t is just
the natural desire Of any group
or individual to know what he
is doing. AS long as the Negro
forms a more or less separate
unit in American life, the Negro,
as we'll as his friends and his
enemies, will enjoy have ready
access to the facts. While tabu-
lating individual records, it would
involve but little more effort to
summarize the data by races. In
this way, policies and public pro-

supposition, and groups spurred
