 Enemy-set fires are still burning in three sections of Manila, but appeared to be diminishing. Maj. Gen. Oscar Griswold, commander of the Fourteenth Corps, told As- sociated Press Correspondent Fred Hampson "a lot of this destruction is wanton and has no military purpose Griswold said Americans were virtually powerless to stop the enemy demolition crews, who have turned much of the heart of Manila into blackened ruins.

The W ashingt ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON u,t. Col. Robert & Allen now on active
 service with the Army.l

WASHINGTON-T tragic death of former Soviet Ambassador to Washington, Constantin Oumansky, now permits publication of an un- told story regarding the Oumansky family.
 The airplane crash in Mexico was the last chapter in trail of hard luck which dogged the family from the time of his recall from Wash ington. Few top diplomats and State Department officials were neutral about Oumansky. He was either thoroughly liked or disliked by all, After his return to Moscow, Oumansky was made head Of the powerful Tass Agency, which was something of a demotion.
 But after Pearl Harbor, when the Soviet Union joined the United Nations, Stalin decided he needed a first-rate man in Mexico to cul- tivate Russian friendship with Latin American powers. So Oum- ansky was selected for this im- portant task. At the time, Oum- ansky's beautiful Is year old daughter, Nina, was a student at one of Moscow's finest schools. There she had met young boy who fell madly in love with her. While her parents were away from Moscow and just before the family was to leave for Mexico City, the young lad, slightly .crazed, killed Nina Oumansky, then shot him. self
 The entire incident was hushed completely at the time, even was kept from Mrs Oumansky, who never knew the real cause of her daughters tragic end and believed she had been accidentally killed in a fall. American newspapers even reported the fall as having oc- cured in the United States
 Members of the diplomatic corps who knew of the incident never mentioned it publicly, and when Mrs. Oumansky crashed to her death in Mexico, she was still ig- norant of how her daughter died
 Some Russians felt there was perhaps poetic justice in the bad luck which followed the Ouman- skys. They remembered how when Oumansky was counsellor of the Embassy in Washington and Am bassador Troyanovsky was his chief, Oumansky sent reports back to Stalin which caused Troyanovsky's recall and dismissal from the dip lomatic service. Oumansky then took his place as Ambassador
 Many American officials and members of the diplomatic corps felt that this was a mistake on the part of the Kremlin since Troya-

Byrnes Hiis Congress Bold Swat by Speaking

By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON. Feb 10.-That gentle prodding that second presi- dent James F. Byrnes gave Con- gress to reyamp, reyitalize and streamline itself in his recent tAmerican) magazine article is im- portant.
 It's important, not because it suggests anything really new, nor because it will lead directly to any drastic action on the part of Con- gress to put it's houses in order, but because of the man who came cut flat-footed for those changes.
 OWMR director Jimmy Brynes is one of the most powerful and Respected figures in Washington to- day Tn spite of his present execu- tive job, Congress tor most of it) Jimmy one of the boys "A former member who has made good by his own ability and with cut sacIificing his independence.
 As for Byrnes recommendations, that's something else again For more than year, I have talked to reform" and ~anti-reform mem Eers Of Congress in both wings of the capital. Based on those many conversations, here's my guess as to what chances the Byrnes' recom- mendations have.
 1) Reduction in the size of Congress (it could only come in the House, unless the Senate were cut in two) is poSt-postWar dream that won't even be considered now.
 (2) Higher salaries (noW Sl0,000 a year) for members. This will be enacted the very minute that pulp lie opinion gives Congress the green light, but probably not while any wage ceiling formulas on labor are prevailing. The allowances for staff wages of members have already been increased and many may be due for further change.
 C3) Revision of the committee system, reducing the standing com mittees from around 30 to about 20. This will be fought every inch of the way and only a preponder- ance of public opinion will accom- plish it. There may, however, be some slight reyisions-such as tele- scoping of committees whose activ- tics overlap or re-definition of the responsibilities of some com mittees.
 (4) Creation of congressional cabinet. composed of committee chairmen, to confer with the presi- dent at regular intervals. Depen- dent mostly on (3). A congression- al cabinet Of 30 members would not be very effective body.

The Normal College was a char
ter member OF the league and Pro-
fessor Fred l.. Ingraham, instruc-
tor in reading In public speaking in

call the first meeting for the form
alton of the league. The Normal

ter that by Professor j. Stuart
Lathers who carried on until the
work was taken over by Dr. Fred
erick B. Mckay in the fall of 1911.
During the years, Michigan State
Normal orators have measured high

sending representatives into the nd
tional contests.
In the 1920 decade, debating be-
came a part OF the league contest,
and since then there have been
added ex tempore speaking and in
