THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

Mans earnest pursuit of happi- ness antedates his. every other quest, but because it is made up of the small, quickly forgotten charities, most of us never find it.
 There is no concrete formula for happiness, no blueprint plan to use as a guide. But the desire to do good, concern for the well-being of another pays off in happiness.
 To be complete, it must be shared. For who can be truly hap py in world alone?
 Happiness is unstinted giving and cannot be bought with gold or rank and power. It never de- pends on our station in life or what we have acquired of the worlds f1eeting wealth. But rather 1t is the interest received from wealth that cannot be counted.
 There is in each of US the power to carve out our share of it, be- cause all that we give comes back to us. If our allowance is scanty, then our gifts have been scanty, too.
 It is a merchandise never as scarce as man-made products, for 1t can be purchased with our daily deeds. There is no limit to happi- ness, no restrictions for each man Is his own craftsman.
 Happiness is compassion, good will and tolerance. It is unselfsh love and charitable benevolence. Active generosity to the less for tunate, mercifulness in judging a fellowman......
 It Is a reflection of our every day actions and the more we give away, the more we have left for ourselves.

warmly Satisfac- Doris Fleeson.
tory after initial strains,
In the Senate, Mr.. Byrnes' Repub-
lican counselor, Senator Vanden-
berg, has bestowed again the BIZ
partisan accolade which the Capital
always eagerly awaits. On inter-
national issues, Senator Vandenberg
occupies the same position of lead
|ership that Senator Taft exerts in
domestic affairs and all but the die
hard isolationists On the COP side
of the aisle follow him. Several
Republicans on the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee candidly concede
they wait to see how wan" votes
and go along.
Hull-Welles Falling Out.
Secretary Byrnes' own department
which has known a steadil,- falling
barometer of morale ever since the
big b;ls,-Up several years ago be-
tween its two top men, SecretaIy
Hull and Undersecretary Welles, is
also preening itself in the boss re-
flected glory.
The Hull-Welles falling out which
resulted in Mr.. Welles' resignation
had a profoundly unhappy effect
upon the permanent personnel at
State. They were proud and fond
OF the legendary Secretary Hull, but
they also appreciated Mr.. Welles'
efficiency and fairness in handling
departmental routine with which Mr..
Hull never bothered. There was
never quite factional division in
the department; there were decided
confusion and loss Of feeling of per-
sonal security.
The short career of Edward r.
Stettinius as Secretary deepened
these uncertainties. The novice,
Mr.. Stettinius, was, they knew,
running the department out of
Harry Hopkins Office to which none
OF the second level had access.
From the start the former Lease
Lend administrator and his team"
of Assistant Secretaries were under
attack on Capitol Hill and in the
press which made for departmental

dealing with housing under one
head. The National Housing Agency
created for the war period, took
under its wing and supervision

the Federal Public Housing An
thority, the Federal Home Loan
Bank Administration and all the
others.
Little Kingdoms. On Own.
President Truman's reorganiza-
ton plan would have done little
more than make this coordination
permanent. 1t sought to foreStall
situation which, with the formal
ending of his war powers, would
make each housing agency once
moro an independent little king
dom, operating on its own.
Almost exactly the same thing is
provided in one of the most en-
lightened bits of legislation passed
by the Senate in many a year-the
Wagner -Ellender- Taft bill. Note
the bills last name Senator Taft
is unlikely to go down in history as
a legislative liberal, but he does
have his name on that very for
ward looking measure. AS mat
ter of fact, he worked diligently and
intelligently in the preparation and
promotion of the biH 1t passed the
Senate, but has thus far beer
stynied in the House through a spe-
cies Of Observation-Disclosures that
has aroused Senator Tafts own out
spoken indignation.
If the passage OF the Wagner
Ellender-Taft bill by the House can
be obtained there may be, just as
the Senator argued in the House on
Monday, no need for that portion
of the Presidents reorganization
bill But passage of the WET bill
the one on which the Govern
ment's whole postwar housing pro-
gram rests--has become an uncer-
tain matter The pressure being
exerted against it. by real estate,
private building and lending insti-
tutions may prove too great.
Supervise" VS.. Control
Senator Taft's objection to the
Presidents reorganization plan was
that it gave the National Housing
Administrator too much authority
over the lesser housing agencies. AS
Senator Barkley in good-natured
evaporation finally expressed it,
The Senator from Ohio has asked
the Senate to reject the only plan
that has been sent to the Senate
by the President for the co-ordina-
ton of all the staggering and
sprawling housing agencies in
Washington, merely because of
some supposed difference between
the meaning of the word supervise
and the word control" For him
self, Mr.. Barkley said, he could not
see enough difference between the
authority given under the reorgani-
zation bill and that given in the
Wagner Ellender-T bill ito en-
able one to run a razor blade be-
tween them"
Commencing the fight Senator
Taft had made for the bill bearing
his name, Mr.. Barkley recalled that
Mr.. Taft himself had said there
were some real estate interests In
