WASHINGTON, Sept 2I-(NEA)-If what Henr, Wallace said last March has any relation to what Henry Wallace has just said in September, argu ment be made that the outspoken and controvers al Secretary of Commerce has paved the way with banana peel for his slip fall and resignation from the Truman Cabinet.
 It was on March ls that Wallace, speaking before the Women's Democratic Club of Washington, brewec up another of the teapot tempests for which he has acquired considerable reputation, if not the grand world championship
 At this luncheon of six months ago, Wallace wa originally reported to have declared that Senators and Congressmen who split the party votes funda- mental issues should be expelled from their party The big idea that he thought stricJer party discipline should be imposed on major political policy deter mined by the President, the majority leader of the Senate and the Speaker of the House.
 
 weeks, then April 10 when the secretary appeared before the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee in opposition to some bill or other, the record re- vised. Under questioning from Republican Senators Clyde Reed of Kansas and Albert w. Hawkes. of New Jersey, Wallace said he wasn't proposing a purge" of Congressmen who didn't follow the party line was he seeking to deny Congressmen their rights to their views.
 All he had meant to propose he said, was that after administration policy the major issues had been determined those in the party who didn't go along and vote for it should not receive committee appointments and similar tavors or honors which the party had to bestoW.
 Wallace hit this idea again in speeches at Los Angeles on April 18, and at San Francisco on April 23. Both speeches. incidentally, before FAC, rallies.

After year of wrestling with the problems of recon version the combined efforts of Congress- the White House and various bureaus have left the country with consist en workable stabzation policy The result is not only exasperating, but discouragng.

WASHINGTON Sept 2I-One of the hottest re- ports in Washington is now almost burning up its filling cabinet in the Justice Department All sorts of pressure is being brought to make never sees the light of day
 It is a report on certain high-placed Americans who co-operated with the Nazs before Pearl Harbor It was prepared by the Justice Departments crack prosecutor John Rogge on the basis of interviews with Hermann Goering and other German prisoners
 However, it steps on some very powerful toes including those of United Mine Workers chief John L. Lewis so the bets are it will never be published Also mentioned unwilling tools of the Naz stooges are Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri (now judge) ex-Senator Gerald Nye of North Dakota, eX-Senator Bob Reynolds of North Carolina (now married to the Mclean Hope Diamond millions, the late Senator Lundeen of Minnesota, Senator Wheeler of Montana, ex-Congressman Martin Sweeney of Ohio and ex- Congressman Stephen Day of Illinois
 It is significant that all the above are now out Of CongreSs-repudated at the polls.
 Several of the Senators-perhaps unwittngly- made speeches written for them by Nazi agents The man who wrote and planted these speeches was George Sylvester Viereck nephew of the Kaiser now serving six-year sentence in jail The Justice De- partmen has now discovered taht Viereck had about $2oO,OOo of Naz gold to spend on propaganda.
 John L. Lewis enters the picture in connection with the trip of w. R. Davis, independent oil pro- ducer, to Germany to contact Goering regarding show how Lewis telephoned certain Mexican Labor friends in Mexico City to introduce Davis and help arrange for him to buy oil for the Nazi regime. The Rogge report also shows how the First Ma tional Bank of Boston loaned the money to finance Daviss German oil deal

are quick to interpret his defeat by Lieut.-Gov. Wilbert Snow as a re- jection of OPA as a campaign is- sue. Perhaps wish to relegate OPA to the background did contribute to Bowles' rejection by convention delegates More significant, however, is the fact that Bowles is a politi- cal figure of untested vote-getting powers.
 Unknown in politics before he became wartime administrator of OPA in Connecticut, preliminary to his promotion to national price con- trol director by the late President Roosevelt, BoWles, in aspiring to the Democratic nomination for gover- nor of Connecticut, was making his first bid to an elective public office Practical politicians obviously were chary of BoWles on the score that he had never been through skir- mish at the polls before. That, more than the fact that he is con- troversial figure lately detached from controversial War-born agency helped to win the nomina- tion for Professor Snow. Poet, pedagog and popular Snow already has demonstrated his hold on a considerable portion of the Connec- ticut electorate by winning election as lieutenant governor while the state was voting in Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin, Republican.
 Whither Bowles now that he has been denied an opportunity to seek an elective political office in his own right? This question does not evoke a ready answer. BoWles ob- viously has been touched by poli- tical fever, however. It is improb- able that he will retire from the po- Ltical arena to return to the ob- scurity of the advertising business. He has been too well advertised throughout the nation for that. At least it would seem that way.

BRITAIN AND THE LAW
(The Springfield Union)

| (1ne Spr1ngnelG UnlOn)
 The squatters who seized empty houses and apartment buildings in Britain may have been Communist led, but in the final analysis most of them will be found to be ordin- ary British citizens, mindful of the law and will capitulate with fuller Opportunity to think over the i'm plications of what they have done,
 This decision will, of course, be somewhat hastened by the fact that the squatterS, such as light, fuel or cooking utensils and the other things required for comfortable liv- ing Moreover, they have been duly served with notice that court action will be taken against recalcitrantS.
 The incident is reminiscent of certain outbreaks among Americans under duresS. In 1887 we had an epidemic of sitdown strikes in de- fance of the means already provided for settling labor disputes. There have been instances of direct action of which, we have not been too proud on reflection. There has at times been violence when there should have been resort to legal action to redress wrongs, real or imagined.
 Perhaps this attitude may in part be set down as an after-effec of the war. Certainly the housing situa- tion, especially in Britain, is critical enough when the most ramshackle and inadequate quarters are seized upon for shelter. But there is noth- ing essentially anarchical about the squatting incident provided it turns out to be only an incident and does not involve a continued disregard of property rights and defiance of governmental authority.
 The British peaple are essentially law abiding. The British Labor gov ernment preSumes to be concerned with the rights and interests of the common run of citizen. Yet, it has taken legal steps to crush this potential rebellion and to bring the offenders to the courts. In the long run it will lose nothing though it may suffer temporary embarrass- ment, particularly in view of it's failure to provide adequate living quarters for the veterans of the war. It will gstn in the longer view be- cause it nas refused to temporize with situation which some gov- ernments might be tempted to deal with far more leniently.
