The W ashingto Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON . Harry Truman has received lot of criticism tor not surrounding himself with higher type men in the White House. One reason of course is that Truman is genuinely fond of the oker-play- ing, joke-telling Missourians and Mississippians who are around him.
 On the other hand, few except those on the inside know how hard Truman has tried to get others to join his staff He begged Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., to become Assist ant Secretary of the Navy. He urg- ed Bob Nathan, former Brain Truster for the War Production Board to become an economic ad- wiser.
 One of his most significant talks was with Isador Lubin, a White House secretary under Roosevelt. The talk indicates that Truman at times feels a sense of genuine lone Illness.
 T just can't afford to come back to work for you" Lubin gave as his excuse, when the President first invited him to return. My daugh- ter is growing up and, my expenses are increasing, I just can't live on a government salary"
 The President countered by say ing that perhaps he could find means of meeting Lubin's financial requirements. This had Lubin stumped, and he hesitated. Actual ly, he had other reasons for not wanting to come back, but he didn't want to hurt Trumans feel fngs by saying so. Finally, he blurt- ed
 Well, MT. President, there's something I sort of miss around here"
 s''You mean suggested the Presi- dent, that you miss Roosevelt?"
 Yes" replied Lubin.
 Well, I miss him too," said Tru- man. From the tone of his voice

 Jackson said they will be request ed to hold hearings in Seattle as socn as possible and report back to subcommittee of the House Mer- chant Marine Committee in time to formulate recommendation for he new Congress
 The subcommittee, headed by O hoNIii lltdlQ WllIlCSSto III COll- nection with complaints about scr vice between here and Alaska last August and decided to name a group of experts to delve into all angles of what Jackson termed a complex" problem.
 He pointed out that various solu- tions to the problem of maintain ing merchant marine service to All aska have been suggested, includ- ing subsidies, monopoly by one company or government operation
 Steamship companies operating to Alaska insist they must have higher rates to continue service while Alaskans reply they cannot afford to pay any more.
 The question will become acute March 1 when the government, who operate the vessels on a cost plus basis, will return them to pri- vate operation.

HARRISBURG, Pa Oct. 15.-- A chilly night that drove the mercury down to 38 degrees chased protest ing Philadelphia war veterans from their pup tents pitched before the state capitol, but the eX-GIs re- mained in the city to press for ac- tion on their application for taxi cab licenses in the Quaker City.
 We started out to sleep in the tents, but it got cold and we did not come prepared for that said Nathan Cohen, one of the group.
 He added that the men rotated on tWo-hour shifts in one of the tents while the remainder of the group sought refuge in hotels.
 The war veterans, members of the Philadelphia G. l. Taxicab Associa- ton. pitched camp on the capitol grounds yesterday after dramatically crashing into a closed meeting of the Public Utility Commission. Their application for taxi franchises was filed with the commission Is months ago.
 State employees walking to their offices this morning found on the tents placards supporting the vet erans' cause. One of them read.
 We waited patiently for l5 long months but are not foolish enough to wait until after election.
 Pennsylvania general election is scheduled November 5.
 Louis Israel, President of the Association, said members were pre- pared to remain here "a few weeks if necessary to obtain action or their application.

BARTLETT WANTS
 ALASKA STATE TO
 HAVE ALL RIGHTS
Delegate Takes Issue with Reported Statement by
 Secretary Krug

If Secretary krug were accurate ly quoted in the recent Associated Press story which presented him as favoring statehood for Alaska with reservation of Federal con tlol over the Salmon industry, I wish to go on record as strongly disagreeing with that stand" Dele gate E. L. Bartlett said today be- fore members of the Juneau Rotary Club at their regular luncheon meeting.
 He added that in no previous dis 1-ssions on the subject of state hood had he ever noticed any indi- cation of such stand from Krug.
 ''Krug at no time has ever giv- en me and reason to believe he might be reluctant in allowing an authorized state of Alaska full rights over her resources" Bart lett said.
 He declared that it was highly possible that a reporter might have misunderstood or misinterpreted the Secretary of the Interiors statement.
 If Alaskans had felt there would be any strings attached to state hood, they would never have voted for it." he said. T wouldn't have myself
 Concerning the present Mari time strike, Delegate Bartlett said that the welfare of 90,000 Alaskans should constitute reason enough for interference of the U. s. gov ernment toward enforcing adequate shipping to the Territory.
 Food Shipments Needed He said that on visits to the Pioneers Home he found the lard CT almost bare and in Wrangell citizens had received no food ship ments for weeks.

Starts Off to Break Atlantic Record But Spark
 plugs FouIed

PARIS, Oct. l5. - The U. s. Armys champion long distance plane. the Pacusan Dreamhoat, set out confidently for New York today in an assault on the Atlantic speed record, but returned to Paris less than three hours later with fouled sparkplugs.
 The Army transport command base at Orly Airfield said Col c. s. tBilD Irvine and his crew might make another try for the record over the 3,600-mile route tomorrow
 At the takeoff today, Irvine said he expected the B-29 Superfortress to reach New York within "a little over II hours" to shatter a year-old record now claimed by a VIVA Constellation of IA hours and 39 minutes
 To do that, throttles on the Superfort's four mighty engines would have to be open most of the way. The Dreamboat is capable of more than 400 miles per hour.
 Ii flew it's great trans-polar re- sicl. flight of 9,5eo miles from Honolulu to Cairo in 39 hours and 35 minutes at an average speed of 240 miles through atrocious weather earlier this month. Irvine said that was the fastest time on any flight approaching this dis tance.
 Irvine said the Dreamboat climb ed more than six miles and levelled off at 32,000 feet to obtain an av- craze speed of 400 miles an hour before it turned back.

ACTON IS TAKEN BY
 PRESIDENT
Truman Says De(ontroI Is "0nly Rem edY" for
 Nationwide Shortage

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. - Gov ernment formalities ending price controls on meats went forward swiftly today in the wake of Presi-
 dent Truman's decision that decon- trol is the "only remedy" for the nationwide shortage. First to act were OPA Admins trator Paul Porter and Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P Anderson 1 Porter drafted an order lifting price controls from livestock. meat and other livestock products. Anderson promptly approved it. A formal proclamation ending the controls was to be issued by Porter later in the day.
 ; Along with the passing of price f ceilings on meats. OPA said today
 that slaughter controls also expire {, immediately.
 Slaughter Control Ended Arval Erikson, Director of Meat
 Enforcement for the pricing agency. told reporter that the entire slaughter control program had been ended by President Truman. Under this program the govern
 ment controlled the number of live i animals that could be converted into
 meat by any packer or other slaught- crer.
 The Chief Executive-to the tune
 of Democrats applause and criti- cism. Republican taunts and indus 1 try jubilation also signalled an earlier end to virtually the whole series of wartime restrictions, except these over rents.
 :, To Lift Other Ceilings 1 MT. Truman said the removal of
 ceilings on items other than meat 1 will be speeded up and this will ; hasten the end of wage controls. Sharply reversing his previous stand. the President told the nation
 the real blame" for his action "lies
 at the door of the reckless group of selfish men who, in the hope of gaining political advantage, have ! encouraged sellers to gamble on the 1 destruction of price control" ! Speaking in nation wide broad cast last night, three weeks before
 the Congressional elections, MT Tru-
 man said that OPA and the Agricul- ture Department would formally scrap the meat price lids today. 10 Days Before Relief | However no great quantity of
 meat is expected to begin appearing i, in butcher shops for perhaps 10 days ! the time usually required to get livestock from the farms to meat ! counters.
 | MT. Truman's dramatic decision, 1 climaxing a mounting furore over meatless menus, drew immediate i Republican cries of death bed re- pentance," confession of failure" , and too late"
 In the administration camp the freaction was generally favorable but
 Rep. De Lacy. Seattle Democrat,
 indicated disapproval by calling for
 a National Buyers Strike" to hold | down prices of meat and other <, items
 And Rep Monroney D.-Okla) i termed the Presidents action a body 1 blow at imitation control. | The American Meat Institute hail. ed the decision, but cautioned that it will not mean much more meat
 for consumers in the immediate future"

LEADERS IN SHIP STRIKE
 ARE TO MEET
Will Discuss Proposal 10 End WaIkout = Other
 Troubles Reported
(Bv The Associated Press.

In the All-Coast shipping tieup East and Gulf Coast ship operators have invited leaders of the AFL Masters, Mates and Pilots Union to meet in New York to discuss a pro- posal for ending the stoppage. Frank J. Taylor, Chairman of the Oper- ators' Negotiations Committee, ad- vised Secretary of Labor Schwellen- bach he believed the proposal should be acceptable and form a basis for clearing up the present maritime controversy. Terms were not disclosed
 The government sponsored meet ings in Washington last week be- tween the operators and the CIO Marine Engineers Beneficial Asso- citation collapsed when the operators walked out Schwellenbach had ask ed them to resume the talks today but Taylor said resumption of the sessions would be delayed pending meeting with the AFL union in New York.
 Bullet in Pittsburgh
 A high-powered bullet fired into a large outdoor transformer today re- duced the supply of electricity to the Pittsburgh industrial area. where power already has been sharply cur tailed as result of strike.
 Company officials termed the shot sabotage" A spokesman for the firm said large portion of the transformers load was lest, which means consumers will have to con- serve current more than ever"
 The reduction in electricity forced the Pittsburgh Railways Company, which cnly yesteday resumed oper- ating streetcars on a limited basis, to curtail it's skeleton service. Only about l2 per cent of the city's nor maj number of streetcars were able to operate.
 Mere Trouble
 Meanwhile, @ strike of 50 em- ployees of the Ameican oxygen Company in Harrison, N J., threat ened to exhaust the supply of oxygen to 26 New York hospitals and city health officials said a lack of oxygen supplies would cost mo.e than 100 lives a day"
 Work StOppages
 Meanwhile, in other labor disputes across the country, there were no signs of early success to settle a series of work stoppages.
 However, there was new move aimed to end the l5-day national maritime strike.
 But the strike of 5000 AFL work CTS at 18 of Washington's leading hotels continued and hope for early settlement appeared dim.
 There were similar reports in the AFL jurisdictional dispute in the Hollywood movie studies, and in the bus and electric train walkouts in Chicago.

Mexico City, April 2S-(UP)- Danny oardella, former New York Giant who unped to the Mexican league, said today that Baseball Commissioners A. 3. Chandler and major league club-ownors were giv- ing the United States Q ''black eye" before the Mexican sports public.
 "U. s. baseball has chance to let it's players come to Mexico and show the Mexicans what our coun- try iS like through c clean sport" the New York-born dardella said.
 Unfair "
 "But what do the money-bags up there do2 A handful of birds NlIe Branch Hickey, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers are being unfair to America aS a whole because they are kicking their neiglfbors in the face.
 dardeila was critical of Chand- ler's action in barring players from the major leagues for five years If they play in Mexico.
 They'ge got chance to teach other people democracy through AmericaS own game" he said. But they fail to cooperate"
 The fiery little Italian, who hit hard but fieided uncertainty with the Giants, enthusiastically sup- ported the Idea of union for baSes bali players.
 "rhe players in the states are nuts to let themselves be kicked around by Self.interested club-own. ers," he said.

 "Just judging by my own exper- fence with the Giants, ] think Q union could make for better ball for everybody. Eddie Branaick, Giant secretary, and Mel ott, Giant man. ager, not to mention e number of other gentlemen, are running big league baseball in my estimation"
 dardella said that all players are Vltally interested in trades aftect- ing them, and object to being sent to "just any other club" without re- gard to the players feelings. He said also that players had no chance to get more money than their con. tracts call for when traded by own- CTS.
