Smart Politicos
Oufsmart Themselves

When Senator La Toilette raised
a memorial to his senatorial career
in the form of one of the most pro-
gressive pieces of legislation affect
ing the internal affairs of the con-
gress, the reorganization act, some
thing occurred which the liberal
wing of the Democratic party didn't
realize was being done, and which
has caused them no little concern
ever since its practical application
dawned' upon them.
What happened was not Senator
La Follette's fault, but the result of
that ancient evil, seniority, which
the original reorganization measure
would have eliminated. Congress
couldn't accept that radical depar-
ture and seniority still operates. I'm
der this procedure senator auto
matically becomes chairman of any
committee to which he is appointed
if he has been a member of the
senate longer than any other men,
Der of the majority party on the
committee. This system has long
been recognized as an evil.
Just having been around longer
than anybody else is frequently less
than a recommendation. Unfortu-
nately there are too many cases
where stuffed shirt and an empty
head, although they can win votes
from constituency, provide con-
tribution which contributes less
than nothing to the highly impor-
tant function of running commit
tee. And chairmen have become
even more important now that
there are fewer of them.
Administration Democrats might
have acted otherwise had they real
lied what they were doing. Be-
cause of the seniority rule, only two
northern Democrats will retain
their chairmanships when the new
and modernized congress organizes
next January. They are Walsh of
Massachusetts and Wagner of New
York (provided, of course, they are
reelected and the Democrats hold
their place as majority party.
The rest of the chairmanships 60
to the South and since some SOUTH
ern senators persist in voting
against the more liberal measures
of the administration and joining
with the Republicans on others just
to show their independence, it
leaves the liberal Democrats in a
somewhat precarious position.
There is another factor which
doesn't sit too well with number of
northern Democrats, either. Under
the new set-up, the chairman of a
committee will be more influential
than ever for he now is provided
with large and efficient staff. The
work of his committee will be more
important than formerly because
committee work won't be spread as
thin as it was.
Since the circle of chairmen is
more exclusive and since a men,
ber's perquisites and contacts will
be greatly increased, chairman
| ship is juicier plum than ever.

Disposal of Aluminium,

They point out the distribution
of facilities for the manufacture OF
the light metals, especially alumni
mum. It was feared that the ALUMNI
mum Company of America might
benefit to the exclusion Of competi-
ton or potential competition. But
as a result of the cooperation OF
Stuart Symington, when he was Sur
plus Property administrator, there
are now three lusty competitors IN
the field, all apparently having
benefited from a fair distribution
of the war enterprises made avail
able to them on equal terms.
However, other Pharaohs came

tives are said to have destroyed the
pattern. Present WAA officials deny
this, but the Small Business COM
mitteemen expect to prove their
charges in open court.
The first step which the Small
Business boys would like to see TAX
en- is the appointment of an admin
istrator on whom they agree. They
feel the official should be civilian
rather than an army man. The IN
cumbent. at this writing, Maj. Gen.
Robert Littlejohn, is said to have
expressed the desire to be relieved
of WAA responsibilities, but no sue
cessor has been indicated.
The next step desired, after the
hearings, is thorough reorganiza-
ton of methods and, if necessary, an
overhauling of the whole set-up OF
the agency. This, proponents of the
idea claim, will not only be in the
good of the veteran, the business
man and the national economy but
in the good of the party, as well.

Legislation Is Urged
To Retain Production
OF Synthetic Rubber
BY the Assoeioisd Press

br tUo SsS0tfoseo yt0SS
Congressional action to keep alive
the war-born $500, 900, 900 synthetic
rubber industry Is being urged by
some Civilian Production Admin
istration officials.
These officials say privately that
national security reasons make 1t
imperative for the Government to
continue controls over rubber, even
though production Of the natural
product Is on sharp upswing.
AS move in that direction, they
contend legislation is needed to re-
place the War Powers Act, which
expires next March 81, SO that tire
and rubber manufacturers may be
compelled to use a substantial
amount of synthetic rubber.
Such action, these officials say,
would keep the synthetic rubber in
dustry on running basis until Con-
gress decides a national rubber
policy, which probably would include
subsidy for synthetic plants.
May Abandon Synthetic Rubber
One fear expressed is that left
to themselves, the manufacturers
might turn back to natural rubber
and thus virtually abandon the syn
thetic industry.
Continuation of the war powers,
as affecting the rubber industry.
was advocated in the wake Of OPA's
action last night in boosting the
amount of natural rubber permitted
in passenger car tires.
For small tire sizes. the content
was raised from 13 to % per cent
and for large passenger tires from
13 to Ct per cent.
The increase was made possible
by the recent agreement with the
British to obtain more than zoe, ,00C
tons of natural rubber from the Far
East by the end Of this year, said

premium" tires, commanding an
extra price for quality, some officials
reported. OPA has forbidden pre-
MUM pricing" ever since synthetic
rubber became the standard tire
material.
The clause In question permits a
manufacturer to increase the
amount of natural rubber by 10 per
cent in any tire size, so long as he
reduces the amount In other sizes
suficiently to stay within his total

allotment. Thus q So per cent
natural-rubber tire could be pro-
duced instead Of 23 per cent. BY
thus improving the natural rubber
content, q company might be able
to justify before OPA the charging
of a higher price, though OPA is not
committed to make any such In
crease.
A wedge was entered also for the
eventual return of white sidewall
tires. Their production has been
Evening star., 1946-11-01

banned since the outbreak Of war
because they take longer to manu-
facture. OPA's new order permits
production of so a month in each
tire plant, so that the industry may
familiarize itself with the prob
lens involved.

World Day of
Prayer Service
To Be March 3

Residents of this area are invited
to join in the fellowship of prayer
around the world on the World
Day of Prayer" Friday, March 8,
at 2 pm. at the Presbyterian
church in Wyandotte.
Theme for the day is "the things
that make for our peace" Locally
the event is sponsored by the Wy
andotte Council Of Church Women
Of which Mrs. R. L. Beal is chair
man. The message will be delivered
by the Rev. Milton H. Bank of the
Trenton Methodist church.
This ANIMAL globe-circling Day Of
Prayer continues to grow as there
are no time limits, no cline limits,
no race limits, no space limits.
A navy transport undoubtedly
provided the most unusual setting
in mid-Pacific last year. Below
deck were 68 women. Fifty from
China, 16 from India, voicing pray
ers for their restless land, one from
Burma and one from Malaga, all
praying for worldwide peace.
What is needed in this import
ant year of new peace is a greater
fellowship with each other. 1t is
the hope of the Council that every
one will make plans to attend. A
responsible attendant will be on
hand to care for small children.

Shortly before his arrest he sent
a letter to Minister of Interior

that he intended to run for cleo

himself up if he were promised
fair trial. He said that he had no

CIOak-and-MaSk Robin Hood
ROamed Italy for Six Months

ROME Wp)-Feared by the rich
and adored by the poor, Italy's
pint-Size Robin Hood" has been
arrested by the police after a six
month chase from Naples to Flor
ence.
Reminiscent Of the famous Not
tingham gentleman-robber an d
known simply as La Marca, this
bandit commanded a band of 600
men, robbing black marketeers and
war profiteers. He distributed a
large share of his loot among the
poor farmers in the Roman hill
towns, where entire villages were
wiped out during the push on
Rome.
La Marca which means The
Mark-had never been seen up to
the time of his arrest. He always
was masked and wore a flowing
velvet cloak.
Looted Hundreds Of Villas
La Marca successfully raided
hundreds of rich villas sprinkled
from Naples to Florence, making
off with millions in money and
jewels. Every Monday morning a
lump sum of 10000 lire would ar
rive by mail TO a small bank in
Frosinone, near Rome. with a note
reading simply For the Poor" and
signed by the modern Robin Hood.
La Marca made the Sherwood
Forest merry-makers look like a
bunch Of pikers. He would kidnap
rich country esquires, dine and
wine them and, once he got his
ransom, would send them back
home with their pockets bullying

Mr.. Murphy was member of a

orders from u. S. Army Chemical
Warfare Service and the Techni-
cal Industrial Intelligence Com
mittee.
DIVISION OF GERMANY
BASIS FOR THIRD WAR
Mr.. Murphy complimented the
accomplishments Of Americ
chemists as contrasted to results
he observed in German plants
which were largely intact due to
a bombing policy of completely
demolishing all transportation. This
stopped chemical plant operation
but preserved them for postwar
usefulness. But Mr.. Murphy was
anything but complimentary to the
policies advocated by American
military and governmental author
tiles. Mr.. Murphy feels that the
four way division of Germany into
zones OF occupation may be the
basis of third world war.
"A WHEEL IN EACH HAND"
Again paying tribute to Ameri-
Can productivity, Mr.. Murphy told
of an aged German watching an
endless line of G.. I. Transportation
Asked why Germany lost the war,
the old man replied, You Ameri-
cans must be born with a wheel in
each hand" He emphasized that
there are scores of developments
that could be utilized from the
chemical technical material COL
lected by the U. S. intelligence
teams, but that We are as lacking
IL. a policy in cataloging and using
this data as We are in a policy for
governing our part of Germany.
RUSSIANS TRANSPLANT
GERMAN INDUSTRY
Mr.. Murphy said that he under
stood that in the Russian zone en-
tire German plants were being
transported into the Soviet Union.
and that the English were plan
ming on using the plants in their
zone for manufacturing English
goods, for without goods to sell,
England cannot exist. On a limited
scale, Mr.. Murphy advocates the
importation of key German chem
lists into the United States to work
III fundamental research under
government direction for the COM
mon good of all citizens of our
country.
