Probe on Germany

WASHINGTON Oct 12-(NEAA-West Virginia Senator Harley M. KilgOre's National Defense COm- mittee is sending it's Chief Counsel George Meader and assistant investigator of Europe this week for months probe into costs and operation of U. S. military government in Germany and Austria.
 When Kilgore and Meader called at the White House to explain to original Committee Chairman Harry Truman what they were up to, the word passed out that there would be further publicity until Meader got back. The big idea is that he will make confidential report to the committee If the committee then thinks there is pay dirt it will go Germany itself Tor formal public hearings This would be after elections when the senators have time for world problems Right now the only thing that counts is reelection.
 The War Department originally asked Congress for $500 million to the costs of military gov the year ending July l, 1947. The House cut the amount to $35O million, the Senate restored it to $500 million. They compromised at $425 million.
 But when Congress reconvenes in January the War Department will be there begging for deficien- cy appropriation of another $500 million or so In short, military is costing U S. taxpayers nearly three-quarters of billion dollars year.
 lot of items in the cost analysis are not prop erly chargeable to military government Caring for displaced persons Feeding the people. Trying to get Germany back on it's feet it's financially self supporting.
 The War Department wants to get out of this business Its position is that the Armys job is to fight wars or prepare for next wars And with all the hulabaloo being raised about cutting down on military expenditures, the War Department would like to get this three quarter billion dollars worth of military government off its budget.
 There lot of fancy sky-writing around Washington during the war, trying to spell out the nasty word that the Army was going to take over

California has one of the most talked-about figures politically in he nation-GOv. Earl Warren.
 He earned enough attention in his first two years as Governor to be keynote speaker at his party 1914 convention and to be sought after nominee by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York He gained credit shrewd politician when he refused to accept that bid. He foresaw accurately what was going to happen in the fourth Republican attempt to beat Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 Now he is enjoying new blaze of political glory by his amazing feat of winning both Republican and Democratic nominations for second term as governor in the primary This shook the Democratic Party m this state once so triumphant in MT. Roosevelts tenure of office that it is today shattered and demoralized
 I asked him what everybody asks about the l948 Republican Presidential nomination He smiled pa tienty the big desk in his modernstic office at the Capitol here.
 q don't want any job in Washington. It's hard for people to understand that and beef 1t, put It's true My job is here" Then he talked enthusiastically about his state
 It's the joyous talk of pleased surprise. year ago Governor Warren and others here had gloomy forebodings. None has materialized. None of the gloomy visions of widespread plant shutdownS ex cept for shipbuildng and some alrpane curtalment; no hordes of unemployed To the contrary, nearly all industry is doing better than ever. Many new industries have started. Instead of an exodus from the state there is steady immigration. Cafornias population is bigger than ever.
 Despite his keen interest in California, it is natural for people to talk of prospects of call to still higher office for the Republican Party is looking for a man-and a vote-getter, such as he is So out side visitors question those who have observed his career closely What about him? Is he Presidential timber? You get varying answers.
 On the record he is in the Progressive Repub- can tradition, perhaps with some modification here

WASHINGTON Oct, Hilary Truman has ceived lot of criticism for not surrounding himself of course is that Truman is genuinely fond of the, poker-playing joke-telng Mssourians and Misss- sippians who are around him.
 On the other hand, few except those the inside know how hard Truman has tried to get others to join his staff. He begged Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr to become Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He urged Bob Nathan, former Brain Truster for the War Production Board to become economic adviser.
 One of his most significant talks was with Isador Lubin, White House secretary under Roosevelt The talk indicates that Truman at times feels of genuine loneliness.
 "I just can't afford to come back to work for you" Lubin gave his excuse, when the President first invited him to return. My daughter is growing up and my expenses increasing. just can't live on government salary"
 The President countered by saying that perhaps he could find means of meeting Lubns financial quirements This had Lubin stumped, and he hes itated Actually he had other for not wanting to come back, but he didn't want to hurt Truman's feelings by saying so. Finally, he blurted:
 'well, MT. President, there's something I sort of miss around here"
 'You mean" suggested the President "that you miss Roosevelt?"
 'Yes," replied Lubir1
 "WeI I miss him too," said Truman From the tone of his voice you could tell that he very much 
 Most people have forgotten it. but the late Pres ident Roosevelt got into quite controversy in 1889 the relative merits of Argentine and American beef Many people at that time said he was casting reflection on the honor of the American and claimed he had committed such political blunder that he couldn't expect to be reelected
 At that time the idea of importing Argentine meat pure political dynamite, much more so than today when the public is clamoring for meat At that time there was ample meat in the US.A, but despite that fact, Roosevelt ordered the U. s. Navy to purchase dribet of 21 tons of Argen- tine canned beef.
 Immediately there hue and cry from West ern cattlemen. They went far to introduce an amendment to the Naval Appropriations Bill whereby the Navy would be required to buy only American meat
 Roosevelt, however stood his ground, even stated publicly that Argentine canned beef was better than American canned beef.
 Under Agricultural Department ruling, Argen- tine fresh frozen beef cannot be imported into the United States because of oof-and-mouth disease However, canned beef can be imported. So also can meat-largely mutton-from Patagonia, southernmost end of Argentina, which is disease-free.

Luxury Item

 The enthusiastically proRussian Mr. Robeson said No

 Some Soviet economists have said substantially the thing. It all confirms growing suspicion that Communism is not economic panacea practical path to prosperity. It is luxury which requires solid base of high production high high living standards and plenty of capital on which to experiment.
 So far the world knows, this can be achieved only through form of capitalism. At least it's never been achieved any other way Nor does the world know that Communism could maintain that solid base it inherited it. At least it hasn't shown indications of being able to-

Which Way?

The United States is "crying out loud" for terias and the only from Uncle Sam predictions that the things and articles can't locate will be on the markets before Spring.
 new house will be easier to build in late 1947 than at the present time because materials and wormen will be cheaper The boys predict that along about the time the landlords of the country will be top again and raise rents.
 City building lots and old houses have perhaps reached peak prices and want old house you'll be able to buy it much cheaper in year than now
 Land has had boom, including farm land That hap pened during the first World War and then the crash that brought farm land down to the old price levels It will happen again.
 All wshful thinkers loudly proclaim their dislike for strikes but nearly all ndustrass hold to the belief that costs prices and wages must be the same level.

civilian government The truth is that the generals want no patr of civilian government, and they wish theh State Department would take them off the hook in Germany and Austria the sooner the better Gen. eral Eisenhower favored turning military govern ment to civilians last June l. But the State De- parment had other postwar worries Secretary Byrnes declined to assume responsibility for the defeated enemy nations, except a guardian giving advice at the top, policy-making levels.
 This is the general background in which the Kill State and War Department officials aren't any too happy about having the committee messing around in these affairs But the investigation goes on with White House blessing, there isn't anything they can do about it.
 Nearly every correspondent in Germany and cer- tainly every paneload of editors which the War De- partment has taken to Germany to for itSeh has come back loud in it's praises for General Joseph T. McNarney and his deputy in charge of military gov ernment Lieut.-Gen Lucius D. Clay. They have had tough time dealing with the Russians, the British and the French. The Germans have probably been far less troublesome than the beloved Allies.
 There are number of important problems com- Ing up in Germany. U. S. and British bones being consolidated State War Treasury Commerce. REC team has gone to the two zones to try to get exports moving and put the German economy on more self-sustaining basis. The whole reparations has to be readjusted Handling of displaced persons must be resolved. After the Paris peace conference ends a start must be made drafting treaties for Germany and Austria. On the table is Secretary Byrnes' proposal for 40-year German disarmament treaty.
 If by lot of wild swinging for the sole sake of making some headlines political hay at home, the Kilgore Committee balls up any of these delicate negotiations it can perform monumental dis-service.

Now I realize I failed to em- phasize sufficiently the value of phy- sical exercise as an aid to sound sleep in the pink 'un How to Sleep Well"-copy available on written request Clipping will not suffice) if you inclose stamped self addressed envelope. A remark by Theodora c. Stanwell Fletcher in her book 'Drift-wood Valley" (Little, Brown) brought it home to me. Describing the job of getting fire wood enough to carry her husband and herself through 30 to 40 below zero weather of their first winter in the wilderness of British Colum- bia, this fine writer, who holds a mystery story addict away from his dope, says:
 Tt takes time and maneuver-
 ing to get the log to balance

 painfully set the log down, end

 keep on until reach the cabin,
 because cannot reload myself
 At first I thought this logging
 job would be the end of me.
 When I follow, sweating and
 panting, in Us tracks, balan-
 cling on my shoulder a log half

 lungs almost burst and my ribs
 and shoulders feel as though

 these in turn must be split be-.

 But despite all the daily
 hardships which sometimes

 dies can endure, we are deeply
 content. I can't think of any,
 one in the world with whom I'd
 change places. This must be

 Read that last sentence again if you are nervous" "high strung," "jumpy," restless, tense and unable to get enough sleep.
 Not that any such strenuous work as Mrs. Stanwell- describes is necessary, even for a man, but one or another kind of honest work is indispensable to give that sense of satisfaction and completely re- faxed, quiet nerves"
 A good many women who for merly sat in their false dignity and had paid help do all their work for them, have discovered in recent years that they are much healthier and happier when they do their own houseWork, every bit of it.

During the war the British bought up most of the Argentine meat supply on lend-lease agreement with the UaSA, whereby part of the Argentine meat was used for the American Army abroad. However, there is no reason why the British could not be in duced to divide some of this meat now especially in view of the fact that it was purchased with American money.
 The big boys operate so smoothly in Washington that the public seldom knows what's going on until it is called on to foot the bL One operation that ought to be watched is the tug g-of-war by the big steel companies to take the Governments new modern steel plant in South Chicago now operated by Tom Girdler's Republic Steel.
 Built by Uncle Sam for war purposes, the South Chicago mill cost the taxpayer around $9OOO0OOO It is of the most streamlined in the country. The question is: Who will get this industrial wind fall?
 After the last war Government factories sold for song to the private companies which oper ated them and some years later, the Army and Navy found themselves needing increased armaments with few munitions plants at their disposal At one time in May and June of 1940 after France fel some of the big ndustralists deliberately stalled on arm aments until the Treasury promised them tax bonanza on the depreciation of new war plants.
 AS result some Army Navy men hope that all of Uncle Sam's plants will not again be turned over to- private industry for song However, Gen. Robert M. Littejohn, the War Assets Administrator has different ideas. He wants to get surplus war property off his hands quickly as poSsble-a pol icy which frequently plays into the hands of big business.
 Dovetaling with this policy, Republic Steel has offered to buy the Governments South Chicago steel plant S3O 0OO about bird its original cost Payments would be made over 20 years at $1,500O00 year. No interest would be paid to the Government
 Only bidder against Republic Steel so far is Henry Kaiser. Shut out of the steel market, Kaiser has decided the only way he can get steel for his automobiles is make it himself. He has offered to rent the Governments South Chicago plant at $2000 900 year for the first three years.
 Kaiser contends that the Government would be able to take the plant back in of increased 1n ternatona tension, and that in the interim, it will get more money from him than from Republic.
 Most interesting thing to watch in this deal will be the influence of George Allen, REC director and one of the closest men to President Truman. Allen director of Republic Steel, and is also considered the messenger boy for Victor Emmanuel, who has an interest in Republic Steel. Thus company officials have pipeline into the White House day or night
 On the other hand trust-busting Attorney Gen. eral Tom Clark is charged with discouragng monop- oly in the sale of plants So it will be interesting to see whether George Aliens friend, Tom Gfrdler, the Attorney General wins out
