District residents may not have
the vote but there are a lot of peo-
pie here enjoying the pleasure-ano
privilege-of politicking. They are
the ones who live here but maintain
legal residence in States which
allows absentees to vote.
In most cases their political par
ticipation is confined to making sure
of their registrations in their home
States and arranging to vote. But
in doing so, many take advantage OF
the opportunity of calling at a polit-
ical headquarters. There they are
greeted by party worker who is
glad to see them, and they engage
in a bit of partisan talk. In the
case of Government workers, how
ever, they make sure to keep a
weather eye open to see they don t
violate the Hatch Act.
Both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties have opened offices
to help those entitled to vote back
home.

Some of the voters enjoy perma-

visions usually being that they must
vote at least every two years or four
years to keep enrolled. In some
States, those who register for the

They also help in applying for the

After it was all over and the prosperous
applegrowers had shaken Papa's hand and
said what a fine sermon it was, they drove
off in their shiny black buggies to their big

took key out of his pocket and opened the

The former Democratic national

his party had suffered in recent
years from poor leadership, both
State and national, and loss OF
essential dignity by many in power.
Mr.. Farley has been on a Pacific

UNFORTUNATELY, many political
leaders, like some of the Nations

do not realize that with power comes
responsibility" said MIR. Farley

they have used it too often fol

resign.

But later. a housing official said
Mr.. Wyatt meant only that he
had not resigned at that time, and
did not consider the question as
covering any future intentions.
Mr.. Wyatt is at odds with the
Reconstruction Finance Corp, the
War Assets Administration and the
Civilian Production Administration
over his powers.
RFC has refused to make loans
MIR. Wyatt requested for prospective
builders of pre-fabricated housing.
WAA has refused to honor an order
from Mr.. Wyatt that it turn sur

fabricated housing. With CPA, there
are differences over allocations of

Mr.. Wyatt's view is that he has
power to require that these agencies
accept his decisions. He wants Mr..
Truman to tell them they must,
since they won't do it now. That
would be the ''reaffirmation" he asks.
With a climax to the row apper-

COP. Calls Rejection

To Hide Something
BY the Associated Pros.

The Democratic party-line
vote rejecting a Senate commit
tee investigation OF American
military governments stirred up
a storm today, with Republicans
contending the administration
must be hiding something
wrong"
The four Republicans on the
Senate War Investigating Commit
tee asserted, too, that the admin
istration must be trying to destroy
public confidence in the commit
tee in fear 1t may be "a valuable
asset to Congress after January g.
when the Republicans will take con-
troll.
In New York, Senator Connally
Democrat. of Texas, q member oil
the committee, told reporters he
considered the proposed investiga-
ton outside the jurisdiction" OF

Complain of Leaks TO Press.
The minority said that vote
forced them to the conclusions:
"First, that the administration is
seeking desperately to conceal
something wrong In the administra-
ton of occupied areas.
Second, that the administration,
with the aid OF Democratic mem
bers of the committee, is now seek
ing to destroy public confidence In
a committee which has enjoyed an
unusually fine reputation because 1t
fears that the committee may be a
valuable asset to the Congress after
January s, l945.
The Republicans complained that
leaks of confidential committee
material have appeared in the press
and that Chairman Kilgore had
made IAN unwarranted attack" on
the committee counsel, George
Meader, in a letter to committee
members. Mr.. Meader conducted q
preliminary on-the-spot investiga-
ton in Germany and made what was
supposed to be a confidential report
to the committee.
Charge Distortion of Testimony.
Distorted versions of the testi-
mony of executive hearings and of
the contents of the confidential re-
port have been published" the Re
publicans said.
Before the committees cancella-
ton of the trip, 1t was generally
known around the Cipitol that both
the War and State Departments had
made vigorous objections to an in
vestigation of the occupied zones
at this time.
Saying the committee has never
rocked the international boat Sem
ator Brewster and his colleagues de-
elared that no Democratic member
of the committee had objected to
the projected investigation OF
claimed it would invade the field
of the Foreign Relations COMMITTEES
before the recent elections In which
the Republican Party won control
of both Houses of Congress.
The Republican outburst appar-
emily strengthened chances that the
investigation may be reinstated
when the COP takes over commit
tee majority in January.
