The W ashington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON--Despite the fact that Jolln L. Lewis is gradually ctagnating the Nation and for one month has not even deigned to give his detailed terms, to the mine op- orators, AFL insiders concede that he can write his own ticket about taking over the Presidency of the Federation.
 However, the miners boss, for once in his life, is playing the shrinking violet and wants to be urged
 He has told close friends recent Iy that he isn't interested in the AFL Presidency and has no inten- tion of becoming candidate at this years convention in Chicago.
 These friends add that Lewis wants to be drafted" for the job, not this year, but in 1947 i
 The strategy may change before the convention, but present plans for Chicago, are to continue Presi- dent Bill Green in office for one more year, with the understanding that simultaneously he will an- iounce his retirement, effective in i947.
 Before his recent return to the AFL, Lewis supporters had plan- ned to railroad his replacement of Green this year However, because this would be too obvious a slap at Green, who has beCn President since December l9, 1924, they are now agreeable to postponing Lewis election for another year. The fact that Lewis has public opinion so overwhelmingly against him in the coal strike may also have some thing to do with it.

industrial Relief Under UNRRA

Industrial Equipment in Amtorg
Trading Corp. from 1910 to 1912
and from 1912 to 1914 he was deputy
chief of Department of the Soviet
Purchasing Commission
Once approved by UNRRA's Divi-
sion of Industrial Rehabilitation, the
electric light bulb plant requisition
went to the State Department, and,
after examination, was approved.
The purchase was made by regular
purchasing agents of the Federal
Government and delivered to the
shipping point. And so, Marshal Tito
will have his portion of an electric
bulb plant from the United States.
Proceeds Go for Relief.
AS in the other countries in which
UNRRA operates, Marshal Tito sells
the produced goods to his people, to
the government, to private firms and
co-operatives The money thus re-
ceived, under the program, is set
aside for further relief purposes in
Yugoslavia. A similar plan is fol-
lowed elsewhere.
George K. Arnold. chief of the in
dustrial equipment section of the Di-
vision of Industrial Rehabilitation,
said that electric generators secured
in the United States have been sent
to Greece and set up in Salonika for
street lighting, industrial use and
other purposes.
George Coutroubis, Greek citi-
zen, now at UNRRA headquarters,
who is an engineer with the Greek
Mission at Athens, explained that
the water capacity of Marathon
Dam, near Athens, has been in
creased so per cent with UNRRA
funds to increase the water supply
of the evercrowded capital. Water
from springs seven and a half miles
distant was piped into the reser-
voir to supplement the supply di-
minished by drought and the raw
ages of war, Mr.. Coutroubis said.

The lengthy testimony of Mr.
Casey of the General Accounting
Office included an analysis of the
types of contracts the Government
made during the war, to which GAO
has taken exception.
Mr. Casey also complained that
in many cases contracts were re-
written in the midst of an opera

that GAO could do because of the
broad authority under which the
contracts we're written during the
war
