Prediction Winter.
Food conservers think the White
House had taken useful step for
ward in its veto of state dinners
They are now eyeing wistfully the
laden plates at the endless lunch
cons and dinners here which guar
antee any really agile politico or
correspondent freedom from hun

wastage probably occurs there than
in average kitchens these days.
Some quarters dismiss the new
dispensation as just one more thing
in the long prediction winter that
lies ahead. Washington has tasted
similar periods before-'30 to 80 for
example-when the two ends of

tious in mood, played you're an

right mind, but miracles have hap
pened. So, just to be on the safe
side, have started writing my
memoirs as q cabinet member
which I will publish Immediately
after I have retired to private life
I am not going to let any Of my
fellow cabinet members beat me tc
the presses with a book. I want tc
be the first to wash the dirty linen
That's when being public servant
really pays of.
Here's a Rough Idea.
My book is tentatively titled, "You
Made Me What I Am Today-Don't
Think I'm Satisfied" Here is a rough
draft Of one Of the chapters:
II hadn't seen the Boss q always
called him Boss except when ]
called him Chief, Superchief OF
Twentieth Century Limited) for a
week. was very anxious to see him
and was delighted when he called
late in the afternoon and told me
to hurry over to you know what
color house, that it was important.
His voice seemed strained so, with
out waiting to jot down in my diary
the things about the administra-
ton that ! hadn't liked that day,
I jumped in the biggest car fur
nished me by the taxpayers and
told the chauffeur, cousin of mine,
to step on it.
II found the Boss seated behind
his desk. This surprised me, because
he usually sat in front OF his desk,
facing the big windows, so he could
look out on the White House grounds
Lest you are curious why the Boss
liked to look out of the windows,
let me tell you something about him
little-known facet of his character
which will endear him to you and
show him as the warm human being
that he really was.
He had two hobbies. One of
them was trapping quail out of sea-
son on the White House lawn, and
he couldn't bear to take his eyes of
the traps, so interested was he in
what his catch would be that day.
Rumors that the Boss once was seen
Ipeddling quail to luxury restaurants
are without foundation. He ate
every blessed one of them himself.
Hard to Keep Secret.
"His other hobby was dynamiting
fish in the Potomac. This hobby
was very difficult to keep secret, and
it is to the everlasting credit of
the Secret Servicemen only those
people whose homes and boats were
rocked by the frequent blasts ever
knew about it.
"As I said, the Boss was seated
back Of his desk when walked in
lds Office, wahooed like an Indian,
and said: Well, Chief
Well, HI he said, not single
bird in a trap and not single
stick of dynamite left in the house.
1T was the first time I had heard
him swear In week. But with him
1t didn't sound like swearing, some
how-it sounded like downright pro-
family.
THE talk turned from quail trap
ping to international policy.
That soon bored us stiff, SO we
started gossiping about the other
members OF the cabinet 1t hurt

This Changing World
Weather Vanes on Marshall Plan Seen
In French and Italian Election Trends

ticipate a showdown between the
non-C Communists and Palmiro Togli-
atti, the Communist leader, some
time before the end of the year
The showdown will be preceded by
the usual wave of strikes and the
Moscow henchmen is expected to
use his partisan force in Northern
Italy against the regular govern
ment forces. Moscow is little con-
cerned with Rome and Southern
Italy. Its eyes are on the richest
section of Italy, the area between
the River Pc and the Alps, where
the Communist Party is strongest
and most militant.
Next Sunday the French people
will 60 to the polls to decide on
their local government In the 81
departments. New mayors. council
men and other regional officials will
be elected. A number Of strikes
are preceding the voting, and all
without exception, are of political
character.
Communists Active.
The Communists are more active
now than during the general elec-
tions for the National Assembly
For weeks there have been meetings
at which the top leaders of the Com
munist Party have spoken at length
These meetings were generally fol-
lowed by long banquets, where wines
were distributed without regard for
overnment-imposed rations.
The Communist commissariat
which has ample funds at It's dis
posal, is always able to supply its
followers with unobtainable rationed
goods. In some sections of Northern
France the distribution has been SC
generous that many workmen are
selling their surplus on the black
market to those less favored.
The Communist campaign is now
in full swing. Whether called by
the Confederation Generate de Ira
vail (CGT. the principal and most
powerful labor union in France, OF
unauthorized, the strikes are all in
tended simply to create confusion
hamper the already faulty distribu-
ton. and transportation system of
the country and aid the Commu-
mist Party at the coming election.
The governments main talking
point is the Marshall plan. The
opponents of communism warn the
French people that America is
watching the political trends ano
that Congress approval of the Mar
shall plan depends, to a large extent
on defeat of the Communist candi-

reveal coming events in Europe, re-
gardless of the Marshall plan.
The Rome city elections are con-
sidered particularly significant be-
cause the Communists did come
out on top, although by slim
majority. In some Italian quarters
this narrow Communist victory Is
hailed as an indication of the grow
ing strength of Premier Alcide de
Gasperi's Christian Socialist Party
and of the other non-Communist
organizations affiliated with them.
Many RoyaIsts in Rome.
Rome, however, is city with a
large anti-Communist population.
Many Roman citizens are still strong
ly monarchist and consider the
Communists the principal cause of
the defeat of the monarchy in the
plebiscite These monarchial sympa-
thizers look to the right-wing
Socialists as the next best thing to
royalist party.
Rome is also a Socialist strong
hold. There is q small industrial
population and many white-collar
workers, shopkeepers and other such
persons who know that Commu-
mist victory will place them in a
worse predicament than they are
today. The Vatican's political in
fiuence also is far greater in Rome
than in Northern Italy, where the
Communists have their greatest
strength.
In spite Of all this, the Com
munists succeeded in getting \
plurality in the Rome election.

them always does. He had said
Nov, Mr.. President, can't you all
smile q little?" Either because they
thought 1t was a good idea or be-
cause they were amused by the pho
tographer's temerity or perhaps
merely to break the strain of waiting
for the Hash bulbs flash, all six had
promptly relaxed their facial mus
cles into smiles. And click went the
cameras. with the result noted above
The situation in Europe may be
tragic. but, If you can believe the
cameras, it merely hands us a laugh
OF course, there is something tc
be said in the photographers de-
fense. They have a job to do. They
are expected to bring In interesting
pictures, not solemn studio portraits
And there is limit to the liberties
they can take with the big shots
who pose for them.
On the occasion described, fol
instance, they couldn't very well
say, Gee whiz, Mr.. President, don't
you fellows realize the suffering
that's going on in Europe: can't you
look like 1t makes you feel bad?"
Victims Always Smile.
That might have developed some
wonderful expressions and produced
a very satisfying picture. But the
subjects would have resented such
instructions. They might have re-
fused to have any pictures taken
But the man with his finger on
the trigger can always say, "Smile
please" It's an accepted part OF the
process. And the victims always
smile. Frequently to their later
regret.
As for the food saving campaign,
it Is little early to predict whether
the Presidents committee will even
tually be able to smile in the salts
faction of a difficult task success
fully performed. Chairman Luck
man appears to be getting results
in a number Of directions. Persuad-
ing the distillers' to drop out Of the
market for grain and turn their
stocks over to the Government for
export is the biggest achievement
thus far. Cooperation by the ma
tional organization of restaurant
men Is heartening. Other Republi-
can members of Congress, most of
them, seem disposed to put the re-
calcitrant chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee, Mr.. Ia
Der, in his place. Candidate Stassen
has undertaken to set Candidate
Dewey straight. And the people, by
and large, have stopped making faces
while preparing to take their Gov-
ernment-prescribed diet.

taken for the papers. So the picture
appears alongside the stories Of
near ar-starvation and distress that
caused the group to be given its
important and difncult task. And
what does 1t reveal? Six serious
gentlemen, terribly aware of the
acuteness Of the crisis facing this
country and the world? Not at all
1t presents for your startled inspec-
ton six of the merriest men you
ever saw.
The President himself is seated al
his desk, wearing a modest grin
Secretary Of Commerce Hartman
and Charles Luckman, seated on
either side of him, are smiling with
complete abandon, after the manner
of hired hands when the boss has
told a reasonably. funny story
Standing behind these three are
Undersecretary of State Lovett. I'm
dersecretary of Agriculture Dodd
and Presidential Assistant Steelman
Only Mr.. Dodd seems able to con-
tain his mirth, and even he looks
far from sad.
Nothing Amusing.
Now It is hardly possible that the
President really had told a funny
story. Not at time like that Nor
is 1t conceivable that any OF the six
find anything amusing in their new
undertaking. There is nothing en-
tertaining in the tales from abroad.
Not even the prospect of our own
population going on short rations
could cause an outbreak of hilarity.
It could only have been the pho
tographers.

as a social leader here, Oklahoma
born Mrs. Perle Mesta, is an init
mate friend Of the Trumans. In
fact it was their friendship that
really launched her.
Mrs. Mesta, who has again leased
the Herbert Hoover house on s
street, was in town when the White
House announcement came. She
was not forewarned and had been
making plans for another festive
season beginning with a party Tor the
feminine press. She said instantly
that she would follow the Truman
pattern of course.
Calm Return to S Street.
At least Mrs. Mesta, who knows
how to handle the Oklahoma oil
and Pittsburgh steel millions hel
father and husband left her, car
now laugh last at the real estate
operators. She said frankly shs
wanted larger residence than Mr.
Hoover's where she could entertain
more effectively. When she came te
negotiate accordingly, she foune
suitable places had increased II
value to a degree amazing even fol
Washington. Hence her calm return
to 8 street.
incidentally, Mrs. Mesta and Mrs
