The w aShinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON . James Clement Dunn, U. S.. Ambassador to Italy always has been considered one of the safest" men in the State De- partment.
 He fought hard to send munitions against Loyalist Spain, did his best to support Franco, used his influ- ence against admission of refugees when Hitler began to tear up Eur ope.
 He also married one of the veal thy Armour daughters, and Mrs Dunn has been considered equally safe. Never has anyone suspected either of them of a Red thought or being even remotely iriendy to
 Some weeks ago, however, the Un-American Affairs Committee of Congress sent the State Depart ment a list of employees whom they considered unsafe and subversive The list included quite few State Department wives who had joined organizations listed as either Com munist or Communist front.
 After the list of alleged subver- sives had been with State Depart ment officials for some time, mem- bers of the Un-American Affairs Committee began to get restless Nothing had happened. So one oi the Congressmen called Assistant Secretary ot State John Peurifoy

Senator Magnuson Keeps
 Up Fight Against Higher
 Shipping Rafes 10 Alaska

WASHINGTON, May 27---tR- Senator Magnuson D-Wash) told Senate appropriations subcom- mittee that increased steamship rates to Alaska require that the Alaskan services affected by the Interior Department appropria- tion bill be given more money than allowed by the House.
 An increase of about 43 percent became effective last week.
 Those rates said Magnuson, were already the highest of any maritime carriers. This latest in crease was granted by the Maritime Commission without a hearing. You will recall that two months ago, the Congress, conscious of the importance of maintaining maritime transportation with AL aska, approved a plan by which the Maritime Commission would provide the private operators with vessels at nominal rates and like wise carry the costs of Marine insurance and depreciation.
 Nevertheless, despite this sub- stantial indirect subsidy the op- orators felt a considerable increase in rates was necessary and took the position that they would not operate without it. So in order to get the resumption of private operation started, the Maritime Commission allowed the full in- crease requested.
 T am hopeful that early hear ings-which have joined in re- questing demonstrate that the rates granted are too high and can Ee reduced to previous levels"

Greek Women

Bx HELEN MAMAs

ATHENS-A gray-haired Ameri-
can woman who has devoted 20
years of her life to teaching home
making wants to take Greek EeaS-
ant women out of the fields with
a raised standard of living.
DR.. Enda N. White, former di-
rector of the Merrill-Palmer school
in Detroit, is home demonstration
specialist of the agricultural dlvl-
sion of the American Mission for
Aid TO Greece.
For the past month she has been
surveying every social problem re-
lated to child care, nutrition, and
village life to uncover all COM
munity forces that touch the homes
and children of the Greek people"
Onetime director of home econo-
mic, extension and vocational work
at Ohio State University, DR.. White
hopes to set up a homemaking
course to train leaders who will go
into villages to teach simple home
economics and family life to Greek
women. The leaders will be recruit
ed from among the estimated 25
college girls studying agriculture
at the University of Athens and Sa-
lonika. She says:
Home economics is in its infancy
in Greece. / have a pioneering job.
l want leaders to work through viii
lage rural centers with community
women to build community life.
''The problem here is different
than in other countries. Women use
lot of energy in the fields. They
have no time for their children and
even less for their homes. We CAM
change this, but we can help men
do better job at farming. If the
income of the farmer can be increa.
sed by better farming techniques
maybe then women wouldn't be re-
quired to give so much time to thu
fields. Their primary job of caring
for their children and homes cal
then be accomplished with NOR,
success"
DIR. White indicates she believes
the standard of living of a countr.
depends on the. position of the wo
