him to bed again.

as nation these United States have produced many outstanding statesmen, men such Washington lIln- coln Clay Jefferson Patrick Henry and many others It was men such as these, who shaped the beginning of our country who gave such deathless documents as the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States and the Bin of Rights To these men we owe our existence the greatest strongest and wealthiest nation on earth. We to them our position of leader of the world in all things and champions of the weak underprivleged and oppressed
 In our generation we have had such a statesman as these in the person of Franklin Roosevelt. It was he who with the help of Winston Churchill and Josef Staln set forth the Atlantic Charter and the plans for the United Nations the blueprnts for world peace These two documents deserve equal place with the Magma Carta and own documents as the plans and guarantees of human lives and liberties.
 Today we are straying far away from the spirit as well as the of the word cooperation and peace We so earnestly desire. The reason2 We do not have the leadership which we had. When the conventions meet this year it is hoped that they leave no stone untmned in the search for great leader Let it not make any difference if he be Republican Democrat or Liberal as long as he has the ability to guide us safely to the shores of peace
 Now is no time for petty political differences to enter into the picture. There important issues at stake.

DARK-HORSE HALLECK

One dark horse you don't hear much about, but who is champing at the bit waiting for Philadelphia is ikeable, go-getting Congress man Charlie Halleck of Indiana. The ambitious House majority leader has been holding secert con- ference and lining up political SUD- port almost alongside his friend, dark-horse Speaker Martin, though Joe doesn't know too much about it.
 The place where Halleck holds his political conclaveS is a private cocktail room in a corner of the Capitol. Officially this hideaway IS listed as "storeroom. Privately it is called the clinic"
 One frequent and significant vis- ltor at the clinic" has been Joe Pew of the Sun oil Company, the Sun Shipbuilding Company. owner ol various farm publications and a power in Pennsylvania politics. Other visitors to Hallecks clinic are lob eyists for the National Association of Manufacturers who drop in for a drink and some private advice

ANOTHER CAREER MAN

To succeed Clinton P Anderson as Secretary oi Ae1iculture the President has chosen a long-term emnovee of the Department of Agriculture Charles P Brannap A Denver lawyer, MT Grammar has been with the department for 13 years, beginning as a reoional attorney in his home city and moving up inc civil service ladder to Assistant Secretary in 1914
 A few months ago MT. Truman flec another caol- net post by advancing career employee to the top in the Post Office Department The practice of nov ing career men to the highest appontive posts in the Federal service is not new but it seems to be gaining some ground in the Truman administration.
 Such appointments usually insure cabinet officers or Ambassadors in that branch of the civil service who know the detail of their work, who are thor oughly familiar with public administration and who know their way around Washington. Appointments of career personnel have another advantage They encourage men and women in various grades Of the civil service to stay on even when promotion is slow and salaries lag behind prices. When it IS snowf. occasionally that people can go all the way to the top the morale of the ranks below is strengthened
 cabinet top-heavy with career men would be unfortunate however. For it is considerably more than group of administrators It is or ought to be- a balanced group of outstanding citizens, not only well informed in their special fields, but capable of discussing the largest policy problems of the country cabinet normally ought to include men from business agriculture banking the law and other fields and from .arious parts of the country

as to how their dark horse should vote on important issues.
 Two years ago Charlie Halleck was a relatively obscure Congress man of moderate means who lived quite modestly. But since he became majority leader Ia months ago, Charlie drives the nose expensive Cadillac on Capitol Hill-a super, sleek convertible which attracts sightseers outside the House of Rep resentatives. Mrs. Halleck also drives a de luxe Cadillac-quite a motor pool for a ,000-a-year Congressman with small family. CThe Cadillacs are not supplied by the Government)

tions, here is the reason why. At torney General Tom Clark has been quietly probing the activities Of two Senators-Owen Brewster, Re- publican from Maine. and Elmer Thomas Oklahoma Democrat.
 When Senator Ferguson, Michi- gan Republican, with a great rec ord for uncovering graft in Detroit, ducked the job of Investigating his own colleagues, Tom Clark got busy
 Brewster has heen shown up as the bosom pal of Pan American Alrways, has lobbied brazenly for them, has accepted free Pan Amer ican airplane rides all over the map Senators are forbidden by law to accept free railroad rides), yet Senator Ferguson refused to probe his fellow Republican.
 Thomas of Oklahoma has also been manipulating commodity mar ket prices. finally admitted he hac been speculating-aft lying about it for two years-and keeps himselt surrounded by queer assortment of lobbyists, racketeers, and an ex- convict. However, the great inves' tigator from Michigan. Senator Ferguson, has not dared to delvt into the operation of his col league from Oklahoma.
 Attorney General Clark. on thC other hand. hired a young New York lawyer. Irving Kaufman who despite acute attacks of long. weekenditis, has laboriously man. aged to unravel part of the mani fold operations of Senator Thomas and has taken polite peek at tht lobbying of Senator Brewster.

 Whether these gentlemen violat- ed any law remains to be seen Certainly, by using speeches and resolutions of United States Sen atcr to influence the commodity market, they violated lot of busi- ness ethics, and a report on their operations not only should be air cd, but should be sent to the Chicago Board of Trade and the Securities and Exchange Commis- sion for proper action.

his feet. And his voting record shows that he either thinks eye to-eye or has gone down the line 100 percent for the Manufacturers Association friends who drop in at his clinic.
 Note-One of the boys quietly backing Halleck for President is Jim Kemper, national COP treas urer, a leading Midwest isolation ist and head of a chain of big insurance companies. Other Halleck supporters are Jacob France, na- tional committeeman from Mary land, and Tom Coleman, prominent Wisconsin Republican.
 EXIT U. s. AMBASSADOR
 The American Ambassador to Egypt, s. Pinkney Tuck, has sud- denly resigned to go to work for the British, and the White House isn't at all happy about it.
 Ambassador Tuck, career diplo- mat, is the son of the famed in- { ternational jurist who served on l the commission to adjudicate the Alabama claims against England arising out of the sale of Brit ish ship to the South during the Civil War.
 But now Tuck has switched from the U. s. diplomatic service to the employ of the Suez Canal Corpor- ation, a government organ ization, at a salary of $50000 gold What makes the White House un- happy is that Tuck is familiar with all American diplomatic sec- rets pertaining to the Middle East.
