Success and Failure
Washington Post)

Washington Post
 One week last autumn an article appeared in one of the big slickpaper magazines under the signature of Mir Leo Durocher then under sentence of banish- ment from organized baseball It was spirited de- fense of MT Durochers ethics the playing field and
 in the clubhouse and it's general tenor pretty well indicated in the title Nice Guys Finish Last Tn other words, being gentleman doesn't get you anything except opportunity to show off graceful loser and that only briefly, because the people whose dol lars support great character of base ball have probably patience with losers graceful awkward And when the turstiles at the ball park rotate with their wanted velocity your contract will be taken up.
 MT Durochers thesis appears to have been beau tifuly vndicated in the of Mir Melvin Ott, a member of the New York Giants for 9 years and manager of the club for the last half dozen of them Now MT Ott has the reputation inside and outside the baseball world of nice guy indeed civil to umpires chyalrous to opponents, sympathetic to his colleagues and apparently conscious of the duty of setting good example to the young Americans who bought the breakfast foods felders mitts, chewing gum razor blades what not sold with his endorse ment It is doubtful, of course, that MT Ott will be asked to anything again except the salary checks still due under his contract, which will not expire until two years hence. For Mr. Ott has been dismissed as manager of the Giants and his place given appropriately enough, to MT Durocher.
 The transfer from Brooklyn to Manhattan is, of course, highly advantageous to MT Durocher, and again that opportunities cOIle Uo WHO is able to make them. The Giants are said to have quite as much money the Dodgers, which MT Duro- cher may be able to persuade them to spend for new of ballplayers Moreover, Harlem is consider ably closer to Broadway by either taxcab or subway than Flatbush In his surroundings MT. Durocher will presumably be free of the unnatural and indeed
 ntolerable restraints placed upon him by the narrow and provincial prejuces which unhapply still pre- vail on the farther bank of the river The bitter and even spteful criticism of MT Durocher voiced in cer- tain circles had nothing to do with the business of winning pennants They were wholly concerned with his extra professional life in Hollywood, Nevada Mexico and elsewhere, in which would think MT Durocher entitled to much privacy as the rest of
 It seems to that the triumph of MT. Duorcher over his critics illustrates the truth that bas- ball is the great, wonderful game it is, and such wholesome influence youth, because it so ac- curaely eptomizes the spirit that has made this coun- try strong and great In baseball as in politics and business and life generally the thing is to win and the hell with how you do it. In philosophy this spirit is called pragmatsm and in biology natural selection but just plain Amercanism is a good enough word for us.

DON'T MAKE US RUBBER STAMPS

Massachusetts Henry Cabot Lodge criticized Taft's Policy Com mittee for releasing a statement to the press before consulting with the rest of the Senators. Firecrack- er-tongued Charles Tobey of New Hampshire agreed. He said it made the caucus look like a rubber stamp. ~'
 Usually brusque Gene Millikin of Colorado tried to smooth over the discord, suggested that the re- lease was given as the view of the Committee-not of the full caucus. Acting majority leader Ken Wherry chimed in with the ex- planation that several newsmen had been on their necks and it was impossible to dodge them. Lodge came back with the sug- gestion that the special session be restricted to action in infla- ton, housing, civil rights, the in- ternational wheat agreement and
 the LIN loan. Taft reminded him that it was up to the committees
 to decide what Congress should consider.
 New York's Irving Ives urged 1 that all the Presidents recommen- ! dations be processed through the
 committees before the Republicans
 made a decision on what should be done Judicious Forrest Donnen of Missouri agreed that in view of | the Presidents Constitutional pow
 CTS, the only flair and Constitu- tionar thing to do was to turn
 his recommendations over to the
 committees. President of the Senate Arthur
 Vandenberg limited his say to a couple minutes, but stressed the
 importance of going through the committee procedure.

PRECEDENT IS SET

A precedent, certainly rare was set last Saturday in New York City when President Truman and Gov Thomas E. Dewey met the same platform and made short talks It the first time in modern American history according to reliable records that opposing presidential candidates of the two major political parties appeared together at public function and spoke from the platform
 President Truman and Gov. Dewey appeared at the dedication of New Yorks International Air port They united in calling the gigantic airport a symbol of Americas faith in lasting peace The air. port itself is 5,000-acre landing field.
 Asserting the airport is both the symbol of our faith that we shall have peace and contribution toward lasting peace" the President called the display of military planes convincing evidence of our de- termination to remain strong in the cause of peace
 The Republican presidential nominee described the airport as symbol of peace and "a powerful mple- ment for peace"
 During the dedication scores of military planes scared the airport many making landings

DIVIDE DEMOCRATS
 AND RULE

Belligerent Harry Cain of Wash- ington State urged bringing up the sales-tax bill for Washington, D. C., predicting it would start Sena- tor Olin Johnston of South Caro- lima on another filibuster.
 Both Taft and Wherry opposed this. But Taft was anxious to bring up the anti-poll tax bill. in order to start a filibuster and expose the division inside the Democratic Party. Taft also sug- gested this would demonstrate the need for a rule to break filibust- CTS.

 Kefauver, who looks and acts like Cordell Hull in his younger days, is stalking his fortnight rec ord in Congress against Boss Crump's machine in three-corn- cred showdown fight over Tom Stewards Senate seat.
 Both Crump and Stewart, ob- viously worried, have gone to the extreme length of trying to turn racial prejudice against Kefauver by calling him a foreigner. Crump has been buying full-page news paper ads, smearing Kefauver as a foreigner and therefore un-Amer- ican.
 At the same time J. J. Walker of McMinnville, Tenn, prominent lumberman, has been acting as Stewards mouthpiece in spreading the same charge.
 Not. Actually, Kefauver was born in Monroe County, Tenn, near Madisonville.

INSIDE THE uOP CAUCUS

Gauging their own lond-winded- ness, Republicans Senators schedul- ed the Senate to start an hour late the other day. They wanted to decide what they should do about Harry Truman's challenge of a special sessicn. They were right in their estimate-their verbal free-for-all lasted all morning
 Only the sound of untitled voices leaked through the ponderous doors. but here is a play-by- play account of what happened inside the COP meeting.
 Speaking for the high command, Senator Bob Taft made 1t clear that the decision to keep Con- gress in special session long enough to pass on emergency mea- guresv had been dictated by their new Republican leader, Tom Dewey. Taft said he had been in constant touch with Dewey, both by tele- phone and through his Washington based campaign manager, Herb Brownell.
 Taft quoted Dewey as saying 1t would be a grave mistake" to adjourn immediately. Then Taft added his own opinion that Con- gress should remain in session ahout two more weeks.
 This brought sharp disagreement from Wyoming's Ed Robertson, Indiana's Bill Jenner and Ne yada's George Malone. Robertson called for immediate, adjournment, suggested they reconvene after November. (He faces the fight Of his life from Wyoming's Governor Hunt) Taft replied that the idea of a special Republican session of Concress. called by the Republicans.
