The Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON- One Congress man who has sadly ignored the old adage that those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones is bouncing Rep. J. Parnell Thomas of New Jersey, chairman of the Un-American Activities Committee.
 If some of his own personal op- erations were scrutinized on the witness stand as carefully as he cross-examines witnesses, they would make headlines of a kind the Congressman doesn't like.
 It is not, for instance, considered good "Americanism" to hire a sten- ographer and have her pay a 'kickback." This kind of operation is also likely to get an ordinary American in income-tax trouble. However, this hasn't seemed to worry the chairman of the Un- American Activities Committee.
 On Jan. l, 1940, Rep. Thomas placed on his payroll Myra Mid- kiff as clerk at $l,20O a year with the arrangement that she would then kick back all of her salary to the Congressman. This gave MT. Thomas a neat addition to his own $lO,000 salary. and pre- 'sumably he did not have to worry about paying income taxes in this higher bracket, because he paid Miss Midkifi's taxes for her in the much lower bracket.
 The arrangement was quite sim pie and lasted for four years. Miss Midkiff's salary was merely de- posted in the First National Bank of Allendale. N. J., to the Con- gressman's account. Meanwhile. she never came anywhere near his office and did no work for him ex- cept addressing envelopes at home. for which she got paid g per 100.
 THOMAS AND INCOME TAXES
 The Congressman was very care- full about paying Miss Midkiffs income tax except that on March IA, 1914, he wrote the Collector of Internal Revenue asking for de- lay in payment for my clerk" Myra Midkiff for the syear 1943.
 Circumstances have arisen" Thomas wrote, which make it necessary for Miss Midkiff to re- quest deferment in the payment

sTAR OF PETHLE EREM
 SHINES;; SOME SHINE

BETHLEHEM, Pa, Dec. 4.-R- The Star of Bethlehem shines down again on this Christmas City of the U. s. A."
 The 90-foot star was turned on last night. From it's position high above South mountain it is visible for 25 miles.
 And with the star, the lights went on again in Bethlehem, a city of 60000.
 And what lights
 There were seven miles of illumi- nation throughout the main busi- ness and residential sections. There were more than 10000 lights in the di-play.
 A giant 60-foot Christmas tree, made up of many smaller trees and 1900 lights shown brilliantly on the Plaza of the Hill-to-Hill bridge, con- meeting North and South Bethlehem.
 The star is symbolic of the one that guided the wise men to Christ's manager in another town named Bethlehem 1948 years ago.

Premier of Prime Minister
(Christian science Monitor


 man has stepped down in Canada, but tradition carries on.
 When William Lyon Mackenzie King resigned, he left more than a record of the longest tenure of prime mnistershp in the history of the British Commonwealth
 The tradition is twofold. At home French and Englsh-speaking interests stand fused today in Canada where two have tested the stability of the integration
 In foreign affairs-with MT. King as his own Foreign Minster-Canada has become independent nation, with it's diplomatic corps, it's national aspirations, and with a strong shoulder behind the current effort toward western unity.
 MT King was Prime Minister three times: 1921- 25 1926-30. and from 1885 to the present.
 Chief among the factors in this teni9e historians will likely say, was IFr. Kings understanding of the social currents of his times they affected Canada and the world Through compromise Of conflicting interests, consistently of the dominant social tide he weathered political storms that might have foundered less patient leaders
 Under his leadership. Canada expressed an i'm. portant voice in world democratic councils coopera- ten sprinEng naturally from the fact that the Domn- ion the fourth-ranzng Allied belligerent during World War IT.
 MT, King never forget that law of Canadian politics formulated by Sir Charles Bagot, an early Governor General: "You cannot govern Canada with out the French" This lesson Mir. King learned from his own mentor Sir Wilfred Laurier, the first French Canadian to be Prime Minister of Canada.
 The second French Canadian so to govern is MT. Kings handpicked bilingual successor Louis Stephen St. Laurent successful corporation lawyer Mir St. Laurent joined MT. Kings cabinet in 1941 where he served Minister of Justice and finally Minister of External Affairs The solid foundation of Mir Kings policies awaits the further building of MT St. Laurent

LABOR DIPLOMAT

President Truman's advisers are seriously considering the appoint ment of a labor leader as Assistant Secretary of State.
 Hitherto. high State Department jobs have usually gone to Wall Streeters, as for instance the pres ent. Unde1secretary of State Robert Lovett, big investment banker, and Assistant Secretary Charles Saltzman, former vice president of the New York Stock Exchange.
 However, most European Govern ments are. now dominated by la bor. In. fact, the moderate labor leaders of Western Europe are con- sidered the best bulwark against Russia, and it is vital that U. s. diplomats understand their point of view.
 That's why labor leader may be among the new State Depart n1ent executives, also why Irving Brown, the International Labor Office representative in Europe, may be appointed U. s. Ambass- ador to a, Western European coun- try. Browns quiet work among European labor leaders has done more to combat Sovietism than 8 whole crew of the old-fashioned U. s. diplomats combined.

MT. Wallace's Tragedy
(New York Times)

Third parties have often played useful part in the past Many times their programs have been taken by the major parties and enacted into law But the abysmal failure of Henry Wallace in the recent election proves and for all time that this country has for third party allied with those whose roots are in foreign soil.
 MT Wallace had opportunity to pull together the honest experimental forces in American society in labor and the farm, and to present their desires to the public MT. Wallace chose instead what seemed easier path He not content with a slow and legitimate growth. He took the support eagerly offered him by the spokesman of foreign power AS the campaign proceeded he became and more outspoken in his defense of policies laid down by an arbitrary government in Moscow and bitter in his denunciation of ideals and purposes evil denty supported by the vast of his counrymen His final utterances election night those of man who saw no merit and no honesty in any group lace lost votes steadily during his strenuous and far reaching campaign. He lost them because of his folly and because of the continual revelations that being made in Paris in Berlin and in Moscow of the true nature of the allies he had accepted
 Now MT. Wallace is fallen from his high estate If third party is again to enlarge in this country two four years from now it will not be led by MT Wallace If he sincerely thought he had cause, he has destroyed this That is his tragedy. He will have to live with it.

While still subject to governmental review on its legality under the Taft Hartley law the agreement the American Federation of Musicians and the record companies offers interesting commentary on James c. Petrillos concept of union membership.
 AS will be recalled, when the unions ban the production of disks went into effect Jan. l., Mir Petrilo proclaimed that never again would bers of his organization make new records He also reiterated his welknown view that canned music" was an evil that only spelled unemployment for in- strumentalsts.
 Now, eleven months later, history repeats itself. Just he did several in the of his first ban records, MT Petrillo has found it expedient to forget his one-man crusade against mechanical progress and to conclude contract with the phono- graph record manufacturers.
 What have been the fruits of MT Petrillos course? The union itself has lost than sOOOOoO for its welfare fund as well as an added source of income for many of it's members over eleventh-monh period The record industry has had to suffer unwarranted and arbitrary hardship at time when it could i'll afford to do The public has been deprived of the latest popular recordings by name" bands.
 To be sure, MT Petrillo had special problems in connection with the operation of his welfare fund.- the TaftHartley law in part being directed specifically of his unions past practices. before the imposition of the ban he made genuine effort to accept himself the legislation offering great display of intransigence in his nsistence the companies should to him on pended knee.
 Now, when the damage has been done it is Mir Petrllo who has taken the initiative in working reasonable solution at the conference table In the future the public the record industry and Petio himself would benefit if he recognized that of the conference table should come before and not after costly and futile ban.

DOCTOR SHORTAGE

Unassuming Oscar Ewing, the Federal Security Administrator has been doing some quiet digging on the all-important problem of get ting more U. s. doctors, dentists and nurses.
 Even today, three years after the end of the war" says Ewing, there are large sections of the country woefully lacking in doc- tors"
 Meanwhile, medical schools are overcrowded and medical faculties are so understaffed that, if new medical schools were started it would be difficult to staff them.
 Ewing is working on plan for Federal loans to medical students as one way to ease the doctor shortage. Local banks would grant tuition-loans to qualified students. with the government guaranteeing the loans 100 per cent.
 He is also hoping that the bill introduced by Senator Thomas of Utah will pass the next Congress, giving Government subsidies to medical schools based on the num- Der of students they turn out.
 Note-Ewing planes the marriage market for the nurse shortage. Good nurses get married about as soon as they get trained. How ever. all is not lost, says Oscar, they make better wives.

 The United Nations approved a new American plan for broad con- oiliation on Jewish and Arab boun- diaries in Palestine. The proposal disregards the plan of Count Folke Bernadotte, the mediator killed by Jews in September. The political committee rejected a proposal that the conciliators follow Bernadotte's recommendation that Arab Pales- the be given to Trans-Jordan.
 Rioting in Syria this week may be a prelude to other outbreaks simmering in Egypt, Iraq and most other Arab countries over the fail ure of their armies to defeat Jew ish troops in Palestine. All the Aran countries seemed restive.
