Parnell Thcmas of New Jersey-as result of Pearson's expose, ex- Congressman Roger Slaughter of Kansas City has been in- dicted for failure to register as a lobbyist.
 It was Pearson who told how Slaughter put the provision Tn the farm bill prohibiting the Government from renting more grain elevator space, which Tn turn prevented the Govern men from giving many farm CTS parity prices on grain. Pearson kept harping on this' and also calling to the atten- tion of the Justice Department Slaughter's failure to register. In the end he was indicated.

Domestic and FOREIGN
Decisions Held Vital
With Election Over
American People Bored
By Kind of Compoien
Wosed by Both Parties
By David Laurence

The American people may have
been bored by the presidential cam
paign, but they are not going to
be bored by what happens after~
ward.
For there must be decisions of
transcendent Importance made i'm
mediately at home and abroad. The
campaign has anesthetized action.
1t has stalled the processes Of gov
eminent. This is because men in
power hesitate to make decisions
that can be attacked on the stump
The same reason undoubtedly in
fiuenced the party out of power-a
hesitancy to make positive state
ments which could be twisted into
opposite meanings in the political
arena.
Notwithstanding these handicaps,
political campaigns are essential to
the workings of democracy-though,
to be sure. they need not be as de-
void Of substance as they have be-
come.
One reason perhaps is the mis-
taken judgment of campaign man.
ayers and candidates who become
so involved in their own ambitions
that they fail to see the need for
considered statements of principles
as opposed to campaign platitudes.
People Saw Hypocrisy.
The kind of campaign that has
just been waged was a bore because
1t bruised the intelligence of the
people, who saw beneath the veneer
Of polished phrases or wisecracks
the hypocrisy of political speeches.
Some day, perhaps, leadership will
emerge that will choose to make
four, or at the most six, addresses
which could be masterpieces of ex-
position of the fundamental prob
lens of the times.
Such speeches would not have the
dramatic touch or theatrical quality
which so many campaign tacticians
enormously think is needed nova
days for the radio audiences; but
the speeches would nevertheless ac-
quire prestige through word of
mouth comments of admiration, and
this in turn would percolate through
the general public.
Curiously enough, even in the
present type of campaign, the i'm
pressions of the personality of a
candidate which are relayed by
voters to one another are not based
so much on arguments made as on
the atmosphere of integrity or
efficiency or mental capacity which
the candidates themselves happen
to create.
But now that the campaign is
over, decisions will have to be made
by President Truman that have long
been delayed and cannot wait even
for the return of Congress in Janu-
ary. These decisions involve a
settlement of the Berlin blockade.
This can be done without "appease-
ment." While an agreement will
not remove all sources of friction
between the East and West, it will
encourage the world to hope that,
no matter how knotty or compli-
Gated the problem, the governments
of the world are ingenious enough
to find solution without resorting
to war.

Henry's column today because he

Country Club to study japanese

TOKYO, Japan.-Gen. and Mrs.
Macarthur had us for luncheon at
their home yesterday and you
should have heard the "briefing" /
got from Henry before we went.
Luncheon was not until 1:30 but
he had me up before Z, shaking his
finger in my face and laying down
the law as to what should and
should not do. He was still Emily
Posting me when we drove up to
the American Embassy, which the
MacArthurs use as home.
You would have thought the fol-
lowing things about me:
That I had never been out to
lunch anywhere at all before.
That I had no idea that Gen.
Macarthur had taken any part in
World War II.
That was q blithering idiot of
such proportions that shouldn't pe
allowed to go anywhere, let alone
out to lunch with sane, normal
people.
Has Few Medals Himself.
"Now, Jean," Henry said, don't
go telling Gen. Macarthur about
my war record. He won't be inter-
ested in your story of how I rose
through sheer merit and doggedness
to be PEG, then a corporal, and
nnally a sergeant. And don't brag
about my having won a sharpshoot-
er's medal. After all, the general
has few medals himself, including
the Medal of Honor.
Neither will he care to hear
about some Of the scrapes ] got
into during basic training at Camp
Wheeler. And you listen to me
don't try to tell the general all
about Japan after having been here
just a few days. Another thing
when the general is talking don't
interrupt him the way you do me.
There are lots of men in this world
who are used to finishing sentences,
and rather imagine that he is one
Of them"
Believe 1t or not, we got through
luncheon without my being ushered
out of the house or being given a
summary court-martial on the spot.
Gen. and Mrs. Macarthur are
completely charming people. We
had visit with Mrs. Macarthur
before the general arrived and she
took great pride in showing us
many Of the lovely things she has
purchased in Japan. They have
made it rule not to accept any
gifts from the Japanese. The En-
bassy was bare when they took it
over, and everything has been pur-
chased by Mrs. Macarthur in Jap
anese stores. The only two gifts
in the beautiful living room are two
horrible looking embroidered satin
pillows Of the sort you buy at sum-
mer resorts. They were made and
given 10 Ine general Dy grateful

I sat next to Gen. Macarthur at
lunch and had to pinch myself
when, in telling story about his
last days in Manila before the sur
render of the Philippines, he said,
And I said to them, We are going
to lose the Philippines, but shall
return"
almost said, What did you say,
General?" just to get him to say it
again.
The general is a much younger
looking man than his pictures show
him to be. He has the appearance of
man in his early fifties. His face
has the color and glow of youth, and
he has as beautiful hands as I have
ever seen on man. In talking,
he never hesitated for q word and,
