HOOSICK FALLS, N. y
R.-In this place, the folks
know about Grandma Moses
and her fame as an octo-
genarian painter. But they
wanted to do a little some
thing for her and arranged a
quiet little tea at st. Marks
Episcopal Church, with an
exhibit of some of Grandma's
earliest paintings.
The word got out, some
how, and was spread far and
wide. Before the day was
over, Hoosick Falls police had
to call on sheriff's deputies
for help to handle the crowds.
At least 5000 persons showed
up to crowd the town, which
has only 1900 inhabitants.
License plates on visiting
cars showed they had come
from all over New England.
New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio. At one time the line
was three deep for several
blocks.

members of her family called
halt and took the S9-year-
old little artist to her home
in Eagle Bridge, five miles
away.
But all the excitement did
not bother Grandma-she
took it all like a trooper.

are enacted. He sneered at the "repu-
tation" of the Eighty-first Congress
and sharply criticized its leaders.
The immediate result was a stam-
pede to reverse themselves. Mr.. Muir
rays May 81 statement was in letters
to Senate Leader Scott Lucas and
House Leader John Mccormack. On
June /, Mr. Mccormack replied 20
Mr.. Murray substantially as follows:
Il am in receipt of your letter and
there is nothing in it with which
am not in full agreement" With
that much of what Mr. Murray de-
manded had already passed the Sen
ate (Which is not at all accurately and
hat it was the House that Jagged.
IF, however" he said, at is impossi-
BILE to pass the major measures de-
manded by July 81, we will extend
the time for adjournment"
Other leaders followed with SINH
lar stultifying declarations. Literally,
over night their attitude changed.
But the realities of course have not
changed. 1t is just as true as before
that the bulk of Mr.. Humans do
nestle program will not go through
at this session-first, because senti-
ment in the country does not favor it;
second, because a majority of Con-
gress is opposed. Mr.. Murray, with
single vote in Congress but he has
accomplished two things. For one, he
compelled the Democratic leadership
publicly to put on show of shame
ful subservience such as has not been
seen in our politics before. OF course,
since 1886 the Democrats, nationally,
have been allied with the CLIO and
acquiesced in its claim of being in
dispensable to Democratic success.
But, previously, there had been no I'M
camouflaged admission that they took
orders from it.
That is exactly what the party
leaders have done this time. A con-
siderable number of their followers
are Inundated. 1t is one thing, they
say, to play politics with the CLIO; it
is quite another to submit openly to
CIO dictation. The second thing Mr..
Murray has accomplished is to post
pone Senate action on the terribly i'm
portant North Atlantic pact, for
which Secretary of State Acheson and
General Marshall have earnestly APP
pealed. Until he cracked the whip and
the leaders jumped through his hoop,
the pact had the right of way in the
Senate. Due to the unselfish patriot

Shameful Servility

A more unpleasant exhibition OF
political servility than that of the
Democratic leaders in Congress last
week would be hard to imagine. 1t
was an utterly unconcealed perform
ance, too right out in the open.
Strangely, it got slight newspaper at
tention.
Reference is to the extraordinary
manner in which, after the unctuous
Mr.. Philip Murray, head of the ClO,
cracked the whip over their backs,
these Democratic leaders craveny
swung away from the position they
had assumed and obsequiously
chorused, in effect: Eyes, Mr.. Muir
ray; Eyes, indeed, Mr.. Murray !;
"You are perfectly right, Mr.. Muir
ray; 1--WE are in complete accord
with you, Mr.. Murray" Previously
they had given every evidence of not
being in the least accord with Mr..
Murray. On the contrary, they had
publicly promulgated the view that
most of Mr.. Truman's fantastic Fair
Deal" program was doomed as far as
this session is concerned.
Publicly, Mr.. Truman rejected this
notion-though there is reason to be-
lieve he privately accepted its truth.
He piously hoped at press confer
ence that most of his proposals would
be enacted before adjournment. Pay
ing slight attention to this. Admins
tration leaders declared that only the
North Atlantic pact, the reciprocal
trade agreements and the Taft-Hart-
ley repeal could be acted upon at this
session. Everything else would have
to 90 over until next fall. Adjourn
ment would be not later than July 81.
That was the way things stood up to
May 81. On that day, speaking as
one with authority, Mr.. Murray stern
IL rebuked the Democratic leader
ship. He abruptly ordered it to halt
its drift toward congressional in
action" He called upon it for Il
"forthright statement" of its purpose
