PROUD TO BE MYTHICAL

In further demonstration of his superb talent for embarrassing the President, Maj Gen. Harry H tFixit) Vaughan has delivered himself of a candid remark that made the headlines I'm con- sdered in many circles to be very unethical and I'm will continue to be-" the garrulous general said at party given in his honor by the Hobbies in Washington. There are ony two people I have to please. MT Truman and Mrs. Vaughan" The clear implication is that the President and Mrs Vaughan are pleased with his unethcal conduct And at least far the President is concerned that is an unacceptable result of his failure to discipline re- strain the bumptious general after his ndiscretons were disclosed in Congressional investigation.
 It would be charitable to that General Vaughan was clowning But there is no warrant for any such conclusion. On the contrary, he seemed to be candidy informing the that the Presi- dent has drawn protective wall about his unethical 'fixt' activities
 Since he expects to continue the conduct that has been regarded unethical, there is also hint in his remarks that he will still welcome gifts of

NEUTRAL NEHRU

Some people were disappointed when Prime Minister Nehru of In dia issued his statement that h. dia would take no sides in the cold war. In view of India's strategic position between the east and the west, his words fell with the un- welcome reverberation of rock on a polished ballroom floor.
 Nehru's neutrality, however, was not news to State Department of- ficials who invited him to this country and who knew that, as be- tween the Russians and the Brit ish, Nehru had spent most of his life fearing the British. To change this suspicion of the western world was specifically why they invited him
 Nehru spent B years in British jail, considers Russians more As iatic than European, governs peo- pie who are not much more than one rice bowl ahead of starvation. Instinctively, Indians think of Rus sia as having higher standard of living than theirs and are less fearful of the Soviet than of their

AMBASSADOR OF TITO IN MOSCOW
 I5 KICKED OUT

MOSCOW, Oct. 27-lR-Russia has charged Marshal Tito's ann bassador to Moscow with anti Soviet spying and declared that he can no longer serve as the Yu- goslav envoy here.
 A Soviet note delivered to the Yugoslav embassy said the Buda- pest treason trial of Hungary's for mer Foreign Minister Laszlo RaJk had revealed that Yugoslav Ambas- sador Karlo Mrazoyic had for a long time been engaged in spying and subversive activities against the Soviet Union" '"
 Mrazovic left Moscow for Yugo- slavia in August and has not re- turned since, though technically he remains ambassador to the Soviet Union. It had been presumed he would return to the Russian capi- tai eventually.

INSURANCE LOBBY

Congressman Walter A Lynch, New York Democrat, and consci- entious member of the Ways and Means Committee, will head sub committee to investigate an import ant loophole in the tax laws where by life insurance companies do not pay income taxes.
 The life insurance companies with admitted assets of over 50 billions and investments in practic- ally every kind of business-paid not a dime in income taxes to the Federal government for 1947 and 1948. And they will pay none for 1949.
 Despite months of negotiations with tax experts in the Treasury Department, spokesmen for the insurance companies have refused to agree to a recommendation for even a token 'stopgap" tax pay ment of S45,O00,000 year for l948 and 1949-even though going Scot free' for l947.
 At present the $500, 100000 an- nual net investment income of life insurance companies is not taxed either as to the company or as to the policyholders. The job Of the Lynch Committee is to decide what |, then to prepare legislation to close the loophcle in the present law. The committee has to do all this in the face of a lobby considerably more powerful than the real estate, oil, or public utility Hobbies.
 It will be interesting to see how Congressman Lynch makes out in his lonely battle against the giants.

"WHISTLE-STOP" CAMPAIGN

The details haven't been worked out, but President Truman is plan ming at least one trip to whip up popular support for the blanks of his fair deal legislative platform which Congress has not yet passed.
 He confined this to Representa- tives Frank Karsten of Missouri and Mel Price of Illinois when Kar- sten reminded him that the tough est battles-increased taxes, civil rights, aid to education-were to be fought in the January session.
 You ought to go out again this fall as you did during last years campaign and lay these issues square before the people, suggested the Missouri Congressman. There's still much to be done and we'll need all the popular support we can muster to enact this pending legislation
 T persuade easily" replied the President. Tn fact, i've already planned one trip to Minnesota early next month. I'm going by train and may make some stops on the way, though that's still undecided"

deep freeze units from interests that seeking favors from the government And this is spoken openly with the implied blessing of the President.
 There was time when who the uni form of the United States Army and bore the title of major general and military aide to the President was regarded public servant His official conduct was even supposed to be of some concern to the people who pay his salary But that day, alas, has vanished. The military aide has become only per sonal lackey to the Presdenta lackey who need not uphold the standards of the Army or concern his head with the ethics of public office, In other words the standards of important ceremonial office have been debased to fit the qualifications of incumbent who happens to be crony of the President. The effect is to lower the moral tone of the entire public service.

Women Voters
Washington Post)

The zest with which American woman have par ticpaed in the countrys political life during the past decade has been immensely invgorating to the demo- cratic process This zest has been the product in no small part of persistent educational efforts by the League of Women Voters, nonpartisan organization devoted to the promotion of political responsibility through informed and active participation of citizens in government. The league, with some 70O-odd local branches equips it's members with the facts about contemporary and with knowledge of the tech niques necessary to make themselves felt as an e1- fective political force.
 Here in Washington, the league will lnaugurate series of II regional conferences to train women leaders ways to stir voters to acceptance oi party responsibility The party system it recognizes IS oasic to the representative form of American Government Therefore without attachment to any particular party the league proposes to prod and use both the maJor parties for achievement of the aims its members desire No doubt will make itself felt very formld- ably in the congressional elections next year Tn urg np it's members to take part in party activities par ticuarlv at the primary level and in giving them the background to part ntelligently the league VIII exercise as in the past an extremely sautary influence.

White House and Strikes-All sorts of pressure has been brought on President Truman to inter- vene in the steel and coal strikes including appeals from such pow erful Democratic leaders as Mayor David Lawrence of Pittsburgh Jack Aryey of Chicago, and chair man Boyle of the Democratic Ma tional Committee. They wanted him at least to issue statement ask ing the steel companies to accept the finding of his own fact-find- ing board Congressman Ray Madden of Indiana. one of those who appealed, told Truman that idle steelworkers in Gary Ind, will be forced into breadlines un- less the coal and steel strikes are settled soon Many small business firms will have to close their doors if the strikes last much longer, Madden reported.
