Airline Lobbyist

You've got to hand it to Pan American Airways for being ver- satile when it comes to lobbying. All during the 80th Republican Congress they depended on COP 1 Senator Brewster of Maine and Sam Pryor, former COP commit | teeman from Connecticut, to do their lobbying. In fact, only one Democrat, Carol Cone, was on their lobbying payroll, and prior to November 1948 he was expected to exit after the elections.
 Immediately after the elections, however, Carroll Cone, Democrat, went up in value to Pan American, and he may become vice president.
 But in addition, Clark Clifford, soon to leave the White House for the law-lobbying business, will be- come the brightest star in Pan Ans lobbying army.
 Note: Pan American has just puV oSiooo d iiOoo PANSS Oi ioocy ing with the Civil Aeronautics Board, by which it gets one foot in the door on the route to Rome This route belongs to VIVA. But Pan Am used the excuse of carry ing holy year pilgrims, and CAB gave it a special route to Rome. It will be interesting to see whe- ther the route is surrendered after holy year is over.

Government Bonds Dumped

The interest rate (now aVerag- ing about 2.2 percent on long-and- short-term government securities) should be somewhat higher, Eccles contended, to discourage dumping of government bonds by banks insurance companies and other big purchasers. Also, it should be more flexible, he argued, so the Fed eral Reserve board could use it as a lever to prevent either an ov- erexpansion or a tightening of bank credit
 Interest rates on government sec- urities naturally influence the rates on commercial loans, Eccles pointed out, and therefore the quantity of such credit-which the Reserve system is expected to control.
 Well, the Treasury has obliga- tions, also" argued Snyder. Let the interest rate go up on govern ment bonds and there will be a howl from farmers and other groups, who will then have to pay higher financing charges on private loans and mortgages"
 Turning to Senator Douglas oi Illinois, Chairman of the meet ing, snyder remarked that Congress was chiefly responsible for infla- ton t. enos.
 Inllation originates in the Con- gress." he commented, tartly. "Ii Congress votes to appropriate great sums of money and then doesnt increase taxes to balance this spending, you are making ln1la- ton. You can't build up big de- ficits without taking risks

"SLIGHTLY FRENCH"
 AT CAPITOL THEATRE

Slightly French" the new Co., lumbia comedy with music starring Dorothy Lamour and Don Ameche is at the Capitol Theatre for to- night only. Said to be happy com hination of love and laughter and told against the exciting back ground of motion picture studio, Slightly French" has been joyously praised by Hollywood as an original, daring and amusing parody of that fabulous city and it's people.
 As Mademoiselle O'Leary from Brooklyn. Miss Lamour portrays a arnival "come-on" girl with ver- atile ability to mimic accents and anguages, enticing the paying cus- oners into the French, Brazilian nd Cockney girlie- -girlie shows. It
 here that she is discovered" py nelnployed film director Ameche, ho persuades her to abandon the arrival and settle down to the srlous business of acquiring a per- lanent (slightly) French accent, nd all the glamor that goes with otential stardom. Once past the ducational process, she IS maneuv- red into a star contract. With her c the studio goes her mentor, the elf-centered Ameche.
 Slightly French gives Miss La- nour a glamorous wardrobe, be- itting 3 potential star as well as
 masquerading Parisienne, rang ig from hathing suits through treet wear 10 evening gowns, coats i'd hats. Tn addition. the actress cts to sing four memorable tunes.

Robbing Peter

The Treasury chief added that the low interest the government was paying on it's bond issues re- presented that much of a saving to the taxpayer and helped to balance the budget. However, Ec- cles shot back that it did nothing of the kind, but was rob- to- pay-Paul policy that actua-ly cost the taxpayers more in the long run.
 Low interest rates on government bonds often lead to dumping by big investors, who prefer to rein vest their money in less secure but more profitable commercial loans, he explained. Since the Federal Reserve system is required hy law to buy up the bonds dump ed on the open market, this further increases National Bank reserves against which more inflationary money is then issued.
 The amount of money the Trea- sury is saving now by it's fixed, low interest rates, is only a pittanee compared with the future cost of inflation-if Snyder continues his present policy, Eccles warned.

needed to get the bill before the House. The home movement running into the severes test it has yet had to meet.
 It is widely conceded that if the bill comes before the House next year it will be passed Since it has already passed the Senate and the President known
 to be favorable to it, the big undertaking is to dislodge the bill the committee. In pursuit of that objective the homerule boosters are trying to bring influence to bear upon many Congressman through their constituents at home. That is sound approach But hope they will remember that interest in the mater in distant States is likely reflect the interest that manifested right here in the voteless District itself.
 We have always been convinced that if the people of the District through their citizens associations their labor unions and numerous civic groups present their demands to Congress in impressive form they can scarcely be turned down. For this movement has as it's purpose relief of Congress from intolerable burden as well as democratization of the Capital City If the campaign is made sufficiently impressive, the noise will be heard in the States and Congressmen well conclude that failure to sign the home-rue peti- ton will be a handicap in the 1850 election But the groups sponsoring this movement will have to work fast The next four five months are crucial, and if the measure cannot be forced onto the floor of the House in that time, home rule will suffer a very serious setback.
