A.Bomb Plan Readied
THERE'S BEEN no change in the
= Presidents ban against A-bomb-
ing in the Korean war, but in order
not to get caught unprepared, air
force chiefs are working out all de-
tails for future use-just in case.
They want to be able to retaliate
"a hours after Moscow makes the
first aggressive move. This means
that lists of main bombing targets
and atomic bases for launching
B-36's must be all set chief
reason for the navy's quiet current
efficiency is the teamwork of Ad-
miral Forrest Sherman and home
spun Secretary Matthews. Matthews
picked Sherman as the Invest ad-
miral in the navy by reading the
army-navy unification hearings. His
judgment has been fully justified
They pull together perfectly
). Sen. Margaret Chase Smith of
Maine bowed out of the senate
overlapping probe because she
would have to sit in judgment on
her fellow-senator from Maine,
Owen Brewster. Since Brewster
has been making noises about de-
feating her, Mrs. Smith decided
she would be a prejudiced Judge
and excused herself.
HOLDBACK ON HOARDERS-
1t was significant that when Con-
gresswoman Helen Gahagan Doug
las of California proposed an
amendment reinstating rent con-
trolls in cities where rents increased
drastically, not one Republican
voted for it. Her amendment was
defeated. (Looks like the real es-
tate lobby is still strong) Cred
it Florida's Dwight Rogers with
the breakdown amendment on
hoarders which would send them to
Jail. The vote on this crossed party
lines Not crossing party lines,
however, was the proposal for an
immediate excess profits tax pro-
posed by alert Congressman Walter
Huber of Akron, O., Democrat.
Pushed by Democratic Congress-
man Dan Flood of Wilkes Barre,
Pa, and Mrs. Douglas. the amend
ment at first was adopted, then
thrown out of the control bill. Most
Republicans were opposed.
TEXAS POLITICS-Young Maury
Maverick (his father was the able
congressman from Texas and ex-
mayor of San Antonio) is now rum
ming for the Texas legislature in a
race which sets a record for gall.
Maverick Jr., is opposed by Frates
S. Seeligson, aged "a, scion of one
of the wealthiest oil families in
Texas. The other day, Seeligson
Sr., came to Maverick Sr., and
urged that young Maverick with
draw from the race. "My boy is
wealthy and therefore will be an
honest legislator" said the elder
Seeligson. Furthermore your boy
will be drafted and my boy won't"
Young Maverick refused to
bulge. He has already served four
years in the marines in the South
Pacific and will serve again if
needed Meanwhile the Seelig-
son family is spending an estimated
$4,000 to elect its scion, though a
lot of veterans are chipping in vol
UNFAIRLY to help young Maverick.
ASIATIC U. N. PRESIDENT
General Macarthur has sent Phil
ippine general Carlos Romulo, now
president of the United Nations as
sembly, a cable addressed Dear
Carlos" which states: 1--WE all
watched with so much pride and
enthusiasm your great efforts OF
the past two years in the fields of
diplomacy and craftsmanship. But
now the guns have begun to speak.
While I know it cannot be, would
feel sense of comfort to have you
at my right hand again." This
should further clinch the idea Of
having Gen. Romulo go to Korea as
part of the U.N. command in order
to make Asiatics realize ours is
not a white mans imperialistic in
vasion. Unfortunately this Moscow
line is believed in much of the
orient.
UNDER THE DOME-Mystery?
WIN put llle pIeSuIe VII SOE-
gresham Cellar of New York to
induce him to call off his long pro-
posed investigation of Pan Amer
lean World Anyways? Out in
Illinois, so many Republicans are
fed up with the Chicago Tribune's
harpooning of the war effort, that
they are forming Republican clubs
to re-elect Sen. Scott Lucas, Demo-
crat . If Washington really want
ed to show an about war effort it
would curtail the fancy, plush
planes reserved for cabinet officers,
the top brass and other Vip's. Most |
people have forgotten that in War
II, Harry Hopkins, ,Averell Harri-
man and other dignitaries hoped |
the Atlantic in bucket seats or in the
bomb bay of bombers. Ed himself |
had no special plane until near the
wars end.
