Mrs. Barkley Gavels

The most charming gavel-banger on Capitol Hill is now Mrs. Alben Barkley, or Madame Vice President
 While her husband presides over the Senate, she presides over the Senate ladies every Tuesday. They meet to roll bandages for the Red Cross, to plan an annual tea for the First Lady, or just to gossip.
 Mrs. Barkley didn't go out and compete for the job of presiding officer; she married it. In fact, the news of this new responsibility was broken rather coyly by none other than the Vice President Do you know anything about parliamentary proosdure?" asked Barkley, with feigned innocence.
 Heavens, why?" was the sus-
 Well, you are going to have to preside over the Senate ladies, announced the Vice President. 1 Mrs. Barkley thought it over for minute, then replied: Well, I've been in Red Cross groups for Is years. We never needed any parl- iamentary procedure
 1 But just to be on the safe side the Vice President gave his wife a few easy lessons. Whether it was this or her own tact, the second lady has been a big hit as pre- i siding officer.

SWEARING WITH WALLACE

Henry Wallace is unpopular man these days. The association of his name with idea is an almost sure way to discredit it. But Senator Ferguson Of Michigan carried the game too far when he blamed the former vcepresdent for this countrys failure to save China from the Communists
 The Senator said Wallace wrote secret report in 1914 and he implies that the report responsible for a shift of American support away from the Na- tonast government. Mir Wallace comedies that he made some suggestions about what to do in China, but he says they weren't followed by the admnistra ton He says fact that if they had been accepted i've would be in a much stronger position in the Orient today"

BIGGER AND BETTER

In crime as in many other matters, the American motto is bigger and better" Certainly the robbery of Boston armored truck company headquarters, for take of more than $1,OOO000, sets record in the annals of American crime. At least as measured in dollars this brazen robbery, committed by nine men in Halloween masks stands in a class by itself
 Perhaps the moral of the story, if there is one at all lies in the observation that company, like nation, may gradually to trust too much for it's security in the Haunting of weapons For most enemies, firearms and armor act as powerful deterrent But for cunning enemies, guns are only dangerous weapons if yielded by alert and We-disci plined men,
 Perhaps the American people, trusting in arma- ments that cost s4Oo0 OOO year. could take tip from the Boston robbery.

TWILIGHT Or MORALS

As much as I dislike writing about Ingrid Bergman and her il- licit relations, I find myself im- pelled to quarrel with those who speak of facing the sinner with pity and compassion and giving the impression thereby that religion approves of sin. Such view not only misrepresents religion but is utterly without logic. And it is nec- essary to fight it hard. For the trouble with the Bergman business is that it is not private; it is pub lie. Ingrid Bergman and her as- sociate made it public. They chose to act private play in public.
 Pity and compassion are unre- lated to approval We may pity the convicted murderer but we do not approve of murder nor do we approve of the murderer. It seems so sad that anyone would be a murderer and maybe it is a pity that we have to execute the poor devil. But, then again, he should not have committed the murder.
 The apologists for Ingrid Berg man, unwittingly, I am sure, give the picture of naive, romantic young lady who wandered afar from the social conventions in pur- suit of romance. Nonsense! This is, woman in her thirties, the mother of an 11-year old child, an actress of wide experience, who knows precisely what she has done and revels in it publicly.
 She has chosen to flout the mores of her race bralenly. I can not see what pity or compassion have to do with condoning a bras silly noisy rejection of marriage vows, with infidelity and adultery with bringing a child into the world out of wedlock, with bringing shame to the innocent child, Pia.
 Of course, I pity Ingrid Berg
The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-02-18

man. I pity her for being brazen; a grown woman who acts like a juvenile delinquent and gets caught I pity her for lacking respect for moral law.
 But by that pity, do not mean to indicate any respect for her, or any association with her, even tc the extent of seeing any of her pictures again.
 She was not driven by hunger and privation to abandon home, husband and child She lived fr luxury, comfort and wealth, and if her husband no longer pleased her, her responsibility to her child, Pia, remained unchanged and moral conduct and the proprieties re- uuired her to restrain herself from having a child until she could. un- der civil law at least, cct.tor.n to OUT way of life.
 It has long been a tradition among my people that it is more evil to commit a sin in public than
 n private, because the public sin dds to the offense a brazen atti- ,ude, flouting of decency and m example to others. The Talmud,
 n interpreting passage in the Prophet, Habakkuk, makes the point that if a learned man is inn pelied by his evil nature to sin, let him go to another city and disguise himself.
 What this means, in simple fact, is that if Ingrid can get away with such brass, why not your daughter? And if your daughter, why not every little girl, until mar riage as an institution is abolished and the world is filled with father less and motherless children. Trag-
 e results of deep emotion do hap pen, but not as an excellent ex- ample to be followed.
 The point is further made by Ingrid's defenders that lots of wo- men do the same. That can have nothing to do with us Thou shalt not commit adultery" is often preached. And none of us is so perfect as never to have broken the moral code. Yet, even the sim ners that we are, we must fight for the preservation of moral law or we abandon civilization. Our own sins may not be used to con- done evil.
 And so, when one pleading for Ingrid Bergman asks US to have compassion on the sinner, on the grounds that we, too, have sinned, he omits the word, repentent. For that is the whole of the matter If there is no repentance, but rather pride and glory in the sin, then wrong is made to appear as right and the world becomes topsy- turvy.
 Decent people must challenge the devils theology that would make Ingrid Bergman's license saintly act.

ing background behind Senator MeCagthy's charges. Somewhat the same charges were made three years ago by another Republican, this one Congressman Bartel Jonk- man of Michigan, just across the lake from Mccarthy in Wisconsin.
 On Feb. 26 1947, Jonkman nam cd two of the same alleged State Department officials-Keeney and Dursn-eyen though they were not then with the State Department. Jcnkman also hurled some accu- sations at Joseph Panuch. then De- puty Secretary of State Actually Fanuch was the man who eased out Keeney and Duran, but Jonk- man attacked him anyway.
 As a result, Panuch sued Con- eressman Jonkman and the publish CT of the Washington Times Herald for libel The suit against the Tilnes-Herald publisher had to be dropped because of her death, bal the Congressman from Michigan compromised the suit with an of ficial abject apology which stated: Tt was not my intention to accuse you of lying or of any other inn proper conduct in connection with yOur duties as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State during your tenure of office" The Congressman also paid Panuch's court costs and, incidentally, was defeated for re- election
 But now, after both the voters and Mir Panuch took care of the Republican Congressman fl 0 m Michigan, almost exactly the same charges are shouted by the Re- publican Senator from Wisconsin.

Truman Breaches

With Bible in hand, Baptist Har- " Truman preached a sermon the ether day to a dozen Methodist Ministers. He started off by assur- ing: Well, I am not going to preach a sermon"
 Nevertheless he fingered through his Bible, read two chapters out Of Isaiah, and upon this based his hoge for the peace and happiness of the world.
 You said you didn't intend to preach a sermon, but you have actually preached an excellent ser mon responded Bishop J. Ralph Magee, head of the Methodist Church in Illinois, when the Presi- dent had finished
 T am sure that all the gentle men present would be happy to have Harry Truman fill their pull pits any time he could find it possible" added Illinois Sen. Scott Lucas, who had introduced the Ministers at the White House.
 This brought applause from the Ministers.
 Truman went on to congratulate them for coming to Washington to study government, and suggested that more people should visit the capital to study what the Pre- sident and Congress are up against
 MT Lucas is carrying a very heavy load on the Hill, and it would be difficult for me to reach my objectives without his assis- tance," Truman added.
 As a parting shot, the President reminded the visiting Ministers that his primary theme in life is to bring peace to mankind"
