in opposing bipartisan economic policy, he certainly laid his cards on the table.
 For several weeks, patient Sen ator Joe O'Mahoney, Wyoming Democrat, has been trying to get his joint committee on the econ- omic report to agree on a long term plan for full employment. In order to please Taft, O'Mahoney whittled down tiie Truman Fair Deal program though it still con- tained mild statement that the way ?, to, achieve full employment was by moderate government stim- ulation of private enterprise. The plan also included some of the Fair Deal ideas that Taft himself has championed in the past, such as low-cost housing.
 After toning down the report Senator O'Mahoney finally handed lit to Taft at a recent closeddool session. The Ohio solon read 1t then with a broad grin exclaimed
 This is a nice essay and I can agree with most of it. But doggone itl How do you expect me tc campaign on thing like that! I've got to go out and be against everything that Truman stands for. ,
 O'Mahoney, who had tried hard to get political unanimity, obviously was irked.
 If we are going to divide along purely political lines,' he said this committee might just as well close its doors in election years"

Oregon Smear Campaign

Politicians who are victimized by smear campaigns can take tip from Senator Wayne Morse, the plucky Oregon Republican.
 During his rough primary fight, Morse was accused of being "soft on Communism and pro-fellow traveller. The whispering campaign against him was malicious and deadly.
 But two days before the election, Morse turned the tide by taking newspaper ads in which he offered to answer any and all questions during an hour on the radio be- fore an audience. A special battery of phone operators took down the questions from the unseen aud fence and the Senator answered one after the other in machine gun fashion.
 Morse's opposition sent in smear questions" which brought the issue out in the open, and gave him a chance to answer. He is certain that radio-quiz hour won his decisive renomination.

WIlDlIFE SERVICE
 CLAMPS DOWN ON
 UNLICENSED ANGLERS

With more than 10 cases pending in the Anchorage and Palmer areas against sports fishermen who failed to take out license prior to angling in trout streams, Clarence Rhode, head of the Fish and Wildlife Serv- ice, issued warning today that the service will clamp down strongly on evaders of the fee.
 The fishing license for residents of the Territory is S1, with $2 hunting license entitling the l- censee to take game as well as fish, and a $3 license allowing game to be trapped, hunted, and fish taken.
 Half of funds from these licenses goes to the Alaska school fund, the other half to the federal treasury.

HoganIs
 Golf King

ARDMORE, Pa, June 12-R- The whole golf world knew it today and no one dared question 1.-the boss man is back.
 He's back with two sound legs, a new pin-hungry quality to his golt shots and a determination that marks him as one of the great masters of all time.
 The climax chapter in the fan tastic Ben Hogan saga was written yesterday down the fairways and across the tricky greens of Merion's historic East Course.
 He's the greatest of them all, acknowledged Lloyd Mangrum, tough old pro himself, after being beaten in the 18-hole triple playoft for the 5Oth National Open Cham pionship.
 Mangrum is hard, nerveless character on the golf course but he must have blanched at the steady stream of pars and birdies flung at him and George Fazio in the extra round.
 Hogan, moving briskly on legs once battered in a collision with a ten-ton bus, fashioned methodical one -under-par 69 to win easily
 Mangrum, 35-year-old Texan playing out of Niles, H., shot 73, counting an unfortunate two-stroke penalty for blowing bug off his ball, and Fazio. balding 37-year- old home pro from Washington, DC, registered 75.

partner in the firm of Wood and Tallant, but was also on the Con- gressional payroll and worked in Woods office in Washington. This, in itself, is an unusual arrange ment, since Tallant not only draws $7,022 from thesSeyexnment. to work for Wood, but also handles law case from the vantage point of the congressman's office.
 Thus Tallant, both as law partner and employee, was in position to speal, for the Congressman. And when he made out check for S1,00), Mack Stanfield, father of the crippled boy, signed it. '
 I have in my possession a photo stat copy of that check, dated Sept. 13, 1947, on the Bank of Canton, Canton, Georgia. I also have a phot ostat of check dated the same day, made out to Cokers Hosr rital for $3,30O In other words, when young Stanfield got the Sl0,- 900 compensation from the govern ment, he immediately paid the bills incurred by his illness, and simul- tanecusly was persuaded to pay an unjust fee to Congressman Wood $ law partner and congressional em- ployee.
 It is significant that after the check was passed, Congressman Wood apparently got worried. For the elder Stanfield says that the congressman asked him to keep the matter quiet. Of course, if the congressman thought anything was wrong he could have returned the check. But he didn't.

Senator Russell IS Different


 Also significant is the fact that ten days ago when the congress man heard I was interested in this pay-off, he sent friend of the Stanfields around and asked to borrow the cancelled check, promising to return it. It has not been returned, however, and prob ably won't be. What the congress- man did not know was that I had obtained notarized photostats of the telltale check before he borrowed it.
 In contrast to the $1,000 paid Congressman Woods office for helping crippled boy, was the fact that Senator Russell got sim liar relief for another Georgian who was hurt by the same U. S. Army truck. But Senator Russell like 99 ger cent of the other mem bers of Congress, performed this service-as he was supposed to dc merely as part of his routine job of being a senator. He charged no fee.
 The second man hit by the truck was Herman Philyaw, also of Tate Georgia, who was standing along side young Stanfield when the Army truck came round a sharp turn, out of control, and crashed into them. Stantield's leg was smashed and Philyaw broke his wrist. Senator Russell promptly got bill passed paying damages to Philyaw, but charged him n'o fee. Congressman Wood got 8 similar bill passed for Stanfield for which his office collected S1,000
