Taft's Poor Judgment

Goodwin sold himself 10 Taft :, l948 on the idea that he could round up Catholic delegates. though actually he was a constant Aaoll- ity. Not realizing that Goodwin E connections with the Coughll1-te extremists were not al al repre- sentative of the church, Taft se1I Goodwin all over the L. 5. where he represented himself as Ta.tk bosom pal, and made outrageous claims of political achievement6-
 Among other things he claimed responsibility for the l94e election of COP Senators Ecton in Mon tana and Malone in Nevada was supposed to have brain- trusted Reyercomb of West Virginia and Robertson of Wyoming; and claim ed that he lined up Governor Duff of Pennsylvania for Taft, though Duff was for Dewey in the end.
 Despite this, Taft has shown such poor judgment as to spend hours with lobbyist Goodwin-even today listening to him boast of his political power inside the church and with old-line Democrats.

Hidden NepOtism-The taxpay- CTS still can't find out how much Senators are paying their employ ees. Though the House payroll is made secret. Secretary of the Sen- ate Les Biffle promised to tell all in his annual report. But when it was released last week, all he listed were names, not salaries-and only up to Dec 31, 1949. It's the taxpayers money, and they are en- titled to know how it is spent but MT. Biffle doesn't seem to re- alize this.
 New Drug Addicts-An Indian cult of drug addicts, common in the West, is now moving Eastward. This is a religious cult built around the use of peyote, drug derived from the seed pod of cactus. The Indians chew on the drug during all-night rituals around the camp fire.

 Note-during- the original Me- Carthy conference at Georgetown University, some of the clerics were emotional against Secretary Acheson for failing to send an ambassador to the Vatican, though actually it has been Truman, not Acheson, who has held back on thls.

Tale of the RubIe
CWashington PoSt)

Washington Post)
 The ruble does not circulate outside Russia, and the dollar sterling which tied to the dollar at the present rate of s2so to the pound used the basis of measurement in foreign trade deals with Western countries Thus the revauation of the ruble will have little effect on Russas trade with this part of the world However, it might mean that in future the U s. s. R. intends to put its barter trade with sael- lite countries a ruble basis If that happens, the terms of trade will be altered to their disadvantage since the Russians by keeping rube prices for exported goods unchanged could demand more goods of their satellites in exchange.
 The announcement that the special diplomatic rate of exchange fixed at eight rubles to the dollar is to be changed to sx-ruble rate, and abandoned after July will, however, result in large boost in the already extremely high costs of the United States Embassy in Moscow. That is way of feecing foreigners The increased value of the rube in terms of gold may also portend cuts in Russa's own gold production since gold mining is being carried on at great cost at the present time. It is surmised that Russia may be planning to obtain additional gold supplies at the parity rate for rubles from Romana and other satellites. But that is sheer speculation.
 The explanation given for the revaluation Of the ruble-hat is its increased purchasing power the result of the decreased purchasing power of the dollar is baderdash It is, of true that the pur- chasing power of the dollar has declined owing to nfation while successive reductions in Russian prices since the currency reforms of 1947 have raised the purchasing power of the ruble Nevertheless the ruble is still grossly overvalued today at the existing official rate of dollar exchange. Russia could not do business with the outside world the existing exchange basis if the rube were used in international transactions It's value in of comparative purchasing power only an nconsderable fraction of the 25 cents that is the new decreed exchange value.

Catholic Criticism

Significant development in the State Department Red hunt is the recent editorial in the Catholic Review, official organ of the Washington Baltimore Archdio- cese. critical of Senator Mccarthy
 Significance of the editorial lies in the fact that though McCarthy's ever changing charges have been deplored by many lay Catholics, his original campaign was discus sed and encouraged by some of the clergy at Georgetown University acting unofficially and as individ- uals. He has also received viz orous support from the Brooklyn Tablet and some of the former Coughlinite extremists which do not represent the church.
 How much this latter support was inspired by William J Good win, former Coughlinite and Chris tian Fronter, is problematical Goodwin is a registered lobbyist and gets 25,000 a year for promot- ing the cause of the Kuomintane and the Soong Dynasty in Wash ington. Undoubtedly he has some influence with his old friends oi the Brooklyn Tablet.
 Regardless of this, lobbyist Good win definitely has an interesting connection with Sen. Bob Taft, anc this may account for Taft's state ments-which have aStonlShet many old friends-supporting Mo Carthy. Goodwin occupies an off. ice, while in Washington, witt Paul Marshall, formerly a member of Tafts staff, and, during th' l94S election campaign, Goodwin was one of Taft's political workers

U. s. DEMOCRACY FACES FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL

 In the schoolhouses all the country, and to the young and dealisc, the wise say: As disgusting as are the machinatons of Congress, they prefer able to the totalitarian forms of government, and: "even though some of the lawmakers abuse their au- thority, they elected representatives of the people, and the people always turn them out their up- pers.'
 As the United States toward what looks sus- picously like World War Ill., it is we'll to look into our weak points, One of them doubt is that democracies are sow-noving, bungesom machines For instance, it took the Senate committee, charged with reporting By that time prices could have hit the ceiling, but they didn't and we will all live.
 All of remember that the draft prior to World War II, passed by only one vote in the House.

 These supply difficulties are be- ing aggravated daily for the Reds by U. S. air attacks. Already man. power and oxen are being used by the Reds to move food and am- munition.
 Again today Allied planes lash ed at Red targets. B-29's hit at three northern east coast cities Chongjin, 60 miles from Siberia, Songjin and Hamhung. The Su- perforts also blasted rail yards at Pyongyang, the northern capital. At Wednesday American aid Aus tralian fighters took off to sup support Allied troops at the front.
 Naval, patrols continued on the east and west coasts. Warships bombarded east coast ports. Two Russian-built Yak fighter, planes attacked the British destroyer Comus Tuesday, but the ship was reported undamaged. Two Yaks hit at South Korean naval units in the Yellow, Sea Wednesday.
 In the Security Council, anti communist delegates studied Rus sia's latest blasts for hints of a new war threat. Soviet delegate Jakob A. Malik told. the council at Lake Success, N. Y., yesterday that continuation of military op- erations in Korea would lead not to localization of the conflict but would inevitably lead to broadening of the conflict, fraught with serious consequences" III tIldI IllIllIl SSSSlOIl Ol tIlS council since Malik assumed it's presidency for the month, there was no progress on the Korean question, but the U. S.. and British representatives lashed Russia with strong words.
 In Washington, state depart ment counsellor George F. Ken nan, who is stepping aside after several years as top foreign pol icy maker, said he believes the United States must maintain a large military establishment for many years to come, but he hopes the U. s. people will not come to accept the idea of war with Rus sia as inevitable.
 In the matter of costs for Korea, Secretary of Defense Johnson and other military leaders have cautioned Congress they may have to come back for more money on top of the $10, 0,500,O00,- 900 President Truman asked for the Korean war.
