 What this committee proposes to do in addition to bringing aid to those helpless victims and assisting them to escape is to establish commission of inquiry consisting of former political deportees, inmate of the Naz concentration camps, men who know the world of the concentration camp and cannot be duped once established this commission would formally demand from the Soviet Government the right to conduct an investigation on the spot, within the Russian camps
 The matter has already been brought up before the United Nations but that body could not overcome the resistance the part of the Iron Curtain dele gates to an investigation. The Rescue Committee

 It considerate of the weather brewers, of course, to provide Washington with such mild winter at least during the first portion There to be sure, mild perplexity apparent reversal of the during the January heat Even that good-humored sort of conjecture however and the fact that hte only noticeable snow arrived after the robins was excusabe, suppose, reminder that winter still exists somewhere.

Gas-GO-ROund

Hottest backfire against the Kerr
 gas bill is going to be in the Presi-
 dents home state, where it may
 defeat Trumans handpicked Sen-
 atorial candidate, Emory Allison.
 Missouri is as gais- consuming state, and COP Sen. Forrest Don nell has been making the most of Democratic support for the so- called k-the-consumer" Kerr
 bill. Missouri Congressman
 Moulder's last-minute switch to the gas companies will help him. Moul-
 der, Democrat, was one of four
 votes changed at the last minute. Congressman Tom Pickett of Texas, Speaker Rayburn scout, arranged
 his switch. Republicans will also play up the way top Democratic
 eaders took run-out on con-
 sumers-including House Demo-
 cratic leader John Mccormack Of Boston. He represents thousands of
 gas consumers, but he voted against them-which influenced several other Democrats. Senate leader Scott Lucas took run-out powder, didn't bother to come back to vote .(No wonder the Republicans are gloating). However, their idol, Senator Taft, also voted against the consumer, which will
 increase natural gas costs to the big cities of Cleveland, Cincinnati, l Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, Akron.

Mccarthy Rebuffed

In speech after speech on the Senate floor, he charged that the U. s. Army had extorted confes- sions from the murderers. His cam paign was much like that now aim ed at the State Department, and he was so insistent that subcom- mittee of the Senate Armed Ser vices Committee finally was ap- pointed to make an investigation.
 It wrote unanimous report up- holding the Army and inferentially condemning Mccarthy. The Sen ator from Wisconsin, the commit tee indicated, had been sold a bill of goods by the National Council for the Prevention of War and other outfits with close German connections.
 McCarthy's Senate colleagues al- so urged the Justice Department to investigate the unusual activ- ity in this case of certain organiza- tions and individuals" and ever asked the Defense Department tc probe the possibility of plan tc revive German nationalistic spirit by discrediting the American mili- tary government and to determine whether this is part of larger plan to bring Germany into closer relationship with the Soviet Union.
 Thus McCarthy's own colleagues implied that he might be lend ing himself to the same Com munist goals which he now con- demns in the State Department They also raised the point that sucf able SS men as those found guilty at Malmedy should not be released and be permitted to affiliate witt "the Communist forces of Europe.
 McCarthy's campaign for the Nal. medy slayers was played up il German Communist papers, whicf featured reports that U. s. Officeri had put match sticks under th' fingernails of Nazi prisoners, hat tortured their sex organs. Thougl completely untrue, these report seriously undermined U. s. mili tary prestige in Germany.
 In the end, a Senate committe ruled unanimously against the Sen ator from Wisconsin who has nov shifted to the State Department il his untiring effort to remain in tn limelight.
