The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

tCopyright, 1851, by Bell Syndicate. Incl " WASHINGTON-It looks as if the Man of Letters" in the White House is going to make lot of money for the recipients of those letters.
 Out in Denver, Dr. Neal Bishop, who suggested to MT. Truman thst John L. Lewis be appointed Ambas- sador to Russia, is going to auction off his Trumanesque reply for the benefit of the Denver Community Chest.
 The reply, which stated that he. Truman, would not even appoint John L. as dogcatcher, should bring a large amount of money-though Bishop has generously given the letter to the Community Chest and they will make the profit.
 Meanwhile, in Washington, Paul Hume, the Washington Post music critic, has turned down various of- fers for his letter regarding Mar garet Truman's singing. One offer is reputed in five figures.
 If MT. Hume ever does decide to sell this coveted letter, it can make him much more dough than he realizes, for he will only have to

 IN CONTROL
 OF CONGRESS
May Smack Down on Tru- man 5 Plans National De- fense However Paramount

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-R-A coalition of Republicans and South ern Democrats was firmly en- trenched in control of the 82nd Con- gress today, biding its time to smack down many of President Truman's flair deal" proposals.
 Its leaders promised clear sail ing, however, for anything the CO., alition considers vital to national defense.
 The tight hold the anti-Truman group has on the new House was demonstrated clearly on the open ing day yesterday.
 Party Division Trouble
 There was no comparable show of strength as the Senate held a rou- tine 38-minute organization session. But the party division there-49 Democrats and 47 Republicans - plus the fact that administration Democrats had previously been un- able to elect an all-out Truman sup porter as a majority leader, indi- cated rough going for the President there.
 A similar informal GOP-Dixie coalition bottled up or rejected much of Mir. Truman's domestic program in the last Congress. Be- cause of increased Republican strength in the new Congress. it promised to be even more potent in the next two critical years.
 Strangle-HOld
 This was pointed up in the House when the coalition, by a lopsided PA to 179 vote, again vested in the Rules Committee virtual strangle- hold on the legislative program.
 The Rules committee is domi- mated by coalition of four Repub- licans and four Southern Demo- crats, the minority actually being four Northern Democrats. It is the Rules Committees function to de- eide when-if ever-bills are to be acted upon in the House.
 RayDE-n Reelected Except for this House squabble { the opening session was fairly har- monious and more than usually cololeul, thanks to the newly-re- decorated Senate and House Cham bers. Galleries were filled.
 The House reelected Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas for sixth term. He defeated the COP candi- date, Rep. Joe Martin of Massa- chusetts, as everyone knew he would.
 After the brief Senate session COP Senators reelected their top leaders and then got into discus sion about who will get some choice committee assignments resulting from their increased ranks. No de- cision was reached.
 The Senate quit until Friday. The House called a meeting today but had no business scheduled.

PRICE, WAGE C0NTR0LST0
 COME SOON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 - R - President Truman said today across the-board price and wage controls are going to be put on wherever necessary and possible as soon as it can be done.
 He told news conference the administration is working with that in view.
 MT. Truman noted that it would require legislation to clamp controls on food, but said that as soon as it is physically possible wage-price controls will be set wherever it is legally possible.
 Asked if he would seek to amend a 1850 law which restricts controls on food prices, MT Truman replied by suggesting that reporters wait for his State of the Union" message next Monday.
 Message In Person
 MT. Truman will deliver this
  of the Senate and House.
 It is customary for the state of the union message to sketch in broad outlines what the President wants from Congress.
 The 1850 Defense Production Law, which gave MT. Truman wage and price control powers, stipulates that price ceilings on farm pro- ducts must not be lower than (D the highest prices in the month before the war in Korea or CD parity" prices whichever were higher. Parity is standard set by federal farm laws and declared to be fair to both farmers and con- sumers. The parity price rises and falls with changes in the prices of things farmers buy.
 Ceiling Restrictions
 Some labor unions have contended the restrictions on ceilings for farm prices make it impossible to have effective control of food prices. MT Truman remarked during his discussion that rising costs of food had contributed to the rising cost of living.
 The President was pressed by one reporter to tell why it has taken ''so long" to set up wage and price controls.
 This reporter asked whether MT. Truman would tell the American people why
 Full Controls
 Yes, the President said, he would tell the American people, but not here Cat the news conference). He emphasized that eventually 1t would be necessary for full, across the-board controls.
 As for rationing, he said we will have to cross that bridge when we get to it.
 He said that rationing would re- quire control of food prices which he said contribute so heavily to the rise in the cost of living.

 FIGHT IN
 PROGRESS
Blazing Seoul Reldpfured by Commies-W -Warships
 Are Standing By
(By the Associated Pressl

Great hordes of Chinese Com munists pushed past blazing Seoul today in an attempt to trap re- treating Allied forces and drive them into the sea.
 For the second time in seven months the capital of South Korea was in Communist hands. The Reds also seized Kimpo airfield. one of the most valuable in Korea.
 General MacArthur's headquar- ters called attention to the dan gerous breakthrough in central Korea where an estimated 180,000 Chinese and Korean Reds were driv- ing towards Wonju, 55 miles south- east of Seoul.
 Is Black Day
 It was a black day for United Ma tions arms.
 If the Communists capture Wonju they will be in position to cut off the western flank of the US. Eighth Army and menace the main route to Pusan, old beachhead supply port in southeast Korea.
 If this main central artery is cut. Allied forces west of Seoul could be forced to withdraw by sea at h. chon, Seouls port where Macarthur staged his brilliant amphibious landing and clinched a major Allied victory few months ago. At that time the Korean war seemed in it's final stages.
 Evacuation Fleet
 But now a United Nations fleet stood off the west coast ready to evacuate JUN. forces south and wess of Seoul
 US. Eighth Army headquarter- said the Communists were across the Han River one and two miles west of Seoul. It is IS miles from Seoul to Inchon.
 Two Allied roadblocks were under attack. Their locations were not given. The laconic Eighth Army re- port said the enemy was very ag- gressive.
 Terrific Battle
 The Korean Red radio at Pyong- yang said the Communists were engaged in terrific battle to ail- nihilate "the enemy along the en- tire length of the 38th parallel"
 Allied reports on the movement of battle were vague. The Eighth Army said Wednesday a general withdrawal was in process along the entire 150-mile line stretching across the peninsula.
 Raging Battle
 MacArthur reported a raging battle in Central Korea, southwest of Kapyong. The Communists have pushed past Kapyong and Chun- chon in their forceful drive to spiit the entire Eighth Army and drive it's left flank into the Yellow Sea.
 Evacuation from Inchon would be a difficult operation because or enemy pressure and a 28-foot nor nal tide. A fleet under Adm. l.. A. Thackrey was ready to meet sucn an emergency. Allied warships pounded the Communists pushing down the west coast towards In- chon.

For what the law could not do,
in that it was weak through the
flesh, God sending His own Son
in the, likeness of sinful flesh,
and for sin, condemned sin in the
flesh"
Under the law, it was counted
right, for man to treat his fell
lowman not as he would have his

him like his fellowman treated
him. Example-"Eye for Eye

DISCOUNT SAVINGS
REPORTED

The City Auditor saved $591.7O
for the taxpayers during Novem-
ber and December by diligently
taking the go discounts offered
by various firms dealing with the
City. The discounts applied to 157
claims. Although discounts have
been offered by some firms for
years for prompt payment of bills,
the City in the past has rarely
taken advantage of the possible
savings. On November 1, a pro-
cedure was put into effect which
requires employees of the Auditors
office to check every claim
promptly to determine whether
discounts are allowed.

March Of Dimes
Helps Patients
Paw Gore Bills

Dimes and dollars being contrib
uted to the March of Dimes this
January, will underwrite essential
programs of scientific research,
professional education and emer-
gency epidemic aid, in addition to
providing assistance for individual
polio patients who need it.
Half the funds remain with the
local chapter of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis. This money is used to pay
for that part of patient care which
families cannot afford and, in
emergencies, to supplement the
national epidemic aid fund for pa
tient care wherever needed.
This assistance is offered to all
persons in need, regardless of age,
race, creed or color.
The other half is sent to Ma
tional headquarters. 1t is used to
maintain the most extensive re-
search program ever levelled by
voluntary agency at a single
disease, to underwrite the educa-
ton of highly-skilled and much
needed professional personnel, and
to provide epidemic aid to chapters
in time of emergency. Epidemic
aid is available to any of the Ma
tional Foundations 1892 chapters
when their local treasures are
wiped out during epidemics. BY the
end of October last year the Ma
tional Foundation had sent more
than $7,OOO,OOO to local chapters,
with many millions more requested
that will be sent after the 1851
