Senators O'Conor, Kefauver, Hunt
and Tobey-to meet him in public
debate in Miami's Bayfront Park.
One of the things Senator O'Conor
and other members of the COM
mittee had to think about was
what action to take on Gov. War
ren's scornful rejection of the sub
poena. They proceeded cautiously
since, as Senator O'Conor is the
first to point out, the committee
has no desire to get involved in
controversy involving a States
sovereignty. "That, the Marylander
explains, is outside our scope"
Conciliotoy Move
In a conciliatory move, week
ago, Senator O'Conor wrote Gov.
Warren, offering to have the COM
mittee return to Florida and hold
a hearing at any time and place to
be agreed on if Gov. Warren would
testify.
Senator O'Conor delicately en-
phasized that honest, upright
citizens everywhere, including Gov
ernors and other high public off,
cials" had volunteered testimony
before the committee.
Even that proposal did not quite
meet with Gov. Warren's approval.
In another four-page letter, he sug-
gested that the committee come to
Tallahassee for a conference" with
him at which he would not be re-
quired to give testimony under an
oath specifically requiring him to
tell the truth.
Each of us is under oath of
Office" the Governor observed,
(which is sufficient for the con-
ference"
Here was a new point of contro-
versy. Senator O'Conor takes the
position that testimony not under
oath might not be as valuable as
testimony buttressed by $50 help
me God"
There is" he says, mo reason why
the committee ought to depart from
its established policy of requiring
all testimony under oath"
There the matter rests at the
moment, and there it may rest for
the remaing few weeks of the COM
mittee's life. But if the committees
life is extended, the great battle of
the brickbats probably will be ex-
tended, too.

By Cecil HoIIond

The battle between Gov. Fuller
Warren of Florida and the Senate
Crime Committee seemed for
while like the proverbial encounter
of an irresistible force and an i'm
movable object. Congress power to
subpoena witnesses was the force.
That old chestnut, State SOW
ereignty, was the object At pres
ent, the object is looking more
immovable than the force is look
ing irresistible.
Like Mark Twain's formula for
duel-"brickbats at three-quarters
of mile"-this has been strictly
long-range affair.
It was, in Its origin, an outgrowth
of the Crime Committees investi-
cation of gambling and racketeer-
ing in Florida, particularly in the
Miami area.
Ghost of Al copone
AS result Of those Investigations,
the committee formally reported to
the Senate that Gov. Warren "al-
lowed the power of his Office to be
used by the Capone syndicate in its
successful effort to muscle into
Miami Beach gambling" It charged
that Gov. Warren did this after ac-
cepting huge campaign contribu-
tions from one William H. john
ston. Mr.. Johnston has, according
to the report, "close connections
with the present and past members"
of the old Capone gang of Chicago.
The committee also criticized the
45-year-old Florida executive for
reinstating Sheriff Jimmy Sullivan
of Dade County (Miami), who had
been suspended after the Dade
County grand jury charged he had
failed to enforce laws against gam
bling.
After Senator Kefauver, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee retired as chair
man, the committee reorganized
with Senator O'Conor at the helm.
It decided to hold additional hear
ings in Florida. It issued three
urgent" invitations to Gov. War
rem to testify.
Gov. Warren turned down the
first invitation, for June % in
Miami, without giving any reason.
He said, however, he would be glad
to appear at a later date.
To the second invitation, he re-
piled by suggesting the COMMITTEES
Evening star., 1951-07-15

Sumably would present President
Truman with the unpleasant choice
of signing a bill of which he dis
approves, or vetoing it and leaving
the country without any controls
law or defense production authority.
Basically, the contention of the
anti-administration coalition is
that Mr.. Truman really is after
more power, not just some tempo
rary economic controls. The basic
contention of the administration
is that the people need and want
to have their economic life con-
trolled in this period of emergency.
How Does John Feel?
The House of Representatives,
theoretically at least, is the legisla-
tive branch where members are
closest to the people. Congressman
run for reelection every two years.
1t may be assumed they are not
deliberately unresponsive to what
they believe to be the wishes of
their constituents. Back of the
varied moods, arguments, actions
and inactions of the 435 House
members last week, there were a
variety Of theories about the reac-
tion of John @. Public to the prob
lem of economic controls.
Here are some of them:
/. John is apathetic about the
whole matter. For all of the public
clamor, he hasn't really been hurt
by imitation SO far, and he isn't con-
vinced that the worst necessarily is
yet to come. He may talk lot
about how high prices are, and how
something ought to be done about
it-but he's actually rather relieved
when nothing is done about it. He
isn't prepared, in other words, to
buckle down to business for the
long, serious pull.
2. John is hopelessly confused
about the whole question of the
need for controls. Day after day,
from left and right, he is assailed
by expert assurances that the coun-
try is going to run on the rocks
unless controls are instituted-and
equally expert assurances that
nothing can do it more harm than
Evening star., 1951-07-15

tive Wolcott, Republican, of Mich
igan urged unsuccessfully that di-
rect controls not be applied unless
the Federal Reserve Board and the
Secretary of the Treasury used
traditional, orthodox methods"
such as raising discount rates, in
creasing bank reserves and stopping
Government buying to support
Government bond markets.
Democrats Jumped on the pro-
posal by citing everything from
history to horse meat. One member
predicted that if the Wolcott
amendment were adopted, this Con-
gresS would become known to pos
terity as "the Congress that put the
old gray mare on the family din
ner table"
The ease with which Democratic
lines turned back the opening-day
tide brought premature predictions
by some leaders that the principle
of direct controls" had been saved.
On Tuesday, however, the coali-
ton of Republicans and Democrats
at the southern end of the Capitol

Warren accepted service of the sub
poena, but returned it with four
page letter in which he told Senator
O'Conor: Neither you nor the Sem
ate committee has the power to
compel me to obey its commands"
Affront to Dignity
He said the subpoena was IAN
affront to the dignity, the SOW
ereignty and the independence of
the people of this State" Such an
encroachment, he added, might
well mark the beginning of the end
of the dual system of sovereignty,
Federal and State, under which this
Nation was established. ="
Thoroughly aroused by this time,
the Governor showed no disposition
to let the issue rest there. He
launched personal counterattack
against the members of the COM
mittee, one by one. He began del
Evening star., 1951-07-15

uging Washington correspondents
with lengthy statements of his side
of the argument. Some of the ma
terial sent out from his Office was
printed in elaborate booklet form.
A handsome picture of the Cover
nor was included as the frontispiece.
In this material, Gov. Warren
charged that Maryland "reeked
with gambling" while Senator
O'Conor was its chief executive. As
for Senator Kefauver, the Governor
said he was trying to promote him
self to the presidency through the
crime investigation. "The attacks
Kefauver has made upon me-" he.
complained, "are comparable to the
foul attacks Hitler made upon his
enemies"
Committee members, for the most
part, ignored the Warren blasts, as
they also ignored separate chal-
lenges to at least four of them
Evening star., 1951-07-15

the establishment or continuance
of controls. He is unable to follow
the technicalities of the argument.
He does not even know whether
those controls the administration
already has have been handled
effectively so far. ...
3. John hasn't had real, across
the-counter chance to see that, de-
spite the still-high prices of many
items. the upward price swing of
many other items has been checked
by present controls.
4. John is fed up with controls.
He is constitutionally allergic to
them, and as long as his leaders
give him any choice in the matter
he would rather take his chances
on a free-wheeling approach to the
Nations economic problems.
5. John really breads the day
when price ceilings may be re-
moved in an atmosphere of increas-
ing cutbacks In civilian goods as
defense production speeds ahead.
He assumes-often wrongly-that
most Congressman pay attention to

The committee took a dim view of
the proposed new site of its hear
ings. United States Senators don't
go chasing around after Governors"
said one member. "If I were Gov
ernor of Florida, with all the
charges and insinuations floating
around, I would beg for an oppor-
tunity to testify"
Gov. Warren thereupon declined
a third invitation to testify while
the committee was sitting in Flor
ida, despite a warning by Senator
O'Conor that his refusal would re-
suit in consideration being given
to further action"
That action, it quickly developed,

dict might be snapped back at the
politicians by some sudden turn in
the course of human, domestic or
international events.
There could be not the slightest
doubt that the House members,
even while they frittered away the
hours, knew they were engaged in
a debate likely, in its outcome, to
influence the course of American
history for some time to come. It
could not be said they showed signs
of not caring about the business
in hand.
Eveybody's in the Act
At the beginning of every days
session last week, no fewer than 375
and sometimes as many as 395 of
the members answered the opening
quorum call. On only one impor-
tant amendment did the total vote
fall below 800. And as for five
minute speeches, they must have
set something of a record.

CHRISTIANITY IS THE CURE
FOR COMMUNISM

We must give ourselves unto
PRAYER. Prayer must be the way
of life for us all. We must not mix
up anything with prayer. We must
not have interference with Gods
carrying us by our prayers.
The famous American Filler, Rick
enbacker, is going over our land
saying, that in two weeks the Rus
sian Army could overrun all of Eu-
rope and is therefore calling on us
all to PRAY. Doctors are saying
