Speculating General

A General whom the President did not fire, but recently promoted, came in for hot cross examination behind the closed doors of the Senate Armed Services Committee. He is Maj. Gen. Wallace Graham. the Presidents personal physician, who was caught speculating on the commodity market. Despite this, he was promoted by Truman from Brigadier to Major General.
 Snapping back at heavy COP cress-questioning, General Graham testified: that he has stopped spec ulating on the commodity market since he was caught by the Sem ate Investigating Committee in 1947 .. he spends "an average of two hours per day" with President Tru-

Crime Reporter

The Washington Daily News crack reporter, Milt Berliner, got the last laugh on Congressman James. Davis, Georgia Democrat. Berliner wrote a series of articles, criticizing Davis's weak crime probe into the Capital underworld, in which it appeared to some that Davis was pulling his punches.
 Berliners articles so got under Davis's skin, that he complained to Berliner's editors.
 The other day, however, Daviss chickens came home to roost when Berliner received a newspaper guild award for his series on Davis. Sig nificantly, the judges included Sens. Margaret Chase Smith of Maine and Mike Monroney of Ok lahoma, both former colleagues of Davis.

both saw eye-to-eye on most Re- publican policy.
 The Michigan Senator, however, refused. The incident illustrates the closeness of their friendship, which later was broken by Vanden- berg's desertion of the isolationist cause.
 That was the biggest political change in Vandenberg's life. With VIE Day, he saw that atomic weap- ons, long-range rockets and big bombers had ended the traditional isolation of the United States. Ab- ruptly, he deserted the Chicago Tribune bandwagon. The Tribune, in turn, never forgave him. To the very end, its most scathing cartoons were directed at Arthur Vanden- berg, the turncoat.
 In civilian life, the American people do not usually fete their political heroes. The politician is so close to the people that they see. all his imperfections. He has to battle daily in the public arena where he gets soiled by the mud and invective of political combat. His statements cannot be censored; the photographers snap him as they will
 But though no pomp or circum- stance honored the closing days Of his life, Arthur Vandenberg de- serves all the tributes the Ameri- can people can give him. He will go down as one of the great poli- tical heroes of our day.

Yandenberg's Cooperation

Vandenberg went on to say, in our telephone conversation, that when he was actively in the Sen- ate, there were constant conferences and genuine teamwork between the State Department and his Foreign Relations Committee As a result of this teamwork, the North Atlantic pact had been written and rewritten about seven times.
 Tt really was a bipartisan foreign policy then" he said. But there doesn't seem to be the same rela- tionship now between the State De- partment and the Hill"
 Part of this, suspect, was due to the fact that Vandenberg him. self was no longer in harness. For his grasp of foreign affairs was as great as his prestige in the Senate

 Knowland also wanted to know how Graham happened to get his White House job. Graham admitted the approach from General Vaughan, denied he had known Vaughan previously, but said he had spent considerable time in Missouri.
 It was Senator Cain who asked Graham about his grain specula- ting. However, Graham not only reported he had stopped specula- ting but claimed he was living on his military salary. Democratic Senators Russell of Georgia and Johnson of Texas came to Graham's defense, point ing out that the Senators had an I Admiral Dr. George Calver) on luty full time to watch out for heir health

Yandenberg and Mccormick

History will attribute many great things to Arthur Vandenberg-in- cluding passage of the Marshall plan and the North Atlantic pact. But perhaps Vandenberg's greatest achievement was the ability 10 change his mind. Some statesmen can't do that. They get rigid and immobile.
 Vandenberg once told me how, during the 1886 Republican conyen- tion in Cleveland, Col. Mccormick of the Chicago Tribune had come to him late one night to urge that he run for vice president on the Ali Landon ticket. Mccormick was then extremely close to Vanden- berg. Both were strong isolationists,

serious situation"
A warrant charging manslaugh-
ter was served on Hardy at the
hospital last Thursday morning by
Detective Superintendent Glyn
Cowan. The Solicitor, Bullard,
Sergt. L. l.. Hause of the homicide
squad and other officers spent
some time in questioning the 800
pound Hardy, who readily admitted
he supplied ninety-nine gallons CT
the fatal drink to colored boot
leggers on October 19.
This liquor, police and Grady
hospital physicians charge, caused
the deaths Of twenty-nine colored
persons and two white persons and
hospitalized almost 800 others.
After checking Hardy'S story, the
Solicitor and homicide officers last
Thursday changed the charge to
murder.
Hardy, who was brought from
the hospital at Athens, Ca, told
investigators that he purchased the
liquor from man in Rabun
county. =.

Meanwhile, the death toll
mounted to thirty-one. The Fulton
County coroncr'S office said DEATH
of three persons on the list last
Thursday resulted from natural
causes, but four persons died dur

First arrested in 1881 at Gaines
Vile, Georgia, on liquor law vlo-

year and a day in the Atlanta
Federal Penitentiary for illegally
transporting liquor, FBl records
show. He was sentenced to twelve
rlonths on whiskey charges in De-
Kalb County in 1941, two years on
Federal charges in 1912, and five
to ten years in DeKalb County in
1947 for nlanslaughter, and two
