APPOINTMENT SOUR GRAPES

The current criticism aimed at senator Humphrey
appointments Of price control officials for this by
Republicans Ed Thye and LANCER and the Minneapolis
STAR should be taken with grain OF salt
Humphrey approached by Price Stablizer III
Sale and asked for recommendations for the jobs AZ
least three conservative business in this
asked IL they would be available They said no.
This newspaper informed by telephone from
Washington that Neil MesSick and Emmett Salisbury,
both Minneapolis business leaders offered jobs
Arthur Lampland St Paul lumber dealer All three
of these supposed TO have made II plain that
they were not available
While appreciate the theory that price and
wage control should not be bound by partisan political
agnmcnt also realize that IL the controls ef
fIceny and effectively operated, il viii be political
liability to the Truman administration
The fact that Truman had selected for two Of tho
three most important jobs at the national level Charles
Wilson and Eric Johnston, members Of the Republican
party is brushed off by the Minneapolis STAR and other
critics not worthy Of consideration in discussion of
the political implications Of the Humphrey influence in
the regional appointments With this agree for

'Subversive Veterans
GET VA Home Loans,
.Leqion Session Told

The Veterans Administration
has approved housing loans for
veterans who are actively carrying
on Communistic activities in the
housing which they have pur-
chased, it was asserted today be-
fore the American Legion Re-
Mobilization Conference at the
Statler Hotel.
Neal j. Capaldo of st. Louis
told the conference that a group
of veterans who openely advocate
communism have purchased with
CT loans cooperative apartment
house in st. Louis in which they
hold Communist meetings.
Law Provides No Recourse.
Mr.. Capaldo wanted to know
from T. B. King, head of the VA
loan guarantee service, whether
there was any way to stop such
practices. Mr.. King told him that
under the present law, if a man
| is a veteran and shows his ability
to carry the loan, the VA has no
alternative but to approve it.
THAT sounds very peculiar"
Mr.. Capaldo responded. Il cannot
understand why the Federal Gov
ernment should loan money to
people to buy homes when they
are engaged in subversive activi-
ties looking to the very destruc-
ton of such practices"
Legion Unit to Act.
He said that efforts were going
to be made by the Missouri de-
partment of the Legion to have
the CT Bill of Rights amended
to preclude the lending of money
to subversives even if they are
veterans.
AS Korean war casualties in
crease, the rehabilitation of vet
erans is becoming increasingly
important, Erie Cooke, jr.. ma
tional commander of the Ameri-
can Legion, last night told the
group.
Mr.. Cooke said rehabilitation is
the No. / problem of the Legion.
He praised the conference mem
bers for having set up the ma
chinery to facilitate this task.
Other speakers were Gen.

Chiefs of Staff; Vice Admiral Joel
