yellow streak about demanding

A woman may be afraid of a
mouse, but she isn't afraid of a
louse. A louise is somebody who is
trying to take money from you
for not doing something he is
paid to do. Civilization is full of
them, and more crawl out of the
woodwork all the time.
A husband will let store clerks
badger him, butchers shortweight

him. His motto is "let we'll enough

The Morris investigation got
another setback this week when
the house judiciary committee
turned down President Truman's
proposal that Morris be given the
power to grant reluctant witnesses
full immunity from prosecution
in exchange for testimony.
Mr.. Truman said this meant
that Morris would be hampered
in doing a bang-up job.
Still pending before the house
committee is the Presidents re-
quest that Morris be given full
subpoena power, so that he can
get at non-government witnesses
and records.
Morris meanwhile continues his
hunt for expert asSistants-pre-
ferably from outside the govern
ment. Thus far he has had no
success in lining up a staff, al
though he was reported to have
assurance that such an expense
should not be a consideration.

The World Today

WASHINGTON --LP-How do
you get organized on a one-man
investigation of the United States
government and it's 2,518,200 en-
ployes?
And battle barrage of con-
greSsional potshotS at the same
time?
Well, certainly not quickly, and
some cynics hereabouts are now
saying: possibly not ever"
However, NeWbold Morris, I'm
dependent Republican" from New
York city, is trying his hand at
it.
Morris is en- impressively tall,
clear-eyed man, with quick
smile and informal manner, Per-
sonnally wealthy, he has along
been identified with philanthropic
causes and reform" government
in his native New York.
Morris accepted his unique as
signment as President Trumans
investigator to run down govern
ment miscreants after several
other outsiders" turned down
the job.
He accepted with enthusiasm
and optimism. He was sworn in
Feb. l as a special assistant to
Attorney General McGrath and
was publicly promised a COM
pletely free hand, with full ac-
cess to government records and
federal personnel.
He said then he hoped to get
his job done by early summer
roughly five months.
Zone government official, hear
ing this, got out pad and pen
Gil, figured that if Morris went
into all of the 300 departments.
bureaus, commission and special
agencies in the federal household,
he would have about one-half
Cay for each one)
After three weeks in office,
Morris now has the same organi-
zation he started with, namely
himself.
A good portion of his time
thus far has been taken up with
defending himself against critics
in congress. Congress, it should
be remembered, is the mother of
investigations-but not this one.
This was a White House idea.
These critics have variously
labeled the project farce and a
projected whitewash. Some have
charged Morris with having been
"uced" in the past by pink or
GaniZations in New York City.
Others have implied some Morris
connection with surplus ship
deals now under investigation by
senate committee.
Morris has replied that his
planned investigation is wholly
sincere and free of administration
influence, that he has never been
& ssociated d with any Com
munist or Red-front group, that

Wide Interest
In Stone AK

COLUMBUS, o., R,-A stone

motion here. Even the State De-
partment is interested in it.
The axe was donated among
other items to Columbus Goodwill
Industries, a charitable organiza-

Europe, via returning CT.
The axe is made of a type of

Rules Fair Board
Can Take Land

COLUMBUS, O., (AP)-The
Eayette County Agricultural So
ciety can acquire its present fair
grounds site by condemnation,
Atty. Gen. c. William O'Neill
has held
He said a 20-year lease by
county commissioners to the So
ciety would not bar such action.
O'Neill's opinion went to county
prosecutor Clark Wickensimer. 1t
said an injunction proceeding
could be taken for an indepen-
dent examination of property of
the society's decision to acquire
the property by condemnation.
Such an examination would
seek to determine whether the
purpose of injunction proceedings
was to obtain financial benefit
unrelated to the service of the
public need"

to s'the owning nation" Nobody
knows what nation that is.
Officials told the Rev. George
M. Evans, Executive Director of
Goodwill Industries, to hold the
axe in custody. But Mr. Evans
says the government rs going to
have to prove its case"
The axe has been seen on a
New York television program
since Goodwill discovered it. Many
persons have offered to buy it
and seven claim they own it.
But Mr.. Evans says he's going
to wait until he's really convinced
before doing anything with the
visitor from long time ago.

anonymous Valor to cope with the
long boredom of such chores as
housekeeping, and the firm brav-
cry to fight for her small rights
in the face of the public frown.
A mans heroism is usually
shown in the midst of noise and
bloody battle and memorialized by
phrases such as Don't Give up

But a woman has no applause
