TLike TeIevision'

Many people who owned tele-
vision sets as far back as 1851
recall Senator Charles w. Tobey of
New Hampshire as one of the most
hilarious entertainers since Mack
Sennett diSbanded the keystone
Kops. Last week, the aging Yankee
lawgiver held out hope to his fans
that he might be back again this
year, in a stellar rather than a
supporting role.
Terming the New York water
front scandals a national dis
grace" Senator Tobey told news
men after a visit with President
elect Eisenhower that he thought
he might investigate the docks. He
will head the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee.
The 1851 Kefauver investigation
of crime in interstate commerce,
of which Senator Tobey was a
member, inquired into the water
front situation, too. But the New
Hampshire Senator said last week
it had not looked far enough.
Advised that two probes of dock
side crime are now going on,
Senator Tobey misquoted John,
iv.35, only slightly to observe that
"the field is still ripe for the har-
vest" On the subject of televising
the proceedings, he said, "I'll go for
television. I like it,"

Committee Posts

The machinery by which Senate
committees are filled is as inter-
esting as it is unfamiliar to most
people. Like most other things
in Congress, committee assign
ments are in the hands of the
political parties and generally
Speaking-are regulated by senior
ity.
Each party has it's own com
mittee on committees" At the
start of a new Congress, each
Senator sends to his partys group
list showing the committees on
which he would like to serve. Old
members use this letter as an op-
portunity to get a promotion"
from less desirable committee to
more desirable one. New men,
berS list the units they would like
to serve on and hope for the best.
When there is one spot on, say,
the Armed Services Committee and
two applicants for it, the man
with more service in the Sen
ate almost invariably gets it. The
hash of freshmen is normally set
tied by party leaders, who decide
that this one will get Public Works
and that one District of Columbia.
So deeply entrenched in Senate
procedure is this committee setup
that even the Democrats voted
against Morse when he tried to
get around the rules. Though
many Democrats would have been
happy to see the disturbingly in
dependent Morse make trouble for
the Republicans, they were loath
to tamper with a system which, in
the course of events, will work to
the Democrats advantage again
some day.

Congress

DETRIBUTION, in American
IL politics, has way of coming
with the same stark inevitability
as the denouement of a Greek
tragedy. Last week it came to
Wayne Morse of Oregon, the nav
erick Republican Senator who
tremendously bolted his party
before the November election.
Senator Morse, at that time, let
it be known that he would hence
forth consider himself an ''inde-
pendent" When Congress con-
vened on January 3, he borrowed
a folding chair from a nearby
office and brought it into the
Senate chamber so he could sit
in the aisle in splendid isolation.
He finally was prevailed upon to
take his old seat on the Republican
side.
But his proximity to the ma
jority turned out to be more phys
ical than spiritual. This became
evident when committee assign
ments were dealt out early last
week.
Every Senator is entitled to two
committee assignments. Morse was
offered places on the Public Works
and District of Columbia Commit
tees-popularly considered to be
the doghouSeS of the Senate. He
was peremptorily bumped off the
vastly more important Armed
Services and Labor Committees.
In a final effort to keep the
choice assignments he held last
year, Senator Morse proposed to
the whole Senate an increase of
two members for each of those
groups. One would be a Repub-
lican-to keep the majority in the
saddle-and the other would be
Morse. He was squelched, 81 to z.
The theory behind the virtual
ostracism of Senator Morse was
that in well-ordered society, pun
iShment fitS-and swiftly follows
the crime. It would be a long
time, Senate leaders hoped, before

Hiss Again

Alger Hiss, the biggest catch in
the postwar Communist hunt, was
again seeking another trial last
week. His lawyers told a United
States Court of Appeals that the
former assistant to the Assistant
Secretary Of State had been
framed.
Whitaker Chambers, the lawyers
said, had faxed evidence on a type
writer rebuilt to make it look like
one that had belonged to Hiss.
Government lawyers said the
frameup theory made no sense.
Chambers, they said, did not know
the location of the old Hiss type
writer and therefore could not
have copied it. If he had known its
location, they continued, he would
not have needed to copy it.
The court reserved decision. A
similar motion before q Federal
District Court had been rejected
last summer. Meanwhile, Hiss was
finishing the second year of a five
year sentence for perjury. A plea
for parole had been turned down
last November.

Judiciary Committee, said literally
hundreds of active Communists are
teaching school today. To combat
this Red threat to the minds of
American youth, the subcommittee
had three recommendations:
i. Continue the units investiga-
tion throughout the present Con-
gress' life.
2. Urge State Legislatures to
consider local Investigations such
as the Rapp-Coudert probe in New
York before World War II.
3. Prevail on educational au-
thorities to launch positive pro-
grams" to inform both teachers
and pupils of the nature of the

justify his administration to the
public.
Korea, he said, was his most
important decision. But it was
only one among many decisions
he had had to make. The incom-
ing President would have decisions
too, and he would need the same
kind of public support which (Mr.
Truman declared) he had received
since April II, 1945.
Many Moods
Americans had seen their Presi-
dent in many moods: Irate, at the
time of the steel crisis last year;
stern, when the Korean war broke
out; caustically witty, during last
summers campaign; slyly humor-
Gus on many occasions. He was
none of these on Thursday night.
He was more the Dutch uncle;
friendly, but laying it on the line
nevertheless.
For perhaps the last time,
great many Americans saw him
emphasize his words with that odd
chopping gesture-as some one
once said, measuring his words in
18-inch lengths" CaStigating the
Kremlin and predicting its even
tual downfall, he said the ruina-
ton of the Soviet might come from
any of number of things, includ-
ing "the rulers fear Chop of
their own Chop people Chop"
1t was a familiar mannerism, and
one that will be missed by many.
Finally, at 1886 pm, he publicly
closed the book on his administra-
ton. Two women walked on
camera from the right side of the
screen. They turned out to be
wife Bess and daughter Margaret.
They stood at the Presidents side
as he ended his tumultuous tenure
with the simple words:
"And now the time has come for
me to say good night and God bless
you all"

Communism

VIE VILE OLD pOlltlCdl IN
Stitution of anti-Semitism
got another boost last week from
the government that likes to-
advertise itself as the most demo-
cratic and tolerant in the world.
Nine Russian doctors, five of them
Jewish, were seized in connection
with the "heart failure" deaths
several years ago of two big Soviet
wheels.
If it had just been a matter of
coincidence that the alleged mall
practitioners were of Jewish origin,
that would have been one thing.
But the Peoples Democratic Terror
tied them up with an "interna-
tional Jewish bourgeois nationalist
organization" called "Joint." The
reference was to the American
Joint Distribution Committee,
Jewish group which has spent sew
eral million dollars since the war
in helping needy European Jews.
Yesterday, Hungarian police seized
an eminent Jew who had been
handling Joints" affairs in
Hungary.
Rabbi Drops Dead
When the news of the doctors
arrest broke in Moscow, an aged
rabbi there dropped dead of shock.
Undoubtedly he had seen in his
minds eye the horrors of Dachau
and Auschwitz coming to life anew.
Certainly if he had been reading
Pravda and IzveStia, he had seen
something like the handwriting on
the wall. In Romania, Ana Pauker
was in disgrace and probably in
danger of her life. In Czechoslo-
vakia, Rudolf Slansky and his
henchmen already had gone to the
gibbet. The Jewish doctor
wreckers" we're just another link
in what seemed likely to be a long
and tragic chain of events. Details
of this chain are given in an article

The present case appears to be a
game of high palace politics, with
the hapless Jews and their gentle
colleagues in-the role of pawns.

Europe

@ TORN CLOUDS still hung over
- the West European community
last week. Whether France and
Germany would ratify the Euro
pean army treaty was still very
much in doubt. But all govern
ments concerned were trying to
act as if things weren't as bad as
they seemed.
Secretary Acheson tried to get
Americans to take the long view.
The big picture, he reminded US,
was still hopeful. There were
formidable difficulties" of course,
but he recalled that Europe had
come a long way in short while,
and he was still optimistic that
unification would be accomplished.
The new French Premier, Rene
Mayer, tried his best to cheer up
his allies. He was still for a united
Europe, he said, even though he
had to make certain concessions
to the ant1-treaty De GaulliStS to
get himself elected earlier this
month. He took the somewhat
battling position that the West
should trust him to get French
ratification of the treaty in good
time, but he insisted that he must
append at least two more protocols
to the document before it would
be acceptable to France. How he
could do this without dragging out
negotiations was a mystery he
didn't solve publicly.
In Germany, where every delay
in action on the European army
treaty brings an unpredictable
general election nearer, Chancellor
Adenauer tried to be understands
ing. A politician himself, he could
fathom Mayors political pickle

And Remington, Too

A familiar defendant went on
trial again last week, this time on
slightly different charges. His
guilt, however, still hinged on prov
ing he had been active in the COM
munist Party. The man was Will
liam Remington, former Govern
ment economist.
Remington first had been con-
victed in February, 1851, on charges
that he had lied to a grand Jury
when he swore he had never been
Communist. That conviction was
reversed by United States Court
of Appeals in August, 1851, on the
ground that the judge had been too
vague in explaining the law to the
Jury. A new indictment against
3 Remington was handed down by
a Federal grand jury in october,
1851.
Perjury Charge
This time he was charged with
lying during his first trial when he
testified he had never attended
Communist meetings, never given
secret Government documents to
Elizabeth Bentley, former Soviet
spy ring courier; never paid Com
muniSt Party dues and had had no
knowledge of the Young Commu-
mist League when he was a Dart
mouth student.
Testimony last week paralleled
that of his 1851 trial. Miss Bentley
said Remington had given her both
party dues and secret papers in
1912. His divorced wife, Mrs. Ann
MooS Remington of Alexandria,
testified that he had told her he
was a Communist Party member.
Two other witnesses said Reming-
ton had attended Communist Party
meetings when he was a messenger
for the Tennessee Valley Authority
in 1887. A surprise witness said
Remington had attended party
meetings in New Hampshire in 1885
and 1886.
Remington, at weeks end, still
had not presented his defense. In
his earlier trial he denied that he
had had any connections with the
Communist Party.

A NYBODY WATCHING the as
IA tonishing accomplishments of
President-elect Eisenhower in the
II weeks since his election would
have haZarded a guess that moth
ing could disturb the smooth
transition due to take place next
Tuesday.
Yet so small a thing as a size
TIA hat worth $40 had the in
coming administration in a tail
spin last week.
1t was just the sort of thing
to add much-needed leaven of
humor to the deadly serious busi-
ness of changing governments in
midstream.
For over century, the plug hat
had been as much a part of the
Inauguration as the Bible. The
top hat and the swallow tail coat
had become symbols of the newly
"OAA P1SoANC1lSy, 11hC G11C CAOWLA
and robes of new monarch.
Every one took it for granted that
President-elect Eisenhower would
sport a silk hat on Inauguration
day.
The BombsheII
Then, last week, the bombshell
burst, with hardly less noise and
confusion than attended the crash
of the Federal Limited at Union
Station. Gen. Eisenhower decided
he would wear a Homburg hat,
not topper, after all. Not only
that; he would wear a sack coat.
The great, near-great and would
be-great of Washington rushed
about in frenzy looking for a
place to hide the plug hat and a
place to buy a Homburg and a
Short-tailed coat. At weeks end,
it looked as though the crisis
would be over by next Tuesday.
But for a moment it was touch
and go.

Ready to Roll

NTEVER IN THE memory of the
l Y oldest inhabitant had a new
President descended on the WASH
ington scene so we'll prepared for
his job. Not only was Dwight
Eisenhower's cabinet appointed
and (for the most parD set for
immediate confirmation, he had 40
other top assistants ready to help
him carry the ball.
Five of the nine cabinet officers
already have been approved by
Senate committees. Three more
are expected to be cleared at meet
ings tomorrow.
There was one dark cloud on the
horizon, however. Wags had been
saying that Gen. Eisenhower's
cabinet was made up of "eight
n1illionaires and a plumber bor-
rowed from the Democrats" One
of the millionaireS-Charles E.
Wilson, former head of General
Motors-struck a snag when he
came up for the Senate Armed
Services Committees informal at
tention prior to formal nomination
to be Secretary of Defense.
Mr.. Wilson has cut his business
ties with GIN, but still owns GIN
stock with a current market value
of $25 million. General Motors
does about so per cent of the
business contracted for by the
Pentagon.
This raised the question: Do Mr..
Wilson'S very considerable GIN
holdings run afoul of the Federal
law which prohibits Government
official from dealing with any firm
in which he is interested?
Delay Over Week End
The committee decided to have
the matter studied over the week
end, and to take it up again next
Wednesday. Conceivably, Mr.. Will
son could be refused confirma-
ton. So could three of his closest
would-be associates in the Defense
Department, Roger Kyes deputy
Secretary of Defense), Robert
Stevens (Secretary of the Army
and Harold Talbot (Secretary of
the Air Force. Mr.. Kyes is GIN
stockholder, Mr.. Stevens is a big
textile man and Mr.. Talbot owns
Chrysler stock.
But such problem as this only
emphasized the progress Gen.
Eisenhower had made in forming
his Government. This progress
was all the more surprising because
of the time element. In all pre-
vious interregnums, from John
Adams through Franklin Roose-
velt's, the incoming President had
had four months to get things
going. PreSident-elect Eisenhower
had only II weeks.
In this time, he had formed his
government, made a trip to Korea,
and handed down spate OF i'm
portant basic decisions. Appar-
emily, he had done all this by
carrying over into his new civilian
Office the procedures that had
made him known as an admin
istrative genius in the Army.
The Civilion Legend
His organizing ability was be-
ginning to create the Eisenhower
civilian legend, to take place
alongside the legend of Ike the
soldier. Stories seeping out of
the Commodore illustrated how he
got the most of the best out of
his staff through a combination
of leading, driving, good humor
and inciSiveneSS.
