proverbial - and a very literal

An explosion was heard in

BY the time the smoke and

II the lid Is really blown
OF congressional junkets one
of these days. nobody win be
more pleased than most Of
the wives Of our legislators.
Texas Representative Omar
Burleson's plan for making
public every Congressman's
use Of Government funds for
travel is being received with
cheers by Capitol Hills fem
mime contingent.
The wives Of Senator's Mon
roney Of Oklahoma. Hennings
Of Missouri and Kefauver Of
Tennessee are among the
women who would like to see
the same thing happen in the
Senate. Mrs. Price Daniels of
Texas Is definitely In favor
Of 1t. "I never make any
speeches or anything" says
Jean Daniels, '.but I have
come out for Omar Burleson's
bill"
A lot Of Texans have the
idea that Senator Daniels en-
tire family travelled on Gov
eminent expense last summer
when actually the Senator's
way only was paid. As chair
man Of q subcommittee Of the
Senate Commerce Committee,
he had to attend the meeting
In Geneva on peaceful uses Of
atomic energy. 50 his trip was
justified. But the whole family
travelled second class so each
of their three children could
pay his or her own way out
Of Q cashed-in war bond.
Didn't Meet
And then there was the In
diana Congressman's wife who
wanted to meet her husband
In Hawaii on his last lap home
but didn't because she knew
she would be accused Of using
Government funds, though she
went at her own expense.
ON THE SHOCKING SIDE
Is the case Of the Southern
Senator who Travelled free TO
South America and spent most
Of his time In bars issuing inn
polite statements. The
married Senator who made
passes at women In every
country he visited on United
States funds. The Rep
resentative who left q $40 bar
bill in Capri for Ambassador
Clare Luce to pay out of
State Department funds. :.
The Senator who just last
month blew his top when he
got to . Far East post and
found there actually were no
counterpart funds he could
take 10 pay his travel expenses.
State Department people are
seething over his gan. .
And the Senator and his wife
who blu1fed their way free Of
charge through most OF Eu-
rope.
Many Of the trips maybe
all Of them can be justified.
says Representative BurIeson,
who thinks its important for
legislators to have q gIobal
concept. But II they're justi-
fed, the travellers won't object
to the expenses being made
public: II they're not, they
ought to be exposed.

NEW YORK, May 4 often
American veterans today still
we're seeking funds for trip to
Moscow for a reunion with the
Soviet soldiers they met at the
Elbe River during World War II.
The 10 were stranded here
yesterday after it turned out
they didn't have sufficient funds
to reach Paris. Transportation
from Paris to Moscow was as
sured them by the Soviet gov
eminent.
The Moscow reunion, part OF
the Soviet celebration of the
10th anniversary of victory over
Nazi Germany, is set for next
Monday.
Joseph Polowsky of Chicago,
head of the Moscow-bound
American group, appealed for
funds through reporters and
newsreel cameras.
Tickets Cost $3.50
Mr.. Polowsky said he is de-
termined to make the trip, even
If the others could not. Round
trip tourist class plane tickets
to Paris for the group would cost
$3.50. All 10 have been granted
Soviet visas.
The group Cancelled reserva-
tions on a Trans World Air
lines flight last night after it
became apparent they hadn't
enough money.
I'VE thought we had a COM
mitment for the money but it
didn't materialize, Mr.. Polowsky
said.
However, Mr.. Polowsky was
hopeful that the group will get
enough money for the plane
fare today.
Il am sure we will CO." he
said, land we will represent the
American point of view"
The planned trip brought pro-
tests from the Elbe Day National
Veterans Committee, which or
ganized a reunion celebration
here April IS.
Propaganda Charged
The committee, which includes
members of the American Le-
gion, Amvets, Catholic War Vet
Grams, Jewish War Veterans and
Disabled American Veterans,
charged that the Russians were
trying to use the reunion for
propaganda purposes.
1--WE resent the efforts of the
Soviet regime to pervert the sig
nif1cance of this 10th anniver-
sary." the committee said.
MIR. Polowsky's group. which
calls itself the American Veter-
ans of the Elbe Meeting, had in
vited Soviet veterans of the
meeting to a reunion originally
planned in Washington.
"A reply through the Soviet
Embassy in Washington said 10
Soviet officers were ready to
leave.
However. the group refused to
be f1ngerprinted by United States
Consulate officials in Moscow,
