Wutch On The
POTOMAC

Robt. G. Spivack

The takers and the thinkers
A stranger in town would find
the situation hard to understand.
He visits the Capitol and discov-
ers that a filibuster is on. The
talk is of civil rights; so are the
headlines. The Senators swab
their threats, wear loud-colored
pajamas in the Old Supreme
Court chamber, carry suitcases,
have thermos bottles at their
desks. Everything is ready for a
long siege.
Then you 60 to the Senate din
ing room. What are the Senators
talking about? Not civil rights,
not missiles, not presidential po-
litics. There seems to be only one
subject of conversation: Is bust
ness getting bad?
X X X
More than anything else this
is the BIG topic of conversation;
everything else is subsidiary.
You have to go back, at least,
to the beginning of the year to
trace what has happened. The
financial forecasts for 1860 were
rosy, more optimistic than they
had been in several years. The
end of the steel strike fore
Swallowed increased spending.
Then reaction set in.
The business community, es-
.pecially Wall ST., began hearing
from its own economists; SO did
the Joint Economic Committee
in Congress. What they said, in
essence, was that the govern
ment had no plans for economic
growth. There was nothing on
the boards to inspire expansion.
The transition from a wartime
to "a peace-time economy was

THEATRE

Cyrus Adler

The Gangs All Here paints a
bipartisan picture Of venality
flourishing in the administration
of well-meaning but incompe-
tent president. An honest Onion,
Senator Griffeth P Hastings is
manipulated by his state boss,
Rafferty,, into the position of com
promise presidential candidate.
When elected Hastings brings his
old cronies to power with him
appointing them to important po-
sitions. Behind his back they pro-
coed to rob the government of
millions of dollars. Hastings
eventually finds out about the
thievery through the efforts of a
nice, clean-cut young man. But
Hastings hesitates to believe and
to act because they are his
friends.
With exposure by Senate
committee imminent, Hastings
finally removes and denounces
his cronies. Then he takes an
overdose of sleeping pills.
In defense of his thievery Raj
ferty says in effect that that's
the American way-It's simply
enlightened self interest. After
all, what position other than the
politician, demands such long
hours and hard work and pays
so little legitimately. These atti-
tudes are all too common among

Twas the week before Christmas when all round the earth
Not creature was laughing, in spite Ct The mrh;
The hands were all cupped and turned up with such gee
Il wonder what ST. key is bringing for me?"
The diplomats were nestled snug in their beds,
While visions of foreign aid danced in their heads;
And Mamie in her kerchief and Ike in his cap,
Smiled with thoughts of the tenthousand mile gap, =
When out on the runway there arose such roar,
With the great soupedup Jet getting ready 10 soar.
Away to the heavensi il flew with flash,
Off on a Journey that would cost US our cash.
The gloom of the clouds and the size Of the rain
Gave the whole Roman people heIuva pain;
They watched and they waited till twelve minutes late,
Their personal Santa Claus rolled up to the gate
Take look for yourself and see what I've brought,
It's Barbara and Johnnyboy; is that what you sough?"
A round of big parties parades through the streets,
A swapping Of stories, the telling of feats;
Then John Twenty Three sgnori segni and Gronch,
I'm off for Paree, New Delhi, Karachi!"
As they raced down the runway Colonel Draper did call:
Now dash away dashaWay.. away from it all,
Let's HE US 10 Turkey to have great ball
In Ankara with Bayar, Menderes ct al"
For sixteen long hours they PARTED some more,
With food wine and music and dancers galore;
Then Pas<stan's cal made them hurry along,
TO Mohammed Ayub Khan, St. Ike sang The same song:
with charm we can win in this terrible cold war,
At least that's the reason I'm visiting for -.
In lieu Of a policy meant to do good,
I've come to explain we are not understood"
Then back in his great big Empowered Sleigh

But found il so cold, you must keep hat on!"
From there to New Delhi, 10 Prasad and Nehru
