Go-Round (Cuntinued from Page One) gentines one day, the discussion turned to Mrs. Berle's colleague and superior, Sumner Welles, Under Sec- retary of State. Remarked Senora Zuberbuhler: “Oh, I can't get over his figure. He is so tall, so erect, so straight.” “Yes,” replied Mrs. Berle, “he's too straight for me.” CONGRESS POKER Favqrite relaxation after a hard day in Congress is a snappy game of stud poker. The Capitol Hill poker frater- nity, of which Vice-President Jack Garner is the dean, includes all shades of political affiliations, Re- publicans, Progressives, Democrats, anti-New Deal Democrats, isolation- ists, national defense advocates. all play around the same table. One reason for this is a strict rule that controversial issues are never discussed. This wise ukase, however, was temporarily violated the other night when some of the boys got together. Players included Senator Burt Wheeler of Montana, isolationist leader, who sat next to Senator Ed Burke, co-author of the con- scription bill and lame duck Will- kie-Democrat. Near them were House Democratic Whip Pat Boland of Pa, and handsome Senator Scott Lucas of Illinois, champion of| Roosevelt’s foreign and defense policies, During the course of the evening Wheeler and Burke found them- selves frequently “in the middle;" and Boland. For them the evening was expensive. After contributing liberally for a long time, Wheeler finally commented to Senator Lu- cas: “Say, this is getting uncanny. Burke and I seem to "be getting nowhere. We contribute to every pot, but either you or Pat always hold the winning hand. You boys aren’t using signals on us, are you?” “Now, Burt,” drawled Lucas unp-! ishly. “How can you say that? You' know this is what we always do to isolationists and bolters.” Loudest guffaw came from pom- padoured Gene Cox, arch anti-New Deal Congressman from Georgia—| but no bolter or isolationist, HALLECK’S DILEMMA It hasn’t come out into the open yet, but a stormy undercover row is raging inside the House Labor Board investigating committee over whether it should continue its sleuthing or call it a day. | The committee's liberal minority \A—‘Represenlam‘os Arthur Healey of | Massachusetts, and Abe Murdock | of Utah—are insisting on the latter. | They hold that since the NLRB| probe has been finished, the com-| mittee should turn back its $30,000 of unspent taxpayers’ money and| quit. | But Chairman Howard W, Smith, | Over 1,500 congratulatory telegrams| | Virginia, who has secret ambitions| committee to continue operating by | going after racketeering in labor| Mimeograph letter he sent out in | large numbers over his congression- | organizations, Murdock and Healey are not op~‘ posed to combating labor racketeer- | ing, but contend that this is en-| tirely beyond the authority of the committee, Also, they charge that | Smith’s secret aim is to make poli- that is, stuck with losing hands be-| tical ‘capital for himself at ‘the tween raises and re-raises by Lucas| expense of the AFL and CIO.

Routzohn, Ohio Republican, All of which is very embarrassing for Representative Charles Halleck, curly-haired Indiana first-termer and Willkie’s nominator at the Philadelphia convention. With the other committee members lined up evenly, two. to two, Halleck has the deciding vote. Ordinarily, there would be no special significance in this, But as one of Willkie's clos- est political advisers, if Halleck votes for the probe Smith is try- ing to put over, then it's sure to raise howls in labor circles. In the past, Halleck has taken a middle-of-the-road position in the committee, but this time he will have to cut the line clean, NOTE — The drastic NLRB amendments jammed through the House months ago under Smith's maneuvering are still slumbering in the Senate Labor Committee and will continue to do so. Senator El- bert Thomas, Utah chairman of the committee, has no intention of taking up the legislation and it is doomed to expire with this Congress next January.
