Most people don't realize it, but the ex-New York Governor is not the representative of the United States on UNRRA—he is the rep- resentative of all countries. Ac- tually, Assistant Secretary of State Dean Acheson is the American rep- resentative, while Lehman was elected to be the impartial, neutral chairman for all the United Na- tions. HILLMAN AND DEWEY It happened, but was not report-| ed, at the Congressional probe of the CIO-PAC: Congressman “Took” Gathings of Arkans “Is it true, Mr. Hillman, that your organization, the Amal- gamated Clothing Workers, contrib- uted $5,000 toward the election of Thomas E. Dewey to the post of District Attorney in New York in 19372" Hillman: “That is correct.” Gathings: “Your attitude toward Mr. Dewey seems to have changed since ther Hillman: “Oh no, am ready to support Mr. Dewey again. I would support him with another $5,000 for the job of Dis- trict Attorney.” CENSORSHIP OF ROBOT ORDEAL British officials don't air their! feuds in public as officials do in' this country, but there has been increasing restlessness in high British circles over the arrogant, short-sighted policy of British In- formation Minister Brendan Brac-| ken. ! On his shoulders rests much of | the blame for the unfortunate wane of British prestige in this country in recent months, Especially, Brac- ken is blamed for failure to let the American public know the terrific sacrifice the British people are making during the robot bombing, a sacrifice comparable if not greater than that they experienced in the awful autumn of 1940 during the “Battle of Britain.” Since Dunkerque, obviously, the British people have not changed They have stood up to punishment in 1944 exactly as in 1940. But thanks to the secretive policy of Brendan Bracken, the public has no conception of it London today is in a practical state of siege. Millions are home- less.

Brendan Bracken, when called before Parliament, always has a glib explanation. He can quote the number of laudator ticles pub- lished in this American paper or But privately he speaks con- quotes to the British Cabinet President Roosevelt's derogatory re- marks about American newspapers as justification for his muzzling of the correspondents. Illustrating the results of Brac- ken's policy, one British writer re- ported that the American people were callous about London’s plight, when the real fact is that the Am- erican people have never been per- mitted to hear the full story of that plight. and CAPITAL CHAFF Before every White House press conference, scores of newsmen crowd against the velvet rope out- side the President’s office, await- ing the signal to enter.

Menninger, head of the Army Medical Corps neuro-, psychiatric division and brother of the famous psycho-analyst, Karl Menninger, has recommended that service - veterans discharged for imenml reasons be given lump sum cttlements rather than life-long pensions unless their disease is one rendering them wholly unfit for normal civilian life. The pension ystem, Menninger says, is largely sponsible for the average cost of 33,000 for each neuro-psychiatric casualty of the last war. Col. Menninger believes the | knowledge that a pension will al- w be paid robs many mental casualties of the.incentive to make | their own way. | “When we have a man of this type, a pension tends to. make him avoid facing and. solving his con- flict,” he say “A lump sum settle- ment would be far better for veterans and would save the Gov- |ernment a good deal of money.” | (Copyright, 1944, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
