SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE Able Secretary of Agriculture An- derson has come a long way from the day when he went out to New Mexico many years ago, suffering from tuberculosis. Attaining mem- bership in the cabinet of the U. S. is quite a climb for a country boy. There are only a handful of men every four years who attain that honor and distinction. At heart, however, Clinton An- derson is still a frustrated man. Most people don't know it, but his secret ambition long was to be- come an author. When he first went to New Mexico, Anderson had plenty of time to write. And he turned out dozens of magazine articles, aimed primarily at the Saturday Evening Post. As fast as he sent them to Philadelphia, howev Post editors sent them back. Anderson collected a fine assortment of rejection slips and finally stopped writing. He turned to insurance, cattle raising and politics, in all of which he has been eminently successful The other day, however, And son got his revenge.

He gave the Saturday Evening Post a “rejection slip” of his own (Note—One of the best piaces of literature written by any Washing- ton official in recent months Secretary Anderson’s guest column for the Washington Merry-Go- Round last summer, in which he found time to express the hope that some of the neighborly habits of the w such as car pools and victory gardens, might be con- tinued in times of peace. . % LEABY most vigorou eritic inside the White House Iis now Presidential Chief of Staff Adm. William Leahy. When Leahy read the final test of the Moscow Comnunique, he hit the ceiling. He then burned the midnight oil writing a blunt an- alysis of the Moscow decision for the President. He even went so far as to describe Byrpes' Moscow agreement as a “veritable Munich.” He also took occasion in the same White House memo to chast Byrnes for the complete brea of liaison between the White House nic BYRNES Jimmy By | handle end, when Truman agreed Byrnes had taken the only r onable course with the Russians and British in the Soviet capital Admiral Leahy is now saying that Byrnes is trying to have him ousted from the White House, which may be true. Actually, Leahy has long wanted to retire and has talked to Truman about doing so. Each time, however, the President has urged him to stay on. Now the admiral is so ups over our relations with Russia that he would probably like to remain until they are ironed out. P STATE DEPT. SABOTAGE A significant off -the-record meeting took place in the State Department shortly after President Truman announced his plan to bring European refugees into the United States by filling up immi- gration quotas during the remain- der of the fiscal year. The meeting consisted of mem- bers of the State. Department’s visa office and, although ‘it wasn't said so in these exact words, net result of the session was to sabo- tage the President’s plan for ad- mitting refugees. i The State Department officially decided: (1) that they did not have enoughr staff to handle more immigration vis: (2) that they would have to concentrate first on bringing home the foreign-born wives of American soldiers. While the White House is equally enxious to expedite the return of soldiers’ wives, the significant thing about the State Department meet- ing was that officials did not con- sider asking for a larger staff to refugee visas. Obviously, they would have received Tru- man’s 100 per cent backing. Their chief conclusion was that the wives of American soldiers were all they would have time to handle with their present staff before the fiscal year runs out on June 30 and they didn't want to enlarge their staff (Note — American immigration quotas have never been filled during the war, nor for some time before the Thus a larg number of refugees could be ad- mitted, as proposed by President Truman, without hew legislation and simply by using present quotas > G.
