TEXAS AND PALESTINE Diplomats who sat in closed-door sessions of the Palestine Commis- gion said that things went much better than expected. The British members got along well with the Americans, the British being espec- fally entranced with the genial per- gonality and Texas drawl of Judge Joseph Hutcheson of Houston. ~-Judge Hutcheson openea the private meetings by reading a statement of aims and principles which he thought the Commission might adopt. After listening care- fully, British Commissioner Richard H. 8. Crossman remarked: “May I compliment you, Sir, on the perfection of your language. I find myself in hearty agreement with every sentence, in fact every word. The British moemb: prepared no s nt, prepared cne, I am rot have mmn\ d on th ] am in confess T find statement at all Judge Hutcheson blinked. Then in a drawl exactly the opposite of Mr. Cressman’s incisive accent, he said: “Thank y . thank you. Nev- €r before have 1 had a compliment {from an Englishman, and I appre- ciate this one. But I confess that I am afraid to turn my head for fear I would find my throat slit irom ear to ear.” FATHER O'CALLAHAN'S MEDAL ‘Tomorrow, courageous Father Joe O'Callahan, Chaplain of the strick- cn carrier Franklin, gets the high- €est Nayy award from President Truman—the Congressional Medal of Honor. Behind this is some back-stage by-play. At politics operated agair han, ruled that he w to receive no medal of honor. When this col- umnist exposed back-stage man- euvering, however, ©O’Callahan’s case was taken to retary of the Navy Forrestal. reversed the sdmirals. Here are the rolitics: The Naval Award Board didn't want to give the medal to Chaplain O'Callahan without ' also rewarding Capt. Les- Qe E. -Gehres, commander of the stricken vessel. Howeve > fhad got in wrong by d the court-martial of six > we could In fact, that I for any nt sen O'Calla- He officers aboard the Frankiin. These six officers, it was claimed, had contributed to pandemonium aboard the Franklin by jumpil ifrom the carrier to the cruiser | Santa Fe alongside. Their jumping helped touch off an exodus of en- listed men and officers. Contributing to the pandemonium were two other factors. A handfu! of enlisted men, drenched and burned from fire-fighting, had been permitted to put on officers’ uni- forms when their own quarters were shut off by fire. Thus it was difficult to tell who were officers. Also the ship’s loud-speaker systein had broken down. Result: It was impossible to give orders which could be heard all over the ship. In the old Gays, orcers were giv- en by a boatswain with a whistle. But since the Frenklin’s demolisbed loud-speaker has shown how easv it is to lose control of a ship, the Navy has installed localized loud- speakers, so that if one breaks down in one part of the ship, others can be used elsewhere. All of which indicates some of the wheels-within-wheels regard- ing the Congressional Medal of Henor now being given to coura- geous Father O'Callahan. WHAT MAKES G.I. BLOOD BOIL Here are some of the which make G.I. blood boil: A recent diary of two Army pi- lots at Drew Field, Tampa, Fla: “. Flew brigadier general to At- lanta for purpose of picking up Christmas tree and leaving pre- sents for his daughter. Flight con- tinued to Chanute Field, IlI, to bring the Geperal’s son, a private, back to Tampa for the holidays. After Christmas, another ‘essential’ B was made to Chanute, Il to return' the son.
