The Washington Merry-fio-@d .By DREW PEARSON Continued from Page Cuc) pictures of the food being distri- buted in order further to impress the French people with the way the food was being used and where it had come from. Following my departure for Italy, however, Donald Lowery, head of the YM.CA. in Paris, called a meeting of American church and relief groups amd urged that what he called the “Pearson ballyhoo” be dropped. He proposed that the food be distributed on schedule, but without the previously agreed- upon program to identify it with the American givers. With the ex- ception of one American agency— the Jewish Joint Distribution com- mittee—the relief groups agreed with him. It was voted to cut out the so-called Pearson public- ity. Hearing of this action, the Amcrican Embassy discreetly in- tervened. Officially, the Embassy has nothing to do with the Friend- ship food, though unofficially its staff has been of tremendous help. Now, upon urging of the Embassy. the previously planned ceremonies for each Friendship Train have been reinstated. INEPT PUBLIC RELATIONS The New York Herald Tribune’s William Attwood has just publish- ed an interesting report from Ar- soli, Italy, entitled “No One Knows Who Sent The Foods” In it he tells how, thanks to American aid, 2,000 people in one Italian village are eating better and are warm- er than at any time since the war but the local mayor is a Commun- ist and he tells the people that' the American fcod which he dis- tributes is from Stalin, while the people think the food distributed by the church groups is from the Vatican. Nobody gives any credit to the United States. Since last ‘July, Italy has receiv- ed 200 shiploads of gift food from the United States and Ambassador James C. Dunn has religiously met many of these ships in order to im- press upon the people the fact that the food comes from the United States. However, it is Att- wood’s conclusion that they still realize this only vaguely and that, in the smaller towns at least, the Vatican and Stalin are still getting the major credit. Part of this misunderstanding is due to the fact that the U. 8. wheat is turned over to the Ital- ian government for which is probably the only mach- inery possible for bulk handling. but part is due also to the nickle- of Congressman John Ta- ber and his GOP colleagues who cut the heart out of the State distribution, | = TR N T ot ————— in the past year and wish them | Department’s propaganda program. orgarizing the Friendship .Train, a Happy New Year | | And finally it's due to some of the Italian Premier said: “Hitler During the Christmas vacation | | the most inept public relations and Benito Mussolini commit- | the girls were guests at the Min- | ! imaginable. ted a grave error when they attri- field Home and enjoyed the Lhrist- For instance, when the United buted the possibility of American mas program and the delicious| States recently turned over to Italy 22 Italian warships given the Uni- erations alone Mariners are planning to ted States terms of the peace “During a parade up Broadway their new meeting place| | treaty, it was big news back in to the City Hall in New York I e working hard for Merit| the United States but got t was struck by the view of a little Badges.
