LOMOMOTIVES TO RUSSIA Alert War Assets Administrator Jess Larson has stepped in to block the sale to Finland of 30 loccmotives, built during the war for broad-gauged Russian railroad tracks. Larson reported to ‘ Presidential adviser John Steelman that he suspected the Finns of fronting for Russia, and got White House per- mission to hold up the sale Before Larscn stepped in, how- ever, the Finns had already bought up six locomotives at $6,200 each For the remaining 30, they were prepared to go as high as $50,000 each—an indication of how badly Russia needs rolling stock Larson now plans to offer the locomotives to Western Europe un- der the European Recovery Pro- gram JOBS GREASE MACHINES Ed Flynn, boss of the Bronx, ex- Chairman of the Democratic Na- ticnal Committee and one of the men who put Harry Truman across as Vice President, has decided to stick with Harry for another round To insiders this is big news. For Ed Flynn, more than almost any other Democratic leader, has grous ed and growled, fumed and fussed at Truman's leadership. Several times he has threatened to bolt Once he said he wasn't going near the White House any more. “Despite -all this, Bd has finally two ‘The new group can assist | in cementing these stones more solidly if it so desires. | an Eread Lines under the new sy rm the nucleus of ber of Commerce. hope it succeeds hip and guidance.

Unless they get along with Tru- man, they are cut off from the thing that greases political mach- ines— jobs. Ed Flynn, incidentally, got one juicy, all-important job just a | short time ago. After consider- able pressure he secured the ap- pointment of Paul Rowen to the | Securities and Exchange Commis- ! sion. Rowen is known to be ready to vote for Ed Hanrahan to become chairman of the SEC. and Hanra- han, in turn, is also a friends of Flynns. | This will give the Flynn law | iirm, which handles considerable Wall Street practice, two friends on the commission which governs Wall Street. Note—It was atter the White House appointed Rowen to the SEC that Flynn decided to stick with Truman. i ONE-MAN DICTATORSHIP In addition to the job done by Senator | smcothing John L. Lewis' ruffled hair, Congress might give some though to the most undemocratic part of Lewis' setup—his failure to hold real mine elections. { Unlike the United Auto Workers, the Electrical Workers and various cther unions which stage tough election battles annually, the United Mine Workers hasn't had any real excellent Bridges in election for years Oonce or twice rival mine lead- ers have tried to oppose Lewis only to be ostracised or beaten up. Gradually, therefore, 1l lead- | ers with views of their own have drifted out of the mine union— | Jchn Brophy, Phil Murray, Van Bittner, Allan Haywood and Da- vid MacDonald. Lewis now stands serene and alone, the supreme dic- tator of the miners. There is no cne in Washington headquarters to challenge him Furthermore, Lewis also keeps a tight hold over every district lead- er. And woe unto any rank-and- file members of the union who revolts against a district leader.
