Most of their time this summer modern days has not always been a debated issue. But this birthday { n terms of a national patriotism. ans youre preparing to warm up Ihe Washifig[on Merry-Go-Round By DREW PEARSON (Continued from Page 1) cials is as rare as a smile on the face of John L. Lewis. A bulletin recently sent to these employees quoted Senator Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts as saying: “Americans in the foreign service need to have great pride in their country. And it should be a pride that shows through, that re- flects the true worth of the Amer-| ican way of life.” . However, the President's salary boost was passed by Congress wh|le<‘ the struggling run-of-the-mine U.| S. diplomat abroad got none. Furth- ermore, the ritzy boys with drag .at the top came out fairly well « Their allowances weren't cut. But because the Budget Bureau sliced the State Department even below last year, many of the poorly paid, struggling young diplomats at the bottom had $100 cut off their liv- ing and rental allowances. To them the Truman “fair deal” has turned out to be a “raw deal.” For, while we spend billions on the European Recovery Program, we nurse nickles on the front line of the American program for peace. Note—Ore reason the American! diplomatic service has been so no-| toriously inept is that it has been so underpaid. Only wealthy men could' afford ic become career diplomats, and wealth does not necessarily mean brains. HE WHO GETS SPANKED Long-shanked Hou: majority leader John McCormack can be & rough antagenist - when he gets warmed up, but seldom has he been in sueh fighting form as during a lecture on racial tolerance the oth- er day. His target was race-baiting, rabble rousing Representative John Rank- in of Mississippi, who had just de- livered a speech singling out Israel, aleng with other continents of Eu- rope, Asia and Af , as a “sink- hole” into which we are “pouring” relief funds. Angrily McCormack told Rankin to “sit down.” Then he blistered: “I have no feeling against anyonei because of accident of birth. I wasj| not consulted when I was brought! into this world, neither was any- one else and I do not think acci- dent of birth should operate against | anyone, “A man’s racial origin means no- thing to me, 4 person’s name means nothing te me. A person’s religion I respect. But what does mean ev- | erything to me is a person’s mind.! “And when I meet a person with a bigoted mind, I am meeting a person I do not like, a person I have nothing but contempt for.” Stung to the quick, Rankin ve- hemently demanded that McCor- mack’s words “be taken down” by the clerk, the House instrument of censure. However, what most irk- ed Rankin apparently was not the lecture on tolerance, but an added McCormack remark “in which the gentleman from Massachusetts de- liberately and falsely accused me of | opposing every measure for the de- fense of my country prior to Pearl Harbor.” However, McCormack's senior col-| league, fair-minded Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas, promptly sat on |most too much of “Let George Do jname she bears. the boisterous little Dixiecrat, by ruling him out of order.
